Motion City and Silverstein Hug it Out

[Melissa Johnson]

The following was submitted by a user regarding the recent "drama" between Motion City Soundtrack (http://www.absolutepunk.net/motioncitysoundtrack) and Silverstein (http://www.absolutepunk.net/silverstein):
"On July 9th at the Warped Tour in Fresno, CA the lead singer from Motion City Soundtrack boldly stated (while wearing a Silverstein t-shirt) that they would by handling the situation with Silverstein out by the buses after the show.

During Silverstein's set, the band brought out a guy in a hat and sunglasses and said he was there to speak to the crowd about the internet. The disguised man asked if anyone had heard about the feud between Silverstein and Motion 'Shitty' Soundtrack and then made a joke about MCS re-releasing their album. The crowd went crazy cheering on Silverstein and booing MCS. Shane from Silverstein then pulled off the disguised man's hat and sunglasses to reveal the lead singer Justin from Motion City Soundtrack. The two 'rival' band members hugged and told the audience not to believe everything they read on the internet."

haha

[poppa Q]

Hahah, I actually laughed at that.

[Anton Djamoos]

I didn't think they were fighting. None of it made sense.

[camp7NdN]

Thats awesome!!

[evilchino]

perfectly done

[china white]

Awesome, I so happy about that

[SwedishHeat]

Somehow, I could tell this was going to happen.

[iihungrieii]

thats nice to hear.. haha and there that post about settling the dispute with lawyers.. the guys in mcs are great

[buysoap]

awww

[The Silencer]

hahahaha clever.

[costello.]

haha i knew it couldn't be real.
i mean, they used the word "beef".

[Utrguitar]

What was the original feud about?

[preppyak]

haha...good stuff

[crit]

haha that's cute.

[Melissa Johnson]

What was the original feud about?
Nothing. (Or at least they never said..)

You know they had to be sitting around on one of the buses one night together drinking beers and the idea of "Let's really fuck with all the kids..." got brought up, and this is what came of that idea.

[bass ampss]

Amazing.

[enj0i29]

that's awesome...I'd have loved to see the Silverstein fans' faces.

[tensecondstogo]

cheap promotion tactic = awesome.

good way to give your bands some extra press.

[Chris Fallon]

Haha, that's cool. After thinking about it, I figured something like this would have to happen.

Now, can we expect a Jason Tate/Sonny Moore make-up hug sometime soon?





JK.

[Jason Tate]

Haha, that's cool. After thinking about it, I figured something like this would have to happen.

Now, can we expect a Jason Tate/Sonny Moore make-up hug sometime soon?





JK.
I never had a problem with the kid, he's the one that ran crying to MTV - not me.

[AdamWASFearless]

I love well executed publicity stunts.

[Darren McLeod]

am i the only one who finds that ridiculous and predictable? it seems like something on a disney movie, haha.

[lftcoastenvy05]

hahaha

honestly how could anyone start shit with either of these bands? theyre all great guys and props to them on this prank

[Ryannn]

I never had a problem with the kid, he's the one that ran crying to MTV - not me.


what did he say?

[Steve Henderson]

Emo pussies!

[bobby runs]

I never had a problem with the kid, he's the one that ran crying to MTV - not me.

if this were to happen would one of you dress up as a chimp?

[cahrishurr]

am i the only one who finds that ridiculous and predictable? it seems like something on a disney movie, haha.

Let it go, its not that ridiculous. I think its pretty awesome in fact. I mean fucking with people is great. Now if you could fuck with a huge mass of people at once via the internet and on stage at a show...wouldnt you take the oppurtunity. Assuming the situation wouldnt harm anyone.

[backstagebethy]

that made my heart feel all warm haha

[Exit Reuben]

If this particular submission happened to be untrue it would be so deeply ironic. :)

But seemingly it's not..that whole ordeal sounded quite funny!

[Shatter_Glass]

Wow. I hoped that MCS would put the other guys out of their misery "out by the busses".

[meliisssaaaa]

hahah i love itttt

[kg00d]

haha justin rules

[whitelines]

awwwwww

[CWeezer]

hah. niiice.

