Tour de Force

MISSING AN IWABO SHOW IS MORE EMBARRASSING THAN GETTING A BONER DURING 5TH PERIOD SEX-ED

 Monday, May 4th, 2009 at 3:30pm by

Here’s an interview our friends at Metal Injection conducted with our friends in IWRESTLEDABEARONCE at New England Metal & Hardcore Festival a couple of weeks back. It’s a spirited romp, as are most conversations led by MI’s Rob Pasbani (or, as many of you call him when he’s spotted out at shows, “Metal Injection Guy!”).

But in the interest of being completely honest, I should let you know that I’m really posting it as an excuse to remind you that IWABO are out on the road RIGHT NOW as part of a MetalSucks co-sponsored trek being headlined by The Human Abstract and also featuring Oh, Sleeper, Vanna, A Tragic Victory and To Speak of Wolves. All the cool kids are going. And if you don’t go, they’ll know you’re not cool and no one will ever want to make out with you or touch you where your bathing suit covers again. Seriously, I know a kid who missed the tour when it came through his town last week, and then he was instantly made a social outcast and hung himself. Peer pressure peer pressure peer pressure.

So watch this interview, then get tour dates after the jump, so that mommy and daddy will still love you and God won’t send you to hell.

    this interviewer guy has to go, hes a fuckin tool

    • keepitwolf

      rob is the shit. its the rest of those hipster faggots that are the tools

  • Ryd1ZZ

    Just saw the San Diego show on Friday. IWABO kicked some ass. It seemed like almost everyone was there to see IWABO and by the time Human Abstract came on the crowd was WEAK. I feel bad for Human Abstract because they tried to get people going but it was no use. Overall it was a good show for the cost of the ticket.

    • ozzyzak

      I concur. band was awesome, but they totally shafted human abstract. What a bunch of fag holes.

  • balls

    shit band

    fuck off faggots

  • Kevin

    Getting a boner is only embarrassing if you have a small cock.

  • MightyBlue

    Oh wait…you guys were actually SERIOUS about this group of asswipe hipster retards?

    metalsucks is now dead to me. dead.

    *runs off to unfollow you on twitter

  • keepitwolf

    you guys posted this just to read the comments

    • Noel

      I agree.

  • Brock

    I saw them live and Krista was sick so they just did basically an instrumental and it was still cool. It is funny because I remember a post from here saying people either love them or hate them, there is really no in between, and I think that’s true.

  • Kevin

    Does anyone actually like this band….
    Seriously?

    • Kevin

      This Kevin does.

  • \m/Eluveitie\m/

    I didn’t know David Spade was in a band

  • Mancubus

    The only reason why I’d see this band is to buy their, “Metal Just Got Gay” shirt.

  • Aaron R A

    While I do enjoy this band’s music, their idiotic behavior is really aggravating.

    • ozzyzak

      I like to think of this band as what would happen if you (or I, I guess) made a band with your dorky friends and shit got big for you too quickly.

      I ran into a couple of the members, Krista, and the drummer I think, and they seemed pretty chill, they genuinely seemed surprised at the turn-out and love they were given. They seem like a band who was used to goofing off and having fun and now they actually have to tour for real. I know there’s a joke there, it’s obvious, anyone can make it, whatever.

  • THE (enlightened) CARL

    You know I have talked about not understanding where the hostility comes from for this band. I mean its one thing not to like them, but people are down right malevolent hear. However I have put some thought into this and I am begining to understand why people hate this band so much:

    Keepitwolf says: “. . . those hipster faggots . . .”
    balls says “fuck off faggots”

    I sometimes forget that metal attracts a certain kind of machoism that I guess this band intimidates. Yeah, intimidates. They scare the uber – machismo because they are the opposte of anything meant to be looked at as “tough” or “brutal” or “kvlt” even. Do not be fooled! Whether you are a metal elitist or a “scene kid” image has everything to do with it for the purists.

    I personally never got into metal to be “bad ass”. I got into metal for an appreciation of technical music. Of coarse I love the brutal and aggressive aspect, but I understand unlike alot of people hear that there will always be plenty of Glen Bentons and Jamie Jastas out there and that IWABO will not undo that.

