[edit] Munky's Departure From the European Tour
On January 16, 2008 it was announced, via Korn.com, that James "Munky" Shaffer would be leaving the European tour 'for both personal and family reasons'.[7] Shane Gibson later posted on Kornspace.com that Munky's father has become ill and went home to be with his family.[8]Munky, however has returned for Milan concert on February 23rd and has continued to tour since.
[edit] Promotion
The promotion for this tour was very lackluster compared to Korn's others tour such as the Family Values Tour. Some believe that this was done on purpose to distinguish where the core base of the Korn fans were as most fan sites were the only real promotion for this tour. Some fans blame the poor promotion on the low ticket sales as some shows were not even close to half capacity.
