wow, i actually don't know either of these bands, but that's a pretty entertaining story regardless.

anyone in detroit could have told them what assbags the cobras are

I like the Cobras. :(

Khaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!

I've been catching up to DS games I've missed lately. Castlevainia: Dawn of Sorrow is lots of fun. That fucking huge gila monster thing is a pain in the ass to kill though.

Uh, bad news but I hope they move the tour to somewhere where I can see them now. Sweet.

This is how real men shit-talk their tour mates. None of this "reasoned argument" crap you get from the Atreyu / FFTL fight, just eccentric over-the-top crazyness.

wish i lived back east just so i could be a part of the "boycott". help book these dudes shows!

king khan & bbq fucking rock. eat shit, detroit cobras.

When I first read the headline I thought it meant they started the tour and the article was just stating this fact.

Like, "I kicked off the events last night with a stage dive...."

Then I read further.

The Cobras have not been enamouring themselves to Canadians. Check the Edmonton press for a couple of shows that the Cobras were flown to last year. Appears they were more interested in scoring dope and arguing onstage than playing shows.

That said, with a 4th rate James Brown and 3rd rate Bob Log III opening, it's probably not much of a loss for the Cobras.

Well, I think KK&BBQ are much better than The Detroit Cobras. There last album, Baby, wasn't that great. Howver, KK&BBQ put out a great debut in 2006, great followup, and Sultan's Mind Controls kick serious.

I am not one for drama though.

What's for Dinner? is flarking good album! It's like the perfect punk/rock n' roll album. I love it even more than their last album. It's been shortlisted to the top of 2006 for this cat.

As much as the Cobras suck, KK&BBQ are about 100 times worse. worst shit ever. garage rock is for old fags who think the MC5 are as good as it's ever gonna get. lame

floyd is stoked

the detroit cobras are so ..washed up. how a cover band got so big in the first place,,i'll never know.

Something tells me there is WAY more to this story than a popped tire and some sore vocal chords. King Khan and BBQ are notorious lunatics that always pull all sorts of negatively weird shit at gigs and interviews and the like, and have done so for years. The Detroit Cobras, an incredibly enigmatic rock n roll band with a brilliantly talented singer, should have done their research a little more. Never trust a Canadian band.

right on King Khan! the tales of the Cobras are legendary, this really isn't surprising, it's just nice to someone say what they really think of them...
i like the Cobra's music and I like King Khan- Mark Sultan rules harder than those junkies.

KK&BBQ are A-Fucking-Mazing. The Cobras have about 3 listenable songs and now I'm really glad that I downloaded their shit instead of buying it. Long live KK&BBQ!!

I really want to see a KK&BBQ and Nine Pound Hammer tour.

I want to hear this band now

I saw King Khan and BBQ when they played in Portland a month or so back. They fucking blew The Detroit Cobras outta the water, this is the way rock was meant to be fucking played! "Whats for Dinner" hasn't left my turntable since. Detroit Cobras just flowed through a mediocre set, as if "business as usual." It was a buzzkill to watch them after Khan and BBQ, I feel fortounate to have gone to the show to discover them! Come back to Portland!!
