Goatwhore: We Demand An Explanation

Posted by Chris Harris on August 22, 2010 in Huh?, News, Poop, Shamelessness, Tour Dates

So, I know several people who attended Saturday’s Ozzfest in Hartford, and I bet you every single one of them were mostly there for Goatwhore. And Motley Crue, because…well, it’s the Crue, dude. But Goatwhore had to bail on the Hartford date, due to a “medical emergency” involving bassist James Harvey.

In a Twitter post, the sludgy New Orleans metal outfit apologized to “all that are coming to see us,” but offered no additional information on why one of the biggest draws for lovers of underground shit were no-shows on a tour that’s — what? — seven dates?

I only raise this because, on Sunday, at the rained-out New Jersey stop on the Ozzfest, less than 24 hours later, Goatwhore were just “back” in an update to Twitter. Just like that. “Back.” No, “Jimmy is doing so much better after sustaining a sprained ankle” or something like that. Give us an update with some meat, Goatwhore! I demand it! Because, me suspects someone just had too much to drink the night before and was suffering with the sweats and shit. I have been there.

Or, he ate something gnarly on the Ozzfest and was shitting and hurling all day. Either way, I want to know — for all of my Connecticut brethren who forked over a decent dime to see you and only you — what the fuck happened, dudes? “Back?” Come on, we need more than that. We live in the information age, guys. Give it!
