OH, SNAP: THE FEAR FACTORY FEUD HEATS UP

Sometimes we don’t want to face the truth about a certain situation. But sooner or later, you always have to be honest with yourself, or face a big ol’ ass whoopin’.
The reunited-but-not-really Fear Factory, which features original members Dino Cazares and Burton C. Bell but NOT Christian Olde Wolbers or Raymond Herrera, has apparently had to cancel not only what was to be their debut performance in Spain last night, but an entire German tour due to the ongoing legal battle over the band’s name.
Really, you have to wonder how the fuck it got this far that the group booked an entire tour without anyone checking if they had the legal rights to the name. Here’s my best guess about how the conversation between Dino Cazares and Burton C. Bell must’ve went:
BURTON: What should we call the new band?
DINO: How about Fear Factory? That’ll sell tickets.
BURTON: But what about Christian and Raymond? They’re not in the band anymore, and my royalty statements tell me they have a legal stake in this.
DINO: Ahh, they’ll never notice! C’mon, dude, let’s just call it Fear Factory.
BURTON: Well, Dino, I gotta say, I had my doubts, but your compelling argument has fully persuaded me. Fear Factory it is.
DINO: Great! Let’s take a photo to celebrate this monumental moment.
They take the above snap shot.
DINO: Awesome. I’m gonna go eat a baby.
Annnnnnnnnddddd, scene.
Holy shit, this is going to provide entertainment for the rest of the summer at least. I can just feel it.
-AR
Dino looks like he ate a baby cow
DINO: Great! Let’s take a photo to celebrate this monumental moment.
Burton: Hold on! I need to make sure my hair is in perfect alignment so that I can maximize my fivehead to its fullest potential…
hooooly shit. fuckin hilarious!
I lol’d
Seems like a pretty stupid thing to do, guess they just hoped the other two would forget and leave it. not gonnna happen if theres any money to be had by either side.
It’s like two bald guys fighting over a comb.
ha!
ohh fuck get over it…just tell christian n ray to continue with arkaea but get tommy vext as vox when jon howard can’t…i’d buy those records over the burton/dino old man factory anyday
pfft! Tommy – Arkaea over any band Dino is in – wtf?
Fuck tours i just wanna hear their new Music.
I told you that this would be the new Gorgoroth
you mean their gunna be gay?
who cares. demanufacture is the only album really worth a damn and thats already fourteen years old.
Agreed. They are so beat.
i disagree. demanufactures good, but obsolete and archtype are heavy as hell…check them out.
What are you 15? Obsolete was barely good and archtype is the biggest peice of shit ever. Learn your music.
15-year olds don’t know who FF are.
and Obsolete was cool
Shut up.
It should be “gone”, not “went”:
Here’s my best guess about how the conversation between Dino Cazares and Burton C. Bell must’ve GONE:
Holly crap how old is Burton now?
40.
dino’s 41.
not quite geriatric but damn, i guess i was pretty young when i got into them. i’m still in the crowd that believes Demanufacture was their best and everything was downhill after that…
not that i won’t at least check out whatever new shit they come up with.
they should get Dave mustain to do a solo on every track on the new album! Worked wonders for Static-x!! That way they could name it Dave mustane´s Fear Factory and all would be good!! It´s a hit i can feel it!!
I’ll listen to it but I don’t expect great things.
FF went downhill after Dino left so maybe with him back, they’ll recover.
The thing I like about this campaign is that it proves that this record spams blog comments, showing that there is no money to advertise it and in turn proves that it probably sucks a lot of dick.No one will listen to it unless Dave Mustaine himself endorses it.
You are a tool.If there is a God, you will be the waste of life that Dino eats next.
yawwwwwwnnn oh sorry was i paying attention to you different band buddy
who cares!!!!! go away!!!!
shit wrong post i was responding to the dick about the mike albert thing sorry dude
