Quote from: Pentagrimes on August 27, 2025, 01:54:06 PMI'd guess given the turnover lil Dani has people in reserve at all times. Having someone be able to just fly in and play a whole set at zero notice seems so. I've paid zero attention to them for most of the last 30 years but even I know it's him and a bunch of hired hands.

Unconnected - Paul, was the person you refer to with the Jesus longsleeve Moggie?Remember going down to Cork for the first time when Iw as about 16 for a gig and it seemed like everyone down there had that longsleeve :laugh:  I got the demos off either him or Quirkey
My buddie at the time was Mossy, I cant recall a moggie from back then! (Quirky definitely will im sure).But lots of heads in Cork had Cof merch after the first album came out.In our group alone in Carrigaline 5/6 had Cof shirts!
I remember Moggy claw,he was a friend of Brian's and was a filth fan,I just missed out on the principle lp as he had sold most of his stuff but I did manage to pick up some rare LPs from him at the time as he started getting big into rave music.
He had a nice fuck your god longsleeve but he wouldn't part with it.

Quote from: The Butcher on August 27, 2025, 12:40:51 PMRandy Blythe claimed his income was $200,000 dollars during that trial in Prague just for reference. Also didn't Devin Townsend say that he makes about $60,000 a year. So 150k would be a good shout. Anyway, more puns are needed  :abbath:



Fucking hell that is wild that Devin Townsend only gets 60k a year. Every now and then you get one of those eye-opening moments about just how little money there is for the artists bar the absolute top level acts. Even 200 grand seems miniscule for Randy Blythe. LoG are around that range of either being the biggest mid-level band or the smallest top tier band (in metal). I'd have thought he would be clearing a fair bit more given how big they were (are?) and how much press they get.

Devin doesn't like touring much and I suspect he looks after the people he hires, far better than most. His own salary is effectively coming from profit. 

Dino Cazeres in the mix now, couldn't make this up

Sarah Jezebel also coming out to talk about her experience (hint: it wasn't great).

"Too many fat girls in the band". I wonder of they said anything to Nick Barker about his weight?


Sarah has been making obtuse comments for years. Seems has been emboldened by this escapade

The real question is, does Dez drive the tour bus? We all know he has a license for a Big Truck.

Coal Chamber were managed by Sharon Osbourne, I imagine he learned a trick or two from her.

I didn't think it was Dez Farfara, I thought it may have been a nickname or something but it actually is that fuckin gimp  :laugh:

As with most acts managed by her, they were cut loose from the deal after about a year or so. She had the Smashing Pumpkins at the same time.

Probably learned what not to do😂

Devin Townsend fucked Luke Kenny from the Berzerker around the Berzerker were suppose to do something through him but then ended up with Earache after the way Devin treated them.

I read an interview with him before when he was wrapping up the Devin Townsend Project, he gave a fairly big severance to the band and crew, and a bigger cut of the profits on the last tour. Everyone that's worked for him seems to only have good things to say

Happened to be in London Halloween time pre covid and they were playing Cruelty in full so had to head along I reckon as good as you could get from CoF in a live environment Schoolcraft and the spinny guitarist clearly a cut above what they left with recently.

Went to an indoor thing in the Netherlands since where they were on the bill must have being having a gander here and there on social in the build up I guess that my interactions led me to get a notification some Zoe has invited you to like their page.

Who? I go check it out and shes apparently the new girl on keys in CoF,okay.

She certainly used this to push her band Catalyst Crime if you want a laugh check out their material.

In CoF I suppose shes serviceable without leaving much of an impression this thing shes the lead singer doesn't have a strong vocal and on some songs is even appearing to channel Dani vocals.

Funny it was her page I first read the recent drama to flood in.

New contract displayed forbids side projects maybe the stumbling block that stung the most.

Her new husband Pinhead was in the band for over a decade he knew the craic.

Issues with work environment taking its toll and labelling abuse is one thing, blaming the loss of a child is quite a dazzler to be thrown at you I'm sure.

Looked up Spinny guitar chap see what hes up to since he must have left over similar, Richard Shaw his new gig is now with Inglorious given Nathan James strikes me as the classic rock version of Dani Filth I'd be curious if terms are miles better than Filth.

QuoteI worked for them at a one off festival. I was covering for one of their Sound Engineers," the source said. "I was told they could only pay £150 a day which I thought was very weird considering their status, the fact they were headlining the festival and amount of experience they had. The normal day rate of a Sound Engineer is between £300 and £450 depending on the job and experience.

"The monitor engineer was a very inexperienced young lad too, I was having to tell him what to do with the very poor equipment they had given me to use.



"The band were very lovely and easy to get along with, but you could sense there was a very different balance within the band.

"I feel like I needed to share this with you, it's not just the band that's being exploited, it's the crew too, all too often crew get exploited in the industry, but seeing Dani [Filth] going on expensive holidays around the world with his girlfriend whilst the others are locked into a contract not being able to work with other artists is absolutely horrific.
