THE 2003 METAL GODS NORTH AMERICAN TOUR Cancelled!!! - May 2, 2003

The 2003 Metal Gods North American Tour, a multi-band package featuring HALFORD, co-headliners TESTAMENT, IMMORTAL, CARNAL FORGE, PRIMAL FEAR, PAINMUSEUM, and AMON AMARTH, has been officially cancelled due to "contractual difficulties."

The following is the official statement on the matter from HALFORD manager John Baxter:

"I'm sorry to have to report the following, but the tour has to be brought to an end after this weekend's New York performances because of contractual difficulties.

"I learned on Tuesday, that inappropriate activity had been carried out days prior to the Chicago show, without my knowledge and approval. The unapproved activity has financially affected the tour.

"For legal reasons nothing further can be said for the moment. A formal press statement will be prepared after we obtain additional instruction from counsel.

"We know ultimately this affects each of you, so I will look at re-booking some/all of the dates. The dates however, will not include The Metal Gods lineup.

"Please try and provide me with your patience while I review and determine how best to move forward.

"Thank you.

"John Baxter"

HALFORD Manager Says A Single Person Caused Collapse Of METAL GODS Tour - May 3, 2003

HALFORD manager John Baxter has offered more details regarding the cancellation of The 2003 Metal Gods North American Tour, a multi-band package featuring HALFORD, co-headliners TESTAMENT, IMMORTAL, CARNAL FORGE, PRIMAL FEAR, PAINMUSEUM, and AMON AMARTH.

According to Baxter, "It was a single individual that caused the collapse of the tour. The individual's employer [apparently referring to the Universal Attractions booking agency—ed.] was unaware of what their employee was doing until early this week, and the matter was eventually brought to my attention on Tuesday [April 29]. I worked tirelessly with everyone to try and overcome the problems.

"All the labels and managers understood it was going to be impossible for me to overcome what had been set in motion, but I gave it all my attention with hopes of finding a solution.

"Please realize I began work on this tour last September, believing the hard core metal fans would show up if I could get it on the road. This was my baby and it became all of [the fans'] once we debuted. I can't say there isn't anyone hurt more by this news than me because I know each of [the fans is] as passionate about metal as I, or [they] wouldn't be visiting [the official HALFORD site] and attending the shows.

"I can't give a timeline as to when specifics can be released. This is now a very serious legal matter, and it will be resolved the way all legal matters are resolved — with time.

"Again, none of the bands [on the tour] were involved [in the cancellation of the tour], and none will be facing any type litigation.

"[The] bands were not arguing. There was an outstanding level of professionalism carried by all the bands, managements and labels.

"The activity [that caused the tour's cancellation] took place away from everyone's view.

"Everyone in the entourage is bitterly angry, but now realize we all have to recover and move on. Not comforting but realistic.

"Both New York shows [at B.B. King's in New York City on Friday, May 2 and Saturday, May 3] will go as planned.

"We've looked at this from dozens of angles since Tuesday afternoon. Pulling the shows was the last option.

"Rob is too angry to do anything other than give [New York] the performances of his life."

i'm not reading all that... give me the jist of it

its really not that much to read

talking about reading, i just started a book.
what happens when crusty punk collides with ultra evil-black metal?

i will let everyone know when its done

the bottom line
thurs day they played ct
friday ny
sat ny
the rest of the tour from here on in is scrapped

Wait, what was the "innapropriate activity"?

I got to see the CT show before this was cancelled.

good show!

btw, I heard it was cancelled because halford had 3 buses and they only needed one.
