POSSIBLY THE MOST FUN YOU WILL HAVE ALL WEEK: HELP GODSUCK, SUCKD, AND HALESUCK NAME THEIR TOUR

Wednesday, January 18th, 2012 at 11:30am by

OH MY GOD I AM SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW. Godsuck, Suckd, and Halesuck are all going on tour together this spring — and no, that’s not the part I’m happy about. Holy shit, that tour is one more awful band away from signaling the coming Apocalypse. No no no, the reason I’m happy is ’cause the bands are asking for fans to suggest the name of the trek. You can do so by leaving a comment under this post on Godsuck’s Facebook page or this post on Suckd’s FB page; the interns for each band’s managers will then pick the top five choices from each post on Thursday, and people can vote on the name of the tour.

And this is A++++++++ WDBWA AGAIN news for two reasons:

  1. It’s pretty much the best trolling opportunity ever. You can leave any number of sophomoric, fucktarded, barely-even-clever-or-funny suggestions for tour names on the bands’ pages, and while the chances that the bands themselves will ever see it is pretty slim, the chances that you will seriously enrage some nitwits who actually like these three groups is, like, eight-bajillion percent. And as we all know from the mere fact that I am writing and you are reading this post, THERE IS NOTHING FUNNIER THAN NERD RAGE.
  2. The actual, serious, completely unironic names that the aforementioned nitwit fans are suggesting are, of course, totally hilarious. I could look at these all day, no joke. Here are some of my favorites so far… some of these are so bad, I have to believe that they were created by actual music industry professionals:

BOARD TO DEATH: THE NO OZZFEST IN 2011 EDITION

Thursday, May 12th, 2011 at 11:00am by

It has literally been years since we’ve done a new edition of “Board to Death,” the column in which we make fun of people on internet message boards, because we’re nice people like that. But last night Ozzy Osbourne’s intern made this announcement on the Ozzfest Facebook page

…and while I can’t for the life of me understand why anyone would care in light of the fact that there’s still The Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival featuring the Jagermeister Mobile Stage, Vans Warped Tour, The Rockstar Energy Drink Uproar Tour, Summer Slaughter, Slaughter Survivors, Slaughter Slaughter, The All Stars Tour, The Cool Tour (actually I don’t think that one is coming back but still), The Old People Doing Glam for the Sake of Nostalgia Tour, The Hellmann’s Dijon Mustard Extreme Grindcore Festival, and eighteen thousand other Ozzfests that aren’t called Ozzfest. But some people do care, and those people left inadvertently hilarious messages under this announcement.

I’m not gonna do screencaps for all of these, nor am I going to identify everyone by their full name, because it’s been seven whole days since someone last threatened to sue us and I’d like to see if we can make it as far as ten days. But obviously it would be very easy for you to just go to the aforementioned Facebook page and see who I’m talking about.

And on that note, here are some of my favorite comments…

BOARD TO DEATH: THE SHOWDOWN, SPECIAL LAMBGOAT EDITION

Thursday, February 7th, 2008 at 2:09pm by

The Showdown[It’s time for another great edition of Board to Death, in which we examine - and by “examine,” I mean “poke fun at” - what obsessive fans are saying on various band message boards. This week, we take a look at what the Lambgoat snots are saying about southern hard-rock revivalists The Showdown.]

The Showdown recently announced the departure of one of their members and the signing of a new record deal with a yet-to-be-announced label. Lambgoat was there to cover the story, and as usual the haters came out in full force.

“bluescreenofdeath” starts things off with “first post” bragging rights. Really, what is the fascinating with having the first post? Do kids wait around for new stories to go up so they can have the first post? Anyway, “kenny” is quick to chime in 2 minutes and 22 seconds later with “i object to your first post, im first post.” No, actually you aren’t, kenny, sorry.
