awesome

best news ive heard all day

COCKPUNCH!

16 year old got what he deserved.

I lol'd, also any underoath or Inhale Exhale fans here? I just reviewed a solid album by a band called Addison who sounds similar, and they're not generic nor terrible! Check it!

HAHAHA props to this kid.

enrique approves of assault and battery

dunno how i feel about this, i mean i guess i'd sack the little prick aswell, but it seems to me that the kid utterly won if he got vincent that worked up

either way lol

lol curious to who this "Sputnik source" was

Props to the kid?

He was a rat and was throwing quarters at someone while they were playing, thought he would get away with it and got punched out... Ya props I guess..

I picked a great time to listen to their music.

lol curious to who this "Sputnik source" was

I wonder if frankie from emmure will copy him by doing the same at their next show.

Yeah, because having quarters thrown at your from what was probably fifteen feet hurts. It's not a reason to punch someone in the face.

''Who are you again?
Remind me, because I don't care.
I hope you like this I really hope you do.
I hope you like it as much as getting your face busted in with a hammer''.

oh so THATS what he meant...

Imo, the person should press charges.

No one is above an ass whooping.

Because throwing quarters at someone is acceptable? You can't just fuck with people.

Maybe punching him was a bit much in some eyes, but I guess you just don't throw shit at a angry, growling guy who's full of energy..??.

IMO, The Acacia Strain need to chill the fuck out and stop fighting people and spitting on them at their shows.

I don't follow them too closely so I didn't know about spitting.

But seriously, I hate people that throw shit at people playing.

You think the person should press charges? What kind of weasel shit is that man? You egg someone on, be a total little dick and confronted, you can't back it up to the person you just fucked with, you go and cry and press charges?

You shouldn't throw metal objects at someone without expecting some sort of retribution. The kid got what he deserved.

''I hold your pathetic lives in my hands.
If you won't die for me, you will die because of me.
I pulled the trigger on the entire human race.
This is as big as murder-suicide gets.''

i agree with eleventhsun, you can't just fuck with people. especially at their "job". a live show is technically a musician's
job...

As a shit faced 16 year old, you should know better and not, like Satellite said, throw metal objects at an adult and you wont get smacked.

I highly doubt metal musicians, especially the Acacia Strain are trying to be examples.

That kid was made an example, of the degenerate disrespectful teenagers of our generation. Got what he deserved.

as an adult in a band where people look up to you you should have a better handle on yourself and be a better example. especially at a show. he could of have at least finished the set. 2 dick moves don't make it justified. kid was a dick. he was a bigger dick. he could of have easily said someone get that kid out of here or punch him yourself.

''I am the one who will bring hell upon you all
I'll stand at the gates and watch your kingdom fall
Ashes to ashes and dust into dust
This world is a graveyard
I DON'T GIVE A FUCK!''

"That kid was made an example, of the degenerate disrespectful teenagers of our generation. Got what he deserved."

fucking this man^

If you're unintelligent enough to throw shit at that angry motherfucker, then you most likely deserve to be punched in the face. I have no sympathy whatsoever for that kid.

If I was in the band and had quarters thrown at me, yeah, I'd stop playing, but I'd tell the people in the crowd to make him stop without necessarily hurting him. Then I'd continue playing my set.

Violence is stupid, but this is a stupid band, so I expect it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfZm32tpWY8

That's how you should handle hecklers.

^ That video is another reason why Josh Homme is fucking awesome.

That video was amazing

ILL BUTTFUCK YOU IN FRONT OF ALL OF YOUR FRIENDS

He was able to be funny and humiliate the kid at the same time, without physically hurting him. He just threw whatever (I think a cup) back at him.

Have you heard Vincent's lyrics? Do NOT fuck with him, haha. But Wormwood= fantastic album.

Ya that video is great. But in fairness Josh would have knocked him clean out had he not been sick. You know it :p

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eL1dvdGoOvk&feature=related

Brits know how to treat shitty artists.

"IMO, The Acacia Strain need to chill the fuck out and stop fighting people and spitting on them at their shows."

When the fuck does that happen?

win for him. loss for the fans cause the didn't finish the set. but still epicly awesome.