    • oblivion

      there not fags , there REALLY nice down to earth people. i met them at metal fest and mid convo we watched some hippie douche bag get put in a patty wagon , IT WAS HILLARIOUSE. But that aside, yah they may look like hippseters or scene kids but if uve sat and listened to them and seen them play the put on a fucking brutal grindcore show.! ya its silly but in reality isnt the music we love silly in its own evil lil way?whats wrong with having fun with the shit?ya krista look like a girl ud see in hot topic at ur local mall but HAVE U HEARD HER SING! i thought there was a guy sining for a while till i saw the videos.So in all reality are u guys jealouse there making it big for “not being a seriouse metal band” and not looking like they play DnD in ther moms basements drinking moutain dew. thats not fair at all.
      IwAbO FTW!

  • Uglymicrowave

    omfg i wanna stick my dick in the singer so hard its retarted…i just jerked off to her being interviewed

    • Mancubus

      Dude, she’s not hot at all

    • TurdFerguson

      I’d hit it, with my penis, not a shovel…not unless that was the only way i could get it, you know?

  • ceth

    I dont know if I have ever wanted to punch somone as much as i wanted to punch the dumb ass sticker guy after the 467th sticker he stuck on Rob’s crotch. I kep waiting for him to stop but he actually did it for the whole entire video. We get it, you are a silly prankster!!

  • Blackthorned

    Creed’s bonus tracks annihilate this band.

  • bobby

    i’d rather listen to nickleback then this shit band.

  • MightyBlue

    @enlightened Carl. Dude get off your high and mighty enlightened horse dude. I have no problem with gay people. Hell, Big Gay Gahl is awesome, and Rob Halford has brought the Gay to Metal for decades now, and everyone over the age of 20 knew that all along the way. It was a metal right of passage to realize that Rob Halford was, you know, actually gay. Heck, give me a cool band of actual gay dudes (Accept? I kid…) playing some good metal over these hipster douchetards any day. ozzyzak above was closer to the point that it seems like these guys are doing it for the goof, and it comes across that way to me. It’s like it’s a giant Saturday Night Live skit, which while entertaining, I wouldn’t call great art, you know what I mean? I work with people like this, these hipster ‘tards who like get into metal because it’s suddenly “cool” and they start talking about how cool “The Sword is”..or how righteous Black Sabbath are. No, fuck you douchetard. You little arty fags are, as Henry Rolling put it, just so fucking lightweight. Guaranteed the members of this band will in five years time all be in some kind of euro-trash disco revival ensemble shitting on their work in this shitty little band as an “immature phase” or some shit. Mark my words. Meanwhile, Anvil will still be touring somewhere.

    • \m/Eluveitie\m/

      In five years they’ll all have jobs at Starbucks or Best Buy

    • THE (misunderstood) CARL

      Umm, where did I say anything about gay people? I was speaking on image not sexual orientation.

      Mightyblue: “I work with people like this, these hipster ‘tards who like get into metal because it’s suddenly “cool”

      lol, and then you fall right into what I was talking about. Unless you actually work with the members of IWABO, you have no right assuming they are about anything. I mean, no one spends years practicing instruments and spending weeks on tour and hours in the studio for a genre of music just because its “cool.”

      IMAGE, that is what my post was about, and IMAGE is what you are about. I’m sorry not everyone can be as brutal as you.

  • Joe

    this bands boring where the bands that party and fuck biotches

  • Conduit

    I’ll keep it simple this time. Fuck these assholes!

  • Aya

    IWABO is cool especially the vocalist. :)
    Wait, hardcore and metal festival, “Metal Injection Guy” owe us Sylosis interview. More than one week has passed! :/

    • Aya

      take it back. I just found that intie. lol

  • DOC

    I am the National President for a Heavy Metal Club.
    I met the members of IWABO at Dyers Burgers after an Otep Show here in Memphis, TN., all those who talk down about the members of this band are very wrong, these are some kick ass partying mofos. As far as all the BS name calling towards the band as a whole…get yer ass up there and then talk…. I for one like the band, and really like the band members……if you don’t, then why waste time talking shit about them….you should be listening something you do like.
    HORNZ HIGH!!!!!
