    @TheCDFCannibalKIng Uhm, you’re a bit of a cunt for judging them aren’t you?
    They are ACTually different to the other bands you compared them to.
    What’s your problem?
    Not gonna lie, you seem like one of then no life low life twats that sit on their ass all day looking for things to insult.
    Fair enough it’s your own opinion but keep it to yourself.
    Everyone’s different and you saying that shit isn’t going to change the band and it’s fans.
    So I’m just gonna put it out there: Get a life.

    @03ForeverAndAlways03
    forgot to mention, i read something in a tv magazine about this band, no pictures though. and it mentioned that this was metal or something.
    but its fucking emo bullshit. and i want to cure the world of this cancer!
    so stop being emo and listen ONLY to SLAYER.

  40. TheJasepetrucci says:

    can i ask you fans a favor, stop going on other videos saying that “THESE GUYS ARE HEAVIER” or better or whatever…. they are shit to some and there amazing to others, people have there own views on music, i know crazy….. so from most people, don’t comment on another bands page how “this band is better, and …. is shit ” if its not even the same genre…

    Thank you very much