I AM THE END OF THE WUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRLLLLLDDDDD!

wow they were blocking out the sky with objects to throw lol

How was he bigoted?

best troll ever

How was he bigoted?

I know there was a controversy about him calling the kid a faggot, but that's no big deal.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3Gqsh22DE0&NR=1

And now I need to listen to Queens of the Stone Age, that was fantastic.

wow this rules. vincent is the man

Wow, Dave was ready to beat some ass. Yeah, that security guy definitely deserved to be punched in the face.

Well kurt did hit him in the head with his guitar, may have thought it was intentional.

for real though, why would you even fuck with vincent. he's huge

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3JDTUADdkc

also, i would've reacted the same way as TAC.

The guy was very aggressively trying to pull Kurt back onto the stage against his will.

^ Unlike there music that was awesome on M.shadows part

i can't wait until a youtube video of this surfaces.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBqo1PjthNA

This video shows how vincent is not a person to pluck with.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slSorX4RxiA&feature=related

Les Claypool just tells him straight up.

I don't come to Mcdonalds and throw shit at you while you're flipping burgers.

He seems like one of those douchebag tough guys who will fight for any reason.

prettty win. ps saucy i like ur avatar

I love the double standard between the comments for this and what Alice Glass did a week or so ago.

lol win

Vincent->Beast Mode.

LOLLL, wish they had a video of this.

HAHA, Nice. Kid Deserved it!

Nice Avatar GY!BE/Opeth Fanboy

Worst they could do would be aggravated assault

There's a difference between a faggot and a homosexual. You can be one without being the other.

You seem to have more of an issue with men who don't take shit and fight, then you do with pussy bottle throwers and snitching???

Like I said, no one is above an ass whooping.

Sort of is a big deal.

I'm generally against violence except when defending yourself or someone else. Having quarters thrown at you is just an annoyance.

Yes it really is a silly argument. If you can't call someone a faggot in fear of legal repercussions, than you know freedom of speech is out the door.

Annnnnnndddddddddddddd TACTICAL NUKE!!

There's a difference between a faggot and a homosexual. You can be one without being the other.

lol@les claypool

he was way too nice.
QOTSA: "i will butfuck you in front of all your friends you balless fucking turd."
M Shadows: "why don't you come up here so i can beat your little fuckin' pussy ass you little faggot? come on up here.. i will destroy you you little punk!"
Vincet: *punches guy in the face*
Les: "can you please keep your hands in your pockets and enjoy the show? thank you"

lolol

Most people that I talk to know the difference. I'm more than positive that Josh Homme feels the same way.

LOL! Les is pure class.

He did make the clever Mcdonalds comment. Pretty funny

"i don't mean to trouble you, but could you please not throw stuff at me kind sir? if not that's okay, but i would be greatly appreciative if you would not throw water bottles at my while i'm playing my bass guitar. thank you and have a nice day."

oh les, you're so charming

eternium, am I to understand that I could peg you with quarters without fear of a beatdown?

Kid should have known DAMN well it wasn't a good idea to throw shit at VINCENT BENNETT OF THE ACACIA STRAIN. Can't have kids going around throwing quarters all willy-nilly.

Even if that kid apologized to Vincent right now it would mean nothing.

I'll throw that shit back at you, but I'm not going to punch you in the face.

the kid fucking deserved it. i mean, he's obviously dumb for throwing shit at vincet from the acacia strain. he's a fucking big guy. it'll prolly teach him not to be retarded in the future.

Hahahahahahaha eleventh.

Even if that kid apologized to Vincent right now it would mean nothing.

Josh Homme has people hold some 14 year old while he cusses him out and throws something at him and thats cool but Vincent punches a kid and you dont agree?

Fuck that, I hope the kid has a concussion.

I'm pretty sure that punching someone in the face for throwing quarters is a lot more harsh than cussing someone out and throwing whatever they threw at you back.

Some of the finest men in history have punched assholes in the face.

Don't lose sleep over it. Maynard Judo flipped and then choke/sang pushit and still sounded nice :p

Phil from Pantera punched the guy from Powerman 5000(i think they're called) which is pretty funny.

