ANTHRAX: Gothenburg Concert Called Off After Half A Song
- Apr. 19, 2006
|
|
|
ANTHRAX's concert in Gothenburg, Sweden Wednesday night (April 19) lasted only a few minutes, according to a BLABBERMOUTH.NET source that was present at the gig. Halfway through the opening song, "Among the Living", the band's amplifiers, vocalist Joey Belladonna's microphone and the monitors all went dead and the band was forced to leave the stage. The crowd was told that there was a power problem, but was asked to stay put while it was being fixed. The house PA and speakers worked as per usual, seeing as music was played while an attempt was made to fix what appeared to be "a poweramp to the backline or something like that," according to another attendee.
More than an hour later, an announcement was made that the show had to be cancelled due to "severe electrical problems." The crowd remained very civil (possibly due to the bar being open) and was surprisingly patient, despite the almost 90-minute delay before the show got called off. No one threw beers or anything at the stage, but when the announcement was finally made by one of the hosts, it was done from behind curtains (obviously to avoid being pelted with beer bottles and other similar items). Several electricians were reportedly called to the venue Trädgårn, but were unable to locate the source of the problem. The opening band, BEYOND FEAR (featuring ex-JUDAS PRIEST and current ICED EARTH frontman Tim "Ripper" Owens), performed their set without a glitch.
ANTHRAX played Sweden at last summer's Sweden Rock festival. Tonight's concert was the only stop in Sweden on the band’s current European tour and lots of people had travelled far to see the legendary thrash metal act. The audience was told to keep their tickets to get a refund. [Note: One ANTHRAX fan reportedly demonstrated his disappointment by undressing and exposing his penis.]
UPDATE: The following message has been posted at ANTHRAX's official web site:
"We regret to inform that tonight's gig at Trädgårn in Gothenburg, Sweden has been cancelled due to insufficient power at the venue. [Guitarist] Scott [Ian] adds, 'We are gutted. This has never happened to us ever. We tried everything to make it work but the power problem was impossible to fix. We haven't played here since 1990 and we were so looking forward to raging with our Goteborg friends. I promise we will be back!!!'"
(Thanks: Petter Carnbro)

".....mindless power chord chugging...."
that was weak dude.
i'll agree that anthrax isn't what they once were, but don't think they fly the flag for all of thrash.
thrash is timeless and will never die. even if nobody today can match that period of time, way back in the '80s

...this is bullshit....
I just got home from the Gothemburg (gig) and I'm far more drunk than I should have been because of the fuck up...
It's 1.51 AM now and me and my friend Åke were among te one who stayed as late as we could at the venue...
We spent our time and money waiting for the show to continue and believe me, I've been to concerts for the past 20 years and I've NEVER expirienced a disaster like this. This suck major fuckin horse balls.....
A major FUCK OFF to the concert promoter!!!! I spoke to the drummer of the opening act and he said that the problems had beeing going on all day...
My friend Åke showed his ass and NOT his balls bfore we went out of the venue. Fuck you all, and I except Anthrax to make this up if they really care about their fans...
I'm goin to bed right now and I'm gonna be rally fuckin pissed tomorrow...........

if this would have happend in spain or south america or something, there would have been riots and lots of destruction of property.
Luckily the swedes showed a bit of class... apart from the penis flashing.

However, part of me wonders about the venue. Don't these places have a knowledge of how much power is available, how reliable it is and how much a band needs?

Meshuggah is God awful? No they aren't just God awful, they should be banned from playing their instruments and singing in public. There is no substance or credibility to their music. Anthrax is head and shoulders above messuka.

No one was bothered by it though. Janne from Bodom said male nudity is very common in Scandinavia, remember?? LOL!
I should try that next time I'm disappointed at work.
BTW: Anthrax is nothing without Bush! Fuck Belladonna!

seems like every time anthrax has played with the new lineup something has been fucked up with their sound, or at least the 3 times i have seen them with the lineup being reunited. Nothing went wrong with Bush doing the vocals and the old lineup....makes me wonder.

From what I understand, dropping your trousers around a bunch of dudes (especially metal dudes) in the Scandinavian part of the world means that you are actually very happy and having a good time--and not gay, either.
And you're not gay if someone from COB starts sucking your rod, either.

The worst part of that is, is that the fans got screwed. I doubt they got refunded anything for something that wasn't their fault. Regardless the band and promoter will be all too happy to keep their money. Hopefully a law student or two was in attendance at that show.
