That's terrible. I really enjoyed them on the Maladjusted tour.

That sucks I really liked them and they're from Chicago too. I hope it's not true but I believe it.

That's fine by me that they broke up...I knew them when I was younger (11 or 12 years old), and they were all @#!!!s then, and I talked to Josh last year (they played here at the good 'ole UofI) and he's still an @#!!!. As far as I'm concerned, they should have broken up when they sold out. You guys never heard them when they were REALLY good.

I met them too and they seemed really immature. They can't settle down. I think Josh must drink a lot of caffeine or something.

Sorry to hear that some of you have had bad experiences with the Smoking Popes. Personally I have met Josh at least 5 times, and have talked to him for hours, and he has always been very charming. I did receive confirmation from the Popes drummer that they have indeed broken up. Josh is now a born again Christian and only wants to sing about Jesus now.

Short Quiz:
Who can tell me (of all the die-hard Pope's fans) the name of the ORIGINAL Smoking Popes drummer? (The one who played on "Inoculator")

Yea, I know the name of the original drummer. It's Dave Martens formerly of Island Lake, IL. He and the rest of the guys used to practice in my basement. I enjoyed listening to them.

Damn...you're right! Anyone else besides me and his mother know that? I figured that you die-hards, who seem to think you know everything there is to know about the Smoking Popes, wouldn't know this little tid-bit of information. Think on this awhile: Why would they fail to mention that they had a previous drummer? The one they played all their earlier shows with? The one they made their first album with? And think on why it is that Dave left the band in the first place...

so is any of the material that was originally scheduled for release still going to come out? and what are they going to call it if does -- "smoking popes get back together"? according to http://www.columbia.edu/~bs251/smpopes/ there were actually two albums (one live) and an anthology scheduled for release...
