In yalls lives.

This is how you dodge a bullet

Thanks Jom. Hardest I've laughed all day.

They have too many members anyway

7 years bad luck for breaking that mirror.

Sorry man we r gna have to let you go. Your taste in music is good.

haha.. YEH HE DODGED IT.

would be better if he played a large freshwater fish.

They fired him because he's 16 apparently

THIS ISNT A PHASE MOM

THIS IS WHO I REALLY AM

"You're too young to be in such a successful, musically gifted and mature group as us. Now please leave the basement"

So they basically promoted him.

L



O

Damn this is fucking hilarious

Why is he scared?

I really hope it's the guy with the scene hair that got fired

So my asshole band members just kicked me out because im 16.

I really hope it's the guy with the scene hair that got fired

eh i kiiiiiiinda feel bad for him but then i'm like naaaaaah

I mean who wants a 16 year old band member anyways. people will think you're bands a joke and aren't going to think you are BARUUU TALLL y'know??

What 16 year old isn't lazy?

I feel bad for him sorta. I think he should just join a band that doesn't suck.

Hi-fucking-larious.

Kinda feel bad for him if it's something as redundant as his age. I mean, I can understand the issues that would arise but still.

Maybe he'll go on to create another band.
"Hey guys, we're Outline the Horizon with our debut album Lleh."

GOODBYE BASS PLAYER, YOU ARE 16 AND YOUR LACK OF AMBITION WHILST STILL BEING IN HIGH SCHOOL IS OFFENSIVE TO US. CATCH YOU ON THE FLIPSIDE, HOMESLICE.

metalcore/deathcore bassists are irreplaceable
Not

Mimsy's enjoying this thread

"And there just dropping me like that."

I'd fire someone for grammar mistakes like that.

I enjoy every thread.


Also everyone in my house is watching America's Got Talent and fuck that show.

"So my asshole band members just kicked me out because im 16. Ive worked so hard in this band ive done alot i drove all the way to chicago with them to get signed i made 2 music videos with them i do nothing wrong. And were going on our first tour in about 2 weeks. And there just dropping me like that. Nothing ever goes well for me in my life not school not relationships and finially i get in a band ive loved music my whole life and we finially get signed a dream come true and now ive lost that. I feel like that once in a life time chance had finally come and now its just gone like that cause my band members are fucking heartless. They know what shit ive been through but there just selfish. Now i feel like my life isnt worth living im just a normal ass person like ive always been and that sucks, i was so excited to see what tour is like and get to go to europe and see beautiful places on this earth. I cant even type right right now im shaking im so scared and mad and idk its an intense feeling i just broke a mirror with my hand and im bleeding i feel stupid. wtf is wrong with me. nothing goes well for me and this is just like assuring me nothing else ever will.. omg im freaking out. a;sdkjf;f FUCK man. i hope NONE of you guys have problems like this in yalls lives i hope you all live amazing wonderful happy lives no one deserves this but apparently i do for some fucked up reason..
Aug 15th 2011"

I honestly feel pretty bad for him, a 16 year old kid literally just had his hopes and dreams stolen
from him by supposed friends. Goddamn.

If he had brains, he'd get a lawyer.

yeah as shitty as this band is i feel bad for the kid

Yeah, all jokes aside it's pretty terrible.

He'll thank them in 5 years when they're bankrupt and addicted to coke

^lol

"I honestly feel pretty bad for him, a 16 year old kid literally just had his hopes and dreams stolen
from him by supposed friends. Goddamn."

agreed.

i feel bad for him, honestly

i mean it's great for him that he left such a piece of shit band, but still.. he never even got to go on tour for an album he helped write. and to get kicked out for being 16.. it's stupid.

but hell, maybe he'll start some other band while DTS gets even more lolbad than they already are.

He'll thank them in 5 years when they're bankrupt and addicted to coke

He probably isn't very good at bass though

You guys make a good point. I feel for him too.

But seriously his grammar hurts.

so what? he's 16. he's still a kid.

that was to Trebor, not Irving.

andcas I love you buddy but why even bother making a news article out of this one? I'm starting to fear the amount of attention being given to these guys by this site haha

who are these guys seriously

So which one is he? I see about 10 people in this band.

they're easy to make fun of, that's why they're getting attention.

it's not like it's positive attention.

Looks like he's familiar with the home row.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qeGGbYQ6ayg

just.... lol

lolololol

"it's not like it's positive attention."

but really, they ought to just be ignored.
remember the whole don't feed the troll internet thing? well yeah it's kinda like that.

They kicked him out for being 16 is pretty stupid, but it could have done without all the "my life is
so hard I finally got something good going and now it sucks again" emo stuff

you should befriend him on facebook and ease his troubled mind / bloody knuckles with similarly comforting logical thoughts

Do they play live shows?

