Guitarist Nige Rockett says the former Anthrax man was fired earlier this week after failing to learn the British band's set. But Turbin, who was brought in because Sy Keeler had to deal with personal issues, insists he quit after he wasn't paid what had been agreed.

Rockett told Heavy Metal Television earlier this week: "We fired him. Things never really started off well with Neil. He had a reasonable amount of time to learn the songs - he turned up at the first show with a prompter, and that prompter was still there yesterday."

Turbin responded via Facebook: "The contract was signed a month before the tour, and that's the amount of time I had to learn an entire set of complex lyrics and vocals. There was no time on the road. It was shared with Nige that the only way I could sing the proper lyrics would be with some help, since we never rehearsed once." Read more - here.
