Some nutjob guy booked an entire European tour for his narcissistic solo-act with a hired backup band based on faked YouTube vids, fan follows, likes, hyped up phony ticket sales, fake PR firm website, etc. I guess you can really create any reality you want on the internet.

Running theory is that he was assuming (hoping?) the local support/opening acts for these shows would bring in enough ticket sales to make the gigs work out. Long story short, no one showed is showing up to the gigs, and he's paying staffing/hire fees to the venues (essentially the venue's operating costs) out of his own pocket to keep the shows going on.

He's in the middle of his "tour" at this very moment, and sh*t is unfolding as I type...

I just read that and it’s hilarious. Funnily enough, his YouTube video has 1million views, so I guess his plan worked.

Surely he didn’t pay for all of those?

I think a lot of those views are legit given the recent news. He's blocked comments, so my guess is it's gone viral. He has a show tomorrow... I wonder if it's sold out. If I was in Belfast, I would be there!!!
 
Packed house on the THREATIN tour...

Europeans aren't as gullible as Americans that believe everything they read on the internet.

Except maybe the Brits. They fell for Brexit.
 
Strange but interesting read. Only thing hurting is his wallet for backing the whole sham. But lots of folks know his name now. :bag:

Nice troll job dude, rock on brother, live that crazy dream. :ROFL: :ROFLMAO:
 
Wow... this just doesn’t end...

Apparently the show tonight was sold out because of the curiosity factor. The event blew up on Facebook and it sold out fast. Now Threatin is cancelling — because his backing band bailed on him and flew home. The venue is sill hosting the show (since Threatin already paid the hire fees) to support the opening acts, and with free admin for all.

You couldn’t make this stuff up.

This story is so incredible (in a trainwreck sort of way) with the mass amount of coverage it's generated. I'm tempted to buy a freakin' t-shirt (just for the novelty value) if I could find a reputable site that hasn't gone 404. :ROFL: :ROFLMAO:

In all honesty, the live footage shot from the one show of the tour sounds no worse than some local bands I've seen in bars before. The songs are nothing special and the playing is just ordinary, but the guy has a decent voice to go with his massive ego & balls.

Yeah but they don't have any XXXL or I would already have gone for one. Can't decide if I want the "Breaking the World tour" shirt (better novelty value) or the creepy picture frame version (classic narcissist shot). :LOL: :laugh::ROFL: :ROFLMAO::LOL: :laugh::ROFL: :ROFLMAO:
 
I'm even starting to doubt MetalSucks.net at this point. The guitarist had 52 views. I took a look. It's now up to 53.

I'm beginning to think this is all an elaborate ruse about an elaborate ruse.
