QFT. I don't see why people are still so bent out of shape about this man. I mean, yes his exit was douchily done...but it certainly wasn't the worst exit ever.

Bamafan... this makes me curious. Just as something of a thought experiment, would your admiration for him be the same had he joined the Church of Scientology?This. I know that his exit from Kamelot really screwed some people over, so it's hard for me to be 100% sympathetic to him, but I have to admire the strength of his convictions. He walked away from a very well paying gig because of that small, still voice inside him. I'm not sure I'd have the strength of character to do the same.

Understood. It doesn't necessarily have to be the Church of Scientology. The same question would be applicable if asked about Nuwaubianism, Church of All Worlds, Mormonism, etc.

He actually wore a shirt that would make him look like he had sleeve tats? Wow the band should have booted his ass that day.
As image-conscious as Thomas is about Kamelot, I doubt it was something that Roy did unilaterally.He actually wore a shirt that would make him look like he had sleeve tats? Wow the band should have booted his ass that day.

I completely agree that it's silly, but neither of us lies in Kamelot's target demographic. For better or worse, Thomas knows what type of crowd has solidified Kamelot's status, and he doesn't shy away from that, be it in the band's image, their setlist choices, or the direction new material has gone in.That makes it no better if it was a band agreed upon thing. HAHA That just makes them all seem just as goofy then and Khan would then be a tool. Seriously faking tats come on now, that is no different than a sock in the pants (some of you will get the inside joke there).
I'm wondering if he still accepts the royalties from the Kamelot releases?
I don't see why he couldn't still keep on rocking . Maybe he should give Rob Rock a call.
Not to go completely off topic, but I know a lady who's a scientologist and she was actually pretty normal. I was kind of shocked she was into scientology, but the truth is that they actually have some normal well-adjusted people in there. Now, snakehandlers...
Definitely a fair answerGood question. Knowing what I do about L Ron Hubbard, I probably wouldn't be quite as impressed. Of course, I wouldn't have been as impressed if Roy joined the Westboro Baptist Church either.

That said, the fake tattoos really are ridiculous...it makes the later, goth-focused theme look like a good idea.
