On Weibo today, Jiang Wei, the boss of Guitar China (one of China’s original and most prolific metal promoters) announced his decision to quit the promotion biz.
Recent shows with Iced Earth and Dark Tranquility ran into some legal issues amidst concerns that competitors were “competing” in less than honorable ways. Jiang Wei cites tiredness and a lack of money as reasons for his departure.
It’s always a shame to see people who truly believe in music and were prepared to act on that love quit the business. We wish him well….
