Former Five Finger Death Punch bassist Matt Snell says he still loves his his ex-bandmates.
Snell, who now plays bass in Invidia, left the band in 2010 – but they didn’t announce his departure until 2011.
He tells Talk Toomey (via Blabbermouth): “The greatest thing about that band is that it just happened so quickly. I got to go around the world a bunch of times and play hundreds of shows and helped build and create what is today this huge and powerful band.
“There’s nothing but good memories from me. I love those guys. I don’t have any bad blood with any of those guys. I hope they’re doing well.”
Snell adds: ”I think people want there to be a problem. I think people want there to be some sort of drama there, and there isn’t a place for it.
“I hate to burst everyone’s bubble, but there just isn’t a problem, and there never was. They’re my brothers and I love them.”
Five Finger Death Punch will kick off a run of US and European dates with an appearance at Fort Myers For Rock Festival in Florida on April 30. They received the Soldiers Appreciation Award for their years of support for the US military earlier this month.
