The Story of the Beatdown

[Jason Tate]

Story of the Year apparently got in a little fight (http://www.maverick.com/storyoftheyear/site/news.htm) with Godsmack's production crew (production crew? fucking rock stars) - the full story is in the comments.

[Jason Tate]

FUCK GODSMACK AND THEIR NAZI FUCKING CREW.....
Hello everyone. Something pretty amazing happened, and I would like to share it with you...........

Last night, at a Radio Show in Indiana, my band (except for Josh, he was in the shower) and our tour manager was jumped by godsmack's production manager, crew, and security, along with local security. It was a pretty fair fight. The five of us vs. at least ten 200+ pound football reject, jock - coke head fucking piece of shit fucking losers. Almost a fair fight huh? So what did we do to deserve this you're probably wondering? It had to have been something really bad huh? Did we have sex with one of their wives? No, that's not why. Did we steal some of their drugs? No. Not that either. Did we sell their security some bunk steroids?. No. This is the awful thing that we did to get jumped..

The show was in an amphitheater. We made everyone in the crowd jump, and asked everyone in the lawn to come down to the front of the stage. I can totally understand how this might have caused a little bit of a panic for the local security, but the show was sucking, so we had to make it rock. It's not like there was a riot or anything. It ruled. Apparently, godsmack's douche bag fucking production manager and crew didn't like this, so they we're backstage waiting for us......

I'm going to stop the story right there just to reiterate the fact that this was a RADIO SHOW. NOT A FUCKING GODSMACK SHOW. We were not opening for godsmack. We are not on tour with godsmack. The absolute fact of the matter is that neither godsmack's band or crew had any authority or say in anything regarding my band. It was simply none of their fucking business what happened on or off stage during our performance. It's funny that the only people in the whole fucking ordeal that were cool was the damn radio station. No one from WRZX said anything to us. Plus they didn't jump us.

Anyway, we walked off stage excited, because we turned a shitty show into a fucking rock show. Within ten seconds of us finishing our last song, Godsmacks ugly dick faced production manager had his hands all over Dan screaming at him saying "Get the fuck out of here, you're not getting fucking paid" "Who the fuck do you think you are, you're not fucking rock stars"....Dan replied to the guys face "YEAAAAHHHHH ROCK AND ROLL! WAHOOOOO!" This really pissed off the piece of shit production manager. Our tour manager intervened and told the dude not to touch band members. What happens next? Three cro-magnon jock fucks grabs our tour manager and holds him still so one guy could pummel his face. 4 of them jump on Adam and pummel his face. Dan, Phil, and I got hit, but not half as bad as they did. Josh walked off stage and went in the dressing room just 5 seconds before this happened and missed it. I did get to punch a dude in the face a couple of times. That ruled. Dan got to punch their production manager in the face, and Phil, god love Phil...He picked up a metal box and smashed the pussy face production manager in the head with it. I think It's still pretty safe to say we lost though.

Let me again reiterate the fact that no one in godsmack's band or crew had ANY FUCKING RIGHT TO EVEN SAY A WORD TO US. If we were opening for godsmack at one of THEIR lame ass shows or if we were on tour with them, then yeah, they've got the power, it's their show, they're in charge. But even then, kick us off tour, tell us to go home, cuss at us, don't pay us whatever. DON'T PUT YOUR FUCKING GORILLA HANDS ON MY FUCKING BAND. That's not business, that's fucking gang shit.

So we just got jumped putting on a rock show, then to top it off, the fucking cops quarantine us in a 300 degree room while all the fucks who started the fight walked around drinking beer and laughing about it. They totally started the fight, threw the first punches, and WE were fucking held in a room, then held in our bus. Then, the icing on the cake; an inbred cop with a handlebar moustache tells us "he's not putting up with our kind" and " the whole things a joke and he can personally guarantee that nothing will happen to anyone that kicked our ass".... Eat another doughnut you power abusive fucking molester.

So why fuck godsmack? Because their dickface crew jumped us and not one member of that fucking band bothered to come and apologize for it. Sully (the singer) walked by our dressing room, looked at us, and gave us a dirty look. No sorry my hoosier ass crew jumped you. No sorry my band hires irresponsible fucking criminals, Nothing from any of them. Awesome.

It's funny that we played a radio show with all these hard ass new metal bands like godsmack, and they couldn't handle little old storyoftheyear's rock show. Sorry we're not 40 years old and we don't stand on stage like someone is forcing us to. Sorry we love our band and love to put on a show for people who pay 3 million dollars to see a bunch of dorky bands stare at their feet. So they took it upon themselves to jump us. Yeah, so fuck godsmack and their stupid fucking crew, and fuck every steroid using, jock fucking cave man security guard that thinks hitting a dude 200 pounds smaller than him is cool. Eat shit and die you fucking pussies.

