Hello from The Woods!
Something I´d like to say, for all who it may concern.
Few weeks ago I got news about my health condition, with was not good. It still is not. Infernal head pains, memory lost, going to Other Dimensions, that kind of things had been on for a while.
It seemed out that I have two tumors in my head, more followed elsewhere. Or otherwise. But there They are. Care is going to start within few days, but they said that those Things are not going go away. Those weaken my condition all the time and at The End end me To The Land Of The Dead. When? No one knows, but that will happen. At least most propably scenario is that. So.
GLOOMY GRIM is going to at hibernate state. GG is not dying. GG never will.
As will not Agathon. Agathon is Eternal, He lives in everybody of us. Hidden or Living. The Mist in the morning. Purity, Beauty and Freedom, Pure Animal, thats who He is. Saviour. Eternal, since Always Been. We have always been together, but apart. Now my only aim is to get myself at the state, where We can be together as One.
I have material enough for full GLOOMY GRIM album, but have to see, if there is time/interest to do/release them. I´ll give stuff to my band members and if Time runs out and I do not personally participate, maybe other Agathon can fullfill vocal parts. I don´t know. But plan still is, that new material is going to be made. Plan is also to do one beforehand planned gig. Have to see what happens.
GLOOMY GRIM has been great enjoyment for me, actually It has been all my life for me. Seems that many other people have enjoyed it too. Thats great and I Salute You All.
But still mostly I´d like to thank all band members who have involved during this 24 year trip. They have done lots of work to fullfill my Vision about Perfect Band. Horror Movie Music with Metal. Most Gloomiest band in the world. That was the plan at -95. I don´t know how I can balance their efforts. Thank You! Awesome people!
But all in all. My Obscure Metamorphosis is going to continue to the next Level, No Fear, No Pain, just ancxiusly looking what is waiting at The Other Realms.
I have had great life. Today I go to sauna, take few beers and wait what comes up. Tomorrow might not come. But maybe it will.
Life?

merci foule fête a écrit:Le Hellfest ouvre un bar à Paris: https://www.ouest-france.fr/festivals/hellfest/hellfest-un-bar-ouvre-paris-6596174

Pas de concerts au programme, les riverains sont hostiles et si le succès est au rendez-vous, d'autres bars du même type pourraient ouvrir ailleurs.

Ou comment tuer les bars metals "indépendant"
j'en veux pas à Lille en tout cas
Quand tu regardes sur FB les commentaires sur cette ouverture ça fait peur, ça fait un peu le bar "bête de foire" ou va falloir aller pour être à la page

Joey Kramer a écrit:Kramer's statement in full:

"Ever since I was 14 years old, I had a set of drumsticks in my hand and a passion to create music. Being prohibited from playing with a band that I have given 50 years of my life to supporting, is beyond devastating.

"This is not about money. I am being deprived of the opportunity to be recognized along with my peers, for our collective, lifetime contributions to the music industry. Neither the MusiCares' Person of the Year Award nor the Grammys' Lifetime Achievement honors can ever be repeated.

"The fact that I would be asked to audition for my own job, demonstrate that I can play at 'an appropriate level' and play better than my temporary fill-in with a moving target of made-up standards is both insulting and upsetting. Other band members and their lawyers will likely attempt to disparage my playing and claim that I am unable to play the drums right now. Nothing could be further from the truth. I did everything they asked — jumped through hoops and made both a recording of playing along solo to a recent live recording of the band — one I had never heard before, and that process was videotaped. But I did it, and I did it well. In AEROSMITH's 50-year history, no other band member has ever been subjected to this scrutiny let alone be asked to audition for his own job!

"I hope our fans can understand that all I'm trying to do is get back to playing with the band that they love — and that's AEROSMITH with all five original members. The greatest magic and success of AEROSMITH happens when all the band’s founding members are together in the house. To be removed from my rightful place on stage to celebrate our success — a success that acknowledges my own life's work, is just plain wrong."

Aerosmith a écrit:"Joey Kramer is our brother; his wellbeing is of paramount importance to us. However he has not been emotionally and physically able to perform with the band, by his own admission, for the last 6 months. We have missed him and have encouraged him to rejoin us to play many times but apparently he has not felt ready to do so."

The statement continues: "Joey has now waited until the last moment to accept our invitation, when we unfortunately have no time for necessary rehearsals during Grammys week. We would be doing a disservice to him, to ourselves and to our fans to have him play without adequate time to prepare and rehearse. Compounding this, he chose to file a lawsuit on the Friday night of the holiday weekend preceding the Grammys with total disregard for what is our limited window to prepare to perform these important events. Given his decisions he is unfortunately unable to perform but of course we have invited him to be with us for both the Grammys and our MusiCares honor. We are bonded together by much more than our time on stage."

Joey Kramer a écrit:Earlier today, Kramer issued the following statement:

"Although I'm extremely disappointed by the Judge's ruling today, I respect it. I knew filing a lawsuit was a bit of an uphill battle considering that the corporate documents don't reference any process for a band member returning from an injury or illness. However, the band waited until January 15th to tell me that they weren't letting me play at the awards ceremonies this week. I can hold my head high knowing that I did the right thing — to fight for my right to celebrate the band's success that I have dedicated the better part of my life to helping build.

"The truth speaks for itself. Ever since I injured my foot last August and went through many hours of physical therapy to heal, not once did the band in its entirety offer to rehearse with me. That is a fact. I was also sent the full rehearsal schedule on January 18th and flew to LA the next day to rehearse and have many texts and emails stating the band can't wait for my return. That's also a fact. When I showed up to rehearse, I was greeted by two security guards who prohibited me from entering.

"The band's offer to allow me to participate in this week's MusiCares and Grammy celebrations for red carpet photo ops only, is appreciated; however, with a fill-in drummer playing on stage at two events honoring our collective musical contributions, it is extremely hurtful to me. I am a professional musician who is eager to return to my rightful place with AEROSMITH.

"I want to thank my fans for the incredible outpouring of support and for sharing my goal of taking my place on stage as one of the five founding members of AEROSMITH and continuing to play the music I love."
