	COMMENT \| I'd like to add... posted by : The Judge 9/29/2008 7:52:43 AM

	We're an "International punk rock band " say the band with multi corporate sponsors of a gig in a tax exile paradise. They're about as punk as Marillion. FUCK OFF NOW.

	RE: This band got watever little money they made off a Michael Jackson cover song like ten years ago. I guarantee you MJ & his label & publisher got all the money AAF made from that album.

	COMMENT \| better than you think posted by : lurid 9/29/2008 11:36:57 AM

	they are much better than you think, they dont call themselves punk at all, that is whoever is promoting the show. my band played a show with them two years ago. they are all very good musicians and have still done more than any of you can hope to do with music that being said, it sucks when your most popular song is a cover of a michael jackson tune

	smooth criminal was the only good song and it was a cover... stick to be a cover band guys!

	1 - having a rock/metal/punk festival should always be welcomed in this part of the world regardless of the bands performing. I am tired of having to choose between Osama Ben Laden and a lame arabic pop singer. 2 - Nervecell's star is rising over the death metal world salaam

	COMMENT \| granted most posters are too burnt out to remember this... posted by : themakeadeathwishfoundation 9/29/2008 2:12:52 PM

	...but this band was in a pretty gnarly bus accident that killed the driver and really fucked up two band members (i seem to recall the singer broke his neck). that took a lot of air out of their sails so to speak.

	COMMENT \| posted by : The Son of Zodiac D 9/29/2008 2:44:49 PM

	they were at least better than nickleback...

	COMMENT \| NO respect posted by : DownShine99 9/29/2008 4:51:25 PM

	I can't respect a band whose first and only hit was a terrible cover of smooth criminal. Why is their name even mentioned on this site. JUST GO AWAY AAF

	haha wow. this band is still around
