“We chose to protect his privacy and the circumstances around his departure, even when he did nothing to be deserving of that protection.”

Yeah that explains why the band never brought his departure up. They really were doing him a solid even if he wasn’t deserving of it. This whole situation is crazy but more importantly I hope Brendan’s dad has a safe and healthy recovery

Me too! My son is nonverbal and had to go through chemo, eye removal, and the only thing that would calm him down in emergency situations, brain surgeries and everything was Turnstile songs and we were fortunate enough to meet the band and we got to meet Bill Yates at the Show and we were so stoked to meet him And he was so happy to meet my son and he was the most kind guy ever and we ended up running into him at a Show a week later and when I walked up to him, he said hi to me and I asked if he remembered me and the first thing he said was don’t ever ask me that your Rylan’s dad I’ll always remember you. And that happened to be the show where the police pepper sprayed somebody later and Brendan immediately wanted to make sure his parents were OK. When we got to meet him at the show the week prior Brendan wanted to make sure his parents were OK, getting to the stage. OK, he obviously has a very close relationship with his parents especially his dad and it just breaks my heart for Bill Yates and for Brendan. When I saw attempted murder I wasn’t surprised when I saw who it was it just hit me harder. I’m praying for Mr.Yates 🩵🙏

eye removal? 👀

u/Bobby56k Apr 02 '26

Yeah my son Rylan was diagnosed with eye cancer (retinoblastoma) when he was 4 and unfortunately had to have his eye removed then 6 rounds of chemo. Prior to that he had several brain surgeries. The only thing that would calm him down through it all was Turnstiles music. He’s non verbal but he just connects with their music. Franz & Daniel played “No Surprise” just for my son at soundcheck back in September. They all saw how he responded to the song and it was just a really really cool moment. Even more cool when right after Pat said “that’s a Rylan song now!” On the top of the setlist for the show they even wrote his name “Rylan’s Setlist” 🩵

I'm sorry to hear that man. I'm ignorant on the subject and wasn't sure if I read correctly. But that is an awesome story.

u/Bobby56k Apr 02 '26

Turnstile & the friends, family and partners they are surrounded with were the most sincere and genuine people, no exaggeration. My wife and I left the show saying “I think the Turnstile experience was somehow even better than our Make-A-Wish trip to Disney World” (for Rylan) - Brendan’s Dad was a big part of that feeling on the drive home and still feel when we think about how incredibly special of an experience that was for our son and our family.

“We have no language left for Brady." Very nice way of saying “fuck off forever”

u/mikhailitwithfire Apr 02 '26

Man, Imma start using that.

u/verschee Apr 02 '26

I would have gone with "eat shit and die"

u/DeliciousOwl9245 Apr 02 '26

I kind of gasped out loud when I read that. Really, really well said.

u/[deleted] Apr 02 '26

Or rather “if we see him we will be using violence”

u/Hesj Apr 02 '26

Not what that means but okay

u/[deleted] Apr 02 '26

I mean if I had an enemy I tried to reason with civilly that’s exactly the language I’d use when it was clear that violence was the only answer lol.

u/Ok_Initial9419 Apr 02 '26

Rock the fuck off forever.

u/Fun_Chemist_1073 Apr 02 '26

Hopefully they lock him up for a long long time. The next news article is going to be about him taking somebody's and/or his own life.

8

u/Chaiseski Apr 02 '26

Dude I'm scared of that, I alredy suspected Brady was going through a lot of mental issues because of what he lost (his role in the band) I mean he's back at home while they're touring the world. So I feel like this comment about him hurting himself can have some truth soon and that's so heartbreaking

1

u/Current-Roll6332 Apr 03 '26

Certainly seems to be heading in that direction.

u/Silver_Branch3034 Apr 02 '26

Imagine being in a stellar band on the cusp of an incredible run of albums / successes and fucking that up by being an overall salty shitty human being.

‘We have no language left’ hits harder than any ‘fuck off’ ever could imo.

u/veritas57 Apr 02 '26

Plenty of addicts don't go on to attempt to commit murder, so fuck him, honestly

They’re excusing him because they like his guitar skills. It’s so fucked up

u/nicdrumandbass Apr 03 '26

Who’s “they”? I’ve not seen one person online SA a nice thing about this dude in weeks

u/For_serious13 Apr 03 '26

There are Brady fans, most of them are on Instagram. I saw someone yesterday say turnstile was fucked up for firing Brady before getting him help because he wrote all the music.

2

u/Current-Roll6332 Apr 03 '26

Agreed....but if you've ever been close to someone with a serious drug problem it becomes more like "I get it".

