Subject: System of a Down KICKED OFF Family
Values TOUR!!!!
Hi,
This is an urgent message regarding System of a Down
being KICKED OFF FAMILY VALUES by FRED DURST for an issue
that System weren't even involved with!!! It's especially
important for people who have bought/are thinking about
buying tickets to FV mostly just to see System of a Down.
Also since System aren't on FV anymore, this means we
lose all free tickets and guest list privledges so to
anyone who had been promised anything like that we
apologize but it is out of our control..The full story on
the events are in an article below and there is NO ONE
else to blame and get pissed at about this situation but
Fred Durst and Limp Bizkit. Feel free to forward this
message on, the truth about Fred Durst must be
spread!!!..System will now take this time off to begin
working on new material and their LA club shows that were
originally scheduled for the end of Sept and beginning of
October have been resheduled to:
11/17/99 Whisky
11/19/99 Troubadour
11/20/99 Roxy
All tickets from the last shows that were cancelled will
be honored for these shows..Thanks for your time!

SO MUCH FOR FAMILY VALUES
In a tour dubbed as Family Values it proves to
be anything BUT, as System of a Down are kicked off the
tour for no fault or involvement of their own. Our story
begins with the infamous Fred Durst who wasn't getting
his way in a business venture completely unrelated to
System of a Down. The main issue of this whole ordeal
stems to an unsigned band from Michigan being pursued by
two parties. The first being the Fred Durst conglomerate
and the second being Beno (System's manager) and Rick
Rubin. Fred didn't like the fact that someone else was
trying to sign the band..NOW it's pretty much common
knowledge in many worlds, sports, music, business,etc.,
that when there's great talent out there more than one
party is going to have an interest and will try to
acquire them..Rather than imply tasteful business
practices Fred goes for the EXTREMELY LOW BLOW of
indirectly attacking Beno the only way he can..This is by
kicking the band he manages, System, off the Family
Values tour!..The truly sad part about this is that Fred
liked System as a band and as people.. You should have
heard the man rave about them when they played on
Ozzfest'98 together. Now just over a year later he's made
them a victim and his scapegoat for no other reason than
Fred wasn't getting his way.. Most people get over the
"I'm not getting my way so I'm going to cry"
phase after elementary school.. Here's he proven that
business is more important than friendships.. Based on
that one can only assume that his FANS are just as
expendable as his friendships. So for the 3 million plus
people (and counting) who've purchased Limp Bizkit Cds:
BE AWARE of those who are COUNTERFEIT!!!!. . IN
conclusion I URGE you not to support this un-FAMILY
VALUES tour and not to support his band LIMP BIZKIT
(unless of course you like being back-stabbed).
About
#SOAD
#SOAD is a IRC channel that was formed for people to talk
about System of a Down. It was formed when the band had
only released a demo(s). The channel is fairly small
(only around 10-15 join regularly) and I'm hoping that it
grows. How To Get to #SOAD
First, you
need an IRC client. In my opinion, the best client is
mIRC. Next, you must find a EFnet IRC server.
Some EFnet IRC Servers:
Irc.Prison.Net
Irc.Mindspring.Com
Irc.Cdc.Net
Irc.Total.Net
Second, Type "/Join #SOAD" and start talking.

Due to System being added to the Family Values
Tour, the 9/29, 10/1 and 10/2 dates have all been
postponed indefinitely. Most likely the shows will be
rescheduled in late November / early December. I'd like
to know if they are ever going to get around to touring
Australia.

Hello and Welcome, if you have been here before
you might notice that I have made a few changes, also I
changed the guestbook because the last one sucked...so if
you've signed it before you might want to do it again.
