I'm amazed at how most of you just jump on the HATE-BFMV-bandwagon without thinking twice about it. Not that they're my favourite band or anything, but they do have some decent songs and some decent riffs and should be treated as humans. Even if they play metalcore (which seems to be hated by all). I mean, ok, so from a strategic perspective, it wasn't all that smart to rant like Mr. Tuck, but I guess any of you sad fucks would've thought the same in his situation. Regardless of what brand of music you play you deserve respect. The difference between him and you is that he had the guts to be honest about it. Too bad he apologized later, thus coming off as scared to be dropped of tour (what subsequently seems to have happened).
The fact that this sad little worm makes terrible music is only part of the reason I hate him and his shitty band. As Ken says, it comes down to repect and delusion (on his part). I've read interviews with BFMV and each and every one of them comes across as a snotty, arogant little fuck that doesn't relaise just how lucky they are. They seem to think they are actually in the position they are in because of their music and not because they are a Metalcore band in the right place at the right time (again, referencing Ken - they play under a differnet name for years and finally get signed when they jump on the US 'core bandwagon) and because they have the image down.
This outburst just reeks of unjustifed arrogance - who does this little wank think he is? I'm no Rob zombie fan, but I know the man has earned his place through a lot of hard work - not by whoring himself to whatever style is selling records to mallgoths.
