God Forbid bass player John Outcalt has spoken about the bands decision to call it a day. The following was posted on Outcalt‘s Facebook, however it has since been deleted.
“So as you all know by now God Forbid broke up. I don’t really want to talk about the why and how concerning this and my feelings about it, other than to say I’m not disappointed so much about the fact that it happened, but rather the way it happened.
What I do want to say is thank you, to all the people who have supported us and helped us along, and that means our fans, our families and loved ones, other members of this band that once was, people who have fed us, let us sleep in their homes, people who gave us rides to where we needed to go no matter how far, who let us borrow equipment, who worked for us for less than they should have been paid or for nothing at all, people who bought us drinks, who drove hundreds or even thousands of miles or stayed up until the wee hours of the morning to see us play (or both), people who have shared their time, skills and advice to help us, those who have slept in the most filthy and uncomfortable positions in our tour vans, who have risked their lives with us on back to back to back overnight drives all over the country and the world, people who have spent their hard earned money to help us by buying an album, tee shirt, a drink or to get into a show, people who have chosen to be and to remain our friends through the greatest of times and through the worst, to bands we have shared the stage with both huge and unknown.
Thank you so much for all the faith and generosity that any and all of you have shown to us over the years we have existed. I hope you’ve learned from the bad times and savored the good times as much as we have. I can’t say it enough, thank you so much!”
