I'm a little late to comment but such stupidity must be corrected. Anneke formed a band with her husband to stay closer to her family. Which mattered more to her than The Gathering. She sacrificed success by leaving, instead of trying to earn more moeny by staying.
omg how about overreacting? she's been in the gathering for 13 years!! that's a very long time. You make it sound like she's made quick money and then left.
Yeah, it's nice... but it'd be even nicer if those greedy vocalists could stick with the band that's earned their success and fame instead of breaking loose in order to increase their share of the record sale profits... It's a damn shame when Art and Capitalism collide. Don't think I'm a Commy, I like Art as well as Capitalism, but they just don't go together...
