well.. they did make around 215 thousand dollars from selling tickets (over 3000 sold), I guess it's not that much of a deal comparing to other countries,
but I'm sure they'll make it through the month anyway..
this pisses me off because I had to my parents a lot for this ticket and I waited for nearly a month (I bought my ticket almost instantly after I saw the ad, I think they worth every shekel [:P])
but FFS, if not for the money at least for the fans
I really hope they don't BS with this excuse, family above all, but still.. I don't really buy this
*bit mad right now*

A boxing rabbit that comes with a pocket(Kangaroo) A Beaversnakeduck(platypus) A"as if the ostrich wasn't weird enough, let's get a midget version" bird(emu) A teddy bear that can claw your eyes ot(Koala) and Jellyfish the size of a pencil eraser that can kill 30 full grown elephants with a single sting.
Somebody HAD to have dropped some radioactive waste in that continent's primordial ooze, nothing else makes sense.

One time, me and my friends were messing around in a wal-mart, goin down sepearatre aisles and throwing things over the top of the shelves trying to hit each other, and one of my friends accidentally threw it over an aisle that none of us were on, and it just hit this old lady, and all we heard was aaaaaaahhhhrrrrrrggggg!!!!! haha so we started running and when we turned around, she shook her fist at us and yelled "GODLESS HEATHENS!"
Funniest sh** I had heard that whole month, and it goes to show what the elderly think of my generation, although who can blame them? lol

lol, c'mon Slipknot! you're able to scare the sh** out of them terrorists I tell ya! SUPPORT YOUR FANS! israel isn't even dangerous, stop watching CNN you bloody p***y, i'm f*cking p***ed that they cancelled, GIVE US A NEW DATE!
But FFS i was really hoping that their gig wouldn't be cancelled! i had both my tickets and sh** ready to go out to Tel-Aviv and be one of the few that would enjoy the hell out of it! DAMMIT!
They did sell over 3000 tickets, which isn't that bad considering Israelis have no taste when it gets to this type of music, bastards.
I'm south african relocated in israel and they never even went to SA, WTF is wrong with SA? it's a beautiful country to visit and throw a gig or two just like israel is.
I'm disappointed!........................ CHRIST! i'm off to bed, thanks for nothing SLIPPY!

Being picky is something, Ive never been....!! Except with women.... well, when Im sober anyway..!!!
I guess, Im kinda picky when it comes to guitars.. Ive never been a Fender fan or Ibeenhad either for that matter.... although, anymore..... there are only a few companies that own all the rest anyway...!!

I am picky about nearly everything. How my drink is served at a bar, my music, my food, my sleep, my writeing, and the writeings of everyone, how my clothing is washed, how things get cleaned in general including how they are organised, my men, the list goes on. About the only thing I am not that picky about is who I befriend. So long as I am befriended for who I am, and not coursed into changeing who I am we are good to go. I also just ask for people to try to be a decent person.

When it comes to people, trying is as good as doing to me. I will forgive past transgressions, so long as an effort is being made to rectify their action's. It may not be over night that they get back on my good graces, nor will it be that they make the effort to be better, but when they get there seeing the rewards are worth it.

Yeh she's much better now, she was pretty down for a while bt apparently she's much happier now. I'm plannin t fly over for d weekend of her birthday as a surprise for her. She'll freak out at me bt it'll b nice to see her. And apparently one of the guys i know is sleazin over her. I told her t tell him i was gonna kick the sh** outta him and he got scared, then he did it more. I told him i was gonna have a talk wit him tellin him she didnt like his attentions. She told him this and he told her that he would tell me that he would back off then keep annoyin her. I'm gonna break his face. Violence is fun. Anything fun happenin in d world of Kali?

Thing is he got to know her around the same time as I did but I won so he should have just left it at that and stayed as a friend. It's also funny because d dude is only about 2/3 my size so it'll be ridiculously easy to give him a kicking. I'l just hav to hold back a bit. Boeing as in aerospace and defense corp? Strange... I was going to get bar work for a bit of extra money but theres too many gigs comin up soon and travel back home so I think it'll just have to wait till after Chrimbo

Yeah, Boeing is the airospace compay. They are on strike, and set to go back to the negotiateing table tommrow I believe. I swear to Satan I am going to go postal if they don't get back to work! They are trying to get a raise at the expense of the local economy!

What the hell? What kind of idiot demands a raise when the money of the country is already suffering from inflation, and the stock market just kicked the bucket?
Sure, you might get the raise, but if you study economics, that will only help to further inflate the value of our currency, by raising prices in order to cover the pay raie, and thusly the american dollar buys less than it did before. f***in retards.

That IS a bunch of sh**. If they were looking after the new guys, they should ask for better benefits or higher pay for "The new guys", not everybody. it's just a scapegoat excuse to hide behind to seem less selfish.
Oh yeah, and as much as enjoy slipknot to this day: p***ies.

I love partying and I dont get hangovers. I had one in my life and it was horrible. The partied ended at 6am in the morning and then i got up at 10am. I had to run across Ottawa to go catch a bus. I finally get on the bus and i was ready to fall asleep until I had to puke.
I run down the aisle and nearly puked on everyone. My head was pounding for 3 days and after that I never had a hangover. So it was kind of worth it. I partied my brain out as well.

The beer i prefer would have to be...Absolut vodka. Hands down.
Although, I generally have to stay away from it, cuz Every time I drink it in large amounts, I get an experience like CMH, i just feel like sh** for 3 days and hardly remember what happened. Any other alcohol I can drink like a camel to water, outdrinking everyone at the party, and the most that happens is I sleep a little later than usual the next morning. Vodka though...both my worst enemy and my best friend.

Actually I believe its due to what was going on during their Australian tour. I work at a music store and we got 2 backstage passes cause we're the biggest Ibanez dealer in QLD. But we didn't get backstage because the band cancelled all media and interviews and sh**, I heard that Joey was having a hissy fit.

Boeing FINNALY back to work.
did they actually give them raises? Or did they take my suggestion I sent in an e-mail, to just shoot one employee every 6 hours until they got back to work? The cost of the bullets far makes up for itself in revamped productivity next season, and the low chance of a repeat incident.

Branded: I'm going to have to visit that site again to see what havok you've been wreeking over there. It sounds vaguely familiar to me so i'm sure we conversed a time or two. Do me a favor, Branded; the next time you see Mcman71 pick a fight with him and let me know what thread it is. He got my good friend Bruno banned from the site and i'd like to push that punk over the edge. Here's the icing on the cake for you... He's a huge "Tallica" fanboy.

Kali: Bruno is still here, but he doesn't post to Blabbermouth anymore because he insulted (hilariously I might add) McMan71 and that POS had him banned for his choice of words in the heat of an argument. When Bruno was on that site it made it "bearable" to read and post to because there was a voice of reason and someone (over the age of 12) with intelligence to go back and forth with. Anymore it's just a bunch of whining little babies and metallisheep and thus not the least bit interesting to engage in adult conversation about metal. Bruno usually only posts while he's at work, drunk, or hungover (or possibly all three lol), so his postings are sporadic. He is also a student and holding down a full time job so there are times when he's just too busy to post or reply.
