Pain - Members Beaten Up, Gig Cancelled


Pain touring guitarist Marcus Jidell (Royal Hunt, House Of Shakira) has issued the following update on his official MySpace:

"We had to cancel the gig tonight in Leipzig while some crazy assholes kicked Peter (Tägtgren), Johan (Husgafvel) and David (Wallin) down when they where on their way home from a local bar yesterday. They just came from behind so there was nothing they could do. I was in the bus watching a movie so I am totally ok, besides the fact that we had to cancel. I feel really shitty to cancel but there was no way we could play today [23 Febr.]. I hope we will be able to be on stage tomorrow [24 Febr.] but I am not sure. But the guys are in a good mood and are working on recovering. Today we will sleep in a hotel and I'll try to make our heroes feel a little bit better."

Pain are currently on the road in Europe supporting Nightwish.

Drummer David Wallin has posted the following UPDATE:

"We arrived here (Leipzig) and three of us spent the evening of our day off at some local bars. When we had enough we walked out on the street to find a taxi back to the bus and three assholes decided to kick us down and hit me in the head with a wine bottle. Some guy who recognized us helped us in his car to a nearby hospital. Peter's got a really black eye and was given 10 stitches on his cheek. I have a concussion, eight stitches on the side of my head and glass in my hands. Johan has a broken nose and bruises all over. We're really sorry for canceling tonight's (February 23) show but it just wasn't possible. We're gonna do our best to get back in the saddle again and continue the tour without further interruption. Everything tastes better with blood in your mouth."

it's outrages...
Me and a friend of mine were beaten up once, by five other guys with a baseball bat. They ran me off my bike, as I was gettin' up one kicked me twice in my face with his knee. My friend - who stopped to help me - got a few puches too. Luckely we weren't beaten up as bad as the guys from Pain, but with us they took our money.

I think the guys who have beaten up Peter, Johan and David just couldn't stand metalheads and they saw their opportunity... and believe me, there are a lot of anti-metal idiots.

I agree.

And no, I don't think it's normal to beat up people without any reason or with a reason whatsoever. I have seen a couple of fights, I also had a family member beaten up and it was just so horrible. So no, no matter from which point you look at it, fighting is not normal by far.

I hate to say it, but this guy is probably right. Pain just doesn't get the credit they/he deserve(s). People are often envious of a band/person who can put such absolute brilliance into simple songwriting, although there is such complexity within their/his simplicity. These douchefags often can't get their mind around Pain's music and mistake their/his appeal to the ladies or an audience, for being arrogance or showboatery. These same people couldn't make anything of themselves and envy the hell out of a music act they may not personally like or understand, but happen to wander in or get dragged to the show. Just look at this ultra supreme douchefuck "jupitreas" whom this site actually posted as the main review of Pain's 'Psalms' album, the starting quote "Up to this point, I always thought Peter Tagtgren's clumsy attempt at making industrial rock had the most appropriate band name ever: it was indeed a pain to wade through this stuff. And yet, the masochist that he must be, Pete continued releasing albums under this moniker, to the horror of reviewers and fans of substantial industrial-tinged metal out there. His latest release, Psalms Of Extinction, most likely wont change your mind about this side of his creative output, whether you are embarrassed to even listen to Pain or if you're a misguided fan. With all this said, I have to report a marked improvement of Tagtgren's formula on this album.
The said improvement manifests itself mainly in the songwriting aspect of this release since the lyrics are still laughable (at best)." How proposterous! His reviews don't even make sense, he just contradicted himself right there by trashing Peter's songwriting and then saying some inane thing about the improvement being in the songwriting to fakely seem unbiased. Everyone listen to Pain and be the judge, this retard does not deserve to get a main review of a Pain album just because he uses big words somewhat correctly. Pain rules your pseudo-intelligent ass, jupitreas!

We do not tolerate these sort of statements. Jupitreas' review makes sense and hits the nail on the head. It's really a shame you do not seem to grasp the concept of 'different opinions'. At least jupitreas gave reasons for his opinion, haven't seen that from you.
