This is the Craziest Thing I've Seen This Week..

[Melissa Johnson]

The singer of HORSE the Band (http://www.myspace.com/horsetheband) was arrested on charges of pointing a gun at a woman and suspicion of robbing a gas station. You can read a message regarding the incident from the band below.
At 5 am Lambgoat (http://lambgoat.com/news/view.aspx?id=7501) received the following email from group keyboardist Erik Engstrom:

Nathan our singer was taken to jail tonight after our show with Dragonforce in Toronto on suspicion of robbing a gas station and firing a pistol at a woman. Nathan has been reading Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry and got way into it, thinking he is the main character, Gus. He drinks a bottle of whiskey a day and bought a cap gun which he took the orange thing off of and a 12 inch bowie knife which he named 'blue duck.' Every night when he is drunk he fires the cap gun in the air and runs around screaming. Tonight at the gas station he had just fallen out the side door of the van. He climbed back in laughing hysterically, and shot his cap gun into the air twice. We left the gas station. Two minutes later I was lying face down in the middle of the freeway handcuffed with a handgun and a shotgun pointed at my head. Eighteen cops came and they shut down the freeway. Evidently some lady said we robbed the store and pointed the gun at her. They let the rest of us go, but the Toronto police have Nathan, blue duck, the gun, our jim beam, e and j, and barenjager. Hopefully they let Nathan go but he might be in jail for a while. Sorry if we misss any shows.

[xTJx]

Bahahahha. I love Canada.

[Tony Pascarella]

Hahaha, what?

[Greg]

Hahahahaha, I love these guys.
i feel bad for your parents

[gordonLightfoot]

Lonesome Dove is a great Book. Blue Duck is the name of an Indian in it that Gus fights.

[Cue the Sun]

Only in Canada...

that's nuts.

[AdamAtCollege]

That. Is. Hilarious. That's good press right there.

[phaedrus]

the people in this band have got to be the stupidest people alive. very funny, but incredibly stupid and inconsiderate people

[ren]

That series was great. Rick Schroder is king.

[average_jane]

[jawkneephighv]

Don Quixote?

[showyourteeth]

[TasonJate]

This might be the funniest band out right now.

[HollywoodAbalze]

[surfslde6]

Holy fucking christ. Can this band get any fucking cooler?

[rhinitus]

[romantic rights]

the people in this band have got to be the stupidest people alive. very funny, but incredibly stupid and inconsiderate people

inconsiderate? they're actually one of the nicest bands i have talked to.

[clintdaddy]

these guys must be on drugs.


Or Whiskey like it said in the fucking post

[sendouthesoscal]

i bet gatsby found this hysterical

[Adeniz19]

hahahahaha omg.... he shouldn't of took off the orange tip on the gun.

is he really going to spend that much time in jail tho, i mean can't the workers of the store tell the cops they knew it was a fake gun? or did they not know either? hahaha such a crazy story

[love_american_style]

Or Whiskey like it said in the fucking post

yeah because they would actually admit to doing drugs right?!?!

douche bag.

[livethesounds]

haha this is why i love this band so much. way to arrest a guy for having a cap gun canadian police.

[monicaaaa!]

haha shiiit..this has got to be one of the funniest things i've ever heard

[robsmith]

that's hilarious!
in the US the cops probably would have just shot him...

[heavyheart_x3]

hahahahaha oh wow.

[xearlynovemberx]

hahah, thats amazing

[phaedrus]

inconsiderate? they're actually one of the nicest bands i have talked to.
I was referring more to the dropping of a major tour to write songs about pizza and shooting a fake gun at people as being inconsiderate. I'll take your word that they were nice to you though

[MixtapexxDeath]

what a fucking loony
hahaha

[thewebguy]

wow way to confess on the internet.

idiot should have kept his mouth shut and just say that he was in jail and what the charges were. taking that orange piece off and firing it publically might be a serious crime in canada.

[JoshCool7717]

I was referring more to the dropping of a major tour to write songs about pizza and shooting a fake gun at people as being inconsiderate. I'll take your word that they were nice to you though

I KNOW you're not shitting on the Pizza EP, correct? And a tour with Gatsbys headlining is a major tour? You got a dick in your mouth? Or is everything you say just gay?

