So yeah, as a law student, without taking sides...
It's not surprising that people here and elsewhere assume they have all the facts just because they've read every interview by every band member or because they've seen every Blabbermouth headline.
Of course I'm tempted to think "well, he chose to leave so this is stupid," but I'm sure it's more complicated than that.
And, of course, bands sue each other all the time for all sorts of reasons and eventually reconcile. Black Sabbath, Floyd, GN'R (Axl, Duff, and Izzy, at least...), anyone? Some do, some don't. Point is, none of this permanently burns any bridges.
Perhaps some interesting facts will come to light.
