Tenacious D and Electric 6 both cancelled tours of Europe because the poor little lambkins were afraid to go within five thousand miles of the Iraq warzone.

any other examples of softy lightweight wimpcore bands?

Tenacious D was going to tour Europe? Europeans have worse taste than I thought.

Pantera did during the Afghanistan thing. The Pantera of "Mouth for War"/"Fucking Hostile"/"Strength Beyond Strength" fame!

The D seems to be a pretty American joke anyway.

maybe no one was buying tickets for Tenacious D and then they got Bush to invade Iraq so they could cancel the gig.

matchbox 20 - cancelled at the start of the war, mind you.. why anyone would want to see this gormless bland band in Britain is beyond comprehension.

Lisa Marie Presley cancelled her Toronto press junket because she was afraid of seeing Moby, er, getting SARS

I gather Tenacious D sold out round here as some tosser I know couldn't get a ticket.

In fairness to bands of this ilk, might it be that The War On Terrorism gave them a prepackaged excuse to stay at home twiddling their thumbs rather than plod through their gormless songs in front of sports hall after sports hall of equally gormless Europeans? Just a thought innit.

Moby looks like whatever ails him is a lot worse than SARS.

DJ Mencap, no one is forcing these bands to come to Europe.

duh, Clear Channel

Isn't Wu-Tang touring Israel right now? Supposed to be showing "solidarity" or something.

Killing Joke have never been happier that the apocalypse is pending. World tour ahoy!

I had a dream last night that my band (who's barely played our own hometown, much less anywhere else) was touring Brazil. Then I woke up. Does that count?