[NicoleC]

story of the suck?

[finch macbeth]

Suck of the Year" would have been funnier, but I ahvn't nothing for or against that band. Godsmack however totally bites and I think the whole fighting thing is funny. But the part about the cops only talking to SOTY guys seems fishy because I really don't see our law enforcement corrupt enough to just handle the "good guys" who didn't start the fight. And only hearing one side of the story makes me question the story's worth even more.

[jchausow]

story of the suck?

Rad. Yea, getting beat up by jockrockers sucks ass. Oh, wait? Who listens to Story of the Year?

[Frank Giaramita]

Story of the year is seriosuly awesome...I love their 100% unprofessionalism, it rocks. Godsmack are the biggest douche fuck cunt cock Alice in chains rip-off bastards ive ever heard in my life..they should eat shit and burn in the 5th layer of hell.

Well we know someone didn't pass 6th grade english.

[sidewalks]

He probably didn't think to worry about his grammar skills while he was ranting about his friends getting the shit kicked out of them for no reason.

[CROMagnon]

Three cro-magnon jock fucks grabs our tour manager and holds him still so one guy could pummel his face.

I swear I had nothing to do with it.
Seriously that sucks. Even if I didn't like Story of the Year, that would still suck.

[moore182]

I love Story of the Year

[ohlookitspaul]

seriously. i'm a fan of story of the year but even if i weren't, this is complete bullshit.

[Nashional]

lawsuit.

[xThursdayxPTWx]

that sucks, but i think he overreacted a bit with the whole nazi/jock/whatever bullshit.

[I am the scene]

Well we know someone didn't pass 6th grade english.


and you're a fucking idiot. So all ends well

[Sloaner]

I'm behind all of this. HAHAHAHAHAHA
you're so cruel

[mightymilktea]

I'm not a huge Story Of The Year fan, but I like them. On the other hand, I think Godsmack is just a leftover from that shitty Puddle Of Mud/Let's be angry with my father and my life Rock music era. Sorry if I offended any Godsmack/Puddle of Mud fans.

[Death 2 Traitor]

Rad. Who listens to Story of the Year?

A...You are a douche-bag

B...Even If you don't like them, that is fucked up

C...You are still a douche-bag

[Death 2 Traitor]

You wanna look at spelling??

Look at Godsmack's front page!!

LUACHES!! YEAH~!

douche-bages

[heXther]

I feel like a big part of this story is missing...it just doesn't make any sense at all

[EndlessMike]

All I want to know is, where the fuck is the videotape of this? I would pay money to see that, maybe even $9.99. :mfight:

[mightymilktea]

A...You are a douche-bag

B...Even If you don't like them, that is fucked up

C...You are still a douche-bag

Jared fucking rocks. He is the king. That is all that matters.

Story of the Year is always getting into fights

[b1ink82]

Alright, first of all, Story of the Year is incredibly disappointing. Did nobody read the spread on them in Alternative Press a few months back? This band is only out for the money. They don't care what style of music they play, they don't care who listens to them - as long as they get paid, they're cool. They haven't been around that long. They had another band like Blue Monkey or something like that and it was a totally different genre. They just jumped on the bleeding heart emocore genre that seems so big right now to make a few bucks. Oh, and they grew mohawks and gauged their ears. Sweet, dudes. Now let's see how many more singles they can put out with the word "Die" in the title alone.

Second of all, this guy is no better than Godsmack. He could have at least been humble about the whole thing, or possibly more objective in his description. Not that if I got my shit wrecked I wouldn't be pissed, but half of that story is probably twisted, judging by the 6th-grader-esque eloquency in writing style, with the word fuck and shit interjected between every other word, and the fact that he's still calling people "jocks" (who cares about "jocks" anymore besides Good Charlotte? Boo hoo). Furthermore, putting a story online like that completely invalidates the situation by responding so immaturely as to slander Godsmack like that. No, I am not a Godsmack fan, even less so than I am a fan of Story of the Year, but seriously, with the way that Story of the Year handled that situation, they deserved to be hit. That's just terrible PR.

Nice work, Story of the Year. Way to go.

