Trouvé sur FB, message d'un crew de Phil ... Anvil, le film, ils ne l'ont jamais vu ?
I did a great job on tour from March 18th to May 24th, for Phil Rudd Band. We all did our best just because we did our job for Phil and his bandmates!
Tour of Phil Rudd Band was cancelled because of so called "management" which was completely incompetent. That "management" also owes several thousands of euros TO ALL crew members! I particularly emphasize that this has nothing to do with Phil or any other band member. We, crew, were there over 100% for band and did realy amazing things, you can not even imagine about. Forget about "travelling Europe" and all those nice posts and photos. Behind all those posts was a lot of personal sacrifices.
I got calls from venue managers, Italy for example, asking me why band wasn't coming playing at allready booked and sold gigs! They were calling Me! Me, who has nothing to do with organizing of that so called tour. And believe me I would do it properly! Don't even know where from they got my phone... They told me they were trying to reach both, Bellman and Smith for days and weeks, without any respond. Ian Smith and Alan Bellman are crook cheaters trying to avoid from every responsibility. Smith who supose to be tour manager was drinking beer in Spain while he supose to be around band in Scandinavia. Some of crew were paying tolls all over Scandinavia. Even van was hired by guys who has nothing to do with that! Plane tickets, hotels... NOTHING WAS PREPARED BY BELLMAN AND SMITH. Nothing! And there's tons of s***, produced by those two crooks. Smith even came out with proposal - Phil wanted HIS drums! - "we can get some drums and just change drum skins". Imagine that! Band travelled from Budapest to Prague with train. Because Smith hired renault traffic van, which fits for five kids. Do you want to know more? Do you want to know about everything, except band? I'll tell you later... I'll write a book so I can get my money even from that address. First one will be Alan Bellman's address...
I need a lawyer to represent me in UK against those criminals, because I was underpayed even under British laws and didn't get all of my money. They're trying to plant damages on hired van, to me. Notwithstanding the fact that the van was damaged when I took over from another driver. Even that guy was exploited by Bellman who paid him £ 35 (thirtyfive!) for driving several times from London to Vienna, Glasgow and back! Bellman sent guy on a journey without resources so he was knocking in the middle of Scotland at 2 a.m. on the window on only house along the road so lady who's living there, helped him.
I asked Bellman twice to prepare me contract which he refused... Smith was blackmailing and threatening: if something will not be done, there're others who will do it. Knowing we were in the middle of Europe or UK without possibility going home. I got demeaning "payment" for my part of job, which was enormous. Band liked me. Band liked all crew members. They even banned Smith from final meeting in Vienna, because he's unable to do anything. Except threatening and insulting.
I'm pissed off! Really pissed off!
Ironie du moment. Alors que chez le patron, le cognitif a lâché, c’est l’affect de ses fans qui est mis à rude épreuve. C’était plus qu’un concert, c’était une plongée en chacun de nous. Et là, personne ne détient la vérité absolue. Arnukem.
