ASHLEY JEAN RESPONDS TO METALSUCKS

 Thursday, February 4th, 2010 at 11:20am by

Yesterday I wrote a pretty harsh criticism of God Save RockandRoll, a new blog written by the wife of Atreyu’s Brandon Saller, Ashley Jean.

Well, I guess word got back to Ashley Jean in record time: as of this morning, she has removed her improper French translation of the phrase “God Save Rock and Roll” (why oh why didn’t I take a screen cap?!?!), and has responded to some of the things I said in my blog – without directly naming MetalSucks, natch. Here’s an excerpt:

This site is NOT an advertisement for my husband. This is is NOT a place that I will criticize your beliefs or opinions in music (EX: I will not reviewing records) I may suggest something that has touched me and share music that I love but it is only an opinion so take it as you will.

And it is NOT a place where I will place blame on any fan of art. I just want to point out what has been wrong in the past and come up with solutions to resolve the decline. I want this blog to be the match that starts a beautiful flame that will spread all over and reach many. We can band together and eventually we will see change.

Thank you all again from the bottom of this rock and roll heart. Keep coming back and lets
Save rock and roll!!!

I’d love to believe Ashley Jean. I want to eat a bag of crow on this one. I guess we’ll find out – I’ve added her blog to my RSS feed so I can keep you, oh dear readers, abreast of her little project.

I will take this one last little jab at my new pal, A.J.: at the start of her post, she writes “I have to say the outpouring of support to this blog has been overwhelming.” I don’t know what her traffic is actually like, but as of this writing, she’s averaging about five comments per post. Which doesn’t exactly strike me as an “overwhelming outpouring of support.” But what do I know, I’m an asshole.

      now you be respectful, she’ll show us her penis when she’s good and ready.

    i dunno man. somebody associated with atreyu crying out for the salvation of rock and roll? I thought the whole concept of atreyu was predicated on the destruction of music. i hate music when i hear atreyu, anyway.

  • Zoker

    Now this is why I love this place.

  • skullsession

    She looks like a tranny.

    • Me

      it’s a tarp!

  • lordassenfroth

    so far, i have seen any resolutions to any problem, just her stating things that have been obvious for years and years now. thats like buying a 1000 peice puzzle opening the box and saying “hey this is puzzle”, rather than attempting to put it together.

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/Troy-Rickard/1516566408 Troy Rickard

      She probably would say: “hey this is puzzle.”

      “EX: I will not reviewing records”

      …

  • Facebook User

    why do i care about this again?

  • tyler09

    maybe she’s just pissy that her husband’s a terrible singer

    A review IS an opinion, idiot.

    So how about you stop bitching about music dying when you’re married to the jackass that made Bad Grammar Use a Comma and abandoned his entire fanbase in order to make money(and then sold LESS), stop writing subpar blogs and actually take a more active interest in helping the music industry, and stop making Cher look feminine.

    Thank you.

  • Dwarfskeet

    Do you guys copy and paste the excerpts from her blog? I sure hope so, because there are so many typos it’s ridiculous. She seriously writes like she just graduated from the 5th grade.

  • Slaughterhouse

    Who’s Atreyu?

    So when did Blackie Lawless get the implants

    • lordassenfroth

      you win the comments hands down. funny shit.

    • 36thoughtless

      I just laughed so ridiculously hard. +10

    • Mutt Weiler

      It was the only way Blackie could stay relevant… oh, sorry , maybe not.

  • reznik

    rock & roll is already dead and so is metal

    • PD

      I would argue that Metal is actually quite alive…or slowly digging its way out of the grave. When you’ve got bands like BTBAM selling out venues of 500 or so capacity, that’s a start. As stupid as this may sound, I strongly believe video games like the Guitar Hero/Rock Band are able to play a small part in exposing people to metal. (Only one, but still) Point in case: I have a friend who likes Dragonforce because of Guitar Hero 3. One more person exposed to metal.

      • Hammer_Smashed_Hurtt

        Good observation.

      • Biff_Tannen

        Metal was never ‘dead’, and it certainly never crawled out of the grave. Maybe to you, who seems to judge the metal scene by how many 15 year old deathcore fans you can cram into a shitty venue.

        • Hammer_Smashed_Hurtt

          Dude, i wasnt being sarcastic I agree 100%. Both with Rcok band/ Guitar hero exposing metal to the masses, and how Metal has never been “Dead”. Its only dead when Idiots for Rolling Stone Print tarash like that on their cover. Fuck em what do they know.

        • http://www.last.fm/user/Jugglemonkey Jugglemonkey

          Crawling it’s way out of a grave sounds pretty metal to me.

  • Frampler

    Rock and Roll was the shit Buddy Holly played, and he’s deader than Richard Nixon.

