Here is the story on Joe, so plz if your just going to post what he said, just look up here, everyone can see it.
NEWS!
It looks like Joe got fired...=(

Here is his post:

First off, very typical. This is exactly what I expected from them. Try and make it look like I didn't want to be in the band. I was fired plain and simple; in fact there wasn't even a discussion about it they just dropped it on me. I told them I would never quit and they would have to fire me. They were trying to get me to quit and told my managers that I did. I called sam and said "why are you doing this?" and he said we don't want you to come back. I said I will not quit. The next day pete called for the first time and said "did (our managers) call you and tell you your out?" I said "no, were they supposed to?" he eventually said in that short conversation "your fired". I am insulted by the message on the front page of the site,(by the way, thats the first change to the site I've seen in at least a year!) it is completely false and out of line. I made no decision and am not taking a break. I will be working on getting a new job immediately. A break also means there's a chance to come back, and nothing could be farther from reality. I was fired and they have not said a word to me since. I would never ask to be back in (why would I want to after this?) and I never did in the past when I quit. "We'll miss having him on the road with us"... Right.

CHEVELLE'S STATEMENT ON THE DEPARTURE OF BASSIST JOE LOEFFLER
"We've spent 10 great years building Chevelle, but irreconcilable differences have led to an unfortunate parting of ways between Joe and the band. Chevelle will return to the road for a string of summer shows, to be followed by writing sessions for a new album. Thanks to all of our fans, friends and family for their continued love and support. We look forward to seeing all of you on tour. Adds Joe Loeffler, "This will be positive for me and my brothers. I'm looking forward to all of the new opportunities this will make available to me."

-Pete, Sam and Joe Loeffler


From Rollingstone.com
The holidays could be a bit tense at the Loeffler house this year. Brothers Pete (guitar, vocals), Joe (bass) and Sam (drums) founded Chevelle ten years ago, but after a recent blowout in Kansas City, the Chicago rock trio has become a duo, leaving youngest brother Joe behind.
"I love Joe -- I'll always love my brother -- and I'll do anything I can for him. But he hated to tour," Sam says. "He was an unhappy guy on the road . . . We wanted him to take some time off to figure out what he wanted to do, but he wasn't willing to do that. He said, 'The only way I'm staying home is if you fire me.' It was the hardest decision we ever had to make."

Pete and Sam enlisted former Filter bassist Geno Lenardo for their current run with Taproot behind Chevelle's breakthrough album, This Type of Thinking Could Do Us In, which debuted at Number Eight on the pop charts last September. The two brothers will begin recording a new album this fall.

"The way the band worked was, basically, I wrote all the music -- I always have, I always will," says Pete. "Aside from being the drummer, Sam's place in the band is the business side of it. He's always talking to management and the label. Joe was always the one who just kind of played bass. He did that very well -- he's a very talented bass player -- but I don't think he ever really felt a passion. He was a third member. The chemistry worked as long as it could, but the fighting just got too old."

Pete and Sam haven't spoken with Joe since, and, according to the drummer, the rest of the Loeffler family is staying out of it. "He basically said he doesn't want to talk to us right now, and we want to be respectful of that," Sam says. "But we don't know what's going to happen when it comes to Thanksgiving."

Before they face the family drama, Chevelle have a punk rock club to save. For the first time in six years, the band will play New York City's CBGB club on August 4th. Proceeds from the show will benefit the legendary punk club, which is facing closure amid financial difficulties.

"It's going to be full-on punk rock that night," Pete says. "We've played there two or three times, and, once you play CBGB, you never forget it. You can't walk out of that place and not feel changed."
