"We know that is was a great opportunity, but we felt like we need to do it on our own and not on terms of other people. We need to promote the upcoming record in the best way for us right now. So don't be disappointed because we are working on our own tour for 2008 right now.You will get 100% VOLBEAT instead of 50%."

Apparently they feel the best way to promote their record is to cancel every show they had planned to play in the fall.

That's some crackerjack management they've got going there.

 

[Dolamite S. Biffle]

Clearly they need to lay off the Carlsberg for a while and get their shit in line.

 

[PatrickHoyt]

"wtf" is quite an appropriate understatement right now I would think.

 

[Harvester]

Wow. Just wow....

 

[VenomGA]

LOL I don;t get them...they seem to be shooting themselves in the foot repeatedly.

 

[rockyracoon]

Not sure whether to laugh or be pissed off.

 

[Metalmilitia2000]

Karma is a fucking bitch, I think they just found that out the wrong way.

This would make sense if they were kicked off of the tour.

 

[Metalmilitia2000]

I was kind of thinking that too after I typed it...

 

[PatrickHoyt]

Wow. Just wow....

It's ok, I like Mustasch much better--if that helps any?

*** Unless, of course, you live in Atlanta or had plans to visit Atlanta in September because we can guarantee that you will get 0% VOLBEAT there.

I feel for you Glenn... this had to feel like a punch in the stomach.

Didn't the Disturbed/Nevermore tour get postponed after Nevermore bailed on PPUSA? Seems like a odd coincidence.

 

[DoomsdayZach]

Progpower curse perhapse?

Progpower curse perhapse?

I wouldn't call it a curse, I would call it the spirit of ProgPowerUSA pissing on the bands that have pissed on it.

though I suppose from the band's perspective it would be a curse.

More like a kick in the nads.

 

[Cheiron]

But you have Balls of Steel (and a plaque to prove it), so that must have been why you recovered so fast =D

Actually Nevermore ended up having to cancel their ProgPower headlining appearance because the Disturbed tour was pushed back from the middle of the summer to the fall.

IIRC.

You beat me to it.

And just so you know... Tuesday/Sunday is NOT AN OPTION for another fest day, mkay?!
