Mayhem at Irving Plaza (more by Paul Birman)
atilla

With the end clearly in sight, the Mayhem tour has withered (pun!) away into a solo tour with the defection of Cephalic Carnage, Cattle Decapitation, and Withered from the ranks. Marduk has been AWOL since the start. Our colleague Justina Villanova reports for Metal Injection:

It was a brutal (not in a good way) end to the tour. For the most part, no one got to say goodbye to anyone. It was abrupt and unexpected (that's what she said). Most of all, it painted the final picture of the kind of people Mayhem are.
Yikes. Her side of the story continues here. All affected tour dates are below...

someone should tell the stupid cunt to get her facts straight. the only one to blame for the tour's failure is that stupid fuck dan from thunderdome for having no clue how to organize a tour.

Calling Justina a cunt is a supremely bad move

"Black Metal Transvestite" by Agoraphobic Nosebleed

Black metal is gay as a Catholic priest
slouching toward Gomorrah.
Face painted like
Gene Simmons at Halloween
with a tongue up some kids rump
looking for candy.
Put down that seven string and get a
fuckin' job,
you tired-looking homo,
Goth hand-banging geek.

You know, if you want to put down one group of people (black metal), make sure to do so while in the process sounding completely juvenile, homophobic, and ignorant.

If you can't find humor in agoraphobic nosebleed lyrics, then you've missed it. Completely.

Early frontrunner for least relevant music-related news story of the year (Billy Corgan hiring a 19-year-old drummer might be the winner though).

Explain relevant, Mr. All-knowing 1:58. Relevant to who? Or relevant to what you think is cool, which, for god-sakes, must be cool if Anonymous thinks so!

Not the first time I’ve heard about issues with Mayhem. My friend toured with them in Japan and he said ½ the band was really cool and ½ were egomaniacal douche bags.

The fact that you actually got upset about AN making fun of black metal, is why people make fun of black metal.

I just like to make fun of people who take metal seriously, period. THAT'S funny.
