What happened to Lordi?

[Burzaj]

When Lordi cancelled their gig at WOA07 the news here clearly stated that they, as compensation, was rebooked for WOA08 instead.

"'It is with deep and genuine regret that LORDI are forced to cancel their scheduled appearance at this year's Wacken Open Air. The band has been offered a headline, main stage slot at this year's Ozzfest, and so are unable to leave that tour in order to perform at Wacken. The band wish to sincerely apologise to the booker, the organizers, and especially their fans for this situation, but their hands are tied. LORDI look forward to performing at Wacken in the near future.' Kindest Regards, Jim Morewood


But the LORDY theme is not over. So we already booked them for
W:O:A 2008 (July 31 - Aug 2).

Yours
W:O:A Team"

Since Lordi is not listed among the announced bands I suppose something didn't work out, which makes me a sad panda, but I haven't read any statement regarding this. So what's up?

Someone over on the Download forum yesterday posted that Lordi and At The Gates are now confirmed to be at Wacken 08, so I think they are playing, it's just that this page tends to wait two or three days before confirming bands. 'The Bones' were on the poster about 3 days before they were added onto the bands page on here.

who cares?

The threadstarter and all the rest of their fans, obviously. What a silly question.

Lordi is stupid and has nothing to do with metal, so wtf are they doing on a festival like wacken. Put them at Sziget or Roskilde...

HAHAHA! Nothing to with metal! Oooooooh, I see, you're one of those people that thing that metal was invented in the 90s, right?

I'm most certainly not gonna get into a discussion of this as arguing over genres is largely pointless, but wow...nothing to do with metal...hehehe

So, AC/DC, Deep Purple, Alice Cooper etc have nothing to do with metal either?

Nee meiske, klassiekers horen d'r bij, en haar afgeleiden dus ook, en daar valt, hoe je 't went of keert, Lordi ook onder.

Exactly. Infact, a lot of metal forums DO exclude AC/DC and Alice Cooper, which is dumb.

It means that you have to count those and its extrats as metal as well.

Although, it is not metal, but GOOD OLD HARDROCK!!!

and lordi is pretty good!

 

[Gomez7253]

True. I consider them metal anyway. They're even on metal-archives.com, which tends to be pretty strict about what's metal and what's not (they don't have Aerosmith, AC/DC, Alice Cooper, Cinderella, Cream etc.)

Which is Hardrock. THE foundation of the Heavy Metal.

Well there isn't really any definitive definition of what heavy metal is, so no one will ever really agree on what's metal and what's not.
