Up there with the latest Exodus cancellation, Holt's brother broke his arm in Italy so they pulled a Euro tour. That is the worse I've heard.

[Yung Led Zeppelin]

They owe ye nothing lads, whatever the reason for having to cancel. Life shit happens and musicians are people first and foremost.

Up there with the latest Exodus cancellation, Holt's brother broke his arm in Italy so they pulled a Euro tour. That is the worse I've heard.

I think the worst thing about that was Holt and his wife got the fans to stump up €60k to fund their trip, hotels etc. Crying poor mouth. All for a minor injury for the the brother.

I don't mind donating to those things when it's a worthy cause. Blaze Bayley for example had a triple by pass recently  and his missus refused donations, just asked people to buy merch. Holt really went down in my estimation, and to top it off he went to see Bruce Springsteen while he was over there. Must've been life or death for his brother.

Yes and no. The fans are effectively stakeholders. We're buying the tickets, so the least they can do is not bullshit us. Don't need the details but don't need to be treated like fucking idiots. Like Anthrax have done twice now "aww the prices are making this tour impossible" whinge whinge whinge when the reality is Charlie busy with Pantera and Ian the gimp is in 9 million other bands.

     That is truly incredible. Didn't know about the gofundme or the Springsteen which admittedly cracked me right up. Whoever paid into that 60k is a fuckin moron and Holt is a spa.

Also, to whoever said about they owe us nothing, they could just say they're not doing it but my guess is they need to spin these godawful excuses to claim back insurance on the tour.

I would also add you have people that travel far for shows, book hotels and time off work so bands can at least can be up front about what is going on.

Anyone remember a few years ago when Rotting Christ cancelled an entire tour that was suppose to come here and the excuse given was the tour was cancelled for esoteric reasons.

[Pagan Saviour]

Lol, I remember the Rotting Christ one alright.

[Paul keohane]

Ah here that Exodus one!   

[Thorn]

Esoteric reasons    ffs

[Slaughterday]

Not surprised at the Exodus one. Holt seems like an utter fucking mongo. His line of merch with 'Kill The Kardashians' on it tells you everything you need to know about him.

Regarding the Suffocation cancellation, it definitely just seems like they saw an out given that half the European tour is done and decided not to take the hit financially for the rest of the tour.

I booked a hotel and flight to see Lamb of God and Kreator in Scotland, which was money down the drain when Covid hit.

They rescheduled, I booked another flight and hotel, and they cancelled that gig while the rest of the tour went on. 

[Pagan Saviour]

Exactly! And you don't have the luxury of getting the fans to pay for it Holt Style!!!


All that Kill the Kardashians stuff is pure cringe.

[Don Gately]

Why would anyone want to kill the Kardashians, you don't have to watch it. I'm not totally sure what it's all about as I've never watched it but am vaguely aware of domd of it. I'm too cool to go down for that.

[open face surgery]

One of them wore a Slayer shirt so that was his response.
