Limp Bizkit scare off MachineHead

Wed 8th Jul, 2009 in International News

Here’s one for the Don’t Know Whether To Laugh Or Cry File. US metal stalwarts Machine Head have cancelled their appearance at the Sonisphere Festival in England, after rap-rock returnees Limp Bizkit were added to the bill above them.

“In a turn of events that has left us absolutely baffled, the promoter of the UK Sonisphere festival recently placed, unbeknownst to us, Limp Bizkit in our third slot on the festival,” the four-piece announced in a statement. Apparently Machine Head was promised third billing at the August 2 bash, and they’d rather cancel than give it up to that angry hobbit Fred Durst.

“We have regrettably been left with no choice but to cancel our appearance rather than stand for the disrespect and indignity offered by a promoter who won’t honour our agreement,” the statement concluded.

This latest bout of – œmy name should be bigger than their name’ is a good reason as any to revive this YouTube. Thank you, Future Of The Left.
