Craig Reynolds, a former drummer for Stray From The Path and the host of “The Downbeat” podcast, has made a social media comeback after a personal hiatus, as per theprp. Reynolds hasn’t said much about his personal life this year, despite the fact that his podcast interviews have continued to be released. Last week, he broke his silence by disclosing that he had to take a break from vlogging. Reynolds claims that while he was travelling to the UK for Christmas with his parents this past December, an ice storm passed through Nashville, Tennessee, wrecking the house he was renting.
I had high hopes for the beginning of this year to be fully back to vlogging. Had a lot on. And then actually some of the most stressful things of my life happened and it’s pushed it back. But here we are, end of April, and I am officially back. What happened? Well, obviously I’m in Nashville — living in Nashville — that’s been stressful. I did a vlog on that.
As of now, it’s less stressful. But what happened was I went back to see my parents in the UK at Christmas. While I was there, there was an ice storm in Nashville, and that basically took out my house. Completely took it out. [There was a] tree on it… I had 3 days left of the trip seeing my parents. Had to phone someone to come and rescue the cats. There was a tree in the roof. It was leaking and the landlord did nothing. Literally nothing until, well, they did nothing. They’ve still done nothing.
So just been dealing with that and I haven’t really — although that’s good vlogging stuff — I haven’t really sort of wanted to pick up a camera and be like, ‘Hey guys, look how shit everything is.’ So, that happened. So, we had to move. And as of like last week, um, we’ve moved to a different place.
As you can see, it’s a bit better. Uh, didn’t want to move and like get a place that was kind of nice, because expensive. Didn’t know how things were going to go. Got a slightly better place. Pretty cool. It’s more expensive, but we moved. I’m here for a good while, I think. So, it might as well live a little bit more comfortably. So, then that was that.