[Fuce]

haha that's horrible.

I love Horse, those guys are hilarious. I hope he gets out of jail soon.

[IAPAI]

haha this is why i love this band so much. way to arrest a guy for having a cap gun canadian police.


ya, the Canadian Police are just a bit different than American authorities in that when someone is suspected of carrying a weapon and endangering lives they act on it.. Go figure, huh?

1. The guy was drunk - he probably only had to stay in the drunk tank over night (if he actually didn't have a weapon)
2. He was a "foreigner", so that's another reason they'd probably not just say "alright, go home for the night, son"
3. Toronto is fairly notorious for shootings these days, so I commend the police for taking action on a suspected armed robbery.

Hilarious story, though. Props to those guys for having a sense of humour about it.

[James Johnson]

Hahahaha amazing. I love horse more and more each day!

[shoop]

thats definately Horse. I just dont seem shocked.. I love these guys.

[Adrian Villagomez]

This band is crazy fun.

:dance:

[CWeezer2]

hah wow. i love the way they ended that. "sorry if we miss any shows".

[CantPay4Music]

i feel bad for your parents


I feel bad for your stomach, you fat bastard.

[ndtitr]

Funniest Shit I Have Heard All Day. Hahaha.

[love_american_style]

I feel bad for your stomach, you fat bastard.

hahaha....funny

[youcomebeforeyo]

That's so awesome.

[unholy_amanda]

Someone doesn't know how to separate fiction from reality.

[Melissa Johnson]

I KNOW you're not shitting on the Pizza EP, correct? And a tour with Gatsbys headlining is a major tour? You got a dick in your mouth? Or is everything you say just gay?
This is the best post I've seen all day.
This kid ftw.

I laughed hard.

[nsgob22]

lol

[Melissa Johnson]

Someone doesn't know how to separate fiction from reality.
Aw c'mon, he's got a kid inside of him. He can't help that the kid in him comes out when he's trashed.

[Adeniz19]

Aw c'mon, he's got a kid inside of him. He can't help that the kid in him comes out when he's trashed.he has a kid inside him? are you sure he was arrested for having a fake gun?

:rape:

[mortal soldier]

he has a kid inside him? are you sure he was arrested for having a fake gun?

:rape:

i LOLed...

but come on, he's got the heart of a child






at home in a jar.

[Shatter_Glass]

Damn canuks!!!

[BGP]

It's funny because I got arrested for the same thing a year back:unsure:

[bonefacekillah]

thats what you get from a band that names their ep "pizza."

[sundaysetsashes]

thats what you get from a band that names their ep "pizza."

shut the fuck up.

[Criesofthepast7]

hahahahahaha!

those horse dudes are nuts!

[*crying stars*]

haha, that's insane.

[bonefacekillah]

shut the fuck up.

get fucked...i didnt say anything bad about the band, ******. a band that names their ep "pizza" and a band that gets arrested for imitating a cowboy and shooting off a cap gun at a gas station fall into the same cateorgory.

[Ruggiero2oo8]

haha, thats crazy.

[whitelines]

are they going to cancel the rest of their tour dates and write an ep about it?

[whitelines]

just kidding! fucking nathan

[fedhed7]

Lol.

[Ryan Imhof]

hha wtf@horsetheband

[wtfemokid]

i guess i have to read lonesome dove...

[Chemical Love]

lol, thats crazy.

[GAD_guy]

this has happened to some friends of mine back home....luckily they knew cops so they didn't get arrested. but they did end up on the ground with shotguns pressed against their heads before the cops figured out who they were.

yet still...every time i go home and hang out with those dudes i end up running around town with an airsoft gun (minus the orange cap thing) tucked into my pants and getting to occasional wars in wal-mart parking lots and such.

maybe i'm getting a little old for that.

[IAmAmazing]

thats what you get from a band that names their ep "pizza."
i listenned to 30 seconds of one of their songs on that ep and i realized how this is a good thing

[WakingTheMisery]

Fuck. He better be out by Friday...

[domesticyeti]

thats hilarious, but hopefully he gets out

[notoaststereo]

hahaha holy shit

[SydBarrett 420]

This statement sounds like bullshit to me

[Loch_Doun]

more reasons why this band sucks ass. i hope he gets 2 years in custody for that shit.

