Sorry, need to get this off my chest as I've been stewing since last night!
I'm quite good friends with a fantastic band called Forever Never who were supposed to be going on tour with another band called Ill Nino this week - Ill Nino actually demanded that they tour with them rather than FN paying for the support slot.
On the way up to the second show in Wrexham on Monday morning, a tyre burst on their van and they rolled 4 times, consequently totalling the van and trashing most of their gear
They were all rushed to hospital on backboards and in neck braces but being the lucky devils they are, they all got away with cuts and bruises 
However, with no transport and gear completely trashed, they had to cancel the rest of the tour and a few other dates too
As I had a ticket for the gig last night, I still went anyway - to my absolute disbelief, the frontman from Ill Nino didn't say a blooming word about Forever Never having to cancel, or the fact that they could've died/been seriously injured! All he had to say was how bad the electrics were at the Wrexham gig! He could've at least have dedicated a song to them.
So I had a bit of a word with him after the show and all he could do was shrug his shoulders and said that they should've been more careful and that he was really p1ssed off with them for pulling out of the tour!
So much for compassion and respect for your fellow man!
And just to cap it off, the other support acts were terrible!
Sorry, just had to get this off my chest
