NOW THAT’S THE PETER DOLVING WE KNOW AND LOVE
Friday, November 14th, 2008 at 1:52pm by Vince Neilstein
Just because Blabbermouth doesn’t pick up The Haunted frontman Peter Dolving’s MySpace blog rants anymore doesn’t mean we won’t. So if the guy doesn’t want to blog for MetalSucks (his one-off guest blog excluded), fuck it, we’ll just post ‘em anyway! In his latest blog du jour, Mr. Dolving posts an entire email exchange turned pissing match with an Australian fan (or ex-fan, as it were) named Scott. A simple question quickly devolves into a shit-storm of insults. When it comes to Dolving blogs, this is the way we like ‘em.
As you know we’ve played 4 shows in Australia. The Land Down Under.
Now to me, Oz is the other side of the planet, obviously. And besides the Triffids, Hunters and Collectors, Rupert Murdoch, Rugby and “G’day mate” I am painfully ignorant about this huge continent. As it were, we just had snow back home in Sweden and it being spring/summer(?) in Australia I asked, honestly wondering if there was anyone who had never seen snow. This kid, Scott must have been
waiting for a while to rag on my ass. Here’s the little drama that followed… enjoy

Oh, so you don’t like the truth from the horse’s mouth.I will say this again:
Just so you know, mountains do become ice-capped during the Australian winter (“how many people here have actually seen snow?,” ring any bell?? You said this at the Melbourne show).
Don’t be a hypocrite and become an ignorant.
I’ve been a fan of yours for years..
I was offended.
Don’t belittle our country into thinking there’s never snow here.
Have a nasty “unfocused” day.
Scott.

Date: 13 Nov 2008, 05:43 PMOh fuck off little brother. I asked a question, because I am aware I’m ignorant. I asked if there was snow here, and who has seen it. Shit, I don’t know. I’m just a fucking average dude and I am amazed at how cool I think Australia is. OK?
Peace / Peter

Good bye.

holy shit, there is no end to your selfrighteousness.fuck off. please. go away. I need people like you in my like like I need can cancer.
you expected? what fucking right do you have to go around expecting shit, obviously not expressing you fucking expectations, and THEN casting judgement after a slip against your little code of conduct?
do you have any fucking idea how that will fuck up your entire life dude?
get off it, accept the basic fact – NO ONE is perfect and it is OK not to be.

