I think I lost IQ points while reading that.

Fuck you, Ben Weasel. Grow up.

i like that he thinks it's the other members who gave screeching weasel a bad name/reputation. :hitself:

The whole situation makes me mad and reading his pre-show interview makes it worse. If he didnt want to play SXSW so bad and had such a bad attitude for the bands there then fuck him. He plays a dead genre anyways.

Just makes him seem like even more of a tool. /shrug

Hey now...it's not Screeching Weasel, it's Ben Weasel and the Pips (duh).

I've always liked Screeching Weasel.

Everybody hates Screeching Weasel now, and it's a lot more fun to like them.

I think Joe Queer said it best many years ago:

"Ben Weasel, he's an asshole. Ben Weasel, he's a jerk"

Fuck You Ben Weasel

So to reiterate, the band never split up for a second; I merely pink-slipped the dead weight and methodically replaced them with the meanest, leanest lineup of stand-up mofos I could find, every last one of them as disgusted as I am with this ludicrous show of puritanical finger-wagging over the past few months. The boys have been replaced by men. The ex-Weasels didn’t give a damn about what went down on stage at SXSW until the Internet told them they ought to. Then, after not giving a shit for two days, they suddenly grew a conscience. Rest assured, fans, no such weak-minded milksops are in the current lineup.

Think of it this way – I’m taking back the reins from the classless, spineless, frightened children who dragged Screeching Weasel’s name through the mud with their dishonest, ass-covering press release; and all the cheap shot cowards who kicked me while I was down are getting a horseshoe straight up the ass!

He reacted poorly. Carry on. Continue hating the guy you didn't even know you hated before this.

Be an adult and accept responsibility for your actions. Stop trying so hard to be "punk" and be a man.

Delusional is the same word I thought of after reading his reply. What a goon.
