Between The Buried And Me bassist to miss shows after testing positive for Covid

Between The Buried And Me bass player Dan Briggs will miss several shows on the group's current tour after testing positive for Covid-19 following a show in Florida.

BTBAM had the following to say:

"Well, we ALMOST defied the odds and made it through this tour with no issues. Unfortunately, and in spite of taking every feasible precaution possible, Dan tested positive for a breakthrough case of Covid-19 after our Fort Lauderdale show. His symptoms are mild, and he will be fine. The rest of us tested negative and have tested negative each day since. Obviously, this means Dan will miss tonight's show in Nashville and the two shows in Charlotte."It's worth mentioning, however, that the Danimal is a beast untamable by any earthly mechanism and he refused to let this misfortune prevent his sonic thunder from being on full display. So, while quarantined in his hotel room, this savage monster recorded all of his bass and keyboard tracks for the entire set. While you will not see him on stage, you will no doubt bear witness to the aural splendor of his virtuosic bass guitar stylings.

"We apologize to all our wonderful fans for this hiccup, but we are committed to honoring our commitment to y'all by playing these shows, so long as we can safely do so without jeopardizing anyone's well-being. Stay safe, and we hope to see y'all at the gigs!"

anonymous 9/15/2021 12:48:39 PM

anonymous 7 minutes ago I remember him posting about taking the jab. How'd that work out.. Probably perfectly since he'll avoid death, f*cking idiot.

anonymous 9/15/2021 1:02:03 PM

Somebody let these old geezers know that nobody cares about bass players also dudes in their mid 30's that are in denial of going bald and still playing in a deathcore bands are stoked

anonymous 9/15/2021 1:03:13 PM

Yup, vaccine is gonna help him big time. Congrats bro, you dodged a f*cking bullet.

ihateconservatives 9/15/2021 1:08:10 PM

I remember him posting about taking the jab. How'd that work out.. Death from COVID is 11x more likely if you're unvaccinated. I'm gonna guess it's probably gonna work out pretty well.

anonymous 9/15/2021 1:16:43 PM

From the reciting at the shows.

anonymous 9/15/2021 1:26:27 PM

Only people like lurkcity care lol

^ How do you type that with your head up your ass? Are you vaccinated? I bet not. Mouthbreating vector.

anonymous 9/15/2021 3:40:24 PM

You gotta admit that's kinda badass recording the entire set so he'd be in the show one way or another.

anonymous 9/15/2021 3:58:26 PM

should've played outside using wireless gear like that lead guitarist who was too young to get into the bar.

anonymous 9/15/2021 4:11:08 PM

i was wondering when we would get the daily covid roundup. Now i can go about the day in peace

Between the Buried and the Bassist Zing!

anonymous 9/15/2021 6:25:10 PM

Why the heck don't they just call up Guile to play bass?! Seems like a no brainer...

ihateconservatives 9/15/2021 6:32:27 PM

as in like guile from street fighter?

anonymous 9/15/2021 6:35:53 PM

Rolling Stones - street fighting man

rick_tocchet 9/15/2021 6:38:25 PM

Oh wow. Must suck getting sick and having a 99% chance of surviving it.

anonymous 9/15/2021 7:03:50 PM

Yeah, Guile from street fighter :)

anonymous 9/15/2021 8:05:11 PM

During quarantine he can practice more polka bass lines and silly interludes for Colors 3.

anonymous 9/15/2021 9:10:08 PM

Slick Rick over here with his "pussyloaf" insight

anonymous 9/15/2021 10:29:20 PM

omg he has a 99.9% chance of surviving it!

anonymous 9/16/2021 7:39:51 AM

is this why their live shows are so f*cking boring? because it's locked so much to a gd click?

anonymous 9/16/2021 7:56:10 AM

So from now on how do we know if he's actually playing or if its just his recordings?

anonymous 9/16/2021 8:49:56 AM

Gosh golly gee. Florida being dumbasses with no mask or distancing guidelines. Now people who visit the state are mysteriously getting sick. Who woulda thunk it?!

anonymous 9/16/2021 8:52:52 AM

Figures Lambgoat would be full of anti-vaxx shitstains. Please end your lives.

anonymous 9/16/2021 11:25:09 AM

^crybaby pansies afraid of a cold with a 99.9% survival rate

anonymous 9/16/2021 2:16:36 PM

Vaxxed.

anonymous 9/16/2021 2:27:51 PM

In other words they already run backing tracks live and this makes zero difference. Interesting to see them admit it.

anonymous 9/17/2021 5:31:48 AM

vaccinated person gets covid and smart people blame unvaccinated people in order to convince them to get vaccinated. "HEY EVERYONE, come join the vulnerable group cause we're so smart!!"

anonymous 9/17/2021 5:57:03 AM

Excited for tomorrow's DC superspreader event to clean the welfare offices out a bit.
