I was trying to think of some puns for the AIC fiasco but the oul brain is on autopilot so close to Christmas.

Scumbags on all levels. The fact that they were eligible for such massive payouts in the first place is also mental.

Absolute shitbags. The figures are ridiculous. More have been released since - Slipknot received $9.7 million! Is that a million per member? Can't remember how many fucking gobshites are in that band. Korn got $5.3 million, probably all spent on bagpipes and shiny tracksuits.

If they're registered as a business their accountants/management would have pushed for it.

Plus cancellation on tours/major shows would have been taken onboard. Korn had that huge show booked with Faith No More in LA that would have had a million dollars at the gate.

The smart and sensible ones took care of the legit bills/crew/merch companies etc, and there was a few who gobbled up the cash.

And there would have been some who got the payouts via their management not knowing it was the grant payment too because let's face it: Musicians are kinda dumb🤣

Only hearing of this now but it's rather emblematic of the whole locust plague that was the covid years. Big fucking money washing racket from top to bottom and not a single cunt arrested or jailed for the outright corruption that it all was.

And the likes of us knocking about thinking a bit of government help was the decent thing for struggling small touring bands.

Fuck it I may as well just sit back and enjoy the puns