“Jesus asshole, you just chose the easy way didn’t you. Go fuck yourself, next time around, let me know when and where, I’ll come break your fucking face in pissant.”
Immaturity from a 39 yr old – will violence prove how better you are over anything said, OF COURSE NOT. That is fucking weak.
That was my point in my previous response – proving how ignorant and immature your response was.
And I did specifically voice what I did not expect of you – ignorance, and judged accordingly because I did look up to you. I am proud of the country I live in… and you are the ambassador from yours – This is not good enough.
If I went to Sweden for a day, I would not openly say to someone (or an audience for that matter) “Oh, where are the all deserts in this country – I’m so used to being in my own that it has to be wherever I go – Stereotypes for the win!”
NO, because I am not that fucking ignorant to say such garbage about a country I have never been to, I would have respect for them.I finished arguing with you a while ago, if I am this “pissant” – then why are you bothering anymore??
Pick someone of worth.
Good bye (FOR THE LAST TIME).
Put that in your blog.
….
So I did.I am amazed. Slapped on the wrist by a condescending 21-year old for being too immature…
I still don’t understand where he got the horse and the mouth from…
Well apparently I should know better. I just can’t figure out how my honest question on stage at a show in Australia, where I completely admitted to being amazed by the country and the climate, and sincerely wondered if there was anyone in the audience who had never seen snow, how could this piss of Scott? Is he a retard. Perhaps he’s a high functioning autist?
Actually, there was about 15 or 20 people lifted their hands. I thought it was fucking cool how we are all living in such different physical realities, it still being the same planet and all.
Perhaps this kid has alienation issues? Or wait, I get it, I am not allowed to be dork?
Whatever, but I found it interesting, irritating and really weird, because I don’t really get it. I mean, yes! I did insult him after that first mail, but what did he get pissed of about in the first place? I probably remind him of an abusive father?
Oh well…
Peace / Pete
Oh how I heart Peter Dolving and the great band that is the Haunted.
The Haunted suck.
god, australians are the worst. the number of times per week people ask me if i speak english, only to ask for change right afterwards is much worse than being asked “have you ever seen snow?”
someone should urinate in that dude’s cereal.
Fuck!…i’m australian!
I hope i’m that awesome when i’m 39.
I thought they only sold snow caps here in the states?
Violence proves/solves LOTS of things.
Uhh..what else…ehhh…OHH! I guess horses can type with self righteousness fluidly becuase they spend an awful lot of time not talking. WAKKA WAKKA!
That guy just wanted a reason to make himself feel superior to a “celebrity”. Seriously, who would get pissed off over the idea that someone said you don’t get snow? Hell I live 3 feet above sea level and haven’t seen snow in years.. I’m not going to get pissed about someone pointing that out, or the misconception of someone pointing that out.
Are we sure this kid isn’t a regular contributor to Special Ed Monthly?? Damn all Pete did was ask an honest question. I’m thrilled to the bone to see that he decided to blast this little turd into oblivion. The Haunted rawks!! Peter Dolving rawks!! Ignorant, douchebag elitists……not so much.
that kid’s a fuckin deuche bag…..i mean what a dick….who in the blue fuck would expect that there would be snow in australia???……i’ve never been there. i would like to go there. i would not expect to see snow. if i did, cool, if not, cool. i hope that little dick gets gang raped and gets aids. what a fuckin jackass.
Having just stepped inside from below freezing temperatures and snow on the ground…this little exchange amuses me more than it should.
Peter Dolving-a douchebag busting cool guy we can all support.
LOL if he’s that up tight about snow cant wait to see him dealing with a ur momma joke, maybe he had a bad experience with snow as a child? what nobody ever told you to stay away from the yellow snow?…and who won? the kid was dumb enough to keep replying back saying that he’s not that ingorant to reply back anymore?
p.s.I still love u Pete
When I was a kid, my cousins from Australia came to visit us in Canada in the middle of the winter. They were outside constantly cause they had never seen snow.
I just always figured since then, that there was no snow in Australia.
australia rules, but this kid definately doesn’t… i was going to go see the haunted in melbourne but couldn’t make it, was really pissed off and i’m sure the gig was excellent but i swear the retarded kid could of just answered pete’s question without being a smartarse, seriously he the kid must of been from sydney… fuck australian stereotypes
That douche has offended me because I unfortunately share his first name. I’ve never met or heard of another Scott that wasn’t a complete and utter asshole. Totally irrelevant to their exchange, but I’m pissed that he’s yet another asshole giving Scott’s around the world a bad name [pun not intended].
Pete Dolving ‘12.
Anyone else wanna comment on my Why I hate Aussies thread? Feel free! =D
Dolving apparently kicks ass. Totally adding him to my feeds.
Peter Dolving fucks your mam and asks for breakfast, what a hero.
To: Conor
eat shit and die you ignorant fuck!
from: Australia
@Gamma: Nice to meet you!
Damn, Dolving looks just like House, doesn’t he?
… yet another reason why i love Peter Dolving.
But what the fuck is with the hate towards Australians/Australia in these comments!? Because one retard decides to spout his mouth like a complete retard with too much red cordial in their system over something so unbelievably trivial, that warrants hatred of an entire culture of people!?! What the fuck? By doing that you’ve already lowered yourself to the first retards level… Australia is an awesome place, full of great people… much different to said retard.
oh and btw… Fuck you Conor.
I was at this show when he asked the crowd who had never seen snow. I don’t know what this kids problem is it wasn’t asked in a manner that would suggest he was being intentionally a smart ass or anything.
Lost a fan over that question?? What an idiot, more like lost a fan because the performance they gave that night was shitfull, i have never been so bored at a show in my entire life i ended up walking out of it before they even finished. Total lack of energy and no stage presence at all.
If anyone on on here was at this show i am sure they would agree the goth “whores” at the stop of the stairs gave a far better fucking performance that night.
