Possible Emmure Lawsuit

2014-02-19 by TheGreatQ | 75 Comments
One of the founding members of Emmure, Ben Lionetti (guitarist, left in 2009), is threatening the band, their management, and their label Victory Records with a lawsuit. He is disturbed by the fact that they have titled a song on their upcoming album 'Bring A Gun To School'. He says that it is dangerous, and that the band is doing it simply for the controversy and without giving thought to how it could potentially cause violence or
other problems with children who hear the song and don't know any better.

In his statement, he claims that the band's early material was written entirely by him, and points to the sudden shift in their sound after his departure as proof. He alleges that he was forced to credit the band as a whole as the writers for his music, and says that frontman/vocalist Frankie Palmeri is a "disgusting human being" who drags the band down. He also says that the band is still owed $10,000 from Victory, and he is prepared to strike the previously mention parties "with lawsuits from now until the end of time."

As much as I don't like Emmure, that's a pretty cunty move. Anyone half worth their minerals can interpret that song title to being anti-shooting up kids in school.

I recognize the fact that Emmure isn't the most talented band or the greatest group of guys out there; but I like them.

But this this is kind of a dick move on Lionetti's part. Suing for money after a band you got kicked out of sees moderate forms of success?

Also, i'm presuming this guy had input into song titles like 'R2DeepThroat' and 'Rusted Over Wet Dreams' so I don't know why he's crying about this one.

I don't understand his argument, nobody cares about Emmure's EPs (they're really bad), and The Respect Issue came out what? 6-7 years ago? So like, yeah, you helped get them where they are, but since then they've put out three? four? studio albums that kids absolutely fucking love, that they did far larger tours to support, and made way more waves exploiting Frankie's mental illness to be offensive.

and the fact that somebody could see a close friend succumb to mental illness, and then refer to them as a "disgusting person" nearly a decade later because you're jealous of their money is absolutely disgusting.
