R.I.P. Chris Dudek, a.k.a. Witchhunter Опции

[Vlad]

Никога не съм очаквал, че Шмир може да постъпи така И аз искам Destruction да е винаги с най-големи букви и най-отгоре, но точно в този случай е неадекватно да се цупи за тва

^ Шмиър е гадно и егоистично копеле (при цялото ми уважение). Засега нито дума от него:

Dear fans, friends and media partners!
Surely you have already heard about the Chris Witchhunter Tribute Concert, which will take place on April 11th, 2009 at the Turbinenhalle Oberhausen.
Now that we invited lots of Chris Witchhunter's and Sodom's friends to this event, we're sorry to inform you that Destruction won't take part.
Destruction - respectively Schmier - weren't satisfied with the flyer and poster design.
Regrettably this discontent had also been discussed on the Destruction message board and thereby word spread to other forums too.
Via e-mail Schmier let us know that he doesn't want to be "a support act" with Destruction and that we "are supposed to look for someone else!" instead.
We regret their decision.
There will be a replacement for Destruction, which we're going to introduce next Monday, January 19th, 2009!
As this festival's initiator, Sodom furthermore want to point out the basic idea behind this event again:
We'd like to arrange a worthy farewell for Chris Witchhunter and still we also want to raise money for his mother.
The event shall be a peaceful and untroubled party for every Thrash Metal fan.
There's another topic that has been discussed on various forums too:
"Why don't Kreator take place, do they think they are too good for this?"
If you have a look at Kreator's tour schedule you'll see that the band is on tour at this time. This is the reason why they can't take place! Well, this is a pity, but their tour had been planned a long time before the Chris Witchhunter Tribute Show.
Thank you all!

Ебати простотията излезе това:

I AM SHOCKED. THIS WANNA-BE PROMOTER WRITES ME TODAY THAT HE KICKS DESTRUCTION OFF THE BILL. READ THE STATEMENT ON THE NEWS SITE PLEASE. CHRIS WOULD TURN OVER IN HIS OWN GRAVE.

IN 25 YEAR THIS IS THE MOST SILLY ACT A PROMOTER EVER DID. TO THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE A TICKET ALREADY, I REALLY APOLOGIZE, BUT THIS WAS BEYOND OUR CONTROL. WE WANTED TO PLAY FOR FREE AND ALL YOU GET IS SHIT & LIES.

WELL DONE RETARD, I CAN T BELIEVE SUCH A SILLY ACT.

I'LL HAVE A DRINK ON CHRIS NOW ...

LIES ABOUT THE WITCHHUNTER TRIBUTE SHOW!
2009-01-17

TO CUT DOWN RUMOURS ABOUT THE CANCELLATION OF THE CHRIS WITCHHUNTER TRIBUT SHOW, WE NEED TO SPEAK OUT THE TRUTH ABOUT THE NONPROFESSIONAL BEHAVIOUR OF THE SO-CALLED "PROMOTER".

DESTRUCTION AGREED TO PLAY FOR FREE, WITHOUT ANY OF THE NORMAL DEMANDS ON THIS CHARITY EVENT, THE ONLY DEMAND WAS A PROFESSIONAL POSTER. AFTER THAT THE WANN-BE-PROMOTER TOOK THE BAND OFF THE BILL. NO COMMUNICATION WITH THE BAND OR THE AGENCY, NOTHING!

THIS DECISION WAS BEYOND THE BANDS CONTROL AND WILL ONLY HURT THE FANS AND CHRIS RELATIVES.

AS A MATTER OF RESPECT FOR OUR DEAD FRIEND, WE WILL NOT FIGHT THIS SENSELESS DECISION IN PUBLIC. THE EVENT IS A GOOD THING FOR CHRIS & HIS FAMILY. CHRIS WOULD TURN OVER IN HIS OWN GRAVE, AFTER SUCH A STUPID ACT. DESTRUCTION APOLOGIZES FOR THIS BRAINLESS DECISION OF THIS WANNA-BE-PROMOTER, SUPPORT CHRIS & HIS RELATIVES!

