The only reason Vader pulled out at all was because Peter hurt his back so badly doing a show that he needed surgery on his spine. If he didn't have the surgery soon, he would have permenant spinal cord damage. So, it was tour the US and possibly end up crippled, or have the surgery and postpone the tour. Obviously he postponed the tour. And it's not like it was a last minute thing. It was announced many months before the tour started that Vader wouldn't be playing, that's why I never even bought tickets. And long before the tour started it was annouced that Macabre would be taking their slot as replacements. It was all announced and made clear many months before the tour took place, it wasn't as if they suddenly pulled out the day of the show just to spite people.
Anyway, Vader is playing here with Kreator at the end of the month, and I'm going to see them for the second time. Gonna kick ass I'm sure.
As far as Bloodbath touring goes, I just don't think it's ever going to happen lol. But if it does, how about a package of all Swano bands?
