Anybody seen this about Machine Head support tour canceled last fall?

Apparently the headman of Machine Head wrote about Bodom:
For a band, it’s broken down a bit different. There are of course the diehard supporters. They’re first and foremost. There also exists a large group of “I’m-not-really-sure-if-they-are-fans-or-not,” and last and certainly least, there’s the people whose sole purpose is to troll your page. Like, I don’t know… let’s say the Children Of Bodom “Hate Crew” that has been out in full force in light of the US tour being re-scheduled. It’s typical shit talking, albeit a ton of it to the actual Machine Head fans saying ‘how much better Bodom are than Machine Head’ and how ‘Bodom should’ve been headlining over Machine Head’, and “fuck Machine Head”.
However, most people usually need the motivation to act like fools and Alexi’s little bitch-ass response certainly got the “Hate Crew” fired up.
Hate Crew?… pffffft!… more like “Alexi-ain’t-that-Great-Crew!”, more like, “bought-a-ticket-too-Late-Crew!”, more like, “It’s-not-my-fault-you’re-a-virgin-and-can’t-get-a-Date-Crew”!!
Alexi's original message to us was the following, and he wrote is because Machine Head canceled the tour because Bodom fans said Machine Head doesn't deserve to be headlining a tour with Bodom
I can't even remember writing that... maybe it was on facebook, where the masses are?
"I will not go into details on why or what happened, but I need you, my friends, to know that this had nothing to do with me or Children Of Bodom. But hey, you know what? Shit fuckin' happens, life goes on, and at least now we have an extra month and a half to write new COB shit. So, instead of focusing on the negative, I'm gonna start to write music this very second and it will be some angry shit."

What a fucking lame bitch-ass that Machine Head guy is. Quit whining and write some good music, then maybe you wouldn't need to be bitter over not having a fan crew yourself, little bitch fuck, bet you were scared to realize the crowd is more impressed with Bodom.
Yeah, Machine Head is bullshit and why the fuck would Bodom warm up for them? Maybe they could've in '98. This would've been a mad stupid tour. If he thinks it's "acting like fool" saying the truth then he's living in denial of reality. Good thing Bodom focused on writing the new album instead. We've not moved into a time when Bodom should go down and warm up for worthless bands, we've come to a time when Slayer should warm up for Bodom.
Not saying Bodom is perfect, they need to take certain songs out of their live set, fix the vocals and start writing stunning albums again.
Pretty sure the Laiho-Hypocrisy tour cancelled because Hypocrisy fans didn't want a 'pop star' to interfere with their pure true metal. I know cos I studied their message board back then and that's what they said. The chemistry of the supporting and headlining bands' fans needs to work, it has to be accepted one is 'above' the other.
