For those who aren’t aware, Islander was recently removed from Warped Tour after the band’s vocalist Mikey Carvajal dove into the drum set that the band was using during their set on the tour, damaging it.

The tour removed the band following the incident, despite Islander being scheduled to play from July 3 to July 8.

Fast forward to July 3, Korn’s guitarist decided to chime in on the matter, where he shared that it was lame that Islander got kicked off the tour, saying:

“Band gets kicked off Alt/punk/hardcore tour for being too wild? Not even a warning? WILD is what Vans Warped Tour has been all about for decades! L A M E.”
