TBH given all that's become clear about him in the last while, and now the huge negative publicity of dropping off the tour, I hope someone is keeping a close eye on him, especially given that video earlier this year......

Cowboy Dave rides again!

Day of Suffering off BATS, well the whole album really, is whopper.

Sad to see the state of Trey.

Hopefully someone's got him off to rehab and getting his mental health seen too. He's obviously on the spectrum (Missus clocked him as autistic from being in the room when I was watching a bunch of interviews)

Well... Mrs trey -  Trey's Ma, said on FB , (she is more or less seems to be his PR  personal manager on FB these days...)  that they cancelled because worried about political violence ater the elections, In a country where Dimebag Darrell got shot on stage and with all the guns knocking around, talk of civil war blah blah.. I guess its a valid concern.  Many of these florida bands properties got destroyed in the storms a few weeks ago so I guess existential threats are a daily reality for them. Also did a bit of math on this, and Id imagine one tour a year could pay the bills for the rest of the year for them (Trey), so cancelling a tour cant be a easy decision financially. one more point re: money MA, By sticking to newer material they dont have to pay Vincent any publishing or performance royalties.

It could all be bullsht to help with his privacy and actually be a mental health issue too or whatever.. if that is true then speculating and gossiping on the internet isnt gonna help him recover.

Re: I am morbid.. its a covers band.  Without Trey.. theres no unhinged "lava" or whatever he calls it. Its just some other dude playing his licks. And  as much as I love altars of madness and Iive been listening to it since 1992 when I saw Immortal Rites on headbangers ball and bought the album later that week, Formulas is my favourite release nowadays, its got the velocity, the trippy solos, the underground growl, the songwriting is top notch.

It would be great if Morbid angel played some more old tunes again, but saying that I like the way their set has pretty trippy, otherworldly athmosphere nowadays, watching I am morbid stuff online feels like gene simmons at a death metal kareoke

I'm a massive fan of some Tucker era MA,Formulas is a stone cold classic.But right now if I had to pick ,Id go see I Am Morbid all day long tbh.

If Trey wasn't fucked,they could just get the Domination line up back together and do a 30th anniversary tour!

[Eoin McLove]

30 fucking years... scary. I was in 1st year when it came out and remember being bamboozled by the solo in Where the Slime Live. I also remember hearing about slime colored limited edition disc, and being young and clueless, only getting into buying CDs at that stage after collecting tapes for a couple of years, I had no idea what it meant. Vinyl was some dusty old man shit to me back then 

[Paul keohane]

One of the best solos in metal!!,ha I remember the slime pack edition alright!😅

[Sworntothecans]

One of the lads would tape episodes of Headbanger's Ball for those of us who didn't have sky.

He'd mostly get tape the most generic stuff , but left the tape running on one of them and we ended up with a block of Into The Pit.

Think I got like 30 seconds into the God Of Emptiness video and that was it. Hooked!

Earache did a slime liquid filled vinyl earlier this year for Domination and Blessed.

That sounds like a huge load of crap TBH - they'd be better off just saying Trey's fucked, people would understand and everyone knows anyway! A headline band dropping off a tour two weeks before it's due to start without a VERY serious explanation is a huge deal. I'd imagine everyone else connected with the tour is spitting fire about the situation and I wouldn't be at all surprised if lawsuits have been fired off. Can you imagine the state of the tour organizers when they were told!? How much are they already out of pocket for deposits, buses, merch etc? That they seem to have pulled it out of the fire by getting probably the only replacement that would be accepted by (many) fans is in large part sheer good fortune - Vincent's wife has posted that he'll literally only be home for one night after returning from a couple of months in Europe with Terrorizer and Vltimas before heading off for this tour. Not sure what he's up to currently but I've also seen that Bill Hudson has an insane schedule at times (multiple bands) and can be abroad for months at a time.

I think Morbid/I Am Morbid still have the same manager, that Gunter Ford guy from the Earache doc so I say he was wheeling and dealing with the agent.

I think Vincent's wife is I Am Morbid's manager (and Vincent's too).
