Hi,
This is an urgent message regarding System of a Down being KICKED OFF FAMILY VALUES by FRED DURST for an issue that System weren't even involved with!!! It's especially important for people who have bought/are thinking about buying tickets to FV mostly just to see System of a Down. Also since System aren't on this means we lose all free tickets and guest list privledges so to anyone who had been promised anything like that we apologize but it is out of our control..The full story on the events are in an article below and there is NO ONE else to blame and get pissed at about this situation but Fred Durst and Limp Bizkit. Feel free to forward this message on, the truth about Fred Durst must be spread!!!..System will now take this time off to begin working on new material and their LA club shows that were originally scheduled for the end of Sept and beginning of October have been resheduled to:
11/17/99 Whisky
11/19/99 Troubadour
11/20/99 Roxy
All tickets from the last shows that were cancelled will be honored for these shows..Thanks for your time!

SO MUCH FOR FAMILY VALUES

In a tour dubbed as Family Values it proves to be anything BUT, as System of a Down are kicked off the tour for no fault or involvement of their own. Our story begins with the infamous Fred Durst who wasn't getting his way in a business venture completely unrelated to System of a Down. The main issue of this whole ordeal stems to an unsigned band from Michigan being pursued by two parties. The first being the Fred Durst conglomerate and the second being Beno (System's manager) and Rick Rubin. Fred didn't like the fact that someone else was trying to sign the band..NOW it's pretty much common knowledge in many worlds, sports, music, business,etc., that when there's great talent out there more than one party is going to have an interest and will try to acquire them..Rather than imply tasteful business practices Fred goes for the EXTREMELY LOW BLOW of indirectly attacking Beno the only way he can..This is by kicking the band he manages, System, off the Family Values tour!..The truly sad part about this is that Fred liked System as a band and as people. You should have heard the man rave about them when they played on Ozzfest '98 together. Now just over a year later he's made them a victim and his scapegoat for no other reason than Fred wasn't getting his way.. Most people get over the "I'm not getting my way so I'm going to cry" phase after elementary school.. Here's he proven that business is more important than friendships.. Based on that one can only assume that his FANS are just as expendable as his friendships. So for the 3 million plus people (and counting) who've purchased Limp Bizkit Cds: BE AWARE of those who are COUNTERFEIT!!!!. . IN conclusion I URGE you not to support this un-FAMILY VALUES tour and not to support his band LIMP BIZKIT (unless of course you like being back-stabbed).
