Orgy is back for its (like everyone else these days) reunion tour. So far, it has been nothing but backlash and bickering since vocalist Jay Gordon decided to go ahead with the reunion plans, minus other original members. Its being regarded as an 'Axl Rose' moment.
Gordon has the following to say via Facebook:
"I'm not saying I wouldn't consider playing with the all original lineup at some point, and there has been correspondence between the [other] original members and myself. This situation is a good thing, and not intended to piss anyone off or anything." He added, "I have spoken to [fellow original ORGY members] Amir [Derakh, guitar] and Bobby [Hewitt, drums] about the situation, and neither seemed to be angry in any way. Bobby is making movies, and Amir and Ry [Ryan Shuck, guitar] are doing JULIEN-K. I am friends with all of the ORGY cast, so please don't trip. I will keep everyone posted as I know more. Thanks for being UNDERSTANDING..."
Of course there has to be two sides to the story, which guitarist Amir Derakh rebuttled on Facebook as well:
"Ryan and I have both discussed recently with a booking agent representing a possible ORGY tour that we wanted to be a part of it. We only had two conditions: 1) To have AS MANY of the original members involved as possible, and 2) That Lou Gordon [Jay Gordon's father] not be involved.
"We have always stated that we are only interested in doing a reunion under these conditions. We are all grownups here and can do this ourselves. Ryan and I have stated MANY times that we will MAKE TIME to do this! I don't understand why this is still being used an an excuse. If this is planned out properly, we can do it, people! Really!
"Honest truth is they don't want us to be a part of it...
"I also reached out last weekend by text message to Jay to try and set up a phone call for us to talk. I got a very long message on Facebook instead. Jay asked me not to re-post any of it and I am respecting his request."
Looks like this reunion tour is off to a great start! haha

UK's Bring Me The Horizon are at it once again with audience members. Guitarist Jona Weinhofen got into it with an audience member, prompting him to break his hand. You can check out the photo via Twitter.
Good job security and smart move for a guitarist to break one of his assets. Not sure how and why the fight broke out (something about wanting to hear more Machine Head vs BMTH) but either way, just another fight in the books:

Like Moths to Flames have released their entire new LP "When We Don't Exist" via YouTube for your listening pleasure. Follow the link to take a listen!
