a tribute band? really?

haha, so it seems Primordial was to play some big one off show in Athens this weekend ... it didn't go to well it seems as the drummer got freaking hammered before the show.
not sure what exactly went down but they just posted this on FB "Sorry Athens. We will make amends."

this should be a fun story ... finally the Irish comes out of them.

 

[Vittra]

Haha, he's not in the band anymore.

SRS BSNS.

 

[Ellestin]

What do you mean, not in the tribute to Bathory or not in Primordial?

 

[Demilich]

He means Simon O'Laoghaire, the drummer, is out of Primordial.

Shame, he was a great fit for the band and brought a lot to the albums

No fucking way. They kicked him out for getting hammered before a gig? I love that dude's drum work.

Just how drunk do you have to be to get kicked out of an Irish metal band?

It was more than booze ... "like" them on FB for more dirt.

yeah I'd like to read the explanation... O'Laoghaire was one of the band's many souls, and not the least vital one. That's shit news.

So it sounds like he get really really drunk then attempted to play the show, and it was really bad. But there may have been some problems before and this kinda compounded though problems... I think. Confused.

Can't find any videos of Athens, but I did find one of a few days later in Lithuania:



Which sounds good.

Hmm. ..

This. He was one of the few drummers who really stood out as having a unique, identifiable style. He will not be adequately replaced.

Kinda sucks, one of my favourite drummers, but I suppose he was a dick or something and I trust them to find a good replacement.

I'm not even sure what Aurel is talking about. I have them as Liked on FB and I don't see any "dirt" in the threads.
