Actually, Rodney didn't leave because of a disagreement, or because it wasn't his type of music, or anything else.

It was much in the same was as Brett with Creed. Rodney is filling on with the other band for a while. American Pearl still exists, and Rodney is still grouped as a member of American Pearl... he's just not going to be participating in the next album... I'm sure that he'll still tour with them when the album is released though, as, as mentioned before, DJ isn't going to be getting far, imo.

I imagine that they're starting the album over just because he isn't going to be around much for that recording... but he's still close enough that DJ practices down the hall from AP.

Sometimes bands are great, but one or more of the members is unhappy because that's not the kind of music/songs/etc. he/she wants to do. For example, my friend is the lead singer of Between the Ivory, and their CD sounds EXCELLENT-especially for amateurs in a shitty recording studio. But he doesn't really like doing such heavy stuff. So, it's not always about the fans. Sometimes you have to look out for yourself to be happy.

Lemme get the link... hold on a few while I did through my AP discussion
list archives... (verified... September 30th). The band that Rodney is with
is DJ Ashba, linked at http://www.djashba.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl. Sad
that this took place, as this band (DJ Ashba) doesn't look like it will get
far... their BB is a free and heavily flawed board called YaBB (Yet Another
Bulletin Board)... I ran it on my site for a while before going with a
custom-build.
I haven't been to the DJ site since he first went, but it looked to me like
another egomaniac singer... there was a BIO link on the main page, and when
you open it, all you get is the singer's bio... not even a mention of the
rest of the band. The main image on the front page was, you guessed it...
the singer.
The downer was that they were 80% done their new album when he left... so
they're starting from scratch last I heard