But, System of a Down dude punched the guy from Mastodon and he was in a coma, but... came out and wrote Crack the Skye, so punching isn't always bad.

The only way to settle this debate is to see who the hell it was. If it's a big guy, then whatever. If it's some average kid, then it's pretty fucked up.

Since they're calling him a kid, I'm assuming that he isn't very big.

not really. if a quarter hits you in the eye it can do just as much if not more damage as someone punching you in the face.

Someone grabbing your balls is a legit excuse.

i'm having trouble following your logic.

Not only is grabbing someone's balls sexual harassment, but it can really, really fucking hurt. Again, someone throwing quarters at you from probably fifteen feet away is only an annoyance and won't hurt. Plus, the kid would've run out eventually.

i mean i imagine if it got that annoying that the kid had a fucking shitload of quarters haha. idk, thats just disrespectful and that's probably how vincent viewed it.

"Can someone please hold that fucker's arm and keep him from throwing shit?"

have you seen this man live? he's so pissed on stage, i'm surprised he didn't rip the kid's head off. you can't exactly expect everyone to do the same thing as dear level-headed joshua homme

His energy would be better placed into writing lyrics which DO NOT SUCK

^^^THIS SOOO HARD HAHA

Punching a kid in the face is a bit far, but he shouldn't have been throwing shit at Vincent. He could'vejust had him kicked out or tell the crowd to bash him.

But then he wouldn't be the badass that we all know he is.

Also, I've decided eternium is just prejudiced against simpleton music. I say that because while TAS is certainly no bastion of hope for the future of the music world, they're still a permissible, if average and fairly generic band. He, however, seems to hold some unwavering grudge towards them based solely on the fact that they're not your type of band. And you can say you're entitled to your opinion; indeed you very much are, but realize that it's not a very justifiable opinion.

In short, stop flaming TAS just because their way of expressing emotion comes off as douchey to you.

Vincent's lyrics don't suck, he just doesn't have the same goals in creating music as musicians this site tends to favor as "good".

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wS-m8fVD1rQ

Kid should have thrown a beer at Vincent if he really wanted to piss him off...

I would argue that it's okay to punch someone in selfdefence, put a kid throwing quarters can't really be considered an assult, unless he really chugged that shit with all his strength; which I don't think is the case (was prop just heckling). There's better/more intelligent ways of handeling situations like that (as we've seen).

But then again, if you're stupid enough to throw shit at a 250-lbs-motherfucker, while he is screaming "I AM THE END OF THE WORLD!!!" in your face, the longterm damage of a punch to your face aren't your biggest problem.

In conclution: Let the retards duke it out.

''Kid should have thrown a beer at Vincent if he really wanted to piss him off...''

^ I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE!!!

Vincent is a good bloke.

^^I bet he is, but he prop won't win a MacArthur-grant anytime soon

To be honest, if his band was any good he wouldn't have need ed to punch the shit out of the kid, his fans would have.

lol at this news article.

Haha I knew this would get posted after seeing the Sputnik facebook post yesterday. Kid got what he deserved anyway.

I don't know why people are defending this little shit. He got what he deserved

@eternium: Are you one of those annoying pricks at shows that does stuff like this? Sure sounds like
it, you've been doing nothing but make excuses for him. If you throw coins at somebody, whether its at
a show or on the street, you should prepare to face the consequences for your retarded actions.

What kind of a world is this that we can't throw things at a shitty deathcore act without the threat ofv violence? What are we coming to?!?!



I'd throw shit at them too.

Epic shit

Shit, if someone threw quarters at me, I'd thank them!

I don't give a fuck about their music, I'm talking about people defending a little shit that throws
coins at people.


and stfu panasonic youth i'm sure eternium can defend his point of view himself. your 'Righteous
Defender
of Sputnik' act is becoming tedious/borderline retarded

now go report me to the mods

731 needs to take his pills before he gets on the computer next time.

but Pit i already took my red medicine

Nice Fugazi reference.

