apparently the singer's last show was at his DNA Lounge

Chrome and Cleopatra issued a statement that that guy was fired because he sucked anyway. Chrome assured fans it would not be an “AI record.”

The plan was apparently for Hout to record a guide vocal that would then be reskinned with the “fakeass robot A.I. Stiv Bators voice.”

there’s something extra disrespectful about a punk band lying about firing the guy they were planning on exploiting to train a horrid tool their record label insisted would make them more money

Go ahead and drop the bomb, you don’t love anyone
