VAINS of JENNA and CRADLE OF FILTH can't play nice on the road ...
Crazy stuff always seems to go down on tour. When English goth
rockers Cradle of Filth went on the road with the Sweden’s bad boys Vains of Jenna, things got “real.”
According to sources, the two bands had numerous confrontations on the Viva La Bands II tour which also featured GWAR & CKY. One of the more serious
incidents involved a fight in Florida between VOJ and CRADLE OF FILTH’S Tour Manager. Bam Margera recently interviewed VOJ lead singer Lizzy DeVine about this incident on his own radio show with SIRIUS:
“Vains of Jenna just beat up the guy from Cradle of Filth
because they wanted to fuck these girls …That’s the best
fucking thing I’ve heard all month.”
Below is copy of the alleged letter from COF management sent to the Viva La Bandstour staff & VOJ’s label Filthy Note Records. VAINS OF JENNA was not removed from the Viva La Bands II tour:
To whom it may concern,
I have just had a very disturbing phone call from Steve Page. He was
physically assaulted in the COF dressing room last night by two members of
Veins Of Jenna. The VOJ people were trying to take two girls in to the
shared dressing room where COF have all their personal goods during the COF
show and Steve stopped them from entering. The arrangement had been the
other bands were perfectly welcome to use the showers in the dressing room,
but that the room was for COF’s use.
First they kicked in the door and then they proceeded to beat up Steve.
Steve potentially has a broken finger along with various cuts and bruises.
This whole scenario was caught on CCTV and was only stopped by the
intervention of the bass player from GWAR.
Apparently after this the VOJ guys then started more trouble with Mike and
again was only stopped by someone from GWAR.
I had to bring one of my people from the Rockstar bus on to our bus to sleep
in the lounge as obviously my band do not appreciate their tour manager
being beaten up for doing his job, by the opening act. As one of COF is a
black belt in various martial arts and was fairly keen to rip them limb from
limb at that point. However that was not going to solve any problem..
This behaviour is totally out of order and Steve fully intends to call the
police and press charges for assault, unless they are removed from the tour
now.
I would like to know what you intend to do about this please?
Best Wishes
FAY WOOLVEN
