Anthrax ble som kjent avlyst i går, men Shot At Dawn, Bömbers og She Said Destroy spilte i Skateparken. Det var rundt 100 pers innom da jeg så Shot At Dawn tidlig på kvelden, noen andre som var innom og sjekket ut de tre bandene?
]]>“On the advice of counsel, I have remained silent to the statements issued by ANTHRAX in recent days and now must address these issues to my loyal fans and others. I want to set the record straight.
“I was never seriously ill or sick at all, as reported in ANTHRAX‘s July 17, 2009 press release. This extremely inflammatory statement hurt me tremendously. This statement misled fans, friends and family members into believing that I was seriously ill when I was not. I was not aware such a statement was being issued and it came as a total shock to me, as I’m sure it did to all of you. It was the other band members’ decision to cancel the tour dates, not mine. I was ready, willing and able to do my job.
“After issuing the press release, the other band members decided, on their own accord, that I had ‘resigned’ from the band. I never resigned from the band.
“Even in view of this action and stance taken by the band, as late as earlier today I made it clear that I was ready willing and able to continue to fulfill my obligations. After that offer was made, the most recent press release was issued which announced my ‘confirmed’ departure from the band. I was not aware of the contents of this release until after it was issued, nor was I aware that ANTHRAX was canceling the European and SLIPKNOT tours.
“I regret any disappointment and confusion this situation has caused.
“I want to thank my loyal fans, family and friends for all their support and their many messages, emails and calls.
“My counsel has been instructed to take any and all appropriate actions to address this situation.”

Promotor Ottar Stangeland fortalte nylig til Pyro at Anthrax-konserten i Skateparken i Gamlebyen er avlyst.
– Jeg snakket med bandets europeiske bookingmanager, Dan Devita pÃ¥ TKO, og han bekreftet at hele turneen er avlyst. Bandet virker Ã¥ være uvenner, og den nye vokalisten Dan Nelson er definitivt ute av bandet, sier Stangeland til Pyro.
Det virker rett og slett som om Anthrax er i ferd med å bli historie.
Stangeland jobber nå ivrig med en erstatter for morgendagens konsert, og nevner Kreator, The Haunted, Municipal Waste, Testament og Exodus som artister han prøver å få inn som erstatter for Anthrax.
– En ting er sikkert: det blir thrash metal i Skateparken i morgen, avslutter Stangeland.
Pyro kommer garantert tilbake med mer.
OPPDATERING: Det skal visstnok komme en announcement fra Anthrax sin manager ganske snart. Visstnok er noen show avlyst, men ikke alle. Dette blir stadig mer underlig. Vi poster beskjeden fra managementet så snart vi har den i hus.
OPPDATERING 2: Anthrax har nÃ¥ ogsÃ¥ – ifølge Blabbermouth – offisielt kansellert konserten i Praha 29. juli. Vi venter fremdeles pÃ¥ pressemelding fra bandets manager.
