Watch them cancel the USA one. I am starting to lose faith in them. Pretty  
sad for a fan that has liked them for over 25 years.

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.
