ScarletMacaw Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I am disappointed. I might not have gone to the New York show, or even heard about it, if Jason had not been part of the band...what could this be about? Probably money, since that's what most things are about.

luvlz2 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 So I presume the Phil Collins band drummer slot will be his and that's why the abandonment of this new band? Good question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Bloggs Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Well that was disappointing news but with California Breed now history for Jason, maybe he could resurrect the world tour Jason Bonham's Led Zeppelin Experience were hinting at before the California Breed commitments took him away from that idea.

luvlz2 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Looks like Jason has been on tour with Sammy Hagar prior to his announcement that he would not be touring with California Breed.Jason posted this on his facebook page August 2nd:"I love those guys but it wasn't going to work for me. I will support them as I love the band I help create and Joey is great. Good luck guys xx JB" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luvlz2 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 California Breed totally bums me out now that Jason is not going to tour with them. I don't understand why Jason would drop something like this at all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcondo123 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 It's really a shame that Jason had to go, I personally don't think the group is going to be the same after Jason's departure. Don't get me wrong, Joey is a fantastic drummer, its just their styles are so different its not gonna be the same for me. I wonder if this is permanent or not, the website said Joey would be in only for the upcoming shows; but Jason sure made it sound like it was permanent...

luvlz2 Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 In an interview with Glenn Hughes on Rocktologist Hughes was asked if drummer Jason Bonham will return to the band at some point in the future. "No, Jason won't be returning," Glenn replied. "His other commitments were getting in the way of his California Breed schedule." He continued: "I have no disrespect for Jason, only tons of love. You know, I've known him ever since he was a little boy. It's just that he chose to work with other people when in fact he should be working with California Breed. And, you know, I'm a workaholic. When I'm working on an album or doing tours, I give it all, heart and soul. For some reason Jason didn't want to be part of that. -And it's OK, we've moved on." http://www.therocktologist.com/interview-with-glenn-hughes.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScarletMacaw Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 So now they've broken up altogether. This was posted a few hours ago on Facebook, unsigned: "The band is over...what a logo though right??" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvlz2 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 ^^ Andrew Watt elaborated on the California Breed split in a separate posting, writing: "To the California Breed fans here, I put everything I had into this band. All I can say is I was in it for the long haul." "I have a lot of new music for you guys." "[i am] going to be announcing my plans soon." "I cannot tell you how much I appreciate you supporting us, buying our music, coming to our shows." "This is not the end...It is truly the beginning." " cannot wait to continue the quest to bring rock 'n' roll back to the people that are hungry for it." "What an amazing learning experience for me here and introduction to an amazing world of people and fans that share love for the same thing." http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/california-breed-is-over/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Bloggs Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Shame it had to happen but the writing was on the wall when Jason left. It just wasn't the same and I didn't really follow the group all that much after that and I assume many didn't either. Andrew Watt has a huge future ahead of him though.

ScarletMacaw Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Here's what Glenn said today: "Good morning .. On June 2 Jason left California Breed. We had just gone on sale with tickets for the USA and Europe tours . I felt it necessary to commit to these shows, as we had recorded an album and we needed to play and promote our work. Joey C came in and played drums,and helped us out on tour , and I am supremely grateful for this . What I couldn't commit to was a second album. Cali Breed was Jason Andrew and myself , and there was no way moving forward without all 3 original members. Over the past 4 decades I have built a very loving and loyal fan base, where I know most of you , through touring , signing autographs for all , or on social networks, where I see your photographs or avatar , and answer you, in whatever you wish to ask or share with me . Those of you who have met me , or know me , know that I deeply care about LIFE... I am currently working on 3 projects , 2 musical & one movie ...I will give more details as I move forward . This is a loving ... And safe Place smile emoticon The Canvas of my LIFE is vast ...and I go ...where my spirit.. Leads me .. Big love to all my fans, friends and GOLDEN ones across our Planet ... In my world LOVE is the answer .. Remember this" He didn't want to make an album with Joey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