Fugazi are okay but they don't touch Acacia Strain

I'd Acacia slap you for that comment

Our source said: "A 16 year old kept throwing quarters at him. He stopped before the last song
calling the kid out. When he found out who it was, he jumped in the audience and punched the kid in
the face, stamped on his throat, gouged out his eyes, cut off his balls and flung the empty, blood
soaked nutsack against an amplifier. He then left and banged Maniac's mother backstage

would've been better that way

why was he throwing quarters at him?

cuz the acacia strain sucks duh

If anyone calls this hardcore I'm going to throw pennies at them

i could use the money

if i was the singer, i would have picked 'em up yo

coulda bought a coke with that money

I lost whatever respect I had left for this band... saw them on the Cool Tour while I was waiting for BTBAM and they're attitude and music were just terrible. Throwing quarters at a person ( a minor annoyance) does not warrant a punch to the face ( a potentially fatal blow). I'm not condoning the kid's actions, but I think calling the kid out on it and having security or something deal with him would've been a better solution AND he would've finished the set for the fans.

Apparently Vincent doesn't value change.

I guess i'm a bad person because if somebody threw coins at me there's a good chance I'd punch them in the face

the band sucks ass though, no disagreement there

Mofuckkn looooooool

dude i saw TAC when i was waiting for August Burns Red on the Constellations tour. they has the worse fucking attitude of any band there, and the bands performing were a majority christian.. and then out of nowhere you hear 'I AM THE END OF THE WORLDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD' junjunjunjun.

he called some kid out in the audience. he shouldn't have punched the kid, he should've told the crowd to handle him.

So it's better for him to promote and start a riot than taking care of himself?

^^^

WIN AVATAR

I mean, seriously? Because that's what everyone's insinuating. You'd rather have the kid pummeled and beaten up by 20 kids rather than one dude? That's the way he should have handled it?

No, I suggested they just have security take him out of the venue or soemthing...

I'm not talking about you, HuggyBear, I'm talking about the people who are chiding him for taking care of it himself rather than telling the kids in the crowd to take care of it.

Word, idk this is a rough issue. Myself, I would've just taken the high road - called him out and embarassed him and finished my set.

Lol, embarrasing me nor everyone else I knew never made us stop doing anything stupid. It's just made us do whatever we were doing more. You either have security take him out(which would have been the "high" road) or you take care of it yourself. Either way, the dumb fucking kid got what he deserved.

If for nothing else, wasting money in these tough economic times...

I know. I could have really used those for the tolls

I lol'd, also any underoath or Inhale Exhale fans here? I just reviewed a solid album by a band called Addison who sounds similar, and they're not generic nor terrible! Check it!

Shit, 4 of them quarters would have gotten me a bacon cheeseburger from Wendy's! What an asshole!

Kids should have learned after the Corpsegrinder incident.

I'd throw shit at them too.

I'm on the fence here. The kid shouldn't be fucking with someone while they're on stage. But Vincent should show some restraint. If a 16 year old kid is fucking with you (a grown adult), you don't punch them in the face.

Hope the asshole gets charged with assault, that'll teach him to be in a deathcore band.

Yordy- But how does he know the kid's 16? You can't tell me that if someone's doing something like that you or anyone else wouldn't have the urge to split him?

Yeah, true. Some 16 year olds look older than me.

I mean, ya gotta remember that throwing something like that is basically assaulting someone in the first place. I'd split his shit in a heartbeat if he were doing that to me.


And then I'd pay the consequences.

16 years old is old enough to know that throwing coins at a meathead is bound to cause trouble

Apologists who focus on defending the kid and say he should press charges (thereby somehow exempting
him of any wrongdoing in the first place) make me sick

yeah, doublepost, big whoop wanna fight about it

yeah, doublepost, big whoop wanna fight about it

good job kid.

SHE ASKED ME IF I WANTED TO FUCK SO I SPIT IN HER FACEEEEEEEEEE

I'd punch Vincent in the face. No reason, I just would punch him in the face.

..And the score goes: Kid - 0 Vincent Bennett - $0.25

you have people getting destroyed in the pits, and vincent cant take a couple quarter hits?