[FOBPrettyNPunk]

Hahaha, I wish I was there for that.

[PunkDrums182]

That's awesome, I met the silverstein guys and they seemed awesome and the MCS guys always seemed cool.

[xPaulWallx]

i find that publicity stunt pretty lame and unoriginal but watev. i dont get why everyone thinks its so awesome? its not like it was an intelligent prank or anything.

[leftstranded]

haha. anyone could have seen this coming but it's still funny

[Ruggiero2oo8]

hahahaha awesome.

[mrs. will pugh]

thats funny, i was wondering what that joke was all about, cuz i was at warped in pomona on the 7th, and i was like danggggggggggg.

[JohnDorian]

Am I the only one who thinks it would of been pretty obvious it was Justin?

[kissbangkill]

i find that publicity stunt pretty lame and unoriginal but watev. i dont get why everyone thinks its so awesome? its not like it was an intelligent prank or anything.

agreed

[ironlionOROKU]

good for both bands

[TheWeakest]

haha how cute is that

[falloutdrea19]

hhahaha thats a good one

[unholy_amanda]

Hahaha.

[Ailite]

That's fucking great. I like these two bands to much to see them fight. This post really made happy.

[Steve Henderson]

i find that publicity stunt pretty lame and unoriginal but watev. i dont get why everyone thinks its so awesome? its not like it was an intelligent prank or anything.I agree with you, sir. Pretty lame if you ask me.

[helikopter]

Am I the only one who thinks it would of been pretty obvious it was Justin?


i was just thinking that.

[*crying stars*]

that's awesome...I'd have loved to see the Silverstein fans' faces.
there was probably shock then nervous laughter.

[The Matt Kaufman]

Im going to be nice and not sarcastic and just smile and nod cause thats what i think of this :) lol

[X Out The Eyes]

i wish they really wouldve fought and had a few other bands brawl too. couldve been like the battle of the newscasters in Anchorman.

[starinyourfire]

tha'ts awesome

[werealldudes19]

ingenious much

[Chris Fallon]

I never had a problem with the kid, he's the one that ran crying to MTV - not me.

Yeah, I know - I was more or less pointing the finger at him with that one.

Although, that chimp suit idea is kinda funny. But Sonny seems pretty bitter, so...

[Tony]

I agree with you, sir. Pretty lame if you ask me.
Really lame, in fact. I didn't even think it was a prank from the this was written. Sounds to me like there WAS a beef and lawyers on both sides told them to play it off like a prank. Whatever, I don't even give a shit to begin with. Fuck both bands for either playing a lame-ass prank, or letting their drama out in the open and then pretending it doesn't exist. All this shit is a waste of bandwidth, just like my post.

[xhellalujahx]

People are certainly easily impressed.

[Alba]

Nice. That totally made my day.

[Poultrylicious]

lame, a real fued would of been more entertaining

[xPaulWallx]

Nice. That totally made my day.

how lame are your days then?????

[Chris Fallon]

how lame are your days then?????

Hahahaha

[joeshmoe909]

Beautiful

[EmoPunkRx]

It just goes to show how many posers listen to the music. I guess you have to have scenesters in every music genre; it just happened to be a bunch of Silverstein fans at Warped tour that day! If they are real Silverstein fans....they probably have to find out from the Web before they can make that decision.

[llmp]

Interesting...I guess...it still doesn't change the fact that MCS's new album was incredibly disappointing.

[stephisfinch]

Sounds to me like there WAS a beef and lawyers on both sides told them to play it off like a prank.


Or not.

So they thought it out somewhat & mentioned laywers. That OBVIOUSLY makes it true. And they are OBVIOUSLY just trying to cover it up by saying it was a joke!!! LOLOLOLOL!!!

[stephisfinch]

so this site is wrong again? hahah hilarious

I wouldn't exactly say they are wrong.

There was obviously some tip of a fued. If it was planned by the bands, it's not like the site made it up.

It's just a big joke. To prove that people take the internet way too seriously.

The end.

