Exodus annule sa tournée européenne.

To all our friends & fans in Europe….
With very very heavy hearts, our upcoming European run which starts next week will unfortunately have to be cancelled. As a lot of you already know, over the past week, our brother Gary Holt had an unfortunate incident that happened to his brother in Italy, which resulted with Gary and his wife having to fly unexpectedly to take care of the situation. As some of you may or may have not read, the situation has taken a toll on our beloved brother. We are a family-oriented band, and family will always come first with Exodus. We hope you all understand the circumstances, at the moment, Gary needs to tend to his family. This is not what we wanted, as we were all looking forward coming to play for all of you great European fans that have supported this band for the past 40 years. Don’t worry Europe, Exodus will be back! Thank you all for understanding, we love and appreciate each and every one of you.

Merde. Ça n´arrête pas.

Arf. A quelques jours du début de la tournée, ça serait un exploit de trouver un remplaçant.

[Tailgunner]

J'hésitais à aller à Strasbourg, sans Exodus c'est non !

Cette tournée enchaine les mauvaises nouvelles puisque Alex Skolnick ne pourra pas y participer, également pour des raisons familiales. Il est remplacé par Phil Demmel (Vio-lence).

TESTAMENT guitarist Alex Skolnick will sit out the band's spring/summer 2023 European tour in order to tend to a family emergency. He will be replaced on the trek by former MACHINE HEAD and current VIO-LENCE guitarist Phil Demmel.

Earlier today (Wednesday, May 24),Skolnick released the following statement via social media: "Dear Friends, a few days ago, I sent a late night 'family emergency' email to the band. The hour was 3am. I was at my mother's hospital bedside, in a tiny chair, still in stage clothes, a soft guitar case crammed in the corner (I'd come straight from my gig downtown). Thankfully, things have improved somewhat, knock on wood, and my mom's out of the Emergency Room, in more comfortable surroundings at the hospital, with release in the (hopefully) not too distant future. It's a good thing I happened to be home during such a turbulent week.

"At the same time, it's become very clear how many urgent matters need hands-on attention by yours truly, in light of all this. All of which to is to say that, unfortunately, there is no way to avoid TESTAMENT's upcoming European tour being affected.

"At least there is protocol for these situations. At this point, TESTAMENT had done an untold number of tours with bands in which one or more band members have had to be filled in for, most often for family issues (which become more frequent for everyone as life goes on). And having assessed this situation, it seems to make the most sense - assuming things continue in a present positive direction - for me to sit out part of this current tour and rejoin approximately mid-way. While I hate to miss/cancel shows (and never have, as far as I can remember),family first, as they say.

"Please know that the entire TESTAMENT band/crew/mgmt has been above and beyond in terms of understanding, empathizing and allowing me all the time I need. There's been no pressure and this is a plan I'm entirely on board with. There is plenty of gratitude on my end.

"I'm also grateful to my sub for these dates, Phil Demmel (ex-MACHINE HEAD). If bands are families, he is our 'Cousin Phil.' We have shared stages at NAMM and the with METAL ALLEGIANCE and he and Chuck [Billy, TESTAMENT singer] go back to their early youth. In recent years, Phil has become like Winston Wolf (from 'Pulp Fiction'),the guy you call in a pinch, whether you're SLAYER, LAMB OF GOD (for guitar or bass),OVERKILL and even vocals in JOURNEY - ok that's not true (but there is a funny même about that). Eric Peterson will also be stepping in for some of my sections as well. Having played with both, I just know these guys will sound fantastic together, like a thrash MAIDEN. Will it sound like me? No and it shouldn't.

"One of my biggest honors was being a fill-in (one of four) for the late, great Allan Holdsworth, with his own band shortly after his passing, at a show he‘d been slated to play. All of us agreed - don't try to be him (no one can!),just be YOU. And that's how this is going to be. Think of these shows as unique, one-of-kind and worth going out of the way for. I'm looking forward to watching clips online

"Enjoy this temporary version of the band (which will be great) and don't worry - you'll have me to put up with again soon enough.

"Thanks for understanding, and see you all shortly."

C est pas un manchot le phillou ca reste du made in bay area

[Everflow]

Le groupe va sonner un peu différemment je pense, d'ailleurs apparemment Eric Peterson va reprendre quelques solos de Skolnick à son compte.

[metalrunner]

Apparemment c'est pour le début de la tournée .

Crisix en remplacement d´Exodus pour Lyon et Strasbourg.

[guardianofsteel]

J'aurais préféré plus de Voïvod

Par ailleurs, j'ai pas compris. Hier soir je vois Vio-Lence qui poste une photo de meet and greet en direct au Milwaukee metal fest avec Phil Demmel sur la photo. La tournée de Testament a commencé hier soir... A suivre...

[Everflow]

En relisant le communiqué de Skolnick, en fait il ne sera remplacé qu'à environ la moitié de la tournée par Phil Demmel. J'imagine donc qu'il sera encore là pour la date de Lyon.

Crisix en remplacement d´Exodus pour Lyon et Strasbourg.

C'est chouette ça.

Dommage que je ne puisse pas y aller... L'affiche est belle.

[Everflow]

Alors c'est encore différent de ce qui a été annoncé, on y comprend plus rien : le groupe semble avoir démarré la tournée à 4, sans Skolnick ni Demmel, avant que ce dernier ne les rejoigne finalement assez vite ce week-end :

[ChaNoir]

C´est une tournée Kinder Surprise