[Brett727272]

judging by the pics on their site... i'd be pissed off too and might use some random profanity, i think they earned it

you're judging a band based on a one page interview and a one page document posted on absolutepunk.net. I'm going out on a limb here, but i think they have more to their personalities than 2 pages of BS.
1) you don't know them
2) you don't know the situation
3) judging a band based on their song titles is more immature than using the word "jock"
4) assuming the story is twisted and basing you're whole judgement around that assumption is also immature
5) nobody deserves to be hit, that's just as immature as your assumptions. Throwing punch's is a very very last resort.

the list goes on.

[CarPoolTim]

remember when Big Blue Monkey went into the studio to record with John Feldman (goldfinger's front man) and he had a a few productions tips for example he helped rewrite every song changing the structure, adding more hooks and changing the feel around completely so they could sell records.

ACTUALLY it was a 4 page interview, which for AP is a long interview and is considered a full spread. By a reporter who spent A LOT of time with the band. How do you know the band so closely? You could tell by the way the article was written that the reporter disliked the band and felt they were a cheap rip off. BUT my point wasn't to bash on Story of the Year; it was to point out that, although they were attacked, verbally attacking, immaturely at that, their attackers does nothing to improve the situation. That's called slander. It was clearly not an objective description of the situation.
On top of all of that, it is most definately NOT immature to assume that the story was twisted and somewhat angled judging from the way that the story was told. As you will learn in a few years when you go into High School, that's called reading from context. It's fair to make an assumption based on tone and word choice. Therefore, basing my "judgement" (more like my assertion that throwing around curse words doesn't make being hit any better) on that article is not immature, which was a poor word choice in the first place.
No, nobody deserves to be hit. But being hit doesn't give you the right to call any of them a "nazi" or a "cro-magnon jock fuck."

Have you been jumped at a show before? by security, production and management? Than shut up, because you can't relate IN ANY WAY. I also said it's immature to assume and base a judgement on your assumptions... which it is. You can't base a true feeling on a detail that might not even be true. As far as im concerned, being HIT (as you could see by the pics on their website) constitutes the use of a few deragatory words...they just got pummeled, they're allowed to be pissed off. It's words against fists and you're telling me it's wrong to use certain words?

[Frank Giaramita]

Case in point my man, exactly

Obviosuly you aren't familiar with Mark Trombino's effect on Blink 182's dude ranch. heh, talk about re-writing songs. Starting Line, Finch, The Used, Mest, Thursday, MCR, TBS. Listen to old songs that were re-written and palced on a new cd....tell me the band chanegd that by themselves? BULL SHIT. it's called getting signed and being hooked up with a producer. Not saying it's right...but it's reality and it's the business. Read Moses Avalon.

HAHA okay, yeah. Why don't YOU tell ME about Mark Trombino's effect on Blink 182's dude ranch, huh? I've heard all of the original demos for that cd and the songs haven't changed a bit other than recording quality. You have no idea what you are talking about.
You're no better than Story of the Year. When you get hit, go ahead, call your attacker a cro-magnon jock fuck. See if we care. But let me inform you of something in the real world that we call tact. I don't care who the hell you are, calling your attacker a ridiculous and utterly terrible string of uncoherent profane words that you might hear from a fifth grader is definately stooping to Godsmack's level. Say what you want, though.

[Absolute Mest]

Now let's see how many more singles they can put out with the word "Die" in the title alone.

You're a fucking douche. You don't know the band at all and you make these BS judgements. Who cares if they're not humble, they got their fucking asses kicked and got shit from the cops, wouldn't you be pissed too? They're different people from you and they handle situations differently. It's cool that you'd be humble if you got your ass kicked but no one gives a fuck about you in this situation. Who cares if you calls people 'jocks', why do you care what he calls other people? I like Story Of The Year, I couldn't give two shits if they're in it for the money, I like the music and their live performances. If you don't like them then don't listen to them.

If I got my ass kicked I doubt i'd pay attention to my fucking grammar. It's the fucking internet, who cares about grammar? You're a fucking shithead. I'd like to see you and 3-4 of your friends outnumbered and get your ass kicked by weight lifting assholes and then after you get harassed by cops and still keep your head cool. But whatever, it's still fucking low to be the person that threatens and the person that punches first. Godsmack and their crew should eat shit and die. What a bunch of pussy ass bitches not to even say a word after you find out your crew kicked another band's ass for some bs reason.

[Frank Giaramita]

Have you been jumped by an overwhelming amount of people at an event that is supposed to be a GOOD TIME? For you to comment, judge, and favor any of the two side is absolutely LUDACRIS coming from someone who really has absolutely no knowledge of what it would feel like. That's like me complaining about PMS cramps, it's not going to happen. I guess you havent read Trombino's interviews? Atleast the one's he's done with Chris Fredricks (sp?) about two years back. Read that shit, you might learn something useful. The fact that you can try to convince me that SOTY was able to get signed without ANY knowledge of song writing is a joke. Especially being that the first single their LABEL chose was a song written way way before they were even signed, with the same hook and all (just one less verse). Yeah...they changed their sound to suit the screamo fad...sure...by one verse.