[Braindead]

Е, в крайна сметка ходи разбери точно какво е станало в действителност... но каквото и да е, по доста неприятен повод стана.

CHRIS WITCHHUNTER TRIBUT SHOW WILL INCLUDE DESTRUCTION!
2009-02-10


AFTER A CHAINREACTION OF MISUNDERSTANDINGS REGARDING THE CHRIS WITCHHUNTER TRIBUT SHOW, WE CAN NOW HAPPILY CONFIRM THAT DESTRUCTION WILL PERFORM AT THE EVENT!
AFTER A LONG AND INTENSE CONVERSATION WITH HIS OLD BUDDY TOM ANGELRIPPER, DESTRUCTION SINGER SCHMIER GAVE US THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT:

”IF THIS PHONECALL WOULD HAVE HAPPENED EARLIER, ALL THIS PAINFUL CONFUSION WOULD HAVE NEVER TAKEN PLACE. SODOM & DESTRUCTION BOTH BEEN ON TOUR LATELY, I GUESS THAT DID LEAD TO A COUPLE OF MISUNDERSTANDINGS THAT ARE ALL SOLVED NOW!”

”THERE WAS NEVER ANY INTENTION TO ARGUE ABOUT THIS EVENT IN ANY CASE! TOM AND MYSELF HAVE A FRIENDSHIP SINCE 25 YEARS, THE LACK OF COMMUNICATION VIA THRID PARTIES DID LEAD TO SOME TURBULENT MISINTERPRETING.”

”I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT, THAT WE HAVE MOVED OUR NORTH AMERICAN ANNIVERSARY TOUR TO PLAY AT THIS EVENT, IT WAS ALWAYS VERY IMPORTANT TO US. WE HAVE CONFIRMED OUR PARTICIPATION ALREADY IN LATE 2008. AS SOME MAY REMEMBER, CHRIS HAS TOURED WITH US BEFORE ON THE ИTERNAL DEVESTATION-TOUR` IN 1986, WHEN OUR DRUMMER TOMMY LEFT THE BAND. SINCE THAT DAY WE WERE REAL MATES!”

”I HOPE THAT NOW, IN BEHALF OF THIS IMPORTANT EVENT, ALL RUMOURS AND SPECULATIONS WILL STOP AND WE CAN PAY TRIBUT TO A GREAT LOST FRIEND.
SORRY ABOUT THE CONFUSION, I GUESS WE HAVE ALL LEARNED ONCE AGAIN, HOW IMPORTANT GOOD, EDUCATED COMMUNICATION IS. I NEED TO THANK TOM FROM SODOM AND ROB FROM ASSASSIN FOR THEIR ENCOURAGEMENT. SEE YOU AT THE SHOW FOLKS!”

Хм, значи много шум за нищо (или пък не?). За съжаление, обаче, историята мълчи какво точно са си говорили Том и Шмиър.

Да е жив и здрав.

Умрях от смях!!! Не за друго, един приятел така се ебава постоянно.

Прогресивът е фекал.

Наистина.

R.I.P., Witchhunter!

[Braindead]

Е, не, продължава простотията...ето това мернах сега в сайта пък на Содом. Бих го превела, но не смятам, че има смисъл, а и то вече стана една...

Ето го и в сайта направо: клик

Dear fans!

During the last weeks I received numerous e-mails concerning the Chris Witchhunter Memorial Concert, therefore I decided to comment on some of the criticisms.

There were two main criteria concerning the choice of the bands:

First it was important to invite bands and musical companions, who had a personal relation with Chris.

Secondly we booked bands that have their roots in the 80s.

