It's a real shame I enjoyed Kasim's musical talents and they complimented the songs perfectly he'll be very hard to replace, but I trust Meat will choose somebody really good as a replacement. Imo this could be another factor that makes the next tour one not to miss.

Do you think that the news of Kasim leaving the NLE could be an explination of why we haven't heard of any tour news on the back of the new album?
No matter what anyone says, whoever takes over from Kasim as the role as musical director will be a tough one. I hope Steve Buslowe makes a return his stage energy is awsome. |

Ever since I became a Meat fan Kasim has been a part of the band. It feels like a part of the family is leaving. I'm sure Meat will find someone as many of you have pointed out, but I just don't seen why Kasim would choose to leave now with this spectcular album in the works. Not that its any of my business I'd love to see what he can do as a solo artist though.

actually there have been statements about a tour. Just recently Meat said in a german radio interview that he's gonna tour Germany and one of the stations will be cologne.

Kasim just posted this on his Journal:
"And, Yes.... I have left the ML camp. It was time. I'm so immersed in other projects right now that I just didn't have it in me to spend another year of my life on that particular tour bus. I wish him and the band the best of luck with the new record." http://kasimsulton.blogspot.com/ Sarah |

on the upside though, that means we're definitely gonna get a tour. Otherwise he wouldnt have felt the need to quit.

Awww im so saddened to hear this news, kasim has been there since the very first day I turned on to Meat ('94 ish) so he's been as much of an integral part of me being a Meat Fan as has Patti and John.
But I wish him nothing but the best with his other projects and im sure that if he puts in as much as what he has with NLE then he's sure to be a success in whatever he does x |

As with some of the others here, Kasim has been part of the band for as long as I can remember so I'm a little sad about this news. I will very much miss seeing Kas live with Meat & the NLE, each time I've seen Meat live I have greatly enjoyed watching him play and his interaction with the crowd made the experience even more fun.
I can understand the need for change though, so I wish him all the best for the future. Best of luck to his replacement too. |

Kasim was a fixture in the NLE for so very long.. he will be greatly missed, although I wish him all the best, in whatever the future holds for him.
I also welcome whomever Meat appoints as his new musicial director/ bass player, and look forward to what they bring to the band and to the shows. :) J. xo |

*cough*Steve Harris*cough*
Good luck to Kasim though, I remember hearing some of his solo stuff on the CHSIB tour and while not my particular cup of tea, he's clearly a talented musician! Could be an interesting tour, this... |

I think that the maybe upcoming live shows will be more awful, because it was Kasim who helped ML a lot on stage.
And I believe that the next Musical dirdector will be Mark. |

Sad news, but all the best for the future Kas.
Would love to see Steve Buslowe come back, but doubt that will happen. Also, I always thought John Golden was a great bassist. |

Hmm, interesting! Where have you heard that rumour? He did mention that he would be in the uk later this year, but assumed it was with Meat Loaf, but maybe thats the reason he is going there...

Good luck, Kasim. We'll miss you.
CC's husband, TJ Jablonski, plays bass. Maybe he could join the Neverland Express. He's a really cool guy and a great bass player. He already knows the band members so he'd fit right in. |