I don't understand why he let it go on for the whole set (I'm assuming that's how long it was). Why wouldn't he just say something to the crowd about it after the first time it happened?

Seems like that may have diffused the problem in a much better way.

Yeah, I would not want to fuck with the guy. Getting your shit wrecked by Vincent has got to be painful as hell (or an honor?)

Kill Yourself or Die Trying.

I guess it just comes down to how many quarters were thrown.

But seriously, its ridiculous how many condescending comments come from people sitting in front of their computers. Regardless of the music hes playing, hes made it, and you haven't.

Hahahahahahahhaa. Stupidity abounds.

The late great George Carlin still handles hecklers best:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kFi-L_6iIY

dude is a prick, the singer i mean. yeah the kid is too, but come on. their music sucks and the band members are dicks; not just the singer

That kid is fuckin' awesome. Hahaha.
Too bad that's assault, and this this band fucking blows, and probably should be playing for dimes instead of quarters. Hope he gets charged. Prick.

So: Jacob Bannon puts a stop to a fan-held contest simply because a signed piece of their work is the prize -> considered appropriate response.

Vinent Bennet doesn't take little shits throwing change at him, tells said kid to stop(the dipshit, who was dumb enough to make that move in the first place probably didn't) and grants a fist to the face -> douchebaggery?

I don't care if you don't like The Acacia Strain; it's understandable, but the fact is that the dumbass should have known something bad was coming to him for pulling a stupid stunt like that.

Kid does something stupid to piss off a guy, and then is surprised when said guy, now pissed off, fucks his day up? Ya'll dumb?

Gawd does crowing still troll these forums. Does he jus comment with pointless statements to get his comment numbers up or wat.

What a badass

Meh, I could see that. I still think it's pretty funny though, and c'mon, man, if kid didn't know that fist was coming faster than a virgin reviewer, he might as well have deserved it.

what is the point of wasting quarters by throwing them at a band you paid to see?

I woulda told the crowd to play kill the carrier on the kid and left it at that. That shit would have been funny

...VAN FLIP TIMES A THOUSAND! DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE!

Singers a real screwball. Called some girl out cause she was texting even though there were 8 bands on the bill. After he went on this huge rant about how you would only get their music if you hit puberty and were mad and pretty much said, "fuck you" if you weren't moshing.

Still can't get over Emmure's whole wrestler sponsorship what-not 2 albums ago.

That one music video + I could have sworn I saw a heavyweight belt on their myspace background at some point. And I think one of their songs was Angle's intro whatever. The image they put out kind of bothers me is all.

hundreds of comments later, the same argument carries on

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3IN7yJWi21E

Amy Go!

this is old news, let's move on.

y'all been hearing about this OJ thing?

should have filmed it, re-mixed it, and released it as a music video

Lol little bastard got what he deserved.

You guys seen vid of Maynard putting kid who rushed stage in a judo hold and finishing song while he's pinned? Man, that was epic.

The fact that it was the climax of their best song makes it even more legendary.

So: Jacob Bannon puts a stop to a fan-held contest simply because a signed piece of their work is the prize -> considered appropriate response.

Vinent Bennet doesn't take little shits throwing change at him, tells said kid to stop(the dipshit, who was dumb enough to make that move in the first place probably didn't) and grants a fist to the face -> douchebaggery?

"as an adult in a band where people look up to you you should have a better handle on yourself and be a better example. especially at a show. he could of at least finished the set. 2 dick moves don't make it justified. kid was a dick. he was a bigger dick. he could of easily said someone get that kid out of here or punch him yourself."

lol, we're talking about vince from acacia strain. not exactly a role model nor does he set out to be one. maybe in the sense of "yes I will kick your ass if you cross me" not in the sense of "responsibility! respect! and recycle!"

I've seen a lot of little pukes at shows, it would of been funny to see that one get beat down.

I could just imagine how annoying it would be trying to play a friggin' show and having some shit head standing there throwing quarters at you. Glad he got hit.

no care ever

vanflip

emmure

etc.

LOL this is pretty funny though... just got wormwood and read through all the notes and lyrics-- aka dont fuck with vincent

IntoLaCosaNostra, why you gotta be so superior/correct/opunionated?

