DAATH Latest Victim Of DISNEY 'Ban?' - Mar. 26, 2009
Atlanta, Georgia extreme metallers DAATH, who will be hitting the road with DRAGONFORCE and CYNIC next month, have been banned from playing the House of Blues in Anaheim, California. The April 15 date will continue without DAATH who will rejoin the trek on April 17 in Boise, Idaho.

The House of Blues is owned by the Walt Disney Corporation and the venue must green-light all bands who are scheduled to perform there. DAATH was not approved to play the show for undisclosed reasons.

Commented DAATH guitarist Eyal Levi: "Apparently Disney doesn't like us very much. We don't know why, because they wouldn't tell us, but we know they don't."

He continued, "I'm not going to bother justifying ourselves in light of this. Only thing I can do is give a sincere apology to any of our fans who spent money to come and see us. We will be back in the area very soon, I promise."

The reunited lineup of the legendary Santa Barbara metal/punk rock hybrid SNOT recently claimed to have been "ejected from the December 20, 2008 show at the House Of Blues in Orlando, Florida" with MUDVAYNE and 10 YEARS because "everything about SNOT is offensive, including the name." SNOT said in a statement, "We did our best to comply with their requirements, including removing images from our MySpace profile, agreeing to not play certain songs, and providing 'them' a setlist for approval... Well... It wasn't good enough... We were rejected... Taken off the bill."

Walt Disney Corporation in 2007 cancelled The Black Tyranny Tour's (featuring MACHINE HEAD, among other bands) opening night in Anaheim, California with just two days notice.

The event was scheduled to take place at the House Of Blues venue on Disneyland property, but Disney representatives suddenly cancelled the concert after reviewing MACHINE HEAD's music and deeming them unsuitable to perform there, according to ChartAttack.com. Disney also cancelled the band's Orlando, Florida stop at the House Of Blues in Walt Disney World. The weird thing is that MACHINE HEAD have played the House Of Blues clubs in Anaheim and Orlando in the past without incident.

In an October 2007 interview with OrlandoSentinel.com, MACHINE HEAD frontman Robb Flynn stated about the alleged ban, "We were told that lyrics were deemed inflammatory, and our fans were deemed undesirable, that they [Disney] are phasing out metal shows, and we weren't going to be playing there. It was the promoter's call to cancel the show under pressure from Disney.

"This was opening night of our tour, and we were pretty bent because the show was being moved 70 miles away, and we had a day to let fans know about the change."

DAATH's new album, "The Concealers", is scheduled for release on April 20 in Europe and April 21 in the U.S. through Century Media Records (via a partnership with Roadrunner Records). The CD was produced and mixed by Jason Suecof and Mark Lewis (TRIVIUM, ALL THAT REMAINS, DEVILDRIVER).

I thought Disney used to own the HoB franchise, but sold it. So they only own the ones on Disney property?

So Snot is booked, then dropped because of... their name? Who did they think they were booking? Daffy Duck and the Mouseholes? Did they even READ the names?

Funny how Disney doesn't have the BALLS to cancel the entire night, just one band. As if to send a message to people that says "we care!". I hope Daath books a gig in the same town on the same night, CRUSHES the place, and makes a killing.

If I were near Anaheim, I'd strongly urge metalheads to do just that. SEND A REAL, SMOKING MESSAGE TO MICKEY AND CO. Book the band, promote the bloody hell out of the show, and blast the place sky high with a huge body count. Can you do it, Anaheim?

even though some of these bands i don't like,i will just not go to any disney property's anymore or house of blues,i need to find out what eles they own.Like i said i don't like some these bands but i will support music over disney/hob.people were smart they would start asking bands to either play other venues or let them book you and nobody buy tickets to the show,the bands will get paid and disney will lose money because no one came to see the show.to many people give in and give up to a cause but why let disney/hob get rich and support them when they don't support the bands we like

Who are you to say Daath and MH are kid's metal. I'm assuming you're one of those 40 year olds that's like anything that's not from the 80s is garbage blah blah. I still don't understand why DAATH is banned from there.

Fuck this Disney shit. I don't even like Daath, but if people are willing to lay down their hard earned cash for tickets then the band should be allowed to play. Seriously in these tough economic times you're going to quibble about whether a heavy metal band is Disney friendly? And since when the fuck does Disney own the House of Blues? I thought the House of Blues was supposed to be a... well gee, a blues joint? What the fuck does Disney know about the blues?!

PS, if you're in Chicago and wanna see some REAL blues:

Buddy Guy's Legends, Kingston Mines, Checkerboard Lounge, Sunday nights at the Woodlawn Tap, Chant (Hyde Park) on Fridays and Saturdays. and Mellow Yellow (Hyde Park) on Fridays. Or just ask around, plenty of fine blues musicians that play on Michigan Ave. (as well as the drumming choirs), State, and Wabash during the day, plus can see alot of great musicians at the El stops.

I was at the House Of Blues for Mago De Oz a few weeks ago, and it's nothing compared to the MDO show I saw at the Aragon. The Aragon show was the best show I've ever been in!

I took a bunch of pictures from the re-scheduled SNOT show after being banned from DISNEY PROPERTY (Disney doesn't own HOB - only the property).

It was a fucking GREAT SHOW - full of energy, and you could tell the band was REALLY GOING OFF !!! Check out the FLmetal MySpace at www.myspace.com/flmetal

We have been on a disney boycott since this happened the first time, and it looks like it will continue. Who the fuck do these idiots think they are? If people are willing to pay to see these bands then i'd say that makes them pretty goddamn desirable now doesnt it?!?!?

Disney does NOT own the House of Blues chain; 2 House of Blues clubs are on Disney property and Disney's contract with House of Blues gives them approval of the bands booked there.

This comes down to money.

Disney is a corporation. Machine Head unfortunately was the "example" to set precedent. Did they take a huge hit at this show? Most likely not.

But ask yourself why some metal bands are allowed to play on Disney property and others are not. Take for example Megadeth's United Abomination show at the HOB in Sept 07. They didn't cancel that show. That was because it was profitable.

"The rep from Disney that they [Disney] are phasing out metal shows" = only the shows that don't sell.

I'm 1/2 Yiddish, and I honestly don't give a shit either way. I think Israel is totally in the wrong, and it's all over this stupid ass book that tells you how to think of your destiny.

Israel coming in on Palestinian soil is about like having a home you and your family have had for 1000's of years. Then someone kicks it in, they say it's their place by birthright, and you go to police, government, etc. They tell you you are shit out of luck, and get out. Of course you fight back, esp. considering living as a Palestinian involves tanks and soldiers raiding your already quite modest home (aka poor) almost everyday.

I'm part Jewish (Yiddish) myself, and I say go the fuck out somewhere else and make your way. Because a book tells you to do it doesn't mean it's right, and I'm sure the Torah doesn't condone killing over someone else's land, and also discriminating by base of religion (they did it to Melenchesh) for citizenship.

But then again, religion is trash. All of it.
