I was shocked to see that Oli Sykes (Frontman of Bring Me The Horizon) was attacked on stage at a show in Salt Lake City last night. From what i can gather, some kids were throwing objects and bottles about the crowd and Oli went over to confront them, when he did they tried pulling him into the crowd. Oli then retaliated by lifting the bands bottles of water and pouring them over the kids that were causing disruption. He then told them to "fuck off" or address him on stage personally, which unfortunately for him, they did. A few kdis got up and a huge scrap started on stage at the show, crazy. According to Oli, the kids who started the brawl then ran aggressively to the door where they broke a young girls jaw, on their way out. As much as Oli Sykes is a twat at most times, why go to a concert to mess it up and then fight with a band you paid money to watch? Here is a video of the events: The fight starts at around 1:43.

That is a fucking disgrace. How would they like it if Sykes turned up at their work and started shit? People think because someone is in the public eye they can treat them how they like. Oli Sykes may act the wanker 97% of the time, but it's most likely an act for his stage persona...and these idiots took it too far. |

Exactly. It is a disgrace to see that people have fucked a show for everyone else that paid money to attend. Of course yes, Oli as you said does act a wanker whilst on stage but that as un-called for.
The guys that did it are stupid too, they are writing on the bands facebook telling them to come back so they can see who the tough guy is. How dumb, all BMTH has to do is report the names to the police.
They are expected to announce soon that they will not play in Salt Lake City ever again. |

If I was them I wouldn't play there again either. It could have ended so much worse, and they're lucky that it didn't tbh.
On another note...where did Oli get the pseudo American twang from. That is not a Sheffield accent lol. |

Yeah i know, he has changed accent miraculously lol. This video tells the story better. As thought Oli was acting a prick, although he did the right thing stopping the set or that young girl could of gotten seriously hurt. Watch from 01:38 on, he stops the song to tell the kids that are fighting to get out. What a crazy show.

Oli Sykes is a dick. Somebody should punch him in the face. Every time he opens his fucking mouth. |

And, if what Oli is saying is correct, i respect him. |

And, if what Oli is saying is correct, i respect him. I don't know what happened in this incident, and I am not going to watch the video. However, I know enough about Oli Sykes to know that he deserves to be punched. Rock stars are mostly all assholes to some degree, but to me he's in a band that nobody should really give a fuck about, while acting like he's the most important guy in the industry. Contrary to popular opinion, being in a band does not entitle you to be an asshole. Throwing TVs out of windows, driving cars into swimming pools, wanton sex with minors... People talk about how great Keith Moon was because he lived life on the edge. Keith Moon was a fucking child who never grew up. He got away with it because it was the 1970s, like every band in the 1970s, management was making a fortune off them and keeping them too drugged up to notice. That shit should not be a role model to anyone. Not that Oli Sykes is Keith Moon... More like Timmy Mallett. Edited by user 06 October 2011 08:42:57(UTC)

I've just had a great idea for a video series. I need to get Shelby to agree to help me, and I need to get a new video camera first, but if I can get everything together I really think I could do a great job at it. I feel I could really kick the shit out of the acting in it. :)
It would see me playing Death. After ending someones life I run into Shelby, but to my amazement she lives. I know that this is a sign that my time as the reaper is finally coming to an end. I slowly bring her into what being Death is, and the horrible things it pertains too. Finally, she takes the black jacket from my back and ends my suffering.
I have this image of a scene in the cemetery down the road from my house where I would have my break down moment, and just thinking about it makes me cry. God, I need a camera and some actors asap. lol |

Been listening to way too much Steve Albini, to the point whereas I was in class today and I started listening to Big Black then Shellac. Everything was cool and then I got a sudden intense urge to complete the cycle, with Rapeman naturally.
"What the fuck is Rapeman?"
"Noise for the sake of noise."
"So a rapist?" |

Saw Enter Shikari last night, which was good (yet not as good as the previous times I've seen them) and it appears that I've gained tonsillitis, brilliant!

First, I shave my beard really short and get my hair cut real short. Then I went out with some work friends this evening, drank a coke, had a fun time. Then I agreed to play badminton with them next week, which I have not played in literally ten years, and was shit at the time.
WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING TO ME. |
