Jim Malone from ARSIS explains tour cancellations[views:11130][posts:15]__________________________________ [Mar 18,2009 2:30pm - brian_dc ""] Arsis guitar player Jim Malone has issued a statement regarding the band's recent tour cancellations, including the current Carcass tour. Here you go: "I owe more than a few people an apology at this time. Over the past few months Arsis has had to drop off two tours and the fault lies on my shoulders. Those who know me know that moderation is a concept that I am not familiar with. Ever since my late teens, I have moved from one self-destructive behavior to another and it has finally taken its toll on my body and mind. I seem to take everything I do to an unhealthy extreme. This leads us to the reason for dropping off tours with both The Faceless and Carcass. "Without going into too many details, let's just say that there is no healthy way lose 100 pounds in 4 months, as I did late last year. To say that I have been dealing with some issues would be an understatement. These issues have not only affected the basic functions of my body, but also my mood and ability to make rational decisions. Fortunately, I have many supportive people in my life and I have been taking strides to get things back under control. I have been making my best effort as of late and I feel stronger everyday. I think I will come out this a wiser person and be able to run my life better than ever. "Look for Arsis to be back on the road soon with a possible headliner to make up for lost time. My apologies to our booking agent, our record label, our fans, and anyone who has been effected by my poor decisions." Source: lambgoat.com |

| _______________________________ [Mar 18,2009 2:34pm - rbss ""] It's definitely a step in the right direction if he's publicly admitting his problems and that he's dealing with them. Helps instill a sense of accountability. James is a nice guy and I hope he gets his life together. |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 18,2009 2:36pm - ouchdrummer ""] I agree totally. For me, letting all my friends know where i was at with recovery helped push me along. |

| _____________________________________ [Mar 18,2009 3:38pm - ouchdrummer ""] the girl jeans NEVER help. Someone should tell that to Noah. |
