We went to see one of his (and his mom and my) favorite bands Pop Evil. The guys above are from a lesser known band called Arson City. These two (bassist: left; drummer: right) were hanging out at the merch table after the show. The band impressed us, so we were going to show some extra support by buying a shirt or two and maybe get an autograph or even just shake hands. We all ended up chatting a bit and the drummer took some interest in what our boy was saying and he mentioned he's frequently bullied. As soon as he heard that he reached under the table and...
Busts out a cymbal he broke during the show and starts his personalized autograph.
My reaction.
The kid's reaction. These dudes were incredible.
They signed a shirt for him as well.
To Chase. Keep rocking on buddy!!!

But did he get to meet the sax player?

For real though, Pop Evil produces terrible music.

I was pleasantly surprised with them. They gave me a Sevendust kind of feel.

I do believe that no matter who you are or where you come from, if you take the time out and encourage another you deserve props.

What is it like being the step parent of Joffrey Lannister?

So the broken cymbal is a weapon to use against the bullies !!!

No no no, he waits until the band gets really big, then sells it to buy a tank

I didn't read or look at anything beyond the title and first pic. That's statutory rape. He's to young to consent to those power tops.

I wish I could upvote and downvote the same comment, I laughed, but it made me feel bad.

Ok, that was funny! Nicely done.

While you’re at it, check out Alien Weaponry. Old school thrash from young kids in New Zealand.

Sioux Falls? My friend went to that show and said it was amazing
thatfucknguy
Indeed it was!
FourSquareRedHead
Off topic but I literally just started getting into Pop Evil yesterday. Weird that I see them mentioned here today!
thatfucknguy
I been listening to them for years. Virtually no bad songs on any of their albums if you ask me
TommyKnuckles971
Luv the band. Stand tall son
VeinyFleshTrumpet
Metal as fuck. I love good guy rockers.
JusSumDood

Inmydefensethemoonwasfull
You know he's gonna wear that shirt and never wash it. He scored big time. Kudos to your son.
ImKimJongUnAndEverythingIsFine
Still have the first sticker Matt Nathanson signed for me stuck to my guitar and it’ll never come off. Nicest famous guy I ever met.
ImKimJongUnAndEverythingIsFine
Also I got Arson Cities albums so gonna check those out.
thatfucknguy
I've still got every bit of band memorabilia I've ever received. Autographs, picks, stubs, whatever.
andymancan2000
That's actually pretty fucking sick.
mezaway
Rock and roll!
FiveShiftOne
+1 for spelling cymbal correctly.
thatfucknguy
Mighty kind of you. Easiest point I've ever received!
saintchase
Hey tell Chase his name is badass.
thatfucknguy
I can do that. I'm 99.9% sure he thinks hes the only one
saintchase
There's a lot of us! Or, well, at least four, probably.

If I was being bullied in school, I'd HATE it if my dad told a cool rock band this fact. 10x worse.
BloodmouthCarnist
The way I read it, the kid was the one that mentioned it.
thatfucknguy
You struggle with reading comprehension don't you?
dustball23
My bad. I just misread it.

Support good music. I'm a local musician and the "support local" thing annoys me. Bands are a dime a dozen. We need to support good music.
TheOneWhoIsBored
Fair enough, are you gonna share so everyone can decide if you are "good"?

I like the song so I hope this doesn’t offend you but my first thought was “sounds like a tame Avenged Sevenfold”.
madpoopz
That's a first. Not offended, just not expected lol.
MacAndMemes
Nice!
madpoopz
Thank you!
TheOneWhoIsBored
Pretty damn good!
madpoopz
Thank you sir!
CptRobotNinja
Yeah I was a local musician. Didnt make and progress cuse I sucked. Honestly I did better than my music really meritted. What a ride tho
madpoopz
Its a good time for sure. Performing is a different world than writing music. Most only excel at one, the greats excel at both.
CptRobotNinja
Im thankful for the experience and Ill still hit up an open mic or something now and again
madpoopz
Yup. We play maybe once a month. But we still enjoy the studio so we'll release another album at some point.
