Anyway, Gene told sPaZZtic from the band Meatlocker 7, who spread it at the MetalManiacs board. Carl "Prostheta" Reznor, HDR's webmaster also began a similar thread on his forum.
Spazztec = Mike. Mike = unreliable drunkard.
Czrl Reznor = Elie = creator of music that goes "blip bleep etc"
Believe it only if/when you see confirmation from HDR or Century Media directly. Tours get talked about amongst musicians all the time. This isn't the first time.
Plus something Mike might have left out... Gene likes vodka
