Ah, sorry, he is the lead singer of Brand New and John Nolan's bff. And he actually used to be in TBS before Adam joined. They're actually a really good band, it's unfortunate Jesse's such a dick. Jesse also had drama with John back when John was in TBS (John slept with Jesse's girlfriend, there are some songs about that, too). I love my Long Island bands for their drama, haha.
It's so weird to me that most Panic and MCR fans are not upset about people being kicked out of the bands. With TBS, people are always going to be like "GET JOHN BACK!" or, now, "GET FRED BACK!" I still think Brent and Matt got kind of screwed. Seriously, I am so full of unpopular bandom opinions. But yeah, I guess those bands just don't have drama like TBS! Which is weird since for four years TBS was essentially drama-free and I was kind of getting used to it! When Fred quit I was crushed, because now they'll just be forever known as that band that everyone quits, there's no getting around it, but then in an interview a few weeks later Adam said something like "We're Taking Back Sunday, this is just how we do things" and it made me feel better. Some bands just aren't made to be peaceful and drama-free. And actually I think TBS make better music when Adam has something to be super bitter and angry about, anyway.
