xfactor675 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Nice As Cities Burn 1 min · ACB has ended, this time for good. All shows are cancelled and everyone moving on to different things. Sorry to anyone that bought tickets for upcoming dates. We realize it's abrupt and confusing but that's all there is to say right now. Thanks for the support throughout the years. It's been fun.

FlippingOut Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Aaron Lunsford is one of the biggest douches around. He goes off on people on FB then deletes everything off Twitter like he's trying to move on from a crazy ex girlfriend. If I had to work with him I'd flip out too and want to end ACB Fridge Fox 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be surprised if they see nothing, considering the band didn't know about any of the pressing or repressing of the first two albums until it was announced/being sold by T&N. Literally no control or input into the process. Hell or High Water will be a different story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcafilm Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 This is one of those bands that people feel inexplicably entitled to. That being said, Lunsford does have a flair for the dramatic. This could have been a boilerplate "spend more time with our families" announcement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between his on-stage meltdown and Facebook responses to fans, something just seems off with the guy though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwiftCat Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Well, ive read his book and its actually very good. I listened to a pod cast with cody bonnette and by the way he talked about writing and making music.. It seems like he puts a lot of pressure on him self and has his difficulties also. Aaron has admited to his panic type emotions... Its fair to say its probably hard difficult for both of them. I personaly think aaron really wants to continue with as cities burn. Its hard to spend 5+ years of your life doing something,, and then just stop. Especially if it defines who you are. I just want to have one last as cities burn experience live. The only time i saw them was when i loved their first album and then they only played cns. At the time i didnt know any songs to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much the same thing happened to me, saw them on my 19th birthday just weeks after CNS came out. They played Bloodsucker and the rest was a CNS set.
