We reported last week that frontman Jaz Coleman canceled off The Cult tour with some snarky Facebook remarks. I gotta hand it to the Killing Joke singer. I agree with him that The Cult are a bunch of knobs, it was a cool punk rock move to jet off of them. Perhaps not the most professional of moves but who really cares at this point. Should I feel bad for the other members of Killing Joke or the fans? Dunno, but I don't.
The best part is he basically disappeared. Oh how the people worried. No need apparently he was in the Western Sahara working on some solo projects. Basically another 'fuck you' to friends fans and family. Would you expect anything else?
I've been finishing my book and writing the score for my new project – (The Nirvana Symphonic) – (laughs), what's all the fuss about then?"
Well cryptic messages and sudden disappearances will generally get some attention. Coleman claims no knowledge of the Facebook posting. So then that leads us to believe that he literally just disappeared from the tour? I think he is having a good time at our expense and I happen to find it fantastic.
The word spread like wildfire and it Jaz almost became urban legend in a month he was in New Zealand and Memphis and Cairo- more press than he has gotten in years all for a silly Facebook prank that he has chosen to deny. I say right on Jaz- well played.
all abusers are selfish, and if he was able to destroy the lived of those in his wake- then those people put too much responsibility on him. Perhaps they that is why he takes off. He doesnt want the liability of those dependant on him.
and if my publicity wasnt deserving of the oxygen- was a response to it worthy?
Regardless, Mr. Sheeite- thank you for your comment, Im sorry for your bad experiences(or rumours there of)with Coleman- but thats the rebellion of rock and roll.
Jaz is a selfish abuser of peeople’s friendship and hospitality.
He has no friends. People are as bits of citrus fruit to him. He squeezes them until they are a mere husk and disposes of the carcass.
He did this self same thing exactly 30 years ago and destroyed lives in the wake of his foul dust.
He does not deserve the oxygen of your publicity.
There must be very little other news of consequence about!
