rivalschools.price Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Obviously the shit has hit the pan now with Phil Anselmo. Will Down still play? He's got away with loads before but seems to have gone too far this time. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentalplan Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Yes. It'll be forgotten about in a week or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably, it usually is but I think people may take longer to be officially this time. Saying that, he looked so bad in his apology video that he may end up in rehab.

lightning1000 Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Unfortunately there's as many people defending his actions as there are condemning them. Fuck him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentalplan Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 Fortarock in Holland just removed Down from the bill over this. Interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rivalschools.price Posted February 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 Just looking at Andys twitter account and there is no reference at all to Down and Anselmo. I'm sure I read tweets and replies on the subject over the last few days. Looks like he has 'sanitised' his account. Can anyone confirm this?

I'd be surprised if more didn't follow suit in dropping them, he has apparently offered to quit the band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chavmeisterdeluxe Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 That's probably the safest offer in the world to be fair. They'd be nothing without him and his name. He truly is a cretin but I doubt they'll get removed. Might cancel the tour if one or two more follow suit and bin them off though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rivalschools.price Posted February 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 They're still on the poster so it looks like they are staying. Thought that they might have disapeared off the poster when the new announcement was made. on a separate note, should they be above Rival Sons?

Tug life Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 For me he confirmed his status as a complete dickwad with his snivelling 'poor me' "offered to quit" shit breath "apology". Fuck the nazi prick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t8yman Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 Because ostracism is always better than rehabilitation/education. The whole point of "civilised society" is that we have the opportunity to debate, grow, and learn. Or you could just close the door and go back to your safe space.

Tug life Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 Drug addiction? Give them all the rehab and therapy they need. Alcoholism? As above. Wayward youth? Give them education, opportunities and inspiration. Nazis? Hang the fuckers. Has he done anything to make amends? Anything to prove he was not in control of his mind and body and is actually not a racist prick? If he was fourteen education/rehabilitation would be a valid option, but he's not, so it's up to him to prove he's not the white power w*nker he showed himself to be; until then he's not fit for civilised society.

FloorFiller Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 obviously out of their control but both Motorhead and Down being removed from the lineup is a bit of a kick in the dick for Download Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gozpot Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 The Lemmy/Motorhead tribute will hopefully be terrific and a great send off for a true pioneer as for Down, im sure they could easily book a band at short notice to fill in the slot, i'd be surprised if they didn't, they can't have a blank spot on the main stage, in previous years at Reading when bands have dropped out they've managed to find replacements at short notice.

They'll surely find someone who can fill the slot. if they get a British band it won't nescessarily need to be on their touring cycle. i went ozzfest( I think) about 15 years ago and for some reason Korn pulled out last minute.They managed to get Therapy? to play with a day or so notice. In fact, Therapy? would be a good shout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckysalt Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 Its not like Download are the only fest Down are pulling out of, they were playing a lot of Euro fests, so maybe say a band on their record label could take the dates, or a band with limited dates like Limp Bizkit could add a bunch on and cover all Down's dates or again each fest might get their own replacements which will have us probably looking in envy whilst we get some shite.
