ABIGAIL WILLIAMS MEMBERS LOB A DILDO AT IWRESTLEDABEARONCE
Worlds collided this past Friday in Austin, TX, as two distinctly different types of metal tours converged upon the famous Emo’s; Immolation, Vader, Abigail Williams and others at the indoor stage and the Iwrestledabearonce-headlined Ghostbustour on the bigger, outdoor stage. Since no genre is quite as petty and immature as metal when it comes to infighting and childish turf wars [ok, maybe hip-hop is worse], there was instant beef between the death metal kids and the swoopy-haired scene kids in a battle for the privilege of being the biggest losers, culminating with a giant dildo being lobbed on stage by one band during another’s set
Apparently still not too old to indulge in teenager-level teasing, Abigail Williams’ Ken Sorceron and Ian Jekelis decided to play a little prank on Iwrestledabearonce. If you ask me, Abigail Williams picking on Iwrestledabearonce is kind of like the nerdy kid throwing food at the other nerdy kid in the school cafeteria; shouldn’t these two bands just unite in the absurd levels of hatred lobbed their way by tr00/kvlt metalheads and be besties forever? But apparently not, as the only thing lobbed was a giant, floppy, black dildo by Abigail Williams at Iwrestledabearonce during their set, and The Gauntlet was there to film it. Maybe they are all just good friends and this was done in jest… but it doesn’t seem like it. Watch the clip below.
At least Iwrestledabearonce seems to have taken it with a grain of salt. Perhaps without knowing the identity of the perpetrator of the incident, whoever is writing the tour blogs for IWABO (not a band member) noted the divide between the audience and copped to “actually [liking Abigail Williams] a lot,” then offered up this:
Half way through the set, someone threw a large black dildo on the stage that landed right on mikeys set, it was pretty ridiculous and amazing
Indeed!
Personally I think that we should all just resort to dildo-lobbing as a means of expression. “Hey Sammy, I disagree with your Kylesa review… eat this!” [lobs dildo at Sammy O’Hagar]. Ozzy: “Hey Zakk, you’re fired!” [lobs dildo]. Dick Cheney: “Healthcare, shmealthcare.” [lobs dildo at Obama]. Think of all we’d be able to express with one solitary, unified act.
