It seems the Detroit Cobras have a bit of a bite - but King Khan is biting back. Hard.

According to a bulletin sent out from the King Khan and BBQ Show myspace page, the band has been kicked off of the Detroit Cobras' fall tour - and it seems the spurned openers aren't very happy with the news.

Here's what Khan had to say:

"Hello children of the revolution.... we got a phone call a few hours ago from the tour manager of the cobras... he said that they are sick of us and dont want us to continue the tour.... the reason? we missed one show in birmingham cuz our tire popped and it took too long to get it fixed for the show. and then we cancelled one show in florida tonight because our vocal chords are blown out and we needed a day of rest... were the cobras reprimanded for cancelling all sorts of canadian dates and f***ing US over? no... these money-grubbing f***ers just dont want the east coast to see us... it's not our fault that we blew away these back-stabbers every night.... what a waste..."

And that's just the beginning... Ouch.