Enrique's a nice guy; sure, you'll eventually have to come to the realization that his stubble has had more sexual partners than all your favorite pr0nstars(whom are included in his list) combined, but at least








HE'S NOT AS STUBBORN AS A STEEL FUCKING WALL.

Seriously though, whatever. At this point, if you feel the need to judge TAS the way you have been and consider yourself very correct in that notion while still insisting that you're not close-minded, no amount of eloquence or intelligence on earth can convince you otherwise, that much I'm sure of.

I don't hate any of those bands, o.o


But what if I throw quarters?

Cheetor cannot be punch'd. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheetor

By the way, read the motto's for various characters. Pretty amusing.

I don't know what this kid thought he was going to get out of this. It's not funny at all and the possible repercussions make it seem like he knew he was making a bad decision.

I'll never understand some people.

well vincents like 20 something and the kid is 16. sounds like they're both fools.

I guess Vincent cant be a dick because we dont like his music but if this was some vocalist everyone likes wed say the kid deserved it.

Seeing as Vincent seems to hate the entire human race...throwing quarters at him probably wasn't a great idea.

btw, here's another account of what happenned:

http://www.absolutepunk.net/showthread.php?p=72128162#post72128162

I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE!!!

It's k. I too, have lost a cheetor toy. Like seriously, I found it the other day while cleaning my room, but decided to/kind of had to get rid of it because I knew I'd never live it down, heh.

this is too awesome.

I drove 100 miles and got to see this It really was great I was about 10 ft from the kid... He wouldn't stop telling him to f*ck off over and over and he kept making his self noticed vincent was already pissed it so wrong to boo off a band they wasn't bad either they was pretty great ! But he jumped off stage and the crowd pushed up the kid and he kinda bowed up to vincent and well he got hit ... He deffently got what he desirved ... He shouldn't have been such a punk he might have saved his self a black eye .. But over all the show was amazing!

>>Tarron

lol Hilarious :D

Lol, someone drove a hundred miles to see this? WTF?!?! Are you retarded? You might as well have just driven a nail right into your skull.

awesome

[img]http://supapanda.fr/wp-content/uploads/panda_ad.jpg[/img]

nah tas is pretty great live.

I AM THE END OF THA WUUUUUUUURRRRRRLLLLLLLLDDDDD!!!!!!

I saw them 5 days ago on the cool tour, and they were the worst bands there, the same breakdown over and over, and they thought they were the biggest badasses, I hated them...

cool story bro.

YOU ARE ALL BASTARD CHILDREN, AND YOU'VE TAKEN IT ALL THE WRONG WAY!

ehh, the anger thing is part of their 'image'. the kid is probably bragging about being hit by him, like the guy trevor strnad (sp?) hit for grabbing his titz

i worked this show. vincent was very nice and respectful backstage. hes a nice dude that doesnt just take shit. as dumb as that sounds. i spoke to the kid and he was fine, but was only there to cause trouble. we all at the venue had to give the kid the vip treatment because of the hit when he really should have been kicked out.

^^^that's bullshit. it wasn't the venue's fault. so why should you have to accommodate some dicknose punk that's there to start shit?

So he doesn't sue lmfao.

if he sued the venue he wouldn't really get anything

Props because the band is terrible.

^^ i don't understand statements like this... if this happened during a set your band was playing you wouldn't be giving the kid props.

I don´t know,I mean how can someone be so dumb to throw quarters at Vincent??
I mean this guy probably is the angriest guy one coul imagine and everyoe knows it so you shouldn´t be so incedibly retarded to throw something at this badass mofo.

lol.

Time to suck today's dick.

I was at the show and he punched the wrong kid there was a set of twins and he punched the wrong one not to mention it wasnt the kid that threw quarters he asked if anybody could do better one twin said yeah the other had no idea and when the vocalist came to the crowd he called out the wrong twin... needless to say your an adult so the fuck what if a kid threw shit at you be mature just leave the venue they lost all respect from me as a fan or listener of any type.

and also to anybody thinking the kid looked older he didnt i thought he was younger actually...

lol he should of punched frankie from emmure
