BTBAM NERDS THINK BTBAM WILL TOUR U.S. WITH TESSERACT, ANIMALS AS LEADERS THIS FALL

Monday, July 18th, 2011 at 11:30am by

The commenters at the official BTBAM message board at SMNnews.com make Lambgoat posters look like friendly little teddybears; the volume and ferocity of childlike name-calling, homophobia / racism / <inserthere-ism>, trolling and pointless arguments are unrivaled on the Metalnets, even if their members do have some really entertaining animated .gifs in their sigs.

In other words, take the following rumor with a heaping, giant, overflowing bowlful of salt: BTBAM are rumored to be planning a fall/winter U.S. tour with TesseracT and Animals as Leaders. The only reason I even give this rumor any attention at all instead of dismissing it as a dreamlike BTBAM fanboy wish is that I have it from a good source that BTBAM are indeed taking TesseracT on tour in the U.S. this fall. With that in mind it certainly makes sense that they’d need one more band to fill out the tour bill, preferably as direct support, as I don’t think TesseracT are quite big enough in the U.S. yet for that role.

So, is this tour gonna happen? Can’t say for certain but it’d sure be cool if it does.

    Why is it that, other than the tour with Blowjob for a Cowboy, BTBAM seems to be involved in the best tours ever?

    • Aether Jake

        Cynic is supposed to have a new album out some time soon… Perhaps they’d want to tour in support of the album.

        I’m keeping my fingers crossed.

  • Carson W

    Holy fuck. PLEASE DEAR GOD LET THIS HAPPEN!

  • Jeremy

    Supposedly the tour is coming somewhere near Orlando, FL… I’m the guy that started the thread on the BTBAM board and talked to Dan about it.

  • gnarlk

    watch for metalsucks to write daily fluff/masturbation pieces for the duration of the tour if it happens

  • Connor

    It is true.

  • Hugh Al

    I think that’s true, Acle, James and Jay from Tesseract told me that they will be back to the states this fall, that’s gonna be an awesome tour !

  • jd091

    Pssh, the bros and I over at metalsetlists.com have known about this for a while now.

  • Aaron

    This really has nothing to do with anything, but has there ever been a douchier looking band than btbam? they just make me want to hit them

    • OLD

      Old picture is old, though.

    • Guimaj1435

      Please google image search Attack! Attack! and then come back and let me know if you feel the same way.

    • Tom

      is that a joke? god forbid a band doesnt dress in all black for once, and wears clothes like normal people…shut up and enjoy the music douchebag

  • Woopdiedoo

    Yeah ? Gonna see them in Munich with AAL anyway. So I couldn’t care less.

    • J

      I think you could care less. You’re not applying yourself enough. you’re better than that.

  • Douche baggins

    They look like regular guys who like to play awesome music to me.

  • Matt

    Besides having TesseracT on the bill this would basically be a repeat tour since AAL and BTBAM have toured together before.

    I went to the Grand Rapids AAL show last night. It was awesome!

    • Rudiger

      i think i would prefer tesseract over veil of maya

      • Matt

        This is true

    • stu1

      They did a real short tour together a couple of years ago almost.

  • phil

    It is true.

  • Tim

    Dream bill.

  • Sam H

    BTBAM have a few UK shows with support from AAL so makes sense.

    this better come to vancouver
    OR ELSE

    • Brendan

      Dude, agreed. I’m so chapped that AAL, Intronaut and LCTR didn’t come by here.

    • gooeywreck

      or else youll burn it down again?

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Ed-Barranger/1199176563 Ed Barranger

    this better happen. and if it does, they better play all of parallax and a whole second set again. i was so pissed that i missed that

  • tenyearsgone

    Would like to see BTBAM live. Are they a good show? Could do without the other two hacks on this bill though.

    • Matt

      You obviously don’t listen to much music if you’re calling Animals as Leaders a “hack”

      • stu1

        Exactly. Same with Tseract (sp). And, if you haven’t seen BTBAM by now, you probably live in a cave.

  • tenyearsgone

    Oh, I forgot technical proficiency= good music. Can you tell me with a straight face either of those two bands are even decent?

    • Matt

      Yes, yes I can. Animals as Leaders is more than just a “technical proficient” band. Maybe you should give them a try…..

      Wait I already know your comment:
      “It sounds like weedly weedly blah blah I blow cocks for a living and troll on the internet blah blah I only like obscure shit bands no one cares about blah blah blah”
