According to http://www.thejakartaglobe.com/news/article/13903.html:
World-renowned hip-hop group N.E.R.D. cancelled a planned Sunday night concert in Jakarta after band members were allegedly threatened with jail by Malaysian authorities and feared a repeat situation in Indonesia.
According to a press statement released by Java Festival Production and Urbanite-Sinjitos on Sunday, Malaysian authorities had twice denied N.E.R.D. � an acronym for No One Ever Really Dies � permission to perform at the Sunburst Kuala Lumpur International Music Festival for fear the band would offend Malaysians.
The statement said N.E.R.D. was eventually allowed to enter Malaysia and was not prevented from performing at the festival.
�But when they finished their repertoires, all of their passports were confiscated. This is a very bad precedent
i missed nerd, but i made it into sunburst intime for korn. but sadly korn kinda sucked…
the government really loves to screw everything up. assholes, after all. *grin*
damn saddening
noel: Oh man but they didn’t! I thought they were good.
Lex: Reminds me of a Spaceballs skit! Youtube it.
jen: 🙁
well i felt that their performance wasnt up to par. they could have done much better. i mean whats with all those breaks in between songs. quite potong man. they should just continue with back to back songs. and instead of just dimming the lights and playing some stuff tru the DJ machine, they could have done some in between song talking etc.
dont you think so?
noel: Jon Davis kept running to the back in between songs to breathe through his oxygen mask. I guess that’s needed for his growling?
