American Me's equipment and merch stolen

American Me were the victims of theft this weekend in California. The group has issued the following details: "We woke up at about 7:30am this morning to find our trailer door wide open. We went to bed around 4:30am this morning at our manager's house in Antelope, California, a suburb of Sacramento. If you have any information regarding this, or live in the area, please let us know if you hear of anything! Any leads would help, because we will NOT be able to replace some of these things. We literally JUST GOT two guitars and a bass about 4 days ago, and some of our equipment is no longer in production, so if we can't get them back; they cannot be replaced. We were shocked that this happened a matter of feet away from the windows to rooms we all slept in. We didn't hear anything and have filed a police report. "We will be checking all local pawn shops. We really just need any information on how to get our equipment back. We will now have to figure out how to keep our trailer secure, seeing as the latch was CUT open. We have a perfectly good lock, untouched, that can't be used because the latch was cut off. Also we will NOT be able to practice when we get home because we won't have equipment to actually play on. My apologies about the rant, we are just simply at a loss for what just happened. here is a list of what was taken from us: ESP LTD M305 (RED) Guitar Schecter Solo 6 (BLACK) Guitar Schecter S1 Elite (GREY) Guitar Schecter Solo 6 (WHITE) Guitar Schecter Stilletto Elite 5 (see-through Black) Bass Line 6 X2 Wireless Transmitter Peavey 5150 Guitar Amp Head Peavey 6505 Plus Guitar Amp Head "AND a full bin of merch that we still owe money on! (we found the bin, but it was empty)."

theblackhole 11/21/2009 5:25:48 PM

who the fck would want that shitty gear?

xdumbcorex 11/21/2009 5:28:37 PM

why would somebody steal merch? Do you really need 100 or more shirts of the same design in various sizes? That sucks no matter what band it is

municipal__gayste 11/21/2009 5:33:58 PM

hahahhahahahahaha, good, 1 acacia strain is too many

guhreen 11/21/2009 5:39:58 PM

(we found the bin, but it was empty)

danofthedead 11/21/2009 5:41:21 PM

How many times will this shit happen before bands learn to secure their belongings.

puntis 11/21/2009 5:50:04 PM

fcking LOL. it's a sign. quit.

funeralopolis 11/21/2009 6:12:45 PM

After reading that equipment list, sounds like someone did you a favor.

Doucheface 11/21/2009 6:21:28 PM

Ohio should be on this.

hellablunts 11/21/2009 6:21:50 PM

yeah those $800 schecter guitars really suck.... hahahahaha

posiemofaggotscenekiller 11/21/2009 6:33:00 PM

jerm 11/21/2009 6:59:58 PM

newspostersflip. this is shitty news, regardless of the bands involved

ckk 11/21/2009 7:07:11 PM

This seems to happen too ofter to shit gay bands. These idiots need to watch their shit. This would have never happened to 100 demons, cold as life, ect... these bands are fcking pussies. Looks good on them and well deserved.

RUSerious 11/21/2009 7:07:29 PM

Peavey 5150 Guitar Amp Head. Van Halen is pissed for a shitty band using his sig.

impendingdouche 11/21/2009 7:22:07 PM

Schecter and Peavey... No wonder it got stolen..they did you a favor. How many dcks did you have to take at once to get this gay?

TheShruteBuck 11/21/2009 7:31:22 PM

Good. Every member of this band is a fcking rockstar jerk. You got what you deserved. fck you Tony M0$H!

Snigglepiper 11/21/2009 7:33:08 PM

I wonder which of my 4 new guitars I should play.

sage 11/21/2009 7:47:21 PM

This case is easy to solve: It was the Mesa Boogie Head Hunter. He makes sure bands aren't sponsored by Mesa and use Peavey. Simple.

lolwuuuut 11/21/2009 8:17:18 PM

In related news, a new band from Antelope has hit the scene called Canadian You. They are totally brutal. Strangely they are all wearing shitty American Me shirts and clam yo have found 2.43 cents in a merch bin

raaaach 11/21/2009 8:22:11 PM

They have some shitty ass equipment.

GETDEAD 11/21/2009 9:34:28 PM

guess thats what you get when you define your band as "nu-hardcore" on your new record.

jules 11/21/2009 9:50:04 PM

hahahahahahahahahaha! Shitty gear anyways, maybe stop playing schecters and peavy. Also, quit acting like you couldn't check ebay and replace the shit you can't find at a store.

fcmf_jeff 11/21/2009 10:01:57 PM

Keep your chin up AM. Wearing my obama/am shirt right now.

degoyaco 11/21/2009 10:54:52 PM

LOL at casey

kniferevenge 11/21/2009 10:56:25 PM

i simply dunno what to do about this situation other then have a member sleep in the van and have a gun on him.

