PAIN On Leipzig Beatdown: 'What Happened Has Nothing To Do With Germany'
 PAIN members Peter Tägtgren (guitar/vocals), Johan Husgafvel (bass) and David Wallin (drums) were assaulted last night (Friday, February 22) in Leipzig, Germany during a day off on the band's European tour as the support act for NIGHTWISH. As a result, the group was forced to cancel tonight's concert in Leipzig, with possible further cancellations to follow.
Commented Wallin: "We arrived here [in Leipzig] yesterday and three of us spent the evening of our day off at some local bars. When we had enough we walked out on the street to find a taxi back to the bus and three assholes decided to kick us down and hit me in the head with a wine bottle. Some guy who recognized us helped us in his car to a nearby hospital. Peter's got a really black eye and was given 10 stitches on his cheek. I have a concussion, eight stitches on the side of my head and glass in my hands. Johan has a broken nose and bruses all over. We're really sorry for canceling tonight's show but it just wasn't possible. We're gonna do our best to get back in the saddle again and continue the tour without further interruption. Everything tastes better with blood in your mouth."
PAIN members Peter Tägtgren (guitar/vocals), Johan Husgafvel (bass) and David Wallin (drums) were assaulted Friday night (February 22) in Leipzig, Germany during a day off on the band's European tour as the support act for NIGHTWISH. As a result, the group was forced to cancel Saturday's concert in Leipzig, but the bandmembers quickly picked themselves up and were back on stage on Sunday.
"We did the best we could," Tägtgren said of the post-attack gig, according to Sweden's The Local.
"We were the wrong people at the wrong place at the wrong time," explained Peter, who required ten stitches for cuts to his face.
As it was their day off, the singer, Husgafvel and Wallin spent the evening at some local bars.
While they were walking down the street looking for a taxi, three men attacked them from behind.
"Sometimes things like this happen. We have no idea who they were, but it was really dodgy," Tägtgren told The Local.
The bandmembers, who were taken completely by surprise, were left severely beaten and bruised.
Afterwards a passerby recognized them and drove them to the hospital.
Husgafvel suffered a broken nose and Wallin, who was hit in the head with a wine bottle, ended up with concussion and stitches to the side of his head.
"The body gets a shock. Johan is full of kicks and bruises. David and I are dizzy as hell," Tägtgren told The Local.

"First of all, this is the last [statement] that will mention last Friday's mishap. We've got a lot of messages and read tons of comments on the Internet. Some good, some bad. And we would like to point out that what happened has nothing to do with Germany. These fuckers that jumped us exist in every country. We were just at the wrong place in the wrong time. We never spoke to them so they couldn't have known that we were from another country. Right now we're just glad that things went so 'well' so that we can continue the tour. If we would have been sober or if we would have known that they were coming I'm sure that I wouldn't have been able to write this [message] right now. Thanks for all your nice coments, but as I wrote before this is behind us and now it's just almost full speed ahead. Everything tastes better with stitches!"

PAIN's video for the track "Zombie Slam" is available for viewing at this location. The clip was shot in February 2007 in Los Angeles by Ralf Strathmann. Ralf previously worked as a director for artists like CHILDREN OF BODOM, APOCALYPTICA and SOILWORK. He is also a photographer for such bands as H.I.M., AEROSMITH and BLINK 182, to name but a few.

Гопники национальности не имеют, равно как и столкнуться с подобными отбросами, как видим, могут и не только простые смертные.
PS: "Боль" испытала боль.
5+ за последнюю фразу.
Питеру с Йоханом надо было отм*дохать этих ублюдков! Видно они просто были уже не в состоянии ....
Парни, выздоравливайте скорее! И приезжайте лучше еще к нам в Россию!
Да и бороться нереально с ними, фактически. Просто Питера жалко, и не только его - кажется, ни одного неформала эта участь не минула полностью. Грубо говоря - нужно действительно поднимать общий культурный уровень.
Если что-то хочешь изменить - начинать нужно с себя первоочередно и с тех, кто от тебя зависим. Иных путей нет и быть не может.
Человек ценен, люди же как таковые в своем принципе пока более чем презрения не заслужили никогда.
Воистину в каждой стране есть свой генетический мусор.
Я аж не поверил сразу, когда утром прочитал здесь эту новость. Слов нет, одни эмоции. Скорейшего им выздоровления.
Уличных инцидентов там вообще в разы меньше чем в Европе, к слову.
Речь об общем менталитете и горячности, что у американцев заперто изначально жизненными принципами о праве и общей пассивностью. В Британии, допустим, табло на улице разбивается запросто, есть даже некторое определение и течение уличного хулиганья, где в принцип положена "беспричинность и внезапность".
В Америке же при всем возможном своем старании и наглости ты врят ли выпросишь сдачи. И суть вовсе не в культуре и прочем, а в природе крови.
Так что эти стериотипные домыслы и вселенские выводы о всем и вся про тех, о ком врятли есть представление лучше оставить бабушкам у подьезда.
P.S. наверно на заднем дворе бара приземлились!
с гопами нужно бороться!! поскольку размножаются гопники кепками - нужно уничтожать кепки!! основная еда гопов - семечки,
отсюда следует что если не выращивать подсолнечники то не будет семечек и все гопы вымрут с голода...
Ребята, держитесь.
