@redgrace thats weird, cause i was there and they didnt say anything about that:(

i am a super skillet fan & i was there the whole time ,

i think it was supposed to be his last show but then he stayed because of some reason...

[redgrace21]

@Blaablaablogger Yeah, I didn't hear them say anything about it either, but I was reading something later and it listed March 20 as his last day with the band. But I also heard that he left, and then they brought him back in to train the new guy, so he played a few more shows (the first guy they got didn't work out, so I think they had Ben fill in for a bit while they found a new guy and then had Ben train him). But I don't know if that was before or after this show...

[Blaablaablogger]

was it really ben's last show?

[redgrace21]

@Blaablaablogger To my knowledge it was, but I'm not positive.

Skillet isn't the same without Ben..... :'(

[redgrace21]

@mpw19962001 I agree. When I think of Skillet, Ben's face always pops into my head half a second before John's, Korey's and Jen's. :(

It definitely will be interesting to see them at Spirit West Coast with whoever they've found to take his spot...

I think Seth's gonna be great. He's new, but the guy rocks.

@MrDavidhbortz Nothing could be done to keep him, he wanted to "start a new chapter in his life" as a record producer, he owns his own studio in Kenosha, WI. The new guy that they have, Seth Morrison, is just as good as Ben was though, I've known him for a while before he joined Skillet, real classy guy

[DeadCamelInc]

@redgrace21 this wasn't his last show but it was suppose to be, he did come back on the avalanche tour for a little bit but not that long

[Eton911]

Do they have Ben anymore??

[MrDavidhbortz]

doesnt matter, they shouldve done what they could to keep BEN
