Breaking Benjamin band members fired by frontman via e-mail



Breaking Benjamin is broken. Frontman Benjamin Burnley, according to CitizensVoice.com, fired guitarist Aaron Fincke and bassist Mark Klepaski via e-mail back in May. And anyone can tell you that when you let go of someone via the internet, it’s a bitch thing to do.

The reason for the firing is that Burnley claimed that Fincke and Klepaski made decisions for the band that were unauthorized. It stemmed from the duo working on a new recording of the song “Blow Me Away” which will appear on a greatest hits album, Shallow Bay: The Best of Breaking Benjamin, the band is releasing August 16th. Burnley’s lawyers claimed they worked on the song without his knowledge and without consulting him after their record company offered Fincke and Klepaski $100,000.

Fincke and Klepaski have countered, via their lawyers, and said they “dispute and strictly deny” any allegations made against them. No comment has been made by the band’s management.

    Yur All Fags. Our remix is obviously 10 X million times better then the original. So what that we didn’t write the music on it or lyrics or sing on it. Mark be cooking the brown note and distracting the fool, and I had to be busy fingering that Ho-bitch to get her to sing in key. Got me sweating.

    Love Aaron and homeboy Mark. Thx a lot for buying compilation album. I need some cash to bust our singers nut.
