Warbringer - Banned From House Of Blues Anaheim
Disney strikes again. Warbringer were supposed to play on the House of Blues in Anaheim, California opening for Meshuggah on April 13th but that won't happen because the thrashers have been banned from the venue because their "name/image/lyrical content are somehow objectionable to proper Disney image and family values."
This has happened before with Machine Head, Skeletonwitch and Exodus all banned as well in Disney property venues.
Frontman John Kevill's response: "So a special announcement from the folks at Disney Inc, Warbringer has been banned from the show with Meshuggah on April 13th at the House of Blues Anaheim. The show will proceed but we won't be on it. Our band name/image/lyrical content are somehow objectionable to proper Disney image and family values. We are not told of specifically why. We will still appear the following day at the San Diego House of Blues as Disney has nothing to do with that one. As the person who wrote all our lyrics, I'm not sure how anything I've written is worse than:
-the goose-stepping Nazi hyenas from Scar's song in the lion king
-the racist crows in Dumbo
-Bambi in general ("Mom! Nooo!)
Remember everyone, censorship blows. Hope to see you guys' support at the Whisky April 30th."

Well, yeah. Meshuggah are all about the Disney image and family values, so it makes sense they were not banned.
