Goatwhore

A few weeks back, I demanded to know why Goatwhore didn’t perform at the Hartford stop of this summer’s Ozzfest since most of the folks I knew at that show were there to see Goatwhore, specifically.

Now, we know what happened. According to a LimeWire review of the Massachusetts stop the day before, Goatwhore’s James Harvey suffered a massive hematoma on his leg.

It was caused by a sewing needle dude forgot he had in his pocket. Why did he have a sewing needle? Now, you need to explain that, James.

Long story short, the needle was rammed deep into his thigh while he playing. He went to the hospital where doctors dug a hole in his leg in a failed attempt to find and remove the metal shard, which remains lodged in his leg.
