LACUNA COIL Tour Cancellation: The Official Statement

[loudsilence]

LACUNA COIL have officially dropped off the forthcoming North American tour with OPETH and PARADISE LOST.

The following is an official statement from the group's label, Century Media Records, regarding the cancellation:

"Italy's LACUNA COIL will regretfully be unable to participate on the upcoming '4 Absent Friends' tour with OPETH, PARADISE LOST, and TAPPING THE VEIN due to the untimely processing of their immigration paperwork, which has effected many touring bands from abroad since September 11th, 2001.

"LACUNA COIL are making every effort to return to North America as soon as possible to promote their album, 'Comalies', and are actively seeking another touring option for early spring/early summer."

[Immortality]

Well shit.

 

[Sonnenritter]

Blah. I just read that at Digital Metal. LC was one of the big reasons I was going. I still might go, but I doubt it. No sense in driving that far to see just Opeth. Paradise Lost and Tapping The Vein aren't my... thing.

 

[OneFootBlaster]

lets hope they dont get a lame replacement- longer set for Opeth!!!!

 

[xenophobe]

MUCH SUCKAGE!

That's why I wanted to see Opeth.

 

[Spike]

Wow... that's pretty fucked up.... not that I care I suppose... they never woulda made it to Australia with Opeth anyways....

 

[Schraiber]

Damnit! I hope they get replaced by someone good, at least. If they don't, major carnage will take place...

[MetalManCPA]

I wanted to see Lacuna Coil, but all I need is Opeth

 

[Parasite]

It'd be nice if either

a.) Opeth filled in for the time LC is missing.
b.) A really awesome band replaced them, such as Porcupine Tree

See Also : Dark Tranquillity

I'd be happy with the montreal show if they threw martyr or quo vadis in to fill the void. Since the shows are starting next week, doubtful any major group will get added in time

Dark Tranquillity can't replace then since they're on tour right now. I'd just love to see them give like an extra song to Paradise Lost, and maybe 3 for themselves.

 

[aztattooedsean]

damnit with immigrations and bands waiting till last minute. I agree just add songs as there is no way you will add a band this late

Them being replaced by Dark Tranquillity would have been awesome, too bad it's not possible. I just hope Opeth gets more time now.

 

[DarkHawk]

Oh, man the thought of even more Opeth live gets me even more excited for this show. I so cant wait for January 19th.
