A few months back we talked about how SUICIDE SILENCE was kicked off the last few dates of their opening slot on the MEGADETH tour. At the time, the band wasn't going on record with why they got booted from the bill. But, in a new interview with Affliction TV, frontman Mitch Luckner explains how it all went down.
I think the whole situation was funny. It's basic — [MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine] wanted our laminates back because we were getting people in, we were passing our laminates out. We were getting our friends in because we were only allowed, like, 10 people on the guest list. We were just doing that — getting people in — and he thought it was a risk to his dressing room, which it could have been; some superfan could have gone in there and done god knows what. And the situation went from that to him wanting our laminates back, and it was, like, the last day of tour. And we were just like, 'You know what? I like this [grabbing his pass]. Sorry.' And it turned out bad. But fuck it. It was still a fun tour."
Well, I guess MegaDave will never ask them back on the road. While it's cool that the band is still sneaking friends in to have a good time, you can also see Mustaine's position in terms of his security. Who do you think is right in this situation?