[zizou1790]

that actually pisses me off that they did the whole thing for attention

[N8IVIin0rity]

so this site is wrong again? hahah hilarious
so...stop coming here? hahah hilarious.

[zizou1790]

how lame are your days then?????

hahaha

[atticusfinch]

we got punk'd!

[stephisfinch]

that actually pisses me off that they did the whole thing for attention


Or just for their own entertainment.
Not exactly attention...
They don't NEED attention. haha.

[monicaaaa!]

what?

[blahme]

...uh, wow. haha.

[lesto17]

That is awesome. I'm not a fan of Silverstein's music but I'm really glad that there isn't any animosity between the two bands. To be honest I don't see how anyone could not get along with the guys from MCS. Well played boys, well played.

[JohnnyG]

Weird

[zizou1790]

They don't NEED attention. haha.
i wanted to see blood spilled, not hugs.

[GoWaitInTheCar]

I knew it.

Fuck everyone's life who didn't.

[fearthesloths]

totally called it

[Alex DiVincenzo]

Haha that's awesome.

[blinkredstar]

Internet gossip loses again. Who would have thought?

yeaaaah, i have no idea what you were trying to say there emopunk prescription person...

[iamsoimpossible]

i actually laughed out loud on that
awesome.

[Zanarky]

that Shane is a good fellow. I laughed.

[chokeychicken]

amazing.

[garlicgirl1210]

thats funny, i was wondering what that joke was all about, cuz i was at warped in pomona on the 7th, and i was like danggggggggggg.
why were you all "like danggggggggggg" at warped in pomona?
i was there too and finally seeing mcs live blew me away (sooo great, sooo fun), and i know they were stellar - but i do not think they warranted a "danggggggggggg" at all.
i had no idea they had any "beef" with silverstein last friday at warped.....but this little hug story is pretty sweet. boy do i love mcs.

[AEast317]

Lolas!!! Omg Hats Funny They Kcaed It All!!!!!!!!!!!! Sroy For Typos Am Drink.

[drew-is-cool]

soooo who called this?

i did.

[sethface]

i find that publicity stunt pretty lame and unoriginal but watev. i dont get why everyone thinks its so awesome? its not like it was an intelligent prank or anything. what's the point of posting something like this because all you're doing is contradicting yourself by saying "it's dumb, and not cunning. But I'm still going to dwell my thoughts into it." which is exacly what they've wanted you to do....

[Get Fucked]

So, Jason were you in on this or are your "reliable" sources always fucking with you?

[Julia Conny]

oh damn, i was hoping for an actual throwdown.

[jawkneephighv]

So who's responsible for spurring up the so-called drama? This website? Blah.

[Chemical Love]

Haha, thats awesome.

[mr chainsaw]

any band that does a photoshoot with doughnuts is amazing

[Backer]

hahaa

[mybreakingpoint]

i find that publicity stunt pretty lame and unoriginal but watev. i dont get why everyone thinks its so awesome? its not like it was an intelligent prank or anything.

ya, watev


i thought it was funny. people need to stop acting all high&mighty as if the whole prabnk is "just soooooo beneath me". get over it. it's a couple of band's having fun. they weren't trying to do anything but have fun. if you can't understand that, ipity you and anyone you're ever around.

[nfgluver1423]

haha that warped day was awesome cause of that.


AND mcs covered silversteins merch tent in MCS posters befroe doors opened. it was hilarious.

plus mcs tour manager had on an MCS shirt and wrote sucks under it. adn before MCS went onstage justin had an x across his silverstien shirt with beef written on it. it fell off though. but it was highly amusing.

wow these dudes seem like the lamest dudes in america.

[mybreakingpoint]

wow these dudes seem like the lamest dudes in america.

i think you must be the lamest dude in america for having no sense of humor and not knowing how to have fun.

[1000shadesofred]

I didn't think they were fighting. None of it made sense.

especially the part of MCS using a fuckin lawyer... that would just be pussy

[thisisrightnow]

I was having a hard time believing MCS would be involved in a fued or anything. They're such nice guys.

[starcrossdlovex]
