Dominic Scott
From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.
Dominic "Dom" Scott was the guitarist of the rock band Keane. In 1995 he asked his friend Tim Rice-Oxley to form a band. They named the band "The Lotus Eaters". They invited Richard Hughes to play the drums.
In 1997 Tim asked to Dominic and Richard to let Tom Chaplin join the band. Dom and Rich firstly refused but then accepted.
He left in 2001, after the single "Wolf at the Door" because of musical differences with Tim. His exit was friendly. Keane wrote a message on their official page in November 14 2001 saying this:
{Simplified) "Sad news for us is that our guitarist Dom left the band and returned to his studies at LSE. We wish him all the best with that. Dom's departure give us a chance to direct our sound in new directions. The new songs reflect the love for electronic music. This inspired us to start writing songs. The sound is still completely Keane but we've captured a new level of energy." (Source)
Tim also said in an interview in Mexico: "Dom is a great fan of U2 so maybe we'll met in New York" (Because of U2's gig openings by Keane in 2005).
