we'll for all who heard that the Vines broke up ( I did ) they didn't. I was very happy to hear this. But new news has come up. here's what's going on



A STATEMENT FROM THE VINES' MANAGEMENT

"We are very relieved that Craig has received an
unconditional discharge in relation to charges of assault and malicious damage stemming from an incident at the Annandale Hotel in Sydney in May, when he allegedly kicked a photographer’s camera during a gig.

The last six months has been a very trying time for The Vines and those close to them. Craig was recently diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome, a neurobiological disorder which is a mild form of autism. People with AS are generally considered exceptionally intelligent (and often obsessively focus their attention to music or art), but have difficulty reading social situations and are often accused of being deliberately rude and antisocial. They also have difficulty coping with change and only find security in a familiar routine and environment.

The band has NOT broken up and Craig looks forward to doing what he loves and lives for - getting back to writing and recording music with The Vines. On behalf of Craig and the Vines, thank you to family, friends and fans for their continued support, understanding and compassion."

Shouldn´t it be called ARSCHberger´s syndrome ? coz Arsch means Ass / Bum in German ...

That explains his behaviour. I wish he didn't do that. I read in Spin that they haven't toured because of his behaviour live. Craig is awful live, have you ever seen him? I feel bad for his band mates who are making a living doing music. I like their stuff though.
