Haha i just read that on Myspace. Earache gave you 1000 CDs to destroy... damnn!!!

O​h ​re​all​y?


Edit: Okay, now that I've read it...that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Get a grip, you idiots.

YOU get a grip.

fucking amazing idea, though i broke my limp bizkit cds many years ago (already) i will steal some greenday cd's to be smashed

Im a big Gama Bomb fan yes, and i hate all that style of music. But wouldnt it be better to sell all those CDs? Itd be a bit better to make some money from it. But hey whos stopping you

You can just tell Gama Bomb are going to die by their own sword on this one...

I've tried laying off Gama Bomb and the Earache crowd for a while, but this is honestly the gayest cunt-a-bout I've ever heard of. Your music is rubbish and you're a bunch of spastics.

You mean people are gonna throw GB's own albums at them?

Got it in one.

Does anyone other than Young Zurab think this is okay? I'm genuinely offended by how gay this is.

I'm not offended but agree it is easily the gayest thing I've heard all week.

I guess earache would know a lot about inferior metal, they're promoting a tonne of it at the moment.

This is idiotic, calling other bands 'inferior' because they were part of a music trend? Do you really not see the fucking hideous irony here? You're a bunch of planks, and despite nu metal being rubbish, bands like Linkin Park at least made an impression in the music industry, whilst you'll be uncool before anyone cares.

How can you lambast and make fun of so called angsty nu-metal music when this is the single most teenage-angst-ridden gimmick ever? This just confirms to me and probably lots of other people that Gama Bomb are a comedy outfit at best - and not a very funny one at that.
