User:Cherrybrown99/The Bleeding Doves

The Bleeding Doves was a psychedelic hardcore punk jam band from New Paltz, New York. The band consisted of "Ronny Jaymz Mustaine", (a "mashup name" between Ronnie James Dio (of Dio) and Dave Mustaine of Megadeth) "Sid Harrison", (a "mashup name of Sid Vicious of the Sex Pistols and George Harrison of The Beatles) and "Psycho Harrison" (a "mashup" name of a psychotic person, and George Harrison.) The band was formed in March of 2009 and had a 1-month hiatus. The band broke up on January 24th, 2010.

Formation
The Bleeding Doves (originally "No!se !n The Arena") had done some recordings for an album that never came out. This, however was not considered the formation of the band; according to Sid, and Ronny. The band during the process of the two songs they had recorded, would later use these songs for an unreleased album, and was often a staple at live shows. Throughout the history of the band, it went through numerous name changes. The band originally broke up so that Sid Harrison could play in a short-lived band called "Hello Cleavland" with fellow band member Bloodhood. However once the band broke up, Sid brought No!se !n The Arena back, re-naming it "Bleeding Leather/Raging Infection", and changed the genre to heavy metal/death metal. However since Ronny Jaymz Mustaine did not like death metal, the band was re-named to a more punk rock sounding name, "The Velvet Lines" (based off a misheard lyric from rock group Dio's song Holy Diver), changing the genre to hardcore punk with some metal influence. The band was then re-named "The Bleeding Doves".

The hiring of Psycho Harrison
In September of 2009, Sid Harrison had met with an old middle school friend of his. When Sid found out that Psycho could play the guitar, he automatically added him into the band lineup. Psycho then became an active part of the band lineup, and helped contribute over 20 songs, which may be used by Koffee and the Harrisons.

The constant firing of Ronny
Throughout the half-year history of the band, frontman Ronny Jaymz Mustaine has been fired and re-hired numerous times. In July of 2009, Ronny was playing football with his friends when he was tackled by Sid, and came down hard on his right arm, resulting in a break. This happened to be the day before a free street show had been planned, but the show had to be canceled due to his injury. For the next month and a half, Ronny had his arm in a cast and wasn't able to play at gigs because it required too much physical activity, which made his band mates impatient. In September of 2009, Ronny was fired because he was "Not contributing to the band enough." However he was soon hired as band manager, a task which he was good at but the band found it difficult to work with a manager. At the end of October 2009, then-drummer Goliath had quit the band due to an argument, which resulted in Goliath signing a resignation form. Ronny was then re-hired as the band's frontman. A couple of times after that, Ronny was constantly hired, fired, and re-hired.

Breakup
On January 24th, 2010, Psycho and Sid decided to quit the Bleeding Doves so they could form a new band, "Koffee and the Harrisons", and bringing back former Bleeding Doves drummer Goliath. This left Ronny Jaymz Mustaine as the last original member of the band. But he too decided to quit because it would have been pointless to run a band that virtually no one's heard of and most of the original members have quit. However, when asked about his future as a musician, Ronny said he would like to keep singing, and maybe join another band.
