Bleeding Through's Brandan Schieppati: "Is it ever going to be enough?"
I'll tell you why I started this band. I was a 19 year old kid that hated his reflection in the mirror and hated himself. I had major emotional issues that I hide from everyone and music was my release and together with my friends we got to create music for each other and expel all of our emotional issues through that music. I was lost and depressed with no way out. It was either write my issues on paper and scream them into a mic or expel my life with a bullet through my head. That is why I started this band!
Now getting ready to embark on our first leg of the US farewell tour it seems what we are doing is still not good enough. Even though we are 100% doing this tour for the ones that have supported us through out the years we are still getting backlash. I understand that we may not be playing your city on this tour and we apologize. We are playing the places that we could find promoters to book us a show. Plain and simple. In response to not playing certain towns on this tour we have gotten comments like "you were my favorite band but now I am going to burn your records", "thanks for letting your fans down" and "you guys are probably just going to the places that you make the most money". Seeing comments like this really put things into perspective to me now. My response to those comments is FUCK YOU! If we aren't worth it to drive a few miles away from your city to see Bleeding Through one more time then so be it. We are going to play the cities we are booked in in front of people who give a shit about our music. We are going to play hard and fast like it's our last time on that stage because guess what? It's going to be our last time. Hope to see you at the shows. If not I refuse to lose sleep over it.
I'm going to end this with a quote from Paul Rudd's character in the movie Forgetting Sara Marshall "when life hands you lemons say fuck the lemons and bail"

don't worry trustkill's got his back stfu and go listen to AFI
HOW CAN HE BE POSTING THIS IF HE DIED IN A PLANE CRASH 10,000 TIMES.
Does it really make people feel better to vent on the Internet? It's just going to increase the troll Factor.

Someone take a trip to Wal-Mart for Brandon; he seems to be "Bleeding Through". Huehuehuehue
Did I start the band to get butt hurt about internet trolls? I'm going to end this with a quote from the trolls character in the movie internetflip "Oh you took offense to something said on the internet? You must be new here."

Immediately after posting this, he died in a plane crash. I am 'sertain'.
suicide > making bleeding through records
I'm driving 200 miles to see Bleeding Through Brandon. I'd drive twice that to see your farewell tour Brandon. fck lemons Brandon. I'm a big fan of BT's first 3 albums Brandon. Let's stick with those albums during the set in Louisville Tuesday Brandon. The kids don't know what they're talking about Brandon. 80 percent of them were in 5th grade when Portrait of a Goddess came out Brandon. Their opinion doesn't count because they're drunk with STD's Brandon. See you Tuesday Brandon. Love Brandon.
Newsflash: the vast majority of humanity is cruel and wants you to fail for absolutely no reason at all. More at 11.
The last Bleeding Through record is actually sick as fck, too bad all you pussies turned around and pretended to have been a Deathwish kid from the start and forgot about the YL shirts and hair straighteners in your closest. gaygits
people who bitch about bands not playing their city are annoying. if i can drive 2+ hours away for a show, you can too. transportation does exist retards
I would honestly go just to mosh to love lost one more time. Idgaf about the band or the members, but that is one of the best songs ever. Thanks for writing it gays.
he shouldve just stuck playing with the Montreal Expos when he had the opportunity.
Play Portait all the way through and you'll make the 16 year old version of myself happy beyond belief. Will be there either way. *Slowly Pours out 40oz.*
What a turd. It's obvious you didn't start this band for any other reason than to have 16 year old kids stroke your massive ego. Be grateful the same kids, who are now adults will take time out of their busy schedules of being being responsible human beings will come to see your band that made the same record about you dying 1000 times.
Why did you start Bleeding Through in 1999?
I dont know whats worse this or the dvd where he cries about getting cheated on when he was 16. I admit, in 2003 I was somewhat into this band, but this guy is and always will be a crying pssy.
At least this shit is honest. -Chad Fjerstad
playing in a mediocre metalcore band for pre-pubescent kids. no one can understand the sacrifices made.
This faux hawk gypsy wasnt doing anyone any favors. Dumpster diving is a sign to hang it up you effeminate, attention-fiending borderline.
I just heard this guy died in a plane crash at 11:07AM today. RIP. Thoughts and prayers go out to his family.
honestly, i am going to see there final show in NJ. i have followed these dudes since day 1 when the "scene" was a "scene" i wouldnt consider them to be one of my favorite bands, but they were part of something that was a part of me for so long. BT, 18V, and Throwdown. the infamous Orange County bands. i miss what hardcore, metal, metalcore, whatever the fck you noobz call it nowadays, stood for and meant. so to Brendan and the rest of the BT guys, I'll see you in NJ.
Another one on steroids . Pump that iron bro...
Can someone please call this guy a wahmbulance?
Must have been caught curling in the squat rack.
Didn't they sell 300,000 copies of This Is Love, This Is Murderous? I don't believe for a second that you dumpster-dived.
Bleeding Through isn't breaking up. They changed their name to Winds of Plague.
He should make a youtube video out of this nagging crap. Band has been boring for years, and his new band is wack arnolds.

he died in a plane crash on his way to china for a show
If the dude had a sense of humour he would have included "did I start this band just to die in a plane crash on the way to China for a show? Did I start this band so I'd have to drive 600 miles to support kittie at a show?"
shut the fck up you whiny, self-righteous little bitch.

You know what?! F*** this! *Logs off Scotttrade for good* *Opens closet and removes Seven String from sweet snake skin case* THERES ONLY ONE LIFE TO LIVE YOUVE GOT TO TAKE IT BY THE HORNS WHILST THROWING UP THE HORNS. FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS LIKE A DREAM WALKER.
He needs to quit crying and finish this tour so we never have to hear from him again.
