Don't you waggle that at me!!! Obviously they wouldn't not let people in if they refused to pay it as it's only a donation, but I'm sure few people would be that brutal! Also he died after the gig was announced so unless they could preempt the whole accident I'm not sure they'd have been able to give us much warning, otherwise it'd have been labeled as a tribute gig instead... Earache are Decapitated's label after all. Now sit back down *whiplash noise* there's a good little boy

don't you be crackin no whips at me girl!!!!

i was just saying that they could have told everyone, even sent a brief note in with the tickets to explain (i'm sure there are people going who aren't aware of Vitek's death), rather than just sending tickets with '£5 donation' written on them!!!

ok i have a question if i dont like decapitated do i still have to pay 5 quid? I mean dude died and that kinda sucks but what about others I mean theres also the vocalist dude and then theres also the driver of the tour bus and the driver of the truck they ramed into, no one thinks about those people

Yeahh I agree man, but to be fair I think it's pretty budget; they sent my tickets out in a handwritten envelope... Haha. Nah I do know what you mean, all the advertising it as a free gig and getting people to text in on that assumption then throwing the £5 on is pretty cheeky, but I still think It's optional. I'm more than willing to pay it though, as long as it goes to the Vitek fund and the organisers don't just spend it on beer

I'm not giving five pounds, it's a FREE gig, I never even listened to Decapitated anyway, I wouldn't give money for some random bloke I never heard of before.

To just add that after advertising it as a free gig is pretty shitty of earache, i'll still donate £5 because i'm a big decapitated fan and hopefully the money does go to where it should do. But it should just be a voluntary fund where people can give as little or as much as they wish, obviously if your not a decapitated fan its more irrititating that they have done this.

Does anyone need tickets to this? I have a pair I can't use...

Yes pleeeeeeeease I have mates who want to go!

£5 charge now, eh? Decapitated's contract with Earache ran out two years ago, and they've spent the time since shopping themselves about to other labels, so Earache are being pretty magnanimous by raising funds for him since he's not in 'their' band any more. The irony is that Decapitated signed to Metal Blade (I think it was) the week before their accident. That dude who died was only 23 and has a three year old kid at home, so I'll certainly pitch in a fiver myself for that, even though I think Decapitated and their whole genre smoke pink tips. Still, seeing that on the tickets probably looked a bit cheeky!

And hey, five blobs for The Bomb? What a steal!

Only if the drink is going to the dead Decapitated dude's family.