Actually both facts apply to Destruction, which was our reason to contact them immediately. We were agreed at once and Destruction confirmed their appearance promptly. Furthermore Chris had helped them on tour in 1986. After the poster had been finished and printed, Schmier complained about the size of the band logo and asked us to change the layout according to his wishes. We didn't meet his demands.

Of course you could dispute about all this, no question, but we didn't want to be put under pressure by someone. The fact is that Schmier wrote us an e-mail telling us that he is not willing to take part in this event and that we have to look for another band if we don't change the poster.

I personally regret his decision, but I accept it. It also doesn't make sense to expatiate upon this little controversy on the forums. All this draws off the attention from the actual event.

I'm sure that all those Destruction fans out there would have been happy about their performance, even if there's a "smaller" band logo on the poster. I on my part would never break my friendship with Schmier because of this trifle.

I hope he thinks the same. We know each other for 25 years and we always had a lot of fun together! And it should stay like this.

The few real friends of Chris attended his funeral. Nonetheless I missed a couple of people. I admit that my relation to Chris hadn't been the best in the last years of his short life. But the people that worked together with him until the end tried everything to help him and to give him courage to face life.

In this regard I want to name Toto as producer of "The Final Sign of Evil" as well as Grave Violator, one of our primary guitarists. Both have selflessly taken care of Chris until the end. But all that is nothing compared to what his loving mother had to suffer. We want to give something back to her with this concert, and we want to keep her son's memory alive. For me, those are the important things in life and those are also the reasons for which we arrange this show.

I want to avoid that this thought falls behind because of that ongoing discussion.

I don't think that Chris would have wanted this. We've put together a fair package of bands and I'm especially proud of this. Regrettably the reason for such a meeting is a sad one, but I hope that this absolutely unique billing of cult bands will be a success for all participants.

And I don't let anyone talk this down.

With all this in mind, regards
TOM

Е, не, продължава простотията...

Това е старо.

Деска, омотала си се. Проблемът е решен. Оказа се, че всико било заради booker-а/организатора на концерта, не Том, в случая. Просто той и Шмиър са "контактували" през трето лице, от където е дошло цялото мазало. В крайна сметка двамата са се чули по телефона (да ги еба в Злетата!) и са изгладили нещата.
Няма да коментирам това за флайера, щото за мен си е детинщинка, макар и леко дискусионна (защо от никоя друга банда не мръннаха за това, примерно). Разбирам идеята на Шмиър, обаче в случая просто беше не на място.
Как да е, доколкото разбрах, цялото шоу ще се филмира, ще има фланелки и прочее... Язък, че сме на Мачу Пикчу у царевичако.


R.I.P. Chris "Witchhunter" Dudek, дано товоа шоу в чест на твоя живот се превърне ежегодна в традиция.

[Braindead]

Не, Боби, въпросът е друг, аз знам, че тези неща вече се казаха. Ама ето го, сега чичо Том го казва абсолютно черно на бяло, за чий бяха всичките тея простотии, които се изписаха...и в този смисъл, време е вече да се гледа само КЪМ концерта, и без това опорочиха достатъчно паметта на човека.

[sgoh]

Абе тва твойто е от преди да се "разберат".
После се чули по телефона и три дни яли, пили и се веселили.

Що наливаш масло в огъня с разни стари информации? Представи си, че тия двамата четат форума и после кой какво чул, кой какво разбрал - може пак да стане деликатно.

[Braindead]

Да, очевидно ъпдейтът ми не е много добър днес. Просто странното е, че преди не я бях видяла тая новина и затова така ме застреля, че сега пък е постнато такова нещо. Forget about it, както е казал класикът...

Клипчето е хубаво, особено заради символиката, с която Свен е подбрал парчетата към него. Но на моменти е малко хаотично заснетото отпред.

[Braindead]

Снимали са шоуто и най-вероятно ще го бъде на DVD! Това 100% ще да е нещо, което трябва да се притежава!

[winterstorms]

Определено би си заслужавало, дано наистина го издадат!
