Yet further proof....

....of what a complete and utter douche Danzig is [worked out awesome for me, as there was no way I was staying for his set anyways! Uncle Saxon 1 - Danzig -many fans]:

"Want to piss off a venue, other bands you are touring with, and a lot of fans as quickly and efficiently as possible? Pull the same stunt Glenn Danzig did last night at the Cabooze.

While there’s no official account of what happened, according to the Cabooze Danzig’s set was canceled an hour before the 6pm showtime. It was such late notice that the venue wasn’t able to get the word out that Danzig wasn’t playing, that the rest of the bands were still going on, and that the show was going to be free and tickets refunded.
Someone from the Cabooze also told me that the cancellation was due to the fact that Danzig “didn’t like the place” and the stage was too small. A discussion at metalsetlists.com mentions that Danzig has stage size requirements in his booking contract, and that it would be the promoters responsibility to make sure the contract guidelines are met. The tour and promotions haven’t yet released statements."

According to the ladies, his ego is only huge because he's lacking in a certain manly department and needs to make himself feel better.

if that rumor of why he canceled is true, then way to pull a Blackie Lawless.

I'm no Danzig fan, but I wonder if his stage setup requires a certain size stage.

What bands opened up the show Saxon?

It is not a tiny stage. I have seen bands like the Wailers where they have 11 members on stage and they do fine. Regardless, Danzig could have made the best of it for the sake of his fans.

Openers: Toxic Holocaust, Marduk, and Possessed. Toxic shredded the universe! Marduk was silly. And I only stayed for a couple of Possessed tunes as the nazis showed up in force and were starting trouble and I told my girlfriend that I would not get into any fights.

Hmm, a headlining Possessed show, that would've been pretty badass.

Danzig's a dick.

Why does such a small guy need such a large stage?

Anyway,would've loved to seen Toxic Holocaust!

I would love to have seen Possessed, I still like Danzig but what a turd!!!

Glenn must've heard the Northside Kings guy wanted another shot at him.

Yeah. Don't care that much about the rest.

I guess size really does matter...

Statements released, sort of:

DANZIG frontman and namesake has commented on the cancelation of the band's November 9, 2010 concert at the Cabooze in Minneapolis, Minnesota as part of the "Blackest Of The Black" tour. The show was reportedly called off an hour before the 6 p.m. showtime, with the rest of the bands on the bill — POSSESSED, MARDUK, TOXIC HOLOCAUST and WITHERED — going ahead and performing their scheduled sets.

Although there had been no official statement from the DANZIG camp regarding the cancelation, someone from the Cabooze told Secrets Of The City that the show was called off due to the fact that Glenn Danzig thought the stage at the venue was "too small."

When asked about the reasons for the Minneapolis cancelation during yesterday's (Wednesday, November 10) interview on Fargo, North Dakota's KQWB-FM (Q98 Rocks) station, Danzig replied, "Basically, we couldn't do our show there, but we had the other bands play . . . We tried to make it work, but at the end of the day it was a production call."

An audio recording of Glenn's comments on the Minneapolis cancelation can be streamed using the Soundcloud player below.

Meanwhile, the Gimme Noise blog spoke to Michelle Metz at the Cabooze to get the venue's side of the story as to why DANZIG's performance was scrapped.

"[Glenn's] version was that the ceiling wasn't high enough," Michelle said. She added, "I gotta say, in all my years here I've never heard of that excuse if you're gonna use one. . . . Frankly I thought it was all about rock 'n roll. I had no idea it had to do with the fuckin' 15-foot ceilings. We lost several thousand dollars we're never gonna recoup, between the hospitality, the ads, the runners, the people to pick up at the airport, the this, the that. . . I don't know if the room wasn't big enough for his ego or...I don't know where he was coming from with the ceiling thing. He's too old to do gymnastics, I didn't get it. I can't even wrap my head around it. It's so convoluted. It's disheartening. The whole thing is just sad. We're trying to recoup some of our losses here and we don't know where to start or stop. We tried everything to make the guy comfortable and it just wasn't working."

I would have given Danzig a measuring stick and made him go out there and prove the venue was too short or not long enough...

I didn't need any further proof, I've been convinced that he's an asshat for a LONG time now.

Exactly!!

I just saw Danzig a couple days before this cancelation in Buffalo NY.I got to see thirty seconds of Toxic Holocaust's set before it ended due to Buffalo's extremely retarded parking conditions downtown. I thought Danzig was a joke,his set was way too short (like him) and boring. He's just too corny for me. Marduk sucked big time, Possessed is nothing more than Jeff Becerra's wheelchair Olympics with his back-up band,Sadistic Intent.Every one's entitled to their own opinions, but seeing this handicapped fool chanting "666!" "666!" looked pretty stupid to me. At least Joel signed my "Hell On Earth" cd booklet so it wasn't a complete waste.What a waste of money, almost as bad as that Anvil show.

Never liked Danzing anyways
