3 Inches Of Blood sack their drummer and apologise for beating up Saxon
Canadian metallers 3 Inches Of Blood have issued the following apology to Saxon (and specifically their drummer Nigel Glockler, who ended up with broken specs and a black eye) following the bust-up at Minehead's Hard Rock Hell festival over the weekend:

Dear Nigel and Saxon,

On behalf of all the members of 3 Inches Of Blood we would like to express the utmost regret and sincere apology regarding the actions of our drummer, Alexei Rodriguez, that occurred in Minehead in the early hours of November 10.

In no way were Alexei's actions a reflection of our band. Needless to say we were completely shocked and horrified to learn about these events and are grateful that Saxon was still able to perform. We have complete respect for Saxon as a band and as individuals and would never want anyone's livelihood as a musician to be jeopardised for any reason.

Alexei's behaviour was appalling and completely unacceptable and it is our decision to immediately remove him from the band. We would like to attempt to repair the damage that has been caused and hope that you will not think of 3 Inches Of Blood as a band that habitually acts in such inappropriate ways.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and continuing to make great music.

Sincerely,

Cam Pipes, Justin Hagberg, Shane Clark, Nick Cates and Jamie Hooper
3 INCHES OF BLOOD

This made me laugh. I bet Biff said something like "You kids are amateurs with stupid metalcore vocals" and 3 inches of blood got all violent or something.

They should respect their elders, trying to start on old men... gits.

Ha, I would have loved to have seen Biff bash the bop out of someone.

the gig's still on, the dude from biomechanical is filling in. can't wait, forest king is one of the deadliest songs of 2007!

CUNTS.

So that's the reason that Sabbat were on an hour earlier, so the organisers knew ALL DAY that the sets would be pulled forward, but didn't announce anything until minutes before 3 Inches of Blood's set was due

Yeah, I missed Sabbat at Hard Rock Hell because they were playing when 3IoB were supposed to be (so I wasn't there), I didn't find out until I went to go and see Sabbat and they'd already played. Bastard organisers.

Had exactly the same problem mate. Fucking well unhappy at the time.
Fortunately a quick hotfoot to watch Raven and I was a happy bunny.
It was the most ridiculously beer and chips, high pitched, early 80s metal stylee
thing I have ever seen. I was grinning from ear to ear.

3iob were awesome last night, especially given that the biomechanical dude only had 4 hours to rehearse with 'em. well played dudes

So what was Hard Rock Hell like? I've heard some rather poor reports from it...
