Totuus Five Finger Death Punchin Memphisin keikan keskeyttämisestä
Yhdysvaltalainen metalliyhtye Five Finger Death Punch aiheutti toukokuun alussa keikallaan Memphisissä melkoisen kohun, kun yhtyeen keikka jäi bändin oman tiedotteen mukaan lyhyeksi huonon äänentoiston takia. Nyt yhtyeen kitaristi Jason Hook on paljastanut ”Three Sides Of The Coin” -nimisen ohjelman haastattelussa, että yhtyeen keikan peruuntuminen johtui vokalisti Ivan Moodyn holtittomasta alkoholin käytöstä. Voit lukea Jason Hookin näkemyksen kyseisen keikan kulusta tästä:
”Well, I don’t know how much I’m supposed to talk about that, but the ’net net’ is every once in a while… Actually, this is the first time it’s ever happened. But, you know, we have little schisms amongst each other, as all bands do, having to do with lifestyle choices. And one thing that we always agreed upon was that no matter what’s going on with us personally, we never bring it up on stage, because that’s not the place for it; that’s sacred territory. Those are the people that booked a babysitter, took the day off work, drove two hours, bought a hotel [room] and a ticket, and you don’t fuck with that no matter what’s going on. You can make it through an hour and twenty minutes with your problems waiting for you backstage. And what happened, in my estimation, was that, for whatever reason, Ivan decided to get shitfaced drunk — I’m probably not supposed to be talking about this — but he started to lose his temper onstage towards, basically, the rest of us, being the band. And, you know, there’s only so much of that we can handle. And he was upset with Jeremy [Spencer], the drummer, for something… Jeremy released a book, or I don’t know what the problem was… But, anyway, Jeremy decided that he had enough and he got up and left. Well, it’s hard to play a concert without the drummer.”
”So, anyway, that’s the first time that’s ever happened, and that will be the last time that ever happens, because we’ve talked about it quite a bit, and that’s just unacceptable, and I think everyone understands that it’s never to happen again. But that’s, you know… That’s real, that’s being in a band, and that’s what happens. So there you go. Sorry, Memphis, we owe you a concert.”
