To Σάββατο 16 Φεβρουαρίου ο κιθαρίστας των Bury Your Dead Eric Ellis έπεσε θύμα ένοπλης ληστείας στο Milwaukee και σύμφωνα με τοπική εφημερίδα έγιναν τα εξής:
"A 23-year-old member of the band, Bury Your Dead, was sitting in a car at 12:30 a.m. when he was held up by five men, two with guns, police said. The band member, who was not identified, handed over a bag of jewelry (σ.σ.: ?!?!!?), and the robbers fled from the lot, near N. 24th St. and W. Wisconsin Ave.
The musician gave chase and caught up with the robbers but was kicked by them, suffering a cut to the head, police said.
No one was arrested and police did not release a detailed description of the suspects."
Χτες όμως οι Bury Your Dead εξέδωσαν μια πολύ xTUFFx ανακοίνωση όπου είπαν τα εξής:
"On Saturday night, February 16th, Bury Your Dead guitarist Eric Ellis was a victim of a random attack by six individuals following the band's set at The Rave in Milwaukee, WI. Eric was held at gunpoint while the men hit him multiple times with a baseball bat and hammer. Previous reports of a robbery are false, as the Milwaukee police department has classified it as a "gang initiation." Despite suffering what others would consider serious injuries, Eric and the rest of Bury Your Dead will move forward and continue with their tour alongside Hellyeah and take that into their headlining run with Emmure, The Warriors, and With Blood Comes Cleansing. It will take more than this to stop Bury Your Dead, we'll see you soon."
Αν θέλετε την άποψη μου πάντως, μάλλον ήταν νευριασμένοι fans που άκουσαν το νέο κομμάτι στο Myspace τους.
