Well, that was fast. From their myspace... (edited to make easier to read since it's a book, I also bolded the important parts)
BRAIN DRILL HAS BROKEN UP, HERE IS WHY...
SO BEFORE ALL OF YOU GET PISSED I NEED YOU ALL TO CLEARLY READ THIS AND I ( DYLAN) HOPE EVERYONE CAN UNDERSTAND WHERE I’M
COMING FROM.
3 of the 4 members of brain drill being steve, marco and jeff all have huge weed smoking habbits if you hadn’t already noticed. I dylan do not
and couln’t be more aggainst smoking weed i don’t have a problem if you do it but just be smart about it. Before we left for this tour with the
black dahlia murder and animosity I told them a million times not to
bring weed, pipes or papers with them in the van because we are literally driving across the country and the last thing we need is to get
pulled over and arrested for posession of marijuana. The laws in california are nothing compared to the laws in other states. And of
course they don’t listen to a word i say and go ahead and bring pipes weed, papers and jeff even brought an ounce of mushrooms. Sure
enough we get pulled over rite outside of salt lake city utah. Emediatley after the 3 of them had just smoked a blunt. So needless to say the car
completely smelled like weed. So the cop comes up to the window and the first thing he says is " i smell pot", so sure enough they take us out
of the car and they completely search the entire van. They tear everyhting apart and even use a k-9 dog to sniff out everything. Sure
enough they find all of marco steve and jeffs weed, they find 6 pipes and they even find jeffs ounce of mushrooms. At that point i was
convinced that we were going to jail but for whatever reason they let us go. After we pulled away i (dylan) told them " from now on the rule of
the band is to not ever bring weed pipes or other illegal drugs into the van and also not to smoke inside the van" jeffs response was " i don’t
think thats gonna happen bro" so sure enough they neglected to listen to me and the next day there was more weed pipes and smoking
accessories in the van. So we then get pulled over another 4 times before we make it to our first show. Miracualously we didn’t get
searched again. SO we play the tour with bdm and we had an awesome time. Our last show was supposed to be in buffalo new york. Keep in
mind they all still have weed and pipes in the van. So we start driving and soon we see a sign for canada, I asked everyone it looks llike we
are headed for canada are you guys sure we shouldn’t stop and turn around??? jeffs response was " no it would say it on the gps if we were
headed there" i even took a wrong turn and as we were looking for the freeway i asked again "are you sure we are going the rite way?? the
sign says canada strate ahead" no one answered me so i continued to drive. Sure enough we get to the canadian border after i had said i have
a feeling we are going to canada. Sure enough they ask us for our passports i said we only have our id’s. We show the guy our id’s he then
writes us a ticket and makes us pull over to the side. The guy said " since you guys don’t have passports we are going to have to search
yuor vehicle". sure enough they find marco jeff’s and steves weed. For whatever reason steve and jeff start to flip out on the border patrol
cops and start cursing and saying "this is bullshit, this is the first and last time i’m ever coming to canada" etc. The cops asked " why are you
guys making this such a big deal??" they responded "because this is bullshit" etc. The cop then responded " well since you think it’s bullshit
we are now going to give all of you FULL BODY CAVITY SEARCHES". So I was the first one to get searched. They completely stripped me naked
had me lift my ballsack up so they could check underneath it, and then they had me bend over and spread my asscheaks apart so they could
look inside my asshole. After they finished searching all of us needless to say we were never going to make it to the buffalo show in time. All of
this shit could have been prevented if they had just listened to me when i said dont bring weed and pipes in the van. I had done nothing wrong
but becuase people in the van didn’t listen to me i was stripped naked and had to go through the most humiliatiing experience of my life. Since
we couldn’t make it to that show we figured we would just drive to tinley park. At this point i am so mad i thought to myself " i can either beet the
shit out of all of them , scream my head off at them or just keep calm and quiet". I figured i would be mature and keep quiet. After we
checked into the hotel room they told me " we are going to the promoters house" they didn’t say they we going to go set up and get
ready for the show they just said "we are going to the promoters house" So i sat there and waited. My phone had died so i figured they
were going to just come pick me up at the hotle when it was time to play the show. Sure enough several hours go by and finally by 1:am they
show up to the room grap there stuff hop into the van and drive off. They had completelty desserted me in chicago with no way of getting
home. I was lucky enough to stop them so i could get a small amount of cash so that i could atleast take a taxi to the airport. It was a 309 dolar
flight one way from chicago back to san jose california but i had no choice. So after all of this happend none of them bother to apolagize
even once the entire trip after i hap warend them several times about the consequences of keeping weed in the van and none of them
listened. I am sorry but being stripped naked and having you scrotum and butthole spread open for doing nothing wrong is where i draw the
line. The ironic thing is that all of them acted like it was my fault that all of that shit happened. So after they all got home i told them " i am
willing to talk if you guys have something to say" no one replied , so i said " then are you guys done??" and they said " yes" so as of now I am
the only one left in brain drill. I hope to some day atleast do one last recording but for now its all over.

