21/11/2003
- Battleroar's cancelation for the Blind Guardian show
Dear Friends,
since many of you are asking what happened with our appearance in
the Blind Guardian show, we think it's better to explain in few words
what really happened.
Until the very day of the show (Saturday the 25th of October 2003),
we had all the possible confirmations that a band could have. Everything
seemed to be pretty sure.
But it seems that this was not the case. On Saturday morning we got
a phone call from a friend, not even the organizers, and were informed
that we were not to play after all....
As you can all understand, we were more than astonished. It's too
damn irritating to be notified the very last minute that you are not
going to play. We believe that it's no use for anyone to go on and
explain all the reasons. What we can tell for sure is that we did
exactly what we were told to do during the last month before this
show. We don't know who's fault it is, our label's or the organizer's
or whoever's else , but be damn sure that it was not OUR fault. But
the organizers should be at least a bit more proffesionals and inform
us earlier. And it's really pissing us off, learning that the organizers
go on and tell everybody that Battleroar didn't even show up on Saturday...
In any case, we would like to apologize to all the fans and friends
that attended that show in order to see us live. We are really sorry,
but we had nothing to do with all the inconvenience.
Keep in touch, for we shall announce soon enough our first Greek show
for the year 2004.
EPIC METAL TO THE END. |
