Honestly, I'm more upset with letlive. than anyone. The fact that they went on this tour pisses me off. They talk shit about these types of bands, yet they go on tour with them... Have more integrity than that. If they really hate these bands, they should do their own smaller tours and take lesser known, talented bands with them. Play shows at smaller venues with underground bands and keep your credibility instead of trying to line your pockets.

That could be true, but I don't see Epitaph forcing them to go on shitty tours, though. ETID and Converge are also on
Epitaph and they seem to tour with solid bands who are fitting for them to tour with. Like, the bands on this tour don't
match letlive's style at all.

I'm quite disgusted that Letlive is touring with these crap bands as well, but I'm certainly not going to lose any respect for them over it. If it wasn't their choice, it sucks, if it was, oh well. If you need some cash then do what you gotta do.

Nahh, you go play where the kids are. It's not like they re wrote their songs for the tour, anyone who enjoys the music at a FiR show will likely enjoy their music for the same reasons i do despite my hate for FiR type of bands.

That day, for no particular reason, I decided to kick a few people out of my show. So I kicked a few people out. And when I got there, I thought maybe kick out some escape the fate fans. And when I got there, I thought maybe I'd just kick out a guy in a flannel for talking shit. And I figured, since I've gone this far, maybe I'd just kick out some girls that came all the way from the great land of Canada. And that's what I did. I kicked out some chicks from Canada. For no particular reason I just kept on going.

Stupid is as stupid does.

"Please I can't wait for read what you have to post about the big Truth!! For the stupid ppl who thinks this happened because ISS is better than FIR!! Please FIR is much better than ISS just go and compare both FB profiles, ISS only 200 thousand and FIR 700 thousand and FIR is a new band and ISS is an old band.... Ronnie is a legend and more than a legend he is a professional who don't like be around negativity... U should fire those fucking addicts"
