its a sad day for metal

[Venymous]

i just read some total shit...
Opeth is doin a US tour with Moonspell. for some FUCKED up reason, Devildriver was asked to fill the 3rd spot. all i have to say is WHAT THE FUCK! Nu-metal crap on a real metal tour. read on...

Maurizio Iacono, vocalist for the Canadian death metallers KATAKLYSM, has issued the following comment on the reports that they have lost one of the support slots on the upcoming OPETH tour to DEVILDRIVER, the new band fronted by ex-COAL CHAMBER singer Dez Fafara:

"Hey everyone... First I'd like to thank all the people that emailed us rooting for KATAKLYSM to be on the OPETH tour. I'm overwhelmed!

"But today is a sad day not only for KATAKLYSM, but for real metal in general... no disrespect intended towards DEVILDRIVER, 'coz I don't even know the guys personally except for the fact that there's an ex-COAL CHAMBER member... what I'm saying is shit happens, we lost the tour... so what, business is business... but to lose it to a band that comes from the Nu-metal era is what I don't get, that style is dead and now they are trying to make themselves look real by getting on real metal tours.

"If OPETH, KATAKLYSM and MOONSPELL would be on a Nu-metal tour we would all get tomatoes thrown at us, but we as real metalheads have to sit back and accept shit like this happening to our scene... anyways politics right?

"We will work something out for later next year and I hope to see all them REAL devil horns held high. Thanks to MOONSPELL for offering to share their bus with us and to the agency who booked this for fighting for us!!

...that piece of shit dez doesnt deserve to be anywhere near Opeth.

nevermore was supposed to be on that tour but they pulled out for some reason.


personally, i think it was pretty immature of Iacono as a professional musician to make those comments. granted, i agree with him 110%, but it was still pretty damn childish.



who wants to take bets on how long itll take opeth fans to boo devildriver off the stage?

 

[Venymous]

we should start a betting pool with the grand prize for the winner being...nothing at all!


ok maybe some rep

 

[ShadowOfFire]

I'm not even a big fan of Kataklysm but that was fucking awesome!

 

[charnee]

i'm for sure going to throw a little something at them while they're on stage

I don't really even know devildriver or heard they're stuff yet...but i was talking to my friends..and they've heard of them man..i was looking forward to seeing Kataklysm too..

 

[Yetti]

just make sure whatever you throw hits dez fafara in the head

 

[bodomite]

i will goto that show just to throw shit at the nu metal fuckers!!
HOW THE FUCK CAN THEY DO A TOUR WITH THESE BITCHES!??!!?

 

[Raistlin1980]

You people are full of prejudice and hate. I won't insult people from a band whose music i haven't listened to. And that guy's attitude is childish, i have to agree with yetti in that.
Sorry, just my opinion...

 

[Raistlin1980]

At first he says he doesn't want to disrespect them, but then he writes this in order to make people throw things at them:

"If OPETH, KATAKLYSM and MOONSPELL would be on a Nu-metal tour we would all get tomatoes thrown at us, but we as real metalheads have to sit back and accept shit like this happening to our scene"

If you do think that metalheads are better than nu-metal fans then you shouldn't behave in the same violent stupid way
*waits for bad rep to arrive*

Pfft, don't know about Moonspell, but Opeth sucks anyway. Good melodies and riffs, but it's repetitive as hell... and I don't know the word, but pedestrian comes to mind... or simple. I think they are sooo overrated.

Not at all dude.

If we as fans can insult the band and if we are allowed to think/say its gay, why cant professional musicians think/say it?

You mean to say, if you get a record deal, you have to repsect EVERY other band, . <--i know you didn't mean that, but thats what it all boils down to.


This isn't an attack at you chris, its just an opinion.

 

[Yetti]

it's the way hes saying it. he sounds like hes a 6 year old bitching and whining.

 

[Smitty]

The Opeth fans will surely boo them back to the depths of the septic tank from which they arose.
