Presspicture voor de komende wereldtour van Motley Crue.
Het mag gezegd worden, Vince Neil ziet er toch opnieuw wat meer Vince Neil uit ipv patattenzak.

Looking sharp
let's hope Vince actually lost some weight, it sure looks like he did!
Jammer maar misschien wel logisch.
Hier het bericht van de band:
Hey there,
the band RUSSKAJA has ultimately decided to quit with the band. This is after 18 years very sad news of course, but the ongoing war in Ukraine that was initiated by Russia on Feb 204th 2022 makes it impossible for us to continue with an image and style that is making satirical use of Soviet symbols and language. The band is called RUSSKAJA (transl. Russian) and based a lot on those attributes with a singer that was born in Russia and brought to Austria more than 30 years ago.
What once was fun in the band's music is nothing but bitter now and the band members cannot go on stage anymore without feeling that bitterness in every note played and every word sung. All the lyrics written have a totally different meaning now and none of the bandmembers wants to represent this since in these times it is only associated with war, death, crime and blood spilled.
The time has finally come to stop this. We tried to do statements, position ourselves publicly for what we stand and that's peace and unity. But we can feel that it's not enough and also it will not change anymore. We realized that this war will not stop soon and even if it would, the Soviet imagery and style is forever damaged now.
RUSSKAJA has also become a target in the web, there's shitstorms everyday and with every new single we release. People call us Russian terrorist and pro-Russian even if we are the exact opposite. Finally we also care about the safety of our crew and all people involved and we don't want to risk anything violent happening when we're on the road and playing shows.
To most of us RUSSKAJA was not only our band but it was also our existence. This decision is very very sad for all of us but after all that happened since Feb 24 2022 we don't see any other chance here.
We hope that all fans, promoters & partners can understand the hell we're going through taking our own baby to the grave after all these years. As a farewell gift we wanna give you our new album TURBO POLKA PARTY.
Peace
RUSSKAJA

Damn. Goed statement hoor. Mooi verwoord. Wel heel zuur, maar begrijpelijk. Had ze wel willen zien, maar vroeg me wel ook gelijk af wat de politieke context met zo’n band zou doen. Nou, dit dus. Zonde.
Dus in plaats van nieuwe namen na meer dan twee maanden krijgen we afvallers.
Ik weet niet of ik hier nou een lach of huil emoji op moet reageren
Ik zit naar Bring Me The Horizon te kijken op Hellfest op mijn tablet. Terwijl ik met de trein reis. Er vanuit gaande dat ze mss idd op GMM staan (hoewel ik onder Centraal Europa versta volledig Europa zonder UK maar blijkbaar is zodus Wikipedia het oneens met mij) en ik me dus wil voorbereiden. En eigenlijk mogen ze van mij gerust langs komen. Liefst niet als headliner maar als ik zie wat zo een popcore band (ja zo noem ik het 
) teweeg brengt op Hellfest ... De ene wall of death na de andere en overal springende mensen en het is nog licht op dat moment.

Zou het maar al te graag hebben, maar ik vrees dat we dan even zeer klagende mensen op facebook gaan zienIk zit naar Bring Me The Horizon te kijken op Hellfest op mijn tablet.

Dat is een gegeven. Kondigen ze Metallica aan, zullen er nog mensen klagen dat Megadeth er niet staat. Het zal wel…
