Interpol Bassist Carlos D Quits the Band

Wauw, Interpol had like the coolest bass lines... Well at least Carlos D. played on the album. which i have a feeling it might be the last one:(

13 vears and nobody's heard of them? maybe its time for carlos to get a real job

who?

Interpol have been around since the early 2000's. They have put out 3 albums with rave results. They take the Joy Division sound and mix more shimmering guitars and evocative lyrics. They are nothing special live, but recorded make for great driving music.
Carlos D is a great bass player and it will take a lot to fill his shoes. Why they would tour with U2 is beyond me. Nothing U2 has done for over 20 years has been anything worth mention. Maybe this will get them some over 40 fans, ha ha.

To Gary Ban. If I was in a band that was in venue with U-2 (I'm not a U-2 fan either. They're too liberal) I'd consider that an excellent worthwile real job. Just my opinion.

I never heard of them. What type of music do they perform?

The music business is horrible. That bass player probably got a real job that pays real money and has a real future. Join the MILLIONS of talented people who were better musicians and better writers than U2 who play on weekends as a fun hobby. Tying your fate to four other musicians, and a blood sucking promotional machine is no path to security.

Unlike the rest of you, I actually know and like Interpol. It's a shame the bass player is leaving, but I'm sure they will be able to find another fine musician to replace him.

fuk em

its not that we are hipsters,per say. we just have better taste in music. kings of leon is a perfect example, i loved kings since their first ep holly roller novacane.then use somebody comes out and all the nickelback fans start to appreciate them. but because you commercial radio lovers dont listen to anything under the radar and only listen to music thats on the radio(afraid to be different from all your vanilla friends)yuo missed out on a band thats been putting out great music for years. its sad it like you chumps have to be told whats cool and what to like.nickelback,puddle of muddd,3 doors down,sum 41,creed,kid rock..,all sucky boring music. good music=radiohead,morning benders,zeus,franz ferdinand,interpol,my morning jacket,band of horses,spoon,the shins,modest mouse,wolf parade,sunset rubdown,handsome furs,arcade fire,coldplay,travis,doves,longwave,kings of leon,of montreal,death cab,wolfmother,white stripes...to name a few.if you a weed smoker trust me this is the best music for it.not radio boring run of the mill crap. music like i listed is deep and thought provoking for one. and it ages well unlike the limp bizkit and sugar ray you idiots were listening to back a few years ago. last time music was truly great on radio was the early to mid 80's. that era of music has aged well as well. but who cares you brain dead morons keep listening to radio and miss out and us cool people will keep listening to what we do. does it matter? i think you run of the mill average people are just jealous of us cool people,that have our own personalities. and by the way why does almost every show and commercial and the nfl channel play this good indie music?probably cuz its great and catchy, and the people creating these shows and commercials are artist with talent and a brain.
