Metal Sludge Gossip Board

So, I was dicking around looking at the band list for the Back to the Beginning show, as I might break down and buy the livestream, and the whole thing with Wolfgang cancelling came up.

I know it's old news now, but, is it just me or does that explanation not wash?

The show starts at 8 AM Eastern on July 5th. Even if Wolfgang was slated to play later in the day, he'd probably be done by 3 PM at the latest.

His excuse was the Creed tour starts the next day. It doesn't. The Creed tour doesn't start until July NINTH. Granted, it's 16 hours of flying to get from Birmingham to Lexington, KY, but even if he spends the night in Birmingham, spends July 6th traveling, that still puts him in Lexington on the 7th, giving him the 7th to rest and the 8th to rehearse.

I mean, it's a little tight, but it's not like the show was in Sydney.

And I like Wolfgang, so unless there's other tour commitments that I'm not aware of, it just seems super weird to not play what's probably going to go down as a historic concert. Even Judas Priest specifically did a video for War Pigs since they can't attend due to playing the Scorpions 60th anniversary gig.

Did it ever come out about who was “kicked off” the bill? I haven’t been paying much attention.

Not that I've seen. But I wouldn't be surprised if that was all bullshit and Sharon was just trying to come up with something that would grab headlines.

I’ve never left Oz, so I’m just guessing.
As I type this it’s 2.53 on Thursday the 3rd of July.
Would he have to cross the dateline?

Hard to believe they found someone better than Wolfgang Van Halen

Priest is opening for Scorpions ? imagine that
Maybe it’s a rare thing when opener considered better?

I’m going to see Rebecca Black open for Katy Perry slut at Showtime Forum

Trixter opened for Scorpions..that is another time opener was better

Alice is opening for Priest at Showtime Forum..normally Alice would win but Priest better be doing 7 from Painkiller still for me

Rebecca Black opening for Katy Slut better than Painkiller 7 in 2025

I have no show conflicts and I can eat all Round Table pizza I want
Wolfie life is sad and pathetic #fact.i won

Id be willing to bet it is Wolf. Probably didnt get as much catering as he wanted

Oh, now that's interesting. I could see their manager not getting along with Sharon, for sure.