Meanwhile, bassist Jeff Hughell responded:
"Well, Dylan you left out many facts in this attack on us. The fact that at the border I was totally respectful to the officers and took full
responsibility for the seeds that were in the ash tray which is all we had on us, also you had a big bag of illegal fireworks and that was not
allowed in Canada. They did not arrest us or give any citation, we probably would have made it to Buffalo just in time to play if you had
just given up your fireworks but you wanted to keep them and go back to the US.
You then took $1000 dollars right there at the border and would not talk to us. Over 24 hours later I tried to ask if you were going to play the
show in Tinley Park, if you just wanted to go home or what you wanted to do. You would not respond, so we left to go to the promoter's house.
You texted Steve that you would not be playing the next two nights because we had weed in the van, which we didn't.
And you might not know it but we found your piece of paper on the desk with the number for Amtrak. Finding that, you not talking to us, then
texting us saying you would not play, what the fuck were we to think? We played the show in Tinley Park without you because you said you
wouldn't play. We talked to many cool people that had driven 2 hours just to see us play. We did our best and they appreciated it.
We then went back to the hotel to get our things and spend the night at the promoter's house. Again you ignored us refusing to talk to anyone
until we began to drive away. You came out to the van drunk and kept saying ‘you guys are leaving me.’ I asked you to get in the van and
come with us 4 times. You wouldn't so we gave you an extra $200 to help out with the plane even though you had already taken $1000.
Shit happens Dylan. People should know the truth. By the way it's my van, not the band's."

HAHAHAHAHAHA...good fucking lord...I do feel bad for the guy that this happened, but I can't stop laughing at the fact that he went into detail about lifting up his ball sack and all that jazz. I believe he could hold himself partially to blame for getting to the Canadian border after suspecting he was going the wrong way though. If you've got a suspicion that strong you should probably act on it and pull over. Fuckin' a.
[Mar 20,2008 4:06am - thegreatspaldino ""]
holy shit... if it was that embarassing, why go into to such detail? man, that blows ass.

Do you mean Insidious Discrepancy?

that was almost a bad grammar overload. there is smoke coming out of my ears.

double spaced would have been better. what a fag. he was probably bitching and moaning alot more than he says and they got sick of him
[Mar 20,2008 11:11am - intricateprocess ""]
I just read this soap opera on lambgoat. Another member of the band issued a statement as well...........pretty much saying totally different shit.
[Mar 20,2008 11:16am - brian_dc ""]
oh man...link to other statement?
[Mar 20,2008 12:32pm - BSV ""]
they got pulled over 5 times and never lost the weed??? kudos!
good to know you DEFINATELY need a passport to Canada now.

DRAMA

I'm going to say that the Jeff dude completely pwnt the Dylan kid.
Also the Jeff dude's argument comes off better due to his far superior grammar.
[Mar 20,2008 1:43pm - corpus_colostomy ""]
this whole drama thing is great. kills off the weak seeds..
[Mar 20,2008 2:28pm - BSV ""]
It's kinda funny seeing bands you dig, completely fall apart....on the internet...over weed.
[Mar 20,2008 2:33pm - ihmgnoti ""]
what a bunch of retards..
i toured the us twice with shitloads of weed on me, never even got pulled over once. they must've drove like complete idiots.
i even went through border checks near mexico with weed...they ran dogs around the vehicle....didn't hit on anything.

People who gamble too much and waste their money destroy bands, assholes who sleep with thier bandmates girlfriends/boyfriends destroy bands. But lets be serious, weed does not destroy bands. thats a fuckin cop out.

Yeah, the z at the end of "bandz" is a clear indication that he was joking.
[Mar 20,2008 5:07pm - Blue ""]
yeah, dont take nick seriously.
but why do bands on tour have to be so stupid about shit like that. mushrooms on tour? thats a little much. theres a way to tour with weed, and thats not it. its all about being stealth, kids.

[Mar 20,2008 5:29pm - brad weymouth ""]
you should try touring, or just doing a weekend with Mark,Nick and Gillis. 3 raging alcoholics at the time(2004)... Nick was eating the bass cabinet and doing somersaults in the back of the van. pissing in bottles, spilling said bottles. From NYC to Providence our cd player broke and played only Achilles Last Stand by Zeppelin. IT WOULDNT SHUT OFF. that was rough. we stopped at the big McDonalds rest area in CT. Nick was covered in woodchips,blood and beer and went up to the counter, ordered a MCDLT, explaining to the girl that he just got out of a coma. She believed him, but couldn't do the MCDLT so he got 3 Macs,3 fries and an apple pie. He smooshed it all up and ate it with aspoon out of a cup....i still gag when thinking about it
