EAGLES OF DEATH METAL no longer on tour (rumor or truth)

[thesloth]

Found this on blabbermouth.net  I have no idea if it's true curious if anyone who was at the show can confirm what is in the article.

EAGLES OF DEATH METAL appear to have been removed from the GUNS N' ROSES tour after only one show due to an overwhelmingly poor reception the band got from the GN'R audience during EAGLES' tour opener. According to several fans who attended last night's (Nov. 24) GUNS N' ROSES concert at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio (also featuring SEBASTIAN BACH and SUICIDE GIRLS), people were booing throughout EAGLES' hour-long set, with some of the GN'R fans calling the group's performance "horrid at best" and describing the band's music as "pretty fucking lame," with a repertoire of songs that sound "almost the same." GUNS N' ROSES frontman Axl Rose apparently agreed with his fans, because a few songs into GNR's set he reportedly said something to the effect of, "So how'd you like THE PIGEONS OF SHIT METAL? Don't worry, that's the last show they're playing with us."

EAGLES OF DEATH METAL released its second album, "Death By Sexy", earlier this year. The CD features appearances by Mark Lanegan and QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE drummer Joey Castillo, while DISTILLERS frontwoman Brody Dalle (QOTSA frontman Josh Homme's girlfriend) and singer Wendy Ray added backing vocals on several tracks.

I checked the EODM forums for kicks, and they're all having hissy fits. Pretty funny.

some posts at POSM forums are funny

eg

"Interesting, I had originally given this tour about five dates before it was called off... Now I'll give it three. The best part is that, EOfDM will get paid for all the shows they were scheduled to play. Classless and stupid. And "Pigeons of Shit Metal"? I guess that's pretty witty... This will give more time to the Guns and Roses fans that want to wrap his braids around their dicks and jack off onto the crystals that he using to heal the emptiness in his soul. Now my brother can spend more time with his son and get paid for it.

"Axl stole dance moves from the Devil but it turned out to be a third grade rip off.
He has no groove at all! Cabbage Patch Axl deserves a Tomato to be thrown against his face.
Chinese Democracy? Puh-lease!! Death By Sexy will own whatever material Axl Pose can release!"

im sure theres more..

[Erik T. Rose]

[Erik T. Rose]

[dykwtfya]

someone should have listenend to them first

[ty182]

its amazing how biased some comments can get..

even though this may be taken as being biased, its hard to even compare the release of an EODM album to Chinese Democracy.

considering the fact that more than a few bands in recent years have turned down opening spots for gn'r, i dont think it's axl's place to disrespect another band that he allowed to open for him in the first place.

besides that, i can't think of any band that has opened for the nu-gnr that hasnt been thoroughly shit on by the fans. i'm not saying that any of these bands are spectacular, but after weezer (who shouldnt open for anyone and was doing Axl a gracious favor IMO) was practically booed off the stage at one of their UK shows, I've kinda determined that quite a few gnr fans are some seriously ungrateful dumb fucks.

[Geck]

Yeah, but have you ever listened to EODM? They're utter crap.
