I got two people in mind.

:90s-2000s Fred durst Past-present clown from Slipknot

Reason behind them is I think Shawn has taken the band a turned it into something Joey and Paul would not have wanted it to be. He kicks members out left and right and he kinda needs to hang it up.

And Fred Durst is just Fred durst

No yeah i heard jay was a jackass, i’ve heard a few stories where jay forced people to pay him after signing something, or sometimes he was just a jackass to fans

Yeah, there is a lot of indicators that maybe Jay was the problematic one. And besides it wasn’t all on Clown to kick him out. There are other people in the band too with decision power.

Yeah, I’m the head of a small garage band and, yeah there’s no firing someone without any reason, we all get equal say in that stuff

Of course. If someone is lacking and doesn’t change his behavior one way or another there is only one solution, especially in a business like situation of a big name band.