[b1ink82]

Godsmack and their crew should eat shit and die. What a bunch of pussy ass bitches not to even say a word after you find out your crew kicked another band's ass for some bs reason.

TECHNICALLY, by making alligations against Godsmack like that, you're negating your own argument that I shouldn't judge a band before I know them. Perhaps Godsmack DID say something after their crew beat up Story of the Year. But the article didn't say anything about that, did it? So therefore, you too, by your own standards, are making BS accusations that might not be true. But 'm sorry, I didn't know you were such good friends with Story of the Year. I'll lay off your homies. I'm sick of arguing with such a clearly biased, uneducated, and stubborn couple of kids.

I'd be happy to read it. Post a link or tell me where to find it and I'm all over it.

i wish i could, it was on a wesbite a while back named "punkcore.com". They also were one of the first to psot the dreaded Midtown Interview as well as DTR's response. The website doesnt exist anymore but I'm sure you could come acorss the interview somewhere if you looked on google hard enough

Hey what about that Midtown interview? What exactly went down? My friend and I had suspected that Midtown and DTR had a falling out, but we didn't know. Did those articles address that? What went down exactly? Apparently Gabe from Midtown and Richard Reines from DTR are still friends...

They article said Sully walked by their dressing room and didn't say anything. Im not pulling it out of my ass.

i actually managed to save that one? want it? You can IM me here rwetkerlktgm. The thing is seriosuly like 10 pages long...literally. It took me about an hour and a half to read the whole thing but you'll learn A LOT about both DTR and midtown from it. It tells you a lot about the music industry as well and how many back stabbing really take place. Its VERY VERY interesting.

I'm sure all of this is true. We all know guys just go around kicking ass for no reason. Oh, and that cops don't do anything. I'm sure that's what the story was. Either way...I wish they would've used their little scissor kicks from their videos to kick some ass. Come on fellas, at least put a fight up. I also enjoy how they bragged about everything...

"The show was in an amphitheater. We made everyone in the crowd jump, and asked everyone in the lawn to come down to the front of the stage. I can totally understand how this might have caused a little bit of a panic for the local security, but the show was sucking, so we had to make it rock. It's not like there was a riot or anything. It ruled"
-That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. 'YEAAA BRAH WE MADE THAT SHIT RIP. THAT SHOW FUCKING SUCKED TIL HIT THE STAGE FUCKER. YEAH!'

'I did get to punch a dude in the face a couple of times. That ruled. Dan got to punch their production manager in the face, and Phil, god love Phil...He picked up a metal box and smashed the pussy face production manager in the head with it.'
-HXC BROO!! Stop bragging and go back to making awful songs with awful names produced by awful producers.

Chances are, if I was 300 lbs, and I was within 15 feet of these guys, I'd probably kick their asses too. Not for no reason of course, but for the fact that they're idiots.

Wow dude, you're cool. Just cause you don't like the band doesn't make them idiots. You're not very rational after getting your ass kicked. And kicking someone's ass cause you think they're dumb is fucking retarded.

[combatchuckaa]

His use of profanity discredits his story a lot. Who cares if he got in a fight and was mad. I've seen far more intelligent and well-thought out discourses of a fight or disagreement that made me connect with the so-called "victim." He did exactly the opposite, and in doing so, screwed himself. I have no pity for him. Part of the story is missing.

[blinkredstar]

i want to hear what really happened, but we probably will never know. *shrugs*

[MistaChang]

If I got jumped by some fatass metal-wannabe bastards I'd fucking rant and rave too, sucks for them, the pictures look pretty nasty.

[Bear v Shark]

They're idiots because of the way they told the story. It's obviously not true. How could that much shit happen? Come on, they acted like it was a big conspiracy cause they just ROCKED OUT TOO FUCKING HARD FUCKERS!

But that's just what I got from the story, and a deeper depreciation for saying fuck every other word.

[CROMagnon]

you're so cruel
Thanks. I try.

[Absolute Mest]

dude, it's one person telling the story, not the whole band.

[robhimself]

i think story of the years a pretty good fuckin band and i've always hated godsmack and this is just another reason to. i say start a war. get story of the year and give them some weapons of mass destruction and then set godsmack and there crew and any fans of there shitty music in a desert with caves and let them hide. then let s.o.t.y. hunt them down over a matter of months or even years and see how the world changes. i'm sure everyone would become a lot happier. and then, if you wanted to have some real fun, get another shitty band (slipknot preferably) and put them in another shitty surrounding and give up on the fight for godsmack and kill slipknot. it would be great for publicity!