4

u/mr_glide Apr 02 '26

This is what I'm feeling about it. Mental health is no joke, and should be taken seriously and sensitively, but when violence enters the equation, dangerous people must have access to the source of their animosity removed, and if necessary, they should be confined

u/declemson Apr 03 '26

Guys got 2 choices. Get clean or die. Been sober 20 years. I've heard some stories worse than this. And they got their act together.

4

u/HeyIDoubtIt Apr 02 '26

WORD.

I'm so tired of people excusing this cunt's behavior because "he's an addict."

No one made him put a fucking needle in his arm, cry me a river. Miss me with that shit.

1

u/ArtnostiC Apr 03 '26 edited Apr 03 '26

Yeah it's honestly disrespectful for people to assume it was only the drugs that did this. I've known plenty of addicts myself throughout my entire life and have always sympathized with their struggles. Not a single one of them has ever attempted to murder someone.

u/hokahey23 Apr 02 '26

He was desperate for them to give him attention with his online bullshit. They wisely ignored him but when that didn’t work, he made it physical. I’d be shocked if he doesn’t have borderline personality disorder. Unfortunately I’m all too familiar with this type of behavior.

And absolutely wild that Brendan’s dad had to have surgery on his legs.

15

u/Free-Type Apr 02 '26

My mom is borderline and I had the same thought. 

My mom pushed me and pushed me my whole life and I finally stopped putting up with it. It’s hard to watch someone you love destroy themselves. I hope Brendan is receiving tons of love and support. I hope his family finally feels safe now that Brady is in custody.

u/hokahey23 Apr 02 '26

I’m sorry you had to deal with that. I know how hard it is.

u/Alarming_Whole9139 Apr 02 '26

LMAO WTF is going on in the comment section of that article.... seems like a sane base of people who go to lambgoat for news

u/ekuadam Apr 02 '26

This your first time with lambgoat comments section? It’s been like that for around 25 years.

u/sparrow915 Apr 02 '26

There are some wild accusations in there

13

u/Mindless_Turnover976 Apr 02 '26

The part about Brady being a fed and this being a distraction from Iran and Epstein are hilarious, how does this guy think this could possibly be a big enough story to distract from either of those? No offense but that guy must live in a really punkrock focused bubble if he thinks that. If it a conspiracy surely a bigger name like Taylor Swift would be targeted?

u/Imhappy_hopeurhappy2 Apr 02 '26

They’re just trolling, it’s clearly not serious.

u/uhWHAThamburglur Apr 02 '26

The Lambgoat podcast is called Vanflip. There's lore for that. It's the worst (in an entertaining way, sometimes)

23

u/dontflexonme Apr 02 '26

Growing up and being on the road from the start with Brady definitely hurts Brendan, but the moment you hurt family is a different discussion.

I know it’s on his mind but I do hope Brendan leaves revenge at the hands of the law.

26

u/the4mechanix Apr 02 '26

Resorting to violence is never really justified, but especially to elder people (Brendan's dad being 79 years old!) Honestly, what the hell?

Here's Brendan saying "I love you dad!" during Glow On's release show

It’s clear how much he cares about him, and his dad seems incredibly supportive. This just sucks all around. Hoping he makes a full and speedy recovery.

23

u/Extension_Addition57 Apr 02 '26

Thats fucking sickening. Hoping Brendan's dad has a successful recovery

18

u/Puzzleheaded_Suit_67 Apr 02 '26

That's all really really sad

73

u/bigtittytony Apr 02 '26

Saying they have no language left for him is cold as fuck but MAN does he deserve it. You know it killed them to have to even write that, but he’s clearly dead to them now if he wasn’t already.

u/mettaworldpolice Apr 02 '26

u/itsalark- Apr 03 '26

I put my hand on you? Not worth trying to save?

u/alpha_keni_01 Apr 02 '26

That’s what happens when you try and run over someone’s dad. Shit gets pretty cold

12

u/bigtittytony Apr 02 '26

Oh yeah. If you ask me they should each get one free shot at Brady to just fucking deck him across the face as hard as possible lmao

16

u/hokahey23 Apr 02 '26

I will forever say “I have no language left” for someone as a way to tell them to fuck off.

12

u/Scott_Dee89 Apr 02 '26

Some of the comments on that article 🤯 I know trolls be trolling but JFC!!!

u/Zadok0552 Apr 02 '26

I am a new fan. I feel horribly for all concerned. What great musicians who present an energetic and fun show! Peace to each and every one of you! May Brendan’s father heal quickly and thoroughly. Thanks to the artists for soldiering on despite all this.

u/Poems_And_Money Apr 02 '26

God damn the comments on that article are crazy

1

u/ForeverJamon Apr 03 '26

Yeah super crazy

16

u/Someguybri Apr 02 '26

The one thing I think Brady was telling the truth about is that he was kicked out for being a drug addict. I think the guy was just too far gone mentally. Perhaps drugs fueled that, but everything we’ve seen displayed from Brady since he publicly went to war on Turnstile at the start of 2026 would seem to indicate he has some serious mental health issues and some demons. I think it goes beyond the drugs.

