OT: Trivium - Not a rumor but true.

FWIW I've done some time as a stage tech and always wore 'blacks.' It's not normally a requirement for rock/metal but IMO it looks more pro. (I'm of course only refering to techs who can/will be seen on stage and only during the show). Plenty of big tours have crew shirts/jackets/etc. In the scheme of things this isn't really an unreasonable request-- certainly it's less damning than 1000 other internet rumors going around about this band.

In all fairness, Egan, I don't think I've seen you in anything but all black/no logos. :lol:
 
i guess i can kinda see why they'd do that..(if it is true)..there promoting the band. its just like if you work at like best buy for example, you have to wear a best buy shirt..

It doesn't seem like they have to promote Best Buy... when you're in the fucking store already. Just a thought. I mean, I'd assume the whole uniform-there-for-a-set-standard-to-avoid-dress-issues-and-to-make-sure-people-know-who-happens-to-be-an-employee-and-who-doesn't thing might play into it, but there could be that whole issue of 'Hey, I think I'm going to grab Gears of War off the shelf here and pay for it at the CompUSA regist... oh fuck, why didn't anyone tell me I was in a Best Buy? OMGWFTBBQ I hate that fucking blue piece of shit!' coming into play.

The way I see it, if it doesn't beat Led Zeppelin backstage monstrosities, it's just not that big a fucking deal.

well what im trying to get at is..its a job and your working for a band and its pretty much a business nowadays so..

maybe the best buy comparison wasnt the best lol
 
I just got off the phone with corey and also was just talking to paolo on aim, and informed them both of this thread. they both found it pretty funny. i dont know where you heard this, but its not true. matter of fact, last time i saw corey i think he was wearing a chimaira shirt himself. i dont know who told you this, but it must have been a bitter ex-roadie.

seriously bro, if you got nothing better to do than post about this than i feel sorry for you. i dont appreciate shit talking about my friends on here and quite honestly i dont think andy appreciates the bullshit posts on his forum. next time, lets talk about records and the like.

Couldnt agree more this is a recording forum lets keep it that way!:rock:
P.S. Trivium is gay ssshhhhhhhh lol
 
I heard from a very close friend that Matt Heafy' Father is a big shot that works for Clear Channel. I have also heard that he plans to market Trivium as a be all/end all world dominating metal outfit! Complete w/Trivium trivia board games, Trivium bed sheets and ultimately a Trivium Debit card that allows you to earn bonus points on any Trivium purchase of $299 or more.

seriously though, I did hear that his father has allowed them to go for broke with this band, something that allot of other metal bands can not afford to do. Is this a bad thing? no. Is this a true metal thing? no. Is this a smart business move? Absolutely! Thankfully his father had the heart to allow him to pursue his dream.
He could have easily said no and made his sons band actually work for a living and struggle to acheive their dream. Now all matt needs to do is respect the fact that countless metal artist before him had to work for this dream, not every one gets a break like trivium did. He realy needs to let that be reflected in interveiws instead of hiding it. I feel that by matt being honest about the financial backbone of band he may gain more respect from the crowd. I could be wrong though, honesty does go along way.

Perhaps MKS could fill us in on his 'reliable sources'? The standard rule of debate that would apply here would be that the person making the claim (MKS) is responsible for showing how a given claim is demonstrated as a logical conclusion after integration and analyzation of past knowledge - meaning we see the correspondence, announcement, or a satisfactory number of fuckoff slips that say precisely 'No Chimaira shirts!', or we dismiss the claim until further evidence comes up. It should be a hell of a lot easier than it seems to be, but when you have 'Not a rumor but true!' in the title, no supporting evidence, appeal to authority, and denial of contrary evidence ALL IN ONE THREAD...

It seems this became more of a place for people to talk shit about Trivium at any opportunity presented, and that's what Blabbermouth is fucking there for.

Just to clear things up.........Brian heafy (matts dad) was a ceo of a soft ware start up and is indeed wealthy, i have not found proof that he works for
clearchannel...however......his father and the entertainment lawyer and co manager have infact made the ride to success a smooth one meaning that the band does not have to work day jobs to make ends meet like most other new up and comming metal outfits.

I will not reveal my sources for reasons I have no desire to explain. Nor do I care if anyone believes me or not. I received some legitimate information about a band that is referenced on this forum quite often and I decided to share.

However, the people on this forum that do know me, can confirm I'm honest to the point of fault.
 
If you love playing and performing and listening to metal, does it really matter how much money or influence your parents have? I think not.

Please die, thread. :erk:

So basically they are the next KISS?