[archamedes]

everyone seems to bash on bands because a producer helped them out with their songs. The truth is EVERY band is helped by a producer in some way or another - and theres NOTHING wrong with it. Ill kick the bands ass who thinks they are to high and mighty to take the advice of a producer who has put out many successful albums. The truth is its taking advice from a person who is wiser then you are. Its not saying "oh lets change our sound to be better" its saying "this guy has a really good idea, i never thought about doing it that way, lets try it. wow it worked that sounds pretty rad lets do that" - the truth is bands arnt trying to sell more cd's, they are trying to give their listener the best possible cd they can.

[brandonrocks]

i gained some respect for this band i hope they get in more fights

[jchausow]

A...You are a douche-bag

B...Even If you don't like them, that is fucked up

C...You are still a douche-bag

You could not include the entire quote? "Rad" was referring to Nicole C's joke. And "Who listen's to Story of the Year?" was referring to their many jockrocker fans. Godsmack sucks. Story of the Year sucks. It's too bad that they had to find each other and suck together. And it's too bad that thousands of fans will never again see their ticket money. The worst, though, is Death 2 Traitor's flagrant dishonesty. When including "the truth," include the whole truth, you slimey journalist.

[XPrettyXWasteX]

I like Story of the Year. But that's beside the point..

the point is: Godsmack sucks. The End.

EXACTLY my point earlier. Couldn't have said it better. Thanks man

[xxHOPESFALLxx]

I'm pretty neutral in this one, considering the fact that both bands are absolutely horrible. There is no way that Story Of The Year's account of what happened is completely true. I hardly believe that Story Of The Year "rocked too hard." There has to be a reason behind this. Though I'm sure all of Godsmack's crew are 40 year olds that suck at life and have mullets, I doubt that they would fight someone for rocking out too hard, which, again, I'm sure Story Of The Year did not.

[AlwaysPunkin45]

they both suck anyways

[fftlisgoodstuff]

they both suck anyways

Ok, i reg. just so i could say this.

For those of you saying "story of the year sucks", grow up. If it makes you happy, do this. Insert your favorite bands name instead of story of the years. Ok, now you should understand that what Godsmack and its crew did is out of line, and should be delt with. It doesnt matter what bands took place in this action, its the action its self that is at fault. And please, before you declare that one band sucks, think about your position in life and what they are doing for A LIVING. The band that you think "sucks" must be doing something right.

[Worm]

Okay now insert your favorite band in place of godsmack and see whose side you take.

Obviously we only have heard 1/2 of the story... but it sounds like Godsmack wasn't really involved...just their "people" haha...

yes producers change songs... it may not even be noticeable to a casual listener... some producers pride themselves on not gettting to involved.... but look at mutt lange.. the man has sold more freakin albums than the beatles...

I read through this whole huge list of 50 something posts and this is the only one that I liked. Well put. I got my ass kicked by 3 dudes last weekend and it sucked, sucked bad. My face looked worse than them though cause im more punk than everyone here. I even wore a wristband.

[foreverfallen]

Both bands suck. Props to Godsmack's crew, ha.

[Inthestars]

I love Story of the Year, but this seriously sounds like someone is Butthurt... I mean, dont be mad because your ass was kicked. Its done and over with. Take it like a man.

[heXther]

am I the only person who finds this story incredibly amusing? Im in a computer lab right now and people probably think I am crazy because I am just sitting here laughing to myself. Come on, story of the year rocks out too hard so they get their asses kicked? seriously. and the way he tells the story just makes it even funnier. yeah dude we totally got jumped. haha. I am not laughing that they got beat up (or jumped for NO reason, right no reason) I am laughing because I can just see him at his computer fiercly typing away his story thinking he's so badass. haha. oh by the way Bear V Shark you are hilarious.

[Frank Giaramita]

I tinhk this story is more valid than false just bc of the fact that SOTY had the nuts to admit that they got their asses kicked (which people NEVER EVER DO). If they were ballsy enough to tell people publically on their website that they got wrecked , than id find it hard to believe they'd lie about anything else. If they would've said.."fuck yeah, godsmack got all their production crew to jump us and take advantage of us and we seriosuly beat their asses in...we fucken destroyed them", than id be a little ehhh about believing them at all.

[xxHOPESFALLxx]

Both bands suck. Props to Godsmack's crew, ha.
ahahahaha