Chomp_Chomp 11/21/2009 11:31:17 PM

Hate all you want, you would all hate life in you were in their shoes right now. Having your shit stolen is awful, especially when what gets stolen is the what you use to make your living.

kosmo_kramer 11/22/2009 12:01:35 AM

no one stole the drums? had to be chicanos.

porpoise 11/22/2009 12:27:10 AM

fcmf_jeff 11/21/2009 10:01:57 PM Keep your chin up AM. Wearing my obama/am shirt right now. stfu gay.

bunkhead 11/22/2009 12:45:27 AM

This sucks alot. Bands worst nightmare - latch is cut open there is literally nothing you can do.

abraxasdewn 11/22/2009 12:45:35 AM

They should replace everything with First Act guitars on sale for the holidays at Walmart :)

Aquafina 11/22/2009 1:40:47 AM

This sucks, but seriously, to all you bands out there, do you not read lambgoat?! What bands stuff has ever been stolen with someone sleeping in the van?!

BONER_JAMZ 11/22/2009 1:47:16 AM

ckk.. you dropped these gay *hands him 100 demons/ cold as life*

BONER_JAMZ 11/22/2009 1:49:32 AM

Aquafina.. plenty of bands to answer your question. fck. Ed gein got literally ripped out of their van while they were asleep and proceeded to get beat up if i remember that story right.

gerbil_bits 11/22/2009 2:25:24 AM

I seriously can't wait for a band with their CCWs to catch some robbers one time, then shoot them in the fcking temple

mooska 11/22/2009 3:30:20 AM

Better have receipts for that shit. Pawn shops won't just give it back.

MOVE132 11/22/2009 4:23:25 AM

wow is stealing band equipment and other shit the new thing? this sucks no band deserves this. even though some people dont necessarily like this band no band should have to wake up with all their shit gone when theyre on tour.

asilentcircus 11/22/2009 4:47:56 AM

never even heard of this band, band name sounds like somethin that would tour with some gay shit like no doubt or atreyu

urmoshin 11/22/2009 5:39:52 AM

cody grup is not stoked about this

scotty 11/22/2009 6:02:55 AM

Let me get my hands on those irreplaceable Schecters!

manismostlybeard 11/22/2009 8:09:08 AM

Sucks major but seriously oh well its all standard bullshit guitar center junk getta pay pal acct then get good gear this time.

carsonplunkett 11/22/2009 9:56:27 AM

they act like 6505's and 5150's are hard to come by. it still sucks tho.

cvk74 11/22/2009 10:29:14 AM

Locks Help. Dumbasses.

lovethemtitties 11/22/2009 10:36:43 AM

those are some gay ass guitars

mongoosemayhem 11/22/2009 10:56:28 AM

Why aren't there trailer security systems yet....car alarm for a trailer. Like how fcking hard would it be to rig something like that up. Learn from other gays mistakes and do it up. I'm sure it would cost less than replacing your equipment.

robot_wheelchair 11/22/2009 12:13:53 PM

Good. fck those gays

Dead1986 11/22/2009 12:23:58 PM

This sux they cant replace any of there stuff

GOKILLYOURSELF 11/22/2009 1:11:01 PM

You can't replace a schecter or a 5150? Most generic mass produced items and you're crying. Get real.

beatyourfuckingface 11/22/2009 1:56:36 PM

hahahah good

throwtheballyes 11/22/2009 2:25:32 PM

Take it as a sign and buy some real gear fckheads. Only gays would be crying about not being able to replace a fcking schecter or peavey

mustardlawnmower 11/22/2009 2:25:43 PM

cvk74 Locks Help. Dumbasses. read the post fcker

hardware 11/22/2009 2:53:30 PM

"Also we will NOT be able to practice when we get home because we won't have equipment to actually play on" Thanks for clearing this up, I was wondering.

hardware 11/22/2009 2:55:52 PM

ok joking aside, that sucks. Good luck finding your stuff. I hate scumbags.

xpoopx 11/22/2009 3:10:39 PM

You're in luck. I have two ultra rare peavey 5150s for sale.

Toki_Wartooth 11/22/2009 4:44:30 PM

Thats f'in funny you guys suck. What a blessing you can't play anymore

CivilD 11/22/2009 5:06:26 PM

This is why someone always sleeps in the van, christ.

margaretyang 11/22/2009 5:34:51 PM

fcking idiots, park the van and trailer against a wall so the trailer doors don't open. 'sigh' noobs

fuckthisband 11/22/2009 5:36:48 PM

Nightmare for any band. I don't like this band but you all suck massive dck.

mosh_potatoes 11/22/2009 6:55:03 PM

I love my city for always coming through.

