Avril Lavigne Bandaids: The Best Damn Avril Lavigne Fansite - View Single Post

I'm new to this forum, so I apologize if this has been asked many times before or is taboo or something.

I'm just curious, what happened to all the band?

I was a big fan of hers during her first album, when her line-up was Evan, Mark, Jesse, and Matt. I know Mark left because of Closet Monster and was replaced by Charlie Moniz.

Sadly, before her second album came out, I didn't really listen to her as my music tastes were evolving. I remember seeing her on TV however and noticing a different guitarist other than Jesse. I've heard rumors about why he left.

Anyway, these past few months I have gotten re-aquainted with her music and I own "Under My Skin" and "The Best Damn Thing" and they are both wonderful albums. Well I was sad to see that none of the original bandmembers were left. While I think her new bandmembers are all talented, I was wondering what happened to them all. I read on Wikipedia things like this "In February 2007, it was announced officiallly that Brann is not longer part of Lavigne's band" but that is rather vague. Did he leave? Was he fired? What were the reasons? Or is that all anyone knows?

So again, sorry if I annoyed anyone with this question or if I bored you with my story, or if these questions have been asked before, or if it's an unwritten rule not to talk about this (As a big Heart fan, I know there are some topics that the devout fans don't like talking about certain topics so I'd imagine it'd be the same with Avril) or if I'm annoying you with all my apologies, lol.