    • TXHellbilly

      Whats wrong with Buddy Holly?

    • TXHellbilly

      I would hardly call what Buddy Holly did “shit”

    • pigchop

      Buddy Holly was more rock n’ fucking roll than most of the kids would know today. And that just sucks.

      • narcopolypse

        hell yeah dudes and his latter-day doppelganger Marshall Crenshaw. his first record anyway is pure Buddy awesomeness.

  • Facebook User

    And even those few comments seem to go unread. Her nearly-as-bad german version is still there, despite being pointed out just a tiny bit below it.
    God except rocks and rolls.

    • Facebook User

      Also, I keep thinking about Courtney Love whenever I read her stuff… a WAY less annoying and not as dumb-as-fuck Courtney Love but still… Am I alone there?

      • http://www.last.fm/user/Jugglemonkey Jugglemonkey

        I’m not sure many could top Courtney Love in that department, but she’s certainly doing her best.

  • Hammer_Smashed_Hurtt

    I still call Bullshit. Whatever. This screams Scene.

    Unless you are Angus and or Malcolm Young, Keith Richards, Or anyone of that pedigree you pretty much have no room to discuss ” Rock N Roll” .

  • wolfgoose

    (EX: I will not reviewing records)

    Wow, after she’s knocked for an improper translation, she lacks further on grammar. I will not reviewing records…say it like Borat, and it sounds ok.

    • Joshie

      This site is NOT an advertisement for my husband. This is is NOT a place that I will criticize your beliefs or opinions in music. This shirt is NOT black.

  • brandonmetal

    i don’t know what atreyu sounds like, but it seems that one would only listen to them if one would happen to have a certain emo-y haircut and tattoos.

    and really, has anyone ever associated MTV with actual music? i mean, other than commercials (ie, music videos) for pop singers?

  • pigchop

    Well…just because you did not score a screen cap is no reason we should not be able to enjoy what was: http://f.imagehost.org/0227/Le_rock.jpg

    • Hammer_Smashed_Hurtt

      WIN!!! You Sir win the comment of the year!!

      Could not have said it better.

  • Ben

    So, this begs the question, how many comments per article was metalsucks getting when it first started??

  • http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.channel&contributorid=19569360 Garske

    I may be in the minority here but I kinda like Atreyu’s latest album, its loads better than the last piece of shit they released.

    Having said that, Brandon Saller is a TERRIBLE live performer.

  • brandonmetal

    score @ pigchop

    can’t stop laughing when i look at that /m/

  • Nickmeister

    LEAVE ASHLEY ALLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEAH!

    ha ha ha ha.

    she’s a tranny for sure.

  • pigchop

    I think she should be wearing a little hat with a propeller attached, so…here is the screen cap: http://f.imagehost.org/0738/ashleyjenepage.jpg Guess I will just send that along to her – who knows, she might have a sense of humor buried way down deep inside.

  • http://reaper-x.deviantart.com/ Reaper-X

    I keep thinking of Young Frankenstein whenever I look at her face.

    PUTTIN’ ON THE RIIIIIITZ!

  • iolanach

    She has better tits then anyone on metalsucks.

    She’s more credible to me.

  • Isaac

    I noticed that there’s an approval system for comments (not criticizing my beliefs, my ass), so I’m posting the comment I posted there, over here.

    First off, not everyone is going to listen to every kind of music out there, simply because they aren’t willing to do so.
    Also, rock is far from dead. It may not be the most mainstream of genres, but it’s still alive and well.
    By the way, expressing your opinion on a record is *kinda* reviewing it.

    Also, “I will not reviewing records?” Really?

      bahahaha — if she replies to that, you better post it here.

    hilarious

  • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parimutuel_betting What the Hell Did That Avs Fan Want?!

    5 comments per post is still a hell of a lot more than my blog gets. I’m currently averaging 0.08.

  • Adam

    I’d like to quote the great Weird Al Yankovic on this one.

    She’s Young! …. Dumb and Uglyyyyyyyyy!!!!!

    Cause that’s what she is. She runs a blog and doesn’t even do simple proofreading. It makes my brain hurt.

  • Brandon DiCarlo

    Hahaha is this the douche bag HQ? Ashley makes a blog out of love for music and a whole slew of online pricks decide to try and do their best to throw any sort of insult they can at her? Oh my gosh, she had a typo! DEAR LORD! either way, she’s happily married to a famous drummer, and livin the good life… so i doubt she even bats an eyelash at these pathetic attempts to bring her down. Keep livin the dream Ashley! These dicks are absolute nobodies and will only ever dream of living as good and happily as you do, and will continue to be hateful online because they cant say SHIT in the real world :)
