To be fair that is a lot less money than an unmolested 70s Destroyer goes for so at least they don't have illusions about added value.

Your human mentality cries out for vengeance and thrives on the violence you say you can hardly endure.
Pat O’Brien is mostly known for playing bizarre death metal licks insanely fast, lifting weights and owning a shitload of guns so honestly meth/coke seems like the logical final piece of that puzzle. They just announced another tour too, wonder who the fill-in will be (don’t say jack owen)

There's a sorta famous bar here in New Orleans called Pat O'Brien's (home of the Hurricane), so whenever I hear that name I just think of the bar (even though I'm sure there's no relation).

How to murder that stupid bitch Pauline:

Equip the following 3 support spirits:

1. Cupid (equips laser staff)
2. Pocket Football Player (strengthens shooting items)
3. Chozo Statue (strengthens shooting items)

Steps:

1. Shoot that bitch from across the scree with about 3 blasts to send her straight to hell.

Optional:

2. Before you kill her, softly whisper into her ear that you're going to murder her entire family next, wiping her seed from the face of the earth forever.

I never would have thought that Pat O'Brien lived on the same nice, quiet road as a friend I had in college, nor that any house there would have been a giant ammunition stockpile. I'll have to pass through next time I'm over that way to see if I can get a look at the wreckage.

He's not wrong in that the entire industry is all about smoke and mirrors and pumping yourself up, but he's missed a few tricks.

Fake likes are laughable these days because the first thing anyone in the industry does is check out the likes per post - if you have 25k fans on your page but only regularly get 50 likes and two comments on each post then you're buying.

The tour was just a waste of savings. I assume his gameplan was to privately book a bunch of reputable overseas venues by telling them he was a somebody, quietly play to nobody, and then come back to the US and start promoting himself as selling out the previous UK tour to get himself up into bigger venues. Wouldn't surprise me if that Porta Rica show they mention was booked on the same principle.

Pre Facebook ubiquity it would probably have worked (and he definitely wouldn't have been the first name act to springboard off something like that) but I guess he didn't account for the venues having enough social clout to rat him out. It's a small industry so promoters talk and Underworld is a reputable enough venue that people listen - it'd be different if he'd booked the Dog and Bollock out in Backend, Nowhereshire but he actually popped up on a promoters blacklist group immediately after the first show and then snowballed.

Definitely got his name out there and if he spins it right might even work out for him eventually, in a culty kind of way. I know a few people that would definitely book him next time as long as he paid up front.

Today in the Wampler fb group, getting really mad about Cannibal Corpse existing!

Some highlights:

Pat O’Brien received karma due to their horrible violent lyrics

An own the libs/okay symbol in profile pic dude saying that he stopped listening to this kind of music because it’s unhealthy

Milquetoast guitarists saying that there’s no thought or talent behind the music

Complete dipshits saying that they’ve never heard of the band / cannibal corpse is a deathcore band and that pat probably owns a “djent stick”

lmao

The people in the group are so loving DULL I really should just leave.

He allows that poo poo to fly and is incredibly cavalier about sexism, homophobia and general chud-ery. Big reason why is that he is one of them. Also, Brian Wampler's "golly gee gosh I had no idea this was going on we do the best we can" pegs him as either a rube, a huge rear end in a top hat or both. You can't say you didn't know when it keeps happening.

edit: the other option, and probably the correct one, is that Wampler is your garden variety craven capitalist. In a group I'm in for pedal builders business owners Brian mentioned how, unlike other builders, he never calls out others for ripping off others. He specifically said he would never call out Josh Scott because it'd be bad for business.

It's not terribly interesting it's just a white brit who has never had to confront issues surrounding sexism and women and let a lot of really misogynistic stuff go because "it's just a joke." Enough people complained and Brian issued an edict saying hey you can't be a piece of poo poo to women in the group and then Jason begrudgingly deleted some posts.

Thanks for the info at least. In general I like Brian. Alex Abernathy Clay is a great guy and mod too who I wish the rest were more like. I have a feeling I’m not sticking around for long though. Some days I love the group and other days it feels full of the worst people in the music world.
