Dear JSR.
The internet rumor-mill is turing with claims of Destruction being
asked off the Screamfest lineup.
The bands Myspace's tour dates reflect this to be true.
http://collect.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=bandprofile.listAllShows&friendid=145563834&n=DESTRUCTION+(official)
The band have also released a forum post showing the following
communication between them and JSR:
"STATEMENT of the Australian JUST SAY ROCK promoter Nik:
The board of Just Say Rock cannot afford to bring Destruction down to
Australia for the festival and other shows. I literally fought tooth
and nail and tried everything in order to persuade them not to make
this decision. However, I am not the owner and I do not fund the
company, which was pointed out to me.
I am personally gutted, bitter and disappointed with the outcome but
am powerless to change or alter the final outcome - no matter how hard
I argued with them. Not helping my cause was that the venues in both
Brisbane and Perth had spoken to Just Say Rock prior to this and
wanted to either cancel the shows or bump Destruction into bars/pubs
as the sales for these shows are poor with what they stated as "people
showing little interest" in attending.
I can only imagine how disappointed you will all feel, if it is half
of what I feel, it is terrible, especially after all the effort and
work that went into this. For any correspondence on this matter
contact one of the Board Members, owners and financiers of Just Say
Rock direct; Tony Oxley. His email is tony@ic12.com.au He has been
copied into this email. "

My question is:
Is this true?.. and if so when did you plan on telling current ticket holders?
I have made plans costing thousands of dollars to get from Perth to
Sydney to catch this band and the others on the Screamfest bill.
I was a little ticked off weeks after booking to find that the side
shows were announced in my area but shrugged it off as a "live n
learn" lesson.
Now im hearing that one of the headliners wont be on stage? What the???
If I didnt see this announcement how would I have known? Do you expect
people to just forget about the massive German thrash band that was
ment to be on the stage?
I mean hats off for bringing in some great bands I caught Amon Amarth
in my town last week thanks to you guys and it was great but JSR you
guys need to get your act together and tell people about these kind of
things...the post is dated the 23/11/09!!! Thats a week!
JSR is still offering tickets to Destruction shows though:
http://www.justsayrock.com.au/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=shop.flypage&product_id=333&category_id=23&manufacturer_id=0&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=30
And Destruction is still on the bill they are even included on the
running sheet... right there from 12:25am til 1:25am
http://www.screamfest.com.au/
I hope I am over-reacting and the claims are false..and that JSR didnt
leave there website online with misleading information and continued
to offer tickets to a festival and respective sideshows for a band
that are saying they wont be there...that would be unprofessional and
pretty rude.
I and the rest of the Screamfest / Metal Month ticket holders look
forward to your reply.
Cheers
