Breaking up Is Hard To Do

   Why do bands break up?  Let's take a look at some notable break-up/line-up changes in the last year:

- Breaking Benjamin fires their guitarist and bassist over making "unauthorized and unilateral decisions."

- Deuce leaves/gets kicked out of Hollywood Undead over a lot of nonsense.  Things got ugly.

- Adam leaves Three Days Grace over some disagreements following an illness.

- Ryan reisgns from Funeral for a Friend to focus more on parenting.

- Jet splits.

- Swedish House Mafia breaks up, stating the desire to "do something different."

- INXS is finally calling it quits.

- Bon Iver is taking a break.

  A few more bands not worth mentioning either kicked members out or called it quits.
  

 What makes this relevant?  Well, my band, 3 Way Street is undergoing a lineup change:  I'm quitting.  I don't want to put all of our business out there, but the reasons were mostly mine.  We have different goals and agendas and I feel that I need to play with some new people.