Nine 17-19 year olds kicked the 16 year old out? Fucking lol.

The entire band should just suicide.

it's how brokencyde got successful

we dun liek dem 11gth graders round these here parts

ok?

News article of the year!!!!

yeah but it will give them notoriety

Haven't you heard of "any publicity is good publicity"? Even if it's bad..

"Experimental deathcore"

I know that's not the focus here, but I lol'd.

if there is a god out there...............thank you.

win.

I would feel bad for him but it's this band to begin with so I can't really show sympathy.

he should start a one man suicidal black metal band

so what? he's 16. he's still a kid.

Thats no excuse for being shitty
I bet he is whining about his age, when it was actually just becuase he wasn't putting anything into the band
I would have owned this kid in a bass-off when I was 16

jesus christ, will people stop calling this band "experimental" and "progressive" and shit? fuck me, ugh.

btbam isn't experimental tho either so ur part of the problem faggot

I don't believe I ever called BTBAM experimental.

Ire is true.

I don't believe I ever called BTBAM experimental.

If you're referring to that argument I had with qw3 on my Ummagumma review, I did say that BTBAM was progressive metal/metalcore, but I never said they were "experimental" or more experimental/progressive than Pink Floyd. That argument was mostly about the album Colors itself, not the nature of BTBAM as a band.

ur dum

Guy shouldn't be too mad. The band will most likely crash and burn and he can watch and lol.

it's not like it's positive attention.

LOL wow

BTBAM is experimental. If they weren't, they'd release their s/t or silent circus 4 times.

So is this band. They are experimenting with shit and making the worst sounds imaginable.

Why have such a strict definition of "experimental"? Quit being stupid. It doesn't matter.

They should experiment with the idea of being awesome again

^ praying that's not about DTS..... haha

Poor kid. This band's a joke and they're headed for some serious shit down the line, with the style of music they play, their image, apparently their attitude, and their label. In a few years, he will indeed probably sit back and laugh and say "fuck it" and be thankful he wasn't around for their crash and burn, but at the same time, you can tell he's pretty crushed. Whether it is a factor of his age or like one of the other members said, that he was lazy or unreliable or whatever, is kind of besides the point. It's an asshole move on the bands part and a shitty time for this guy. I will agree that the "omg i h8t my lyfe n everyting sucks n imma kill myself nao" is a little over exaggerate, especially with the horrible spelling and what not...but can you expect much else from a 16 year old on the internet?

I do feel bad for the kid, but he could look back in a few years time and realise its actually worked out better for him in the long run.

It really is messed up that they did that to him. Poor guy thought he was gonna tour the world and then that happens. Poor guy :/

Whether it is a factor of his age or like one of the other members said, that he was lazy or unreliable or whatever, is kind of besides the point.

Even though they suck etc etc I feel bad for him, that's fucking heartless

this is so goddamn funny. i tried to listen to one of their songs last night just for the hell of it. i wish i could get back that minute and a half of my life.

Who the fuck cares? You can't even hear the bass in a deathcore band

*coolest comment*

"aww fuck he was the coolest one"


lol

If only the mirror cut had been fatal.

Fuck this band!

"While this might seem like a horrible thing to happen for someone about to live the dream, fear not, Dear Readers - DESIGN THE SKYLINE is terrible."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHa!

Let's face it, he was holding them back.

i feel sorry for the drummer who actually isn't a scenefag

Heelaireeous.

yes he is, watch their videos

i did, and he's not

The drummer isn't a scene whore but his drum kit is.

the band prolly bought it for him so he'd fit in more

^ Really?

i have literally no idea i made that up entirely

^ Really?
*Shakes head in disappointment

**fixed

i am totally confused right now

he rolled his eyes in that victory signing video right before they yelled victory records

his name was ethan white

My original "Really? was sarcastic not literal. It was assume you had "made that up entirely". ;^)

And the kid will probably thank them for it later. Coming from Design The Skyline, it's kind off not possible to sink lower in his music career, so it's only an upwards path from here on lol

That one was really hilarious.

That whole article is really funny.

I can't believe how bad this band is.

"Who the fuck cares? You can't even hear the bass in a deathcore band"

Yeah, pretty much this.

If there's something called "ironic Karma" it's gotta be this.

lmao

If I'm being honest, part of me thinks that this might just be a publicity stunt. Considering how much attention was gathered by their clip for Surrounded By Silence, perhaps they're trying to repeat the trick in order to stay valid?

Just a thought, though who knows?

^ It occurred to me as well. I have a feeling this thread is going to entertain me for a day or two.

