DESTRUCTION Drummer Marc Reign wurde am Samstag nach einem Gig im italienischen Brescia von der Mailänder Polizei verhaftet. Die Band wollte dort das Land per Flugzeug verlassen. Doch Reign wurde wegen seines Patronengürtels festgehalten. Erst nach Diskussionen und Erklärungen, dass die Patronen unecht und nicht scharf seien, durfte Reign weiterreisen. Hier das Originalstatement:
"After the fantastic gig in Brescia, Italy, the band had massive problems to leave the country by plane from the Milano airport. What happened was that the Italian customs arrested drummer Marc Reign because of the band's stage accessories. Apparently it was the chrome bullet belts, one of the DESTRUCTION trademarks, that obviously set the officials in a state of bomb panic. All the arguments that the stage outfit of the band isn't live or armed didn't have an effect on the over-motivated civil servants. After endless discussions, they did finally confiscate the stage belts and also drummer Marc's deprivation of liberty did come to an happy end. This was just the second time in twenty years (after Peru) that the band had problems at airport customs with their stage outfits. The pesky thing was not just the arrest — imagine the airplane on hold because of that... Spinal Tap.."
