That is just swell. Should have known better that the big US tours always end up in a funnel. Cannot wait to see a real tour in Europe. Now I am really pissed off, I ll go grab my sword and break stuff.Squeak said:

Yah, well, I spent $300 on a palne ticket to go to North Carolina and $100 on film that I cannot get a refund on to see this tour. ARGH.

True true, but you can always come by and have one here or I will swing by. Right now,i am staring at my AA cd's and i am at the brink of utter desperation.
Fuck man its cancaled and its all because of one asshole, what the fuck. Ive been looking to this for months and now what. Maybe amon amarth can rig something up, get some of the bands who actually fucking care about their fans and keep it going. This got so much hype......

You bring a god point, just when there are several Metal tours with a lot of potential to unite the fans (Metal Gods, DT/QRYCHT/FW, Maiden/DIO/MH) ... this happens and all because of dough.Belgar said:That is just swell.

THE 2003 METAL GODS NORTH AMERICAN TOUR Cancelled!!! - May 2, 2003
The 2003 Metal Gods North American Tour, a multi-band package featuring HALFORD, co-headliners TESTAMENT, IMMORTAL, CARNAL FORGE, PRIMAL FEAR, PAINMUSEUM, and AMON AMARTH, has been officially cancelled due to "contractual difficulties."
The following is the official statement on the matter from HALFORD manager John Baxter:
"I'm sorry to have to report the following, but the tour has to be brought to an end after this weekend's New York performances because of contractual difficulties.
"I learned on Tuesday, that inappropriate activity had been carried out days prior to the Chicago show, without my knowledge and approval. The unapproved activity has financially affected the tour.
"For legal reasons nothing further can be said for the moment. A formal press statement will be prepared after we obtain additional instruction from counsel.
"We know ultimately this affects each of you, so I will look at re-booking some/all of the dates. The dates however, will not include The Metal Gods lineup.
"Please try and provide me with your patience while I review and determine how best to move forward.
"Thank you.

I am so fuckin' pissed, all I could do tonight was to go mourn at my local Irish pub. I always thought that TRUE metal was not about money, I suddenly realized that I had been dead wrong since day one, at least when it comes to US tours. I still wonder how my comrades in Europe manage to do X-Mas, summerclash,.... festivals sometimes featuring up to 10 bands w/o any conflict. Anyways, one big band usually turns out to be the root of all problems, so I won't name any right now and wait for an official statement. I hope AA, Immortal and some others can go on with the tour. If not, see you around in Europe this summer.

I just can laugh at this shit...hahahaha...Okay, I think I have to explain
AA cancelled the Rock Hard festival (Germany) to go on the Metal Gods Tour, and now this got fucked up, too.
Sorry guys, I only can laugh of pain. Hope, they don't kill Summer Breeze, too...Then it would be really shitty.

What i was told when i called bb kings is that the show is still on and i think it's contractual so that is going to be the last show. I plan on going up for the show and see this great lineup of bands!

I was caught in a similar situation...a girl at work asked me to go to her prom, and I told her I couldn't because I was going out of town to go to New England Metalfest. Now I don't even have enough money to go to Metalfest...and I'll be home...moping around doing nothing.

Shit happens man
Sometimes every metalfan is such a happy guy (or girl), and sometimes everything just goes wrong. Shit, but that's life