9

u/Sufficient-Lack126 Apr 02 '26

he was addicted to doing whippits. that’s all that needs to be said

16

u/Someguybri Apr 02 '26

He looks like a straight meth head. Ice picks all over his face. His bottom teeth already becoming peg shaped. It’s very noticeable in that shot from the S.E.T. music video that everyone keeps using as a thumbnail for their videos discussing him and for articles about him. He even had marks in some of the pics when he was still in Turnstile. Looks very old and beat up already despite being younger than the rest of the original members. People just talk about the whip it stuff because he had pics with a can visible.

u/el_payaso_mas_chulo Apr 02 '26

I was too! I thought I remember reading that he was older than Brendan/ the oldest one.

3

u/Someguybri Apr 03 '26

No, he just looks the oldest. I think he always has. Maybe not when they were kids, but he has as long as I’ve known who the band was. And I think there was even a Brendan interview around time and space or maybe with the whole band where they discussed their relationship. And how he met Brady when they were kids and he was a couple years/grades below him.

u/MojoPin14 Apr 02 '26

From riffs to ruin. Damn.

u/HearTheCroup Apr 02 '26

This is CRAZY

u/kurtchella Apr 02 '26

I hope Brendan's dad will be okay :( I also hope there's a GoFundMe or something similarly to help him out. I can only imagine the frustration Brendan is going through and I hope he's gonna be ok, too </3

23

u/godofmids Apr 02 '26

You think they need a gofundme?

4

u/BlenderBluid Apr 02 '26

As sad as it is, the discrepancy between current healthcare cost and how much professional artists make when they’re not megastars might legitimately call for a gofundme.

3

u/zachmcmahoncomedy Apr 02 '26

They don’t need one, my wife works in royalties and taco bell paid them 500k for their music in the commercial.

8

u/el_payaso_mas_chulo Apr 02 '26

split amongst management, the band, and after taxes? Yeah maybe they each took home 50K, maybe.

2

u/zachmcmahoncomedy Apr 02 '26

Right, but that on top of touring, merch, etc. on top of that, Coachella 2nd line performers get 6 figures per show. They’re millionaires, still a terrible tragedy regardless

3

u/Civil-Device-2281 Apr 02 '26

Ive been off for awhile wtf happened?

14

u/PopcornSutton1994 Apr 02 '26

Brady ran Brendan’s dad over with his car and caught a second degree murder charge a couple days ago

1

u/Civil-Device-2281 Apr 02 '26

Oh thats wild!! What a crazy world 😩

2

u/Hallichretsam Apr 03 '26

What a POS. Brendan's sister and 3 yo nephew were there too and it sounds like his dad was also trying to protect them.

2

u/Defiant-Fix2870 Apr 03 '26

The Brady apologists really bother me. “He just ran over his foot.” Um no, he had an open leg fracture which can kill even a younger person. Maybe it’s just trolling but yuck—there’s some seriously gross people in the hardcore community. Sprinkled in either the fantastic people of course.

You’re right, they definitely should have enabled him instead. That usually works.

Crazy of you to blame this on Turnstile.

15

u/superredux22 Apr 02 '26

Dude that all becomes null and void when you try killing someone’s dad. The band do acknowledge that he had problems and they tried to help him which clearly didn’t work. At some point you have to make the tough decision to either help yourself or continue to help someone who doesn’t want it and drain yourself emotionally. Fuck Brady

12

u/veritas57 Apr 02 '26

You have no idea if they tried to help him or not. I can’t believe you’re blaming this on them. You thought this was an April fools joke too so clearly you have 0 info

-10

u/Chaiseski Apr 02 '26

Yes, before the official file was shown

3

u/hallowedcanoe Apr 03 '26

What file? You think Brady was just totally okay and then suddenly snapped? They’ve probably BEEN trying to help him, and had to part ways when it became too much.

u/JohnButterfieldM1 Apr 03 '26

Lol no. Mostly because they treated him way better than his piece of human shit ass deserved to be treated. Fuck Brady and you too for defending him. Enjoy your new prison pen pal.

u/Defiant-Fix2870 Apr 03 '26

Sounds like you don’t think Brandon’s dad mattered, and that you are very young. Do you also ask women who are raped “what are you wearing?” Fuck off with the victim blaming.
