Former Five Finger Death Punch guitarist Jason Hook spoke about his departure from the band nearly four years ago: “There’s no animosity there. There’s nothing there. It’s like everything. Over time, relationships and policies change. With extreme success, popularity, finances, it affects egos and personalities and roles and all that stuff.”
Hook added that it’s more difficult to be in a band than it is to be in a marriage: “Because with a marriage, if there’s a problem, you only have to work it out between the other party. In a band, you could be solid with this guy, but it’s still a mess with [one of the other guys]. It’s okay with him. It’s a mess with this guy. Of course, it’s way harder. It’s like having four wives.”