When I feel bad, I come to this thread and feel awesome instead.

Why is this news?

Shared this on fb and IAmKickass's avatar was on of the thumbnails so I went with that.

"GOODBYE BASS PLAYER, YOU ARE 16 AND YOUR LACK OF AMBITION WHILST STILL BEING IN HIGH SCHOOL IS OFFENSIVE TO US. CATCH YOU ON THE FLIPSIDE, HOMESLICE."

Made me lol hard.

'So they basically promoted him'

Ahahaha

"There is no such thing as bad press"

Tell that to Tiger.

"i shall play bass for them for gold, glory and god"

best comment of this entire thread

victory records needs to go bankrupt

This band is the charlie sheen of bands.
It's a joke, nobody knows it's real purpose, and every unintentional thing that happens to it is strange or funny.

THIS ISNT A PHASE MOM

THIS IS WHO I REALLY AM

best comment of this entire thread.

i'm glad someone posted this

Now he knows what Pete Best felt like

this is true news.

Blessing in disguise

"Now he knows what Pete Best felt like"

Hahaha...

This band hurts my face. Thread is also pretty good.

It's amazing how much attention this band is getting. Be it any other band there wouldn't be 150 comments for a fired bassist.

It's fun MO

that extract makes me wish everyone would fire their bass players just so we can get more of those

I was looking at a thread for victory internships and the first post was if I get this job I'm firing design the skyline. Lol'd at that and this. band won't make it far.

Time for him to go 100% Dave Mustaine and go out and write some sick, really angry shit. Most likely
we'll end up with some whiny emo crap like we've already received.

"we'll end up with some whiny emo crap like we've already received."

Based on his facebook quotes I would assume so.

if there is a god out there...............thank you.


What is the reasoning behind this? Did you hate the bassist that much? Is the band better now?

what an articulate post, would expect nothing less from a member of this band

This is serious business guys

No I don't have problems like that in my life because I have real problems.

Ass.

they all have the same hair except that one guy

adding synths = EXPERIMENTAL

maybe if were lucky victory will sign his side project.

"I cant even type right right now"

what a loser i bet he likes neurosis and cult of luna

what

he probably doesnt hes a fag

Sounds like a typical thirteen year old that seeks attention after his father makes him stop wearing eyeliner.

what a loser ha

maybe he is good at bass and will find a good band... maybe

Pretty sure age discrimination is illegal

The band pic looks like they should be in a church choir or some sorts.

This thread is just gem after gem after gem after gem!

"Let's face it, he was holding them back."

holy shit lmao XDD

lucky fellar, he's getting a 2nd shot at life.

This is so awesome

don't we all sehguh, don't we all?

"maybe if were lucky victory will sign his side project."

Well it wouldn't really be a "side" project now would it HAY-YOO!

aha! somebody get some ice for that burn!

"Pretty sure age discrimination is illegal"

It is but not against a 16 y/o. He's barely a legal person yet.

Bunch of knobs

^Is that a quote from the keyboard player?

Doubt it. His vocabulary is nowhere near that expansive.

This band definitely has a future! that future, however, is not in music, but instead in comedy

wondering if people can resist posting here...

This is embarrassing. They all look like Ninja Turtles.

Now that I actually think about it.. I posted this on their Facebook page;

"I'm sure you guys will not read this, but I'll type it out anyway. I first heard Surrounded By Silence and thought to myself, "What the fuck are they doing?" but I decided to listen to your (leaked) album and this is what I think.

Drop some of the synth, not all of it, just some, leave the clean vocals in the past and just go for a straightforward deathcore style. Because Witch of the Woods and Crystal Swords Kill the Hordes' breakdowns are fucking intense. It's apparent that you guys know how to make a sick breakdown, so I say stick with what you're good at.

Just giving my two cents, obviously not everyone will agree with me, but it's just what I personally think. Take this as constructive criticism."

Two days after that they kicked their bassist.. coincidence? WHAT IF I JUST RUINED SOMEBODY'S LIFE?

^ fuckin lol

first of all you're an idiot because you like this band and you put time into giving them advice

second of all

"ITS APPARENT THAT U GUYS KNOW HOW 2 MAKE A SIK BRAKEDOWN"

lol

Should have told them to go back to making songs like Surrounded By Silence so at least they'll be fun to listen to

WHATS THE MATTER WITH U PPL

Dude srsly. Their breakdowns in Witch of the Woods and Crystal Swords Kill the Hordes are good. The rest of the album is shit. At least I tried the album.

This guys the scene Dave Mustaine

Yeah except Mustaine actually wrote whole songs by himself.

but now he's gonna miss out on being forgotton this time next year

*laughs*
