so theres a lot of talk on here

[M. Diddy Oien]

about btbam not being on victory records. this hasn't been announced, its just a thought that some board members think might be happening. stop saying that its going to happen. don't know why this is irritating me.

:1pirate:

[pale666]

what the fuck? what's the goss?

[M. Diddy Oien]

goss?

[pale666]

The goss!
Since when were they going to ditch Victory? and who told you this?

[M. Diddy Oien]

its a speculation by some board member s on this board on why they are pushing the release of this cover album.

and a lot of no0bzorz took it seriously. i don't know, im just bitching.
:3ninja:

[the fucking bunnies]

gossip...

[DeleonBAND]

it'd totally suck if they sigend to roadrunner and started having a label suggesting what to write.that would be uber lame.

[pale666]

They should transfer to neurotic!

[\m/]

i think it just has to do with ozzfest....i'm sure they had a few options and decided to go with a cover cd....

just take note of all the victory bands on ozzfest last yeah and the releases from those bands last summer.

also it cost like $75,000 to get onto the tour...pretty much with that tour you put your money in then try to make it all back

[bobbydanger]

i wouldn't pay that kind of money to play ozzfest, doesn't matter what band i would be in.

[M. Diddy Oien]

don't you think victory puts in the money to play ozzfest, and btbam makes more than that, then gives victory the profit, then victory gives them a check for way less than what they made? i'd think that that is what would happen.

[bobbydanger]

a.k.a. i wouldn't do that.

[Hoovooloo]

I'd do that twice. Maybe more.

[ten_second_infinity]

They should transfer to neurotic!
:banana: :lol:

[SHE'S HEROIN]

god damnit i wish my band could make real money

[DeathIsIn...]

I think they should go to Trustkill. Their bands are the best.

[Wiggles]

I'm going to assume thats sarcasm and move on

[mircfool]

I'm going to assume thats sarcasm and move on

hahaha. yeah. trustkill - ptw = shit.

[\m/]

you got to remember that btbam really isn't THAT big.

for example they got $400 a night for the bleeding through tour...etid got around $1000-$1500 (can't remember which it was) and bleeding through got $3000...haste the day was only at $250 though.

and yes, victory fronts the band the money and then the band tries to make it back...having a new product helps make money.

[*RBD*]

Wheres the damn tab book.

[sideslash]

you're kidding yourself if you think neurotic would sign btbam. they're making a name for their label by working with original, innovative death metal bands. btbam couldn't be any farther from that description if they tried.

[*RBD*]

Bit harsh is'nt it?

[agenda suicide]

sad but true.

[pale666]

you're kidding yourself if you think neurotic would sign btbam. they're making a name for their label by working with original, innovative death metal bands. btbam couldn't be any farther from that description if they tried.

hmmmm, I would have to disagree. BTBAM play some pretty damn original shit IMO.

[Unhallowed]

no they dont man.
quit kidding yourself.

[mayhcaek]

Original is the last word I'd use.

[pale666]

Name one band who remins you of BTBAM then?

[Unhallowed]

opeth

[pale666]

opeth = original.

I've always thought btbam were original, from the self-titled release all the way to alaska. Some of the shit they do sends shivers down my spine and still does.... and no other band can do that to me. In my eyes, that is what creates originality.

[KaffeinE]

opeth sounds nothing like btbam... they're both original, but compare blackwater park to the silent circus, or alaska to ghost reveries. they don't sound all that alike.

[keep dreaming]

anyone know why the hell victory doesnt release their bands onto itunes? do bands actually make money off that shit?

[Sudden Intoxication]

it's kind of annoying to see people saying "btbam sucks and is unoriginal" then saying "cloacal kiss is definitely better in all aspects fuck yea dude i'm sorry but that's the sad truth"

even more annoying are the people that reply to these comments(i like cloacal kiss as well)

just thought i'd post this to ask both camps to stfu

imoimo

[Supreme]

btbam are going to sign with def jam south and will have guest appearances by ludacris, T.I., E40, and lil' jon and the eastside boyz.

[DeathIsIn...]

c'mon! trustkill has bands like bleeding through, 18 visions!, crash romeo, hopesfall,throwdown! all these bands are the best metal bands ever!!!

[a) coulrophobia]

opeth sounds nothing like btbam... they're both original, but compare blackwater park to the silent circus, or alaska to ghost reveries. they don't sound all that alike.

Agreed.

[seijuromitsurugi]

btbam draws obvious influence from opeth... but i don't see a problem with it..

[Sudden Intoxication]

when i think abt btbam's influences i think of dream theater way before i think of opeth

[bobbydanger]

same.
