As previously reported, Durst took offence when interviewed by Jordi Meya
because he was questioned about the cancellation of the band's performance at the Spanish Festimad music festival. Durst ranted at some length about the interview on his band's website, telling Meya "since you don't have any regard for constructive or objective journalism, kiss my ass and try to be front and centre at the concert next month".

Meya responded in an open letter, which we published in yesterday's Daily,
arguing he had simply asked the questions the band's Spanish fans wanted
asking - offering Durst the chance to apologise for the Festimad cancellation and committing to giving an extra special show at forthcoming Spanish dates.

Durst hit back again yesterday, writing on his website: "First off, let me say our fans in Spain are in for a treat big-time and that comes right from us. Secondly, we'd like to put a call out to any other serious journalist in Spain who would like to do a real interview with us, but to you [ie Jordi] I say 'no thanks' and I'd rather kick your fake ass. Anyone interested should contact our Universal reps in Spain."

He continued: "No one will know what was really said in our conversation and
the negative energy you poured out over the phone to provoke me in the first
place. Only you and I will know. As for your clever twist on our conversation, I'm sure a lot of your readers and many others will believe in what you say and once again be misled by the press, but that's life and I am fine with that. Go ahead and respond because this is when the 'big asshole rock star' helps a 'little ol' nobody' like you get a 'break,' right? And when you're done, get over it and get some balls. Preach on baby. They're listening. Peace."

In quick response Meya last night published the following open letter;

"Dear Fred, I was really close to not writing this reply at all because this
is getting really lame, but since you started this pathetic soap opera I think I have the right to give my last word on it. You seem to forget that our conversation was taped, so if you allow me we can post an MP3 of it and let people judge from themselves (there's already a transcription of it on www.rocksound.es). And let that be it. Maybe some people will perceive my "negative attitude" and maybe some will think you acted like a "big asshole
rock star". Who cares? I just hope your shows in Spain are as great as your
fans deserve them to be. Oh, and it's not about balls, it's about brain. Peace. Jordi Meya."