Sloppyjoes 11/22/2009 7:06:45 PM

"park the van and trailer against a wall so the trailer doors don't open. 'sigh' noobs" <- This

Jungleflip 11/22/2009 7:07:42 PM

Sounds like I owe someone a beer!

spawnofdannyrodriguez 11/22/2009 8:19:44 PM

Mexican Me is gonna blow up in that area next week and sign to Rise records

xdevastator 11/22/2009 9:47:13 PM

Haha, fcking shitty band. And every piece of equipment listed could easily be replaced. Schecters and 5150s WOOHOO

evil_hero 11/22/2009 10:10:29 PM

"fcking idiots, park the van and trailer against a wall so the trailer doors don't open. 'sigh' noobs" yeah like every single parking situation has a wall that you can back up to LOL what a moron

supernintendo_chalmers 11/23/2009 10:58:19 AM

whomever made off with those guitars got some serious garbage

themoustachemassacre 11/23/2009 11:50:45 AM

It's all in a dumpster behind the wal-mart on Florin Rd. in South Sac. Come and get it if you want.

bigbuTTbill 11/23/2009 11:59:14 AM

Maybe getting all of this fcking terrible BS equipment stolen will help them realize they need more reliable equipment. (lol.)

hellablunts 11/23/2009 1:32:15 PM

roflznsyrup 11/23/2009 1:54:28 PM

Looks like this years best "Nu-Hardcore" band needs to go find some "Nu" equipment. gays got what you deserved.

complete_slore 11/24/2009 3:42:34 AM

Start jogging.

m_kwd 11/24/2009 9:58:32 AM

a) someone ALWAYS sleeps in the van b) same as what everyone is saying back trailer up against a wall or a friend's parked car which isn't going to be moved

wheres_the_beef 11/24/2009 12:38:08 PM

"It's all in a dumpster behind the wal-mart on Florin Rd. in South Sac. Come and get it if you want." HOT TIP HOT TIP HOT TIP!

washupandrot 11/24/2009 6:21:32 PM

i like how 93% of the people posting have probably never been on a single tour, and probably dont have half as much money into gear. and locks dont do a damn thing when someone cuts the latch dumbasses.

IStillBelieveInWhtWeBuilt 11/24/2009 6:35:22 PM

first off...5150/6505 are excellent heads. Second, fck this band. Third, always camp 3 bros in the van. the lightest sleepers, and the hardest hitter. Its easy.

franzsdeadbaby 11/25/2009 12:45:54 AM

i'm surprised you guys didn't see me follow you to his house.

cherith_cutestory 11/25/2009 11:27:35 AM

that gear isn't irreplacable. get some triple x's and some ibanez guitars and you'll be good to practice.

CatharsisStudios 11/25/2009 12:47:29 PM

holy fck that blows. also why is everyone talk shit on the 5150 lol that is the most used studio metal amp of all time fcking n00bs any gear stolen fcking blows 5150s rule :D

castro_nyhc 11/25/2009 1:31:40 PM

"Third, always camp 3 bros in the van. the lightest sleepers, and the hardest hitter. Its easy." smart man, when will these bands learn?

PressuresON 11/25/2009 7:56:08 PM

In related news, The Acacia Strain's sound has been stolen. American Me is the lead suspect, and have been brought in for further questioning

xDIx 11/26/2009 5:21:34 PM

hahaha this is great news this band is fcking horrible singer is such a lil bitch too

CRYPTIC_SLAUGHTER 11/27/2009 12:49:12 AM

THIS TO ALL NUMETAL RAPDOWN BANDS..

serendipity 11/27/2009 1:19:44 AM

Emmure are stoked

holyfuckingshit 11/27/2009 5:35:02 PM

bunkhead 11/22/2009 12:45:27 AM This sucks alot. Bands worst nightmare - latch is cut open there is literally nothing you can do. Actually it's not hard to create a system that lets you know when a door has been opened. It's called an alarm.

analpunchftw 11/28/2009 2:45:44 PM

"My apologies about the rant, we are just simply at a loss [for words] for what just happened." Ranting and being at a loss for words are complete opposites...fcking morons

americanmeblows 12/7/2009 2:21:13 PM

Youre terrible people, and you play terrible music. Tony is just a wannabe Frankie Emmure, and thats not really the loftiest of ambitions. Forever just going to be a band that no ones ever heard of.

americanmeblows 12/7/2009 2:21:55 PM

Occasionally they tour with "marginal" bands, but its only ever because someones buddies with someone in the other band, and never based on talent, simply because this band has none.

Ray_Lewis_Keith_Buckley 9/29/2010 11:10:14 PM

God, this is sweet revenge for you gays not giving a CERTAIN band in a CERTAIN town in New York their money. I hope someone steals your fcking scene-worn gayry too. Best news ever.
