Cancelled Shows *Official Statement*

[tomEisenbraun]

I'm into that Get well soon-card idea too! :)

checkout the Band section of the forum if you haven't already. We're trying to get cards going for Europe and the US. The thread is called "If your name is Jim James - DON't READ"

Thanks Tom

It would be very cool if we could get everyone on this site (that's active and interessted) to somehow sign a big get-well-soon-card and then send it Jim :P But I realize it would be very hard to do  :-/ Any idea anyone :)?

'health complications related to pneumonia'  In other words ive been partying to hard drinking to much and burning the candle at both ends and cant be doing with another tour. As for a get well card what the fuck! how old are you all oh jim please get well soon as if he gives a fuck what you gonna do make the card at school and cover it in glitter

The card idea is really great.
Can I include my credit card bill for irredeemable cancelled flights twice in the one year? More hotel rooms to cancel.
I posted last month that it was too expensive to travel from Ireland to UK everytime but with blind faith I booked again
There may be a very valid reason for cancelling Europe this time but last time no valid reason except 'PR' crap.
Best of luck MMJ with your new fan base. You're screwing the old one.

There may be a very valid reason for cancelling Europe this time but last time no valid reason except 'PR' crap.

I think this is the real problem and the reason why some people are very negative about this. Let me make it clear I do believe Jim is too sick to tour in the New Year. I wouldn't want him risking his health and would prefer to see him well. But cancellations in the past haven't been handled as well as this one. There have been conflicting reasons for cancellations for example. When gigs were cancelled last summer it was so they could do the film but we weren't told anything clear.

This time it's been handled better. We know the reason and it''s a valid one. Get well soon Jim.

You know, I guess the more famous the boys get, the more pricks will jump on the band wagon.

Welcome aboard pricks! Don't forget to see the band next time they come to your home town, they need the money for their rock star lifestyles.

worship, hate, worship, detest, worship, spend, worship, move on...

feel the hate!  damn y'all.

Actually, making a glitter card is a really good idea.  Maybe you were being serious about that, sweetcheeks?  It's too bad that you're too cool for the nerdy stuff.  You might enjoy life a little more if you thought that a sparkly card might make someone feel better.

I guess some of the more angry people around here are just kind of letting our their anger.  Although, very stupidly.

Like, it doesn't need to be said AGAIN that the boys don't have drug problems, right?  And that cancelling a tour is actually a very big deal.  And that if somebody's sick, and you happen to feel really grateful that they make such beautiful things, that of COURSE you'd want to let them know that you're sending good thoughts to them and wishing them well, and that you're sorry they've been sidelined by something as totally shitty as pneumonia.  

Man, wouldn't we all hate it if we got sick, and people were being shitty about it?  I would.  As though a human being is not allowed to be a human being?

Dear Santa,

Please give Sweetcheeks pneumonia for Christmas. I've been a good boy all year and this is the one thing that I REALLY WANT.

Thanks!

Fuck off, sweetcheeks. The band doesn't need fans like you.

:o

Stop in the name of love.

[sweet cheeks]

zycartrobz its not a matter of  more pricks jumping on the band wagon and it actually seems a case of the more famous the band gets especially in the US  the more those little fans in europe tend to be fucked off and deemed disposable.

the fact is the band has cancelled 4 consecutive uk tours on the run and do not seem to care very much.
 
ive got a right to be cynical as i remember in the summer when we were told a similar tale only to find out  the tour was cancelled due to the band filming not sickness.

if Jim is genuinley sick i wish him a speedy recovery but to me it smacks of the story 'the boy who cried wolf'. people will give the benefit of the doubt but  only for so long.

if they care so much about the fans why dont the band members ever make a statement on the board or make some sort of gesture to the existing ticket holders.
 
you would be pissed if you had lost near $800 on hotels, plane tickets etc on yet another cancelled tour

[corey]

The band didn't film that scene in the summer. If I'm not mistaken, there were pics of them on the set way back in the Spring. I'll look into that some more when I have some time this evening.
Stop using that filming shit. One of them was sick. Get over yourself.

Nah just Bo, the rest look like Gwar under those prosthetic man suits.

[marktwain]

Sorry to all the fans in Europe, many of whom were on board well before most U.S. fans.  I can understand your frustration and anger.  I'd be pissed, too.

But I really find it hard to believe that MMJ would just be blowing off their fans in the rest of the world due to a small surge in popularity here.  I think it's just a really bad coincidence that they've had to cancel so many shows.

And I hope that Jim feels much better soon, and I hope that the band can make it up to those who feel shunned with some really spectacular shows very soon.

Rrrr poor olwiggum has my comments and honesty really got you that flustered and upset at your little keyboard for you to wish pneumonia on me for xmas? Bring it on I could do with the time off work.

 Sorry to burst your little bubble of comfort you currently exist in but its obvious by the amount of posts you have put up on the board that MMJ are a bit of an obsession for you please get a life before its to late! or Maybe you should carry on with your get well card im sure it will be most appreciated by the band

Picture the scene

"hey Jim here's some post from the record company"

"What is it?"

"Oh nothing important just some shit from the nerds off the message board few get well cards"

"Oh right throw them on the fire its getting cold in here"

"Hey man they really fell for the old pneumonia trick hook line and sinker"

"Ha ha ha I know pass me another beer"
