Ulcerate Robbed in NYC 2012-05-20 by Alex Newton | 94 Replies | 2364 Views |
Technical death metal band Ulcerate had their van ransacked last night after their show in New York City. A statement on the band's facebook page reads,
"We had our van broken into in New York last night at our accom. We've lost all our guitar gear (preamps, effects units), some drum equipment, stage banner and all of Svart Crown's merch was also ripped off. We're going to keep going but this is a [expletive] terrible start. We had phenomenal shows in Philadelphia and NYC last night so this is an absolute kick in the [expletive] teeth."
In response, fans have pledged donations and support at tonight's show in Boston and other tour dates.

its not like they target them out of malice its just a lot easier to rob bands like this out of expensive equipment than nickleback or something

well that's less than [expletive] ideal
|
| |
obviously they dont target the band, but chances are the band is not much better off financially than the people who robbed them. its just fucked up
|
| |
fucking ridiculous i hate when people fucking do shit like this
|
| |
seem to remember this happening to Portugal. The Man a few months ago in Chicago except it was their entire van! It got so much internet buzz they found the van like two days later and half the equipment.
Hopefully they recover everything that was missing or at least some of it. Cheers for the perseverance!

almost all the people who commented in this list probably robbed this band by downloading their albums instead of paying for them

I think more bands should have faux-security standing outside their vans. Like a big bald dude or something.

You don't fucking do that to a musician
Especially a musician nowadays. I'd fucking slaughter
|
| |
You say that as if they give a fuck.
|
| |
You have to be clearer on what the fuck you're talking about
|
| |
I'm talking about the people who stole their shit. Everyone else knows how much this hurts musicians.
|
| |
Yeah, well I wasn't posing a solution. It angers the shit out of me
|
| |
guard your gear with claymore mines
|
| |
lol....owned
|
| |
oh look who it is
|
| |
Well...[expletive].
|
| |
I agree these guys as well as most bands who don't suck should have a bodyguard or put their stuff ina safe location before thinking this world is trustable.
|
| |
all they need to do is set up fire watch. rotating guard duty of 2-3 hours each so every man gets 6-9 hours sleep. guess they never played D&D or been in military.

|

[expletive], well now I know to leave them in.
|

Reasons why NYC is a [expletive] sucks.
|
| |
Even if everyone in this thread bought their album twice it wouldn't even pay for one piece of their gear.

american thieves stealing from a kiwi band fuck off
wearing my $45 ulcerate T with pride
|
| |
dont just donate, everybody should buy merch and their CDs.
wearing my $15 ulcerate shirt with pride.
|
| |
the actual shirt is 20 euros free shipping worldwide get on it
|
| |
$45?
|
| |
See the most that would happen in NZ would be that the band would just keep getting harassed by kids asking for $2

Goddamn I wish I was a superhero, fucking thieves. I'd beat the shit out of them, take the gear, and sell it back to the band for only half price
|

yeah it was around 40+ in nzd when i bought mine a year or two back when the euro was going strong
|
| |
Fucking dick whistles. Why does this always happen to bands that DON'T make a lot of money?

Looks like I have to by their vinyls now, oh well...
|

"I'd beat the shit out of them, take the gear, and sell it back to the band for only half price"
looooooollllllll
|
| |
still killed it in Boston, even without their usual gear
|
| |
Man, just the sentiment attached to some of that gear if it's not borrowed must be insane. What a terrible experience.
|
| |
@GBJ, you were at the show?
|
| |
and this country hates you
naw jk
im neutral
but yeah this sucks
ulcerate is one of favorite bands
|
| |
HOW DARE THEY DO THIS TO ULCERATE! For Real. I had a few thousands dollars worth of shit taken from me in NYC. That places has some real assholes.
|
| |
Pieces of shit.

This type of shit pisses me off. Coming from Philly though I'd expect it more in Philly then in NY depending on where they were.
|
| |
My next paycheck is going to these guys. "The Destroyers of All" is an incredible album.
|
| |
Who in their right mind would steal from Ulcerate?!
Quite a shame, they rock hard live 
|
| |
Ya, I saw the last 3 bands, and got good and drunk after the show
|
| |