[heyRomanticA__x]

woah, this sucks. I really hope they don't keep him too long.

[WakingTheMisery]

more reasons why this band sucks ass. i hope he gets 2 years in custody for that shit.

man, in the states airsoft guns aren't considered airguns, they are replicas. if you get nailed for any crime with a replica you can be charged as if it were a real weapon

[danielplaysbass]

badass

[TheBaroness]

They sound like fun guys.

[Bob Payne]

THIS BETTER NOT BE TRUE. I am supposed to see them on wednesday with Dragonforce.

[WakingTheMisery]

I'm not saying any thing negetive, he just might be a little biased based on the type of music he listens to.

[shtjames]

i'm gonna listen to this band just because of this

[Pat Marquez]

[notoaststereo]

[Ambulance X]

[jon.fftl]

Haha, that's pretty funny.

And please, just blame Canada, it's not his fault at all.

[alexwohl29_90]

Fuck dude. Nathan is my hero...him and Erik...

Well I hope he's not taking it in "The Black Hole," and using some of his "Cutsman" techniques on some mother fuckers in prison with a "Pizza NIF."

[12:46AM]

Fuck canadaweren't you the idiot going off about nobel laureates that one time? saying how america has more than canada, failing to realize we have more per capita? yeah, that's what i thought.

in other words: shut up.

[alexwohl29_90]

This statement sounds like bullshit to me


I really don't think it is. Watch the "Effing 69 World Tour" DVD. You'll see what I'm saying. Nathan is a crazzaayyy drunk.

[headclub]

hahhahhahahahhahahhahah...wow...i thought i had weird friends

[headclub]

weren't you the idiot going off about nobel laureates that one time? saying how america has more than canada, failing to realize we have more per capita? yeah, that's what i thought.

Very, very true.

[GAD_guy]

man, in the states airsoft guns aren't considered airguns, they are replicas. if you get nailed for any crime with a replica you can be charged as if it were a real weapon

yeah...i mean i never point them at strangers...but its still retarded on my part to carry one and shit.

we've been doing this for almost 8 years now though and only had problems with incident i mentioned before and a near disaster when we were shooting at moving cars and accidently shot at a cop car.

still, like i said, i think i'm getting too old for it.

[theguilt engine]

they suck anyway. who cares...

[CurtyB]

anyone remember when they were giving away free shirts if you sent them your Chiodos shirt?

[WakingTheMisery]

i thought i was the only one.

[GoWaitInTheCar]

Hahaha what?

[WakingTheMisery]

anyone remember when they were giving away free shirts if you sent them your Chiodos shirt?

If you go to the show wearing a cape they hook you up now.

[jimboj917]

[Pooavenger]

a pete doherty in training perhaps?

[hxchairstylist]

shouldn't someone recognized the real problem?...a fucking BOTTLE of whiskey a day? come on you douchebags...that's your fucking singer. help take care of eachother. idiots are prone to do even more idiotic things when drunk. ie; jackass number 2. (but that's a damn good movie). bottom line: leave the make believe to 5 year old girls. and HORSE: you're idiots.

[tidesdontexist]

HAHAHAHAHHA oh my god. that is the greatest thing ever.

Good thing we have moral crusaders like you to weed out the real problems in music today :rolleyes:

[Ambulance X]

weren't you the idiot going off about nobel laureates that one time? saying how america has more than canada, failing to realize we have more per capita? yeah, that's what i thought.

Who gives a fuck about per capita? The US has contributed more to the world than Canada could ever hope, or will ever achieve. You are a joke.

[evilchino]

man, in the states airsoft guns aren't considered airguns, they are replicas. if you get nailed for any crime with a replica you can be charged as if it were a real weapon

people this dumb still exist?

[Ambulance X]

people this dumb still exist?

Who controls the world? Is it Canada? Not even close. The United States is more influential, and more successful than Canadians could even dream of their country being. Canadian society is so pathetically inept that it's actually laughable.

who the fuck cares? the u.s. is more powerful...great. who also causes more problems? kills more people? starts more wars? takes advantage of more 3rd world countries? that would be us.

[Chris Fallon]

That's nuts. So is this band, though, so go figure!
