As previously reported, recent rumors seemed to suggest that Ivan Moody (Five Finger Death Punch) was planning to reunite with Motograter. However, he has since disputed those claims. Despite this, the frontman did decide to purchase the Motograter trademarks so they can’t be “abused or misused.”
Moody said the following in a deleted post:
“Through the years I’ve watched, the last two decades I’ve watched that project whittle out into dust on a memory. And it hurt. And knowing that there was so much involved with that and the way that there was so much potential and it was X’d out.”
“When [Noah “Shark” Robertson (Motograter drummer) and I] started talking, it became very evident to me that there was a lot of people in play. And there was a lot of crap, man. So I decided to buy it. And that’s what I did. I bought the trademark for Motograter and the Machine. And I patented it, the whole spiel. That way, nobody could take it anymore and it couldn’t be abused or misused.”
He also blasted former Motograter member Michael “The Kidd” Stewart for spurring the rumors:
“First and foremost, to Michael ‘The Kidd’ Stewart, you bottom-feeding bubbleheaded boob. How dare you step on my toes, spreading rumors and causing commotion. I was so pissed off when I read all that man. This Michael fucking Stewart guy. Who the fuck do you think you are dude? Fucking peon.”
