ITP V.015 WORLD APOCALYPSE:CONDOLENCES TO ALL AFFECTED BY THE PARIS TERRORISTS ATTACKS and THE BATACLAN TRAGEDY


ITP V.015 EDITORS NOTE:  CONDOLENCES TO ALL AFFECTED BY THE PARIS TERRORISTS ATTACKS (11/13/2015) and THE BATACLAN TRAGEDY.
 ITP V.015 has alot of FRENCH readers, fave bands, record labels and buddies in France.



The ISLAMIC STATE (ISIS) claimed responsibility for the 11//13/2015 terrorists attacks. .
128 have been reported dead at the BATACLAN (Paris, France) music venue as a terrorist attack erupted  during an EAGLES OF DEATH METAL show. Concert goers were held hostage, shot and executed.  
Terrorist attacks also occurred during a soccer match and a restaurant is France yesterday. 
The WASHINGTON POST have stated band members of  EAGLES OF DEATH METAL have gotten out of the venue safely, as those reports are unconfirmed for the bands crew.
EAGLES OF DEATH METAL are an offshoot of American rock band QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE (featuring DAVE GROHL of the FOO FIGHTERS and formerly of NIRVANA, and JOSH HOMME of KYUSS. HOMME activated EAGLES OF DEATH METAL. ) as the band had an excellent hit single with the track "NO ONE KNOWS".

Worldwide, all of us are shocked, saddened and disgusted at this terrorist attack, the second in France this year (Charlie Hebdoe mass murder in 1/2015).

Condolences to any witnesses  and journalists (media, music media) covering this story, some media videos are graphic and heart breaking.
As a music blogger/journalist this is the hardest story I've ever covered, the worst catastrophe and tragedy in rock and roll history.
Bands are cancelling Paris (FRANCE) shows this week, French borders are closed, expect re-routing of tours.
Security is being tightened here in the U.S. and here in New York.

All the best to everyone in Paris, France, don't give in, don't give up.

World wide alliances have to do something about terrorists.

This whole scenario and tragedy is needless to say very SHOCKING depressing, aggravating and we're really ANGRY.  
 
PEACE...

BBL..
