By Andy Doerschuk Published June 22, 2010



Suddenly news about the world’s most famous drumming son, Jay Weinberg, is all over the place. Today we heard that he has accepted the drum chair with the NYC hardcore outfit Madball. Expect al helll to break loose.

Singer Freddy Cricien said, “I'm very excited to have Jay on board. Regardless of his pedigree, he had to try out like anyone else. He proved that he's a natural!”

To which Weinberg added, “Having grown up as a huge fan of hardcore and the New York scene, it's an honor to play with the most talented individuals that this genre has to offer!”

Get this — even though Madball hasn’t yet recorded a note with Weinberg, the band insists that it will have anew release available in September, 2010. Call Guinness.

Bruce Springsteen's one-time drummer has been sacked from his new band.
Jay Weinberg, 20, who briefly replaced his dad Max Weinberg in The Boss' E Street Band last year, has been kicked out off heavy metal act Madball.
A statement from frontman Freddy Cricien reads, "I'm letting Jay go... because I just feel he doesn't represent this band well on a character level. It would go against my own code of ethics to keep him around.
"(I'm) not saying he's a bad drummer... but the reality is he has a lot to learn about paying dues, and about life in general... I'm not sure that he'll ever be built for this particular lifestyle. I wish him the best of luck."
Cricien plans to replace the drummer for the remainder of Madball's North American tour and upcoming European tour with Sick of It All.
