Word broke online yesterday that Cattle Decapitation have dropped off the Autumn Apocalypse Tour after Six Feet Under frontman Chris Barnes reportedly punched Cattle Decapitation singer Travis Ryan.Cattle Decapitation announced they were pulling out of the tour via their Facebook page and Ryan reportedly told his side of the story via his personal Facebook page in a posting that was later removed. Metal Injection pulled quotes from Ryan where he is said to have posted comments to his original post explaining what happened. They report he told fans:
"He couldn't handle the fact that we were destroying him nightly on merch and talked sh*t about us on stage last night. I went to confront him about that and he sucker punched me as I was talking. He immediately RAN out the door and fled to his bus like he does every night when the two fans that are left for their show are trying to get him to sign something.
"We're leaving because we have no interest in bringing more people to the chris barnes show. There was no "fight". He punched me, RAN away and a few people saw it. I just walked out told his tour manager the deal, wrapped up the merch and left." Metal Injection has all of the comments here.
