MATT HEAFY WANTS YOU TO STEAL TRIVIUM’S MUSIC

Trivium’s Matt Heafy loves Twitter, and he wants you to use it to illegally spread the band’s music! Mr. Heafy (@matthewkheafy) is actually quite the Twitterer (Tweeter? Twatter?), and he’s been updating his Twitter account like the dickens with everything from his man-crush on Adam Lambert to his frustration with Facebook. Heafy’s latest messages to Twitter-nation, posted yesterday, attempt to harness the viral nature of the Interwebs to illegally spread Trivium music. Ruh-roh!

Not even the 140-character limit can stop this guy. Here’s his series of six tweets, shown with the first one at the top for the sake of continuity. Imagine Heafy’s So-Flo “duuude” drawl as you read these in your head:

everyone! killer idea. Paolo came up with it/ I endorse it! spread this word to all trivium fans… burn a cd with the best 10 trivium…

… songs. make tons of copies, pass it to everyone. let’s recreate the tape trade virally and all that shit. a perfect 10 tracks…

… name it trivium. pass it to people. maybe work and school friends first, then maybe locally? I think this could spread the gospel better

so with that idea. put it on your twitters, your myspaces, facebools, message boards, everything. spread that word to spread the triv.

write on each cdr to copy, rip, burn, repeat. pay it forward. encourage that shit. I think it could be amazing. thanks so much guys.

annndd. get all your twitter friends to follow me, and I’ll them, and you do the same for all of them. weneed to all have constant infotrade

I actually think it’s a pretty cool idea; there’s nothing like something being free to help get music into the hands of the people. That is, unless you work in the sales department at Roadrunner Records, in which case you’re probably shitting a brick right about now. And thus ends Heafy’s candor through Twitter — sorry, bro, hate to ruin’ it for ya.
