Can't remember for sure, but it might have been right after the travel show and may have been "Got my own thing now".

Matt "the bored netsurfer" ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 02 Jul 1999 10:48:24 PDT From: Ryan Sargent Subject: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! Ken just put this up on the official page: "Sorry Folks, but my pal Tom Maxwell has informed Mammoth Records that he has left the Zippers to pursue a solo career. I will continue to work with him (as I did on his excellent album "Samsara") if he needs me, and I will continue to consider him one of my best friends. But for now, no one else is leaving this band, or they'll have to deal with ME! This is a very sad day for me and Y'all, I'm sure, and I have requested that Tom write something for this site, and I expect that he will soon. Any letters of support to Tom will be delivered to him; please put TOM in the Subject of your messages, to help me organize them. I have already received about 100, based on rumours. I love Tom, am sad to see him go, and wish him the best, and hope that y'all will support him in his future endeavors." What the Hell!?!?!?!? His solo album is not even out yet. It's just to wierd to think of SNZ without Tom. Just think of all he has put into the band. "Hell" "Put a lid on it" "Twilight" "Meant to be" "Pallin' with al" "Trou Macacq" "Soon" "The Kraken" "A Johny Ace Christmas" "My Evergreen" "Carolina Christmas" "Hot Christmas" "Club Limbo" "Plenty More"....That scream at the end of Hell. Well, I guess if SNZ ever does tour again we will never hear Hell. Damn! Just think of every SNZ show you have ever been to, or any SNZ CD you have...then think of them if Tom was gone. I thought this solo album stuff would be all for the good. I didn't think anybody would leave. I will support Tom with his solo career, but this whole law suit thing is taking a beating on SNZ. I think we all should write like Ken said, and MAYBE Tom will think agian. But untill then I trust Ken to keep everybody else stable. _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.

Of course, I wish Mr. Maxwell the best... but maybe ::fingers crossed:: this is a "Paul is dead" type of deal, and it's just to see what the fans have to say. If not.... :^( we'll miss ya Tom!

All Tom Maxwell, all the time. And what's the deal with Shorty Brown?

I was just watching the "Behind the Music" program about Stevie Nicks... who would have thunk that Fleetwood Mac would ever be reassembled? I'm not the biggest FM fan in the world, but it was good to see them all back - looking good, gray hair/no hair and all, but most importantly... happy. I suspected the Zippers were not going to remain "as is" after I saw them live last September, and at the time Ken wasn't able to talk about any details. I don't know if any of the current happenings go back that far, but I think the lawsuit started around that time. The other thing to remember about SNZ is that they've got a one-sided contract with Mammouth (which they are on the wrong side of) and other issues. We may never see them again as SNZ, for the moment they exist as a band only on paper anyway. Fotunately... and this is MOST important... all of the band members are active, making music, expanding their horizons... and are always free to work together again in the future in any manner they choose. SNZ has produced a total of 3 full albums, two short albums, a Christmas album, and a raft of spinoffs and affiliations in a short time. Moreso than the albums I will certainly miss Tom in concert, with his almost John Belushi-like energy. Guess I'll have to buy tickets for his new act, eh? Maybe they'll be the opener for the Zippers next time around...

If you've got nothing to do, they're re-playing the Big Rude Jake/SNZ concert on www.liveconcerts.com at 9:30 EST (that's 6:30 PDT).
