[kj] Will the tour go ahead?

[FLIGHT BRINGER]

"(a) Personal
(b) Financial
(c) Managerial "

   I would say no. None of them. A simple case of KJ thinking that Raven 
would be available. Sometimes you go down the shops and forget to take your 
money wirth you, KJ decided to go on tour and forgot to bring  Raven. I 
think its a simple as that. If it was down to poor ticket sales then some 
venues would have been downgraded to smaller venues, but no venue changes 
have happened. It it was financial , then canceling the tour will make their 
finances even worse. Or maybe the management arranged the tours without 
doing their homework.
    There could well be a bassist frantically trying to learn the chords 
right now, it may come down to whether he reaches the standard in time. It 
may be a case of Kj having to make the tour decision on whether the new 
bassist can play the songs. Knowing KJ they may think," F*ck it he is good 
enough , lets go on tour" even if hes rubbish.
   If the album was released as scheduled and the tour took place as 
scheduled, then these problems would not have arisen.
  The irony is that on the Pandemonium tour KJ had two bassists vying for 
the bassist position on stage and this tour theyve  got none

As Raven said "Its one big mess".
