PRIMAL FEAR bassist Mat Sinner has exclusively reported to BW&BK;/BraveWords.com that the German Metal Commandos will return to North America for four weeks, in May/June 2010. At this time it is unknown if Canada will be included. In an unrelated, unfortunate report, the band's website lays out an unsavoury scenario that developed on the current co-headlining trek. After three days on tour, Primal Fear, BRAINSTORM, their crews and respective managers unanimously decided to kick opening act JADED HEART off the remainder of the dates. Apparently the opener pulled a “rock star” attitude, airing their complaints to which the aforementioned have responded (one-by-one).

Paraphrased from German translation: “You knew full well there might be less onstage time than specified in the tour rider, especially since you are the opening band! No dressing room in Barcelona? Tables and chairs stacked in your room in Madrid and three bands sharing the dressing room in Villiba? There was an area opposite catering. Jaded Heart was free to use the showers any time they were available. When only one shower was present (within the Primal Fear dressing room), naturally there was limited availability, even the tour manager didn’t get an opportunity to bathe. No catering? This affected everyone and was sorted out by the tour manager. Set start times in Barcelona and Villiba were 100% in keeping with the rider. In Madrid, there was an early curfew for the Spanish promoter’s disco night. We were informed of this five minutes AFTER you went onstage. In the best interest of all involved, the way you handled these incidents has left us no choice but to boot you from the tour.”

Going on to add: “On a more positive side of things, we want to thank our fans for the great response and feedback on this tour. Last night in Switzerland was a fantastic night for metal and we're looking forward to some more great shows!”
