Do you know why you can't find a new singer?

crystalg · January 13th, 2006, 11:07 PM

The reason you guys haven't found a new singer for haji is simply that Vince was the heart and soul of your band. He has the most mesmerizing voice; no matter who you find they won't even come close to the talent you had when this band was started. Vince is a great man; to think that ya'll kicked him out because he wanted to spend time with his family is bullshit. But hey, it's your loss; not his. Peace

I agree kinda. Vince was awesome and really fitted Haji very well. I just hope they can either find someone as good or better then Vince or at least bring Vince back and reform Haji.

You guys are waaaaayyyy to talented. Haji has the potential to be a very successful band.

I got both of your CDs, too.

Actually,

I disgaree with you. Eddie was a much better vocalist than Vince was. Just IMO, of course.

Surprisingly, after 10 frikkin years have passed, I've had a few "Eddie Ellis" oriented inquiries lately.

The manager for Chris Poland & OHM: wanted to know if there was any chance of us getting back together with him, (we haven't heard from/about him in I don't know how long, so "no"), and if there was any more of that old '94/'95 era Haji material left. ("yes", but it's all in various states of unfinished disarray... I've posted a couple of the tracks up on the Haji myspace page just for the hell of it)

Crazy... I don't know if I'd want to work with him again or not, but I've always been curious as to what happened to the guy.

BTW, Vince has a myspace page:

http://www.myspace.com/vincentmullins

Look what he says:

VINCENT MULLINS's Blurbs
About me:
Well, as the most recent voice of Haji, I still live in the past of being the vessel that should have, and may soon still take Haji to our/their mecca....No matter what happened with the band, Eddie was still destined to leave the band and promote Cheyenne. That was in the cards. I do look forward to Haji's resurection some time in the near future. With what line-up???Who knows? I am currently General Sales Manager for Fairway Ford in Henderson Texas. Sucks...but I have a side project that keeps my pipes in line. I should have some of my favorite tunes from the past up soon...so stay tuned kids....And keep on fuckin' rockin'!!!!!!!If you would like to see Haji brought back to life then let us hear you. Blow up this site and the Haji site. Tell all your friends to comment the shit out of us/them. If you know someone that is in a position to help, send them a link. Peace...

Think it means that he may return to Haji?

Well, I generally stay away from the word "Never".... but I can say with a significant amount of confidence that the Vince, Eddie, Derek & Rob lineup of Haji will never re-unite.

Vince's "open letter" to Haji fans pretty blatantly states his wishes, but the rest of us don't have much interest in going back to that.

If we ever move forward again, it would probably be because we found a new guy that just excited us to no end, or because we all finally had the time to come through with that long-hinted-at instrumental project we've talked about for so long.

no offence Derek but I dont think anyone is capable of replacing Vince....

DatFatPat · July 9th, 2006, 02:41 PM

YOu made everyone cry when you said those words, Derek.

We ALL would love to have VInce back in Haji and see the band reunite.

Hell, I'll sign up for the street team. Just send me CD samplers, flyers, etc. and I will be passing those things out like a Sex Ed teacher passing out condoms to virgins.

DerekB · July 9th, 2006, 09:16 PM

Dude, I'm really sorry to say, but it's incredibly unlikely that we'll ever do *anything* again.. much less with Vince.

I feel your pain tho.. I'd really love to see Roth get back together with Van Halen, but that ain't happening either.

I spoke to Eddie yesterday for the first time in over a month, and he won't have time for anything non-cheyenne-related until next summer.

That's an even bigger roadblock than our singer issues.

DatFatPat · July 9th, 2006, 10:14 PM

DO you guys hate Vince that much like Vinnie Paul hates Phil Anselmo or are there other issues?

DerekB · July 10th, 2006, 12:27 AM

Hmm.. how to answer.

There are "issues" involved, yes; but I've never been one to "air the dirty laundry" in public.

It serves no purpose, and it's no-one else's business as far as I'm concerned.
