I see Tom Gabriel Fischer has revealed that Celtic Frost was offered $140,000 to play one show at Wacken this year. Turned them down too. So what do you think, admirable or dumb? That’s a lot of change to say no to and it’s only one show be it a big one. Then again Tom has always followed the beat of his own drum and done whatever the fuck he wanted. Remember Cold Lake, many die-hard fans have spent years trying to forget it.
I have to admire his stance though. Here’s a chance to cash in if the show goes well and you know it would be a big deal. Then some reunion shows and more cash for the pension fund. There’s a list longer then my two arms of bands that have done this. Most can’t pull off what they used to, either we as fans are too dumb to care cause hey man they are taking us way back or the guys on stage don’t want to know. So he nipped it in the bud straight away. Should have gone to see them may years ago and tough shit if you didn’t.
Then again he might do it for $10,000 more…….pride be damned.
