read it:


Maybe some unimportant, but NEWS!

I wanted to know if there is planned some Public rehearsal in Faust studios
in Prague, so I wrote a msg to Veronika (Jaz´s assistant) and after some
msgs she called me back, we were speaking for not very long time, but what I
got know from her:

After Raven´s definitive leaving (what is actually dated from Hosannas video
shooting, when Raven didn´t turn up) they practised with some bass player,
who was terrible and they fired him out. Now they practise and actually do
concerts with somebody, who´s not that bad, but not that good as Raven. (She
didn´t gave me any names.. but I wouldn´t post they without her permission
anyway)

She sounded really sad and tired and that time she wasn´t sure that the tour
would certainly happen, or that they will have to cancel it again. I am not
sure if she told me that Jaz has still the throat problems, but I heard
something like that. I think her mood reflected the mood of the whole band.

I am not a musician but I think that to find a new bass player for KJ is not
that difficult as to find somebody who plays other instruments in the band.
They knew for quite a long time that Raven won´t be able to play with them
(or frankly he leaves the band) but they didn´t do anything. As usual. They
don´t care and I won´t wonder if they cancel some last dates of the tour.
They like the Gathering, they like to meet "friends", but who we really are,
the bunch of sheep which give them money for tickets and albums. That´s ok,
everybody needs money, but when they get money they could be more polite and
more open to their fans. I don´t want to judge them, many people here
sometimes met Jaz or Geordie and know what genius and charisma bring and
express. But still they are adults and they fucking don´t learn from
mistakes they have ever done! They should RISE bud they FALL!!! Although
they have finished so good album that Hosannas is!!!

Pretty angry Appo

PS: Veronika also told me that Japan and USA tour is planned.
