Sumerian Records' Ash Avildsen blasts proposed annual COVID boosters

ash avildsen 2023

Sumerian Records owner Ash Avildsen voiced his opinions on the proposed annual booster shots for COVID from the FDA yesterday. So much so that Avildsen took to the label's Twitter account to voice his opinion.

Avildsen would then engage in back and forths between Twitter users discussing his stance. One account asked what would compel a record label to say this, to which Avilsen responded:

Former Sumerian Records alum, Misha Mansoor of Periphery, hopped into the conversation asking if the account was possibly hacked.

And not to be all doom and gloom, one user spoke up about the long delays in merch bought months ago from the record label.

Giant!

anonymous 3/2/2023 10:13:52 AM

Regardless of this comedy: Ash is a f*cking tool who has ripped off numerous bands. Makes god awful movies too. Total shit package.

anonymous 3/2/2023 10:13:52 AM

Yawn. Clickbait to get everyone here all riled up and distract from the lack of actual news/reporting/proofreading and generate traffic otherwise unearned,

anonymous 3/2/2023 10:18:20 AM

Does anyone know what the band Get The Shot has to say about this

anonymous 3/2/2023 10:20:38 AM

"its in the mail, bitch"

Has anyone shown John Joseph ash's account yet?

His Dad directed Rocky and The Karate Kid. Very cool.

muffstuffer87 3/2/2023 10:27:57 AM

What does goo think of this?

anonymous 3/2/2023 10:28:01 AM

^ That's his dad though. The Warrior Show is the only good thing this guy has done. It would have been better and more realistic if Warrior would have gorilla pressed Danny 5 times and dropped him on his head.

anonymous 3/2/2023 10:30:00 AM

The transitions used in this remind me of those you'd find in a sixth grader's essay lol

anonymous 3/2/2023 10:37:20 AM

This is actually way more punk rock than what any of these pussy ass bands complaining out it are doing. Backed hard.

anonymous 3/2/2023 10:41:05 AM

Oh God stfu guy. Nobody cares about your opinion and way to potentially tank your business by putting it on your businesses Twitter acct. you f*cking idiot. Do it or don't and then f*ck off and keep it to yourself nobody cares unless they want to cry about it

anonymous 3/2/2023 10:41:05 AM

Much respect for this. If you believe forcing people to take something this have concerns about and rightfully so is the right way to do things than you're just a closet authoritarian. May you politely go f*ck yourself.

anonymous 3/2/2023 10:44:25 AM

just realized this guys brother was the NYC graffiti artist JA who also played Snake in Karate Kid 3

anonymous 3/2/2023 10:44:44 AM

"Much respect for this. If you believe forcing people to take something this have concerns about and rightfully so is the right way to do things than you're just a closet authoritarian. May you politely go f*ck yourself." Except no one is even talking about there being a mandate for this shit. Some jobs may require it, which is their right, but he's talking about some boogey man "THE MAN IS GOING TO MAKE YOU DO THIS," which just isn't true. FDA is suggesting annual boosters, like they do for the flu and pneumonia. Maybe Ash should spend less time playing conspiracy theorist and more being a good person?

anonymous 3/2/2023 10:47:15 AM

You willingly agreed to those terms in the contract and now are bitching about it online. Either A tell your agent you won't play for a venue/promoter that takes a merch cut or B deal with it like 90% of the bands not playing basements or vfws. It's your choice but don't complain about something you knew about.

anonymous 3/2/2023 10:47:27 AM

If you believe forcing people to take something this have concerns about and rightfully so is the right way to do things than you're just a closet authoritarian. How is it forcing anything, exactly? Take a white trash moron like yourself. If you don't want to wear a shirt in public, you don't have to. You just can't go into 7-11 for your White Claw, that's all. Also, this is not actually a thing. Venues are not making this requirement nor will they. Though they have a right to, just like you have a right to not to get said shot.

anonymous 3/2/2023 10:48:21 AM

How does he feel about transgenders

anonymous 3/2/2023 10:49:30 AM

Lots of government simps showing up in an extreme music site comment section. Lame.

anonymous 3/2/2023 10:53:45 AM

Fake news, probably has turnstile and drug church's expect PR team to deflect the real narrative here, Ash is not mailing out merch people purchased.

"news called people conspiracy theorists when it was said the definition of "fully vaccinated" would go beyond two shots. they then changed it to three and even four for many events, places of work, etc. they've changed the rules the whole time. " I like how he says "they changed the rules" but also indicates he seems to realize it was actually different people in different places setting the rules, so it can't be a "they."

Look at Lambgoat, joining the drama. You guys are becoming a tabloid rag.

It's like Lambgoat is now owned by Charlie from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

Great now Bloodclot has multiple label options

anonymous 3/2/2023 11:44:29 AM

I'll never not get a kick out of these clearly uneducated people throwing blind support by the 1-2 doctors they can find worldwide who'll reinforce their opinions on vaccinations, abortion, COVID protection methods, etc. You know, as if the rest of the medical industry aren't recommending vaccines, washing your hands, quarantine if you're sick and just... generally being a compassionate human not trying to get people -- particularly the immunocompromised -- gravely ill. If you have to scour the internet in search of more than a handful of "officials" who think like you, you're probably trying to push a bullshit debunked opinion and you're an asshole.

anonymous 3/2/2023 11:48:05 AM

Gay bands but opinion backed hard. Leave me out of your weird vacks cult. I do support cult members getting vacksed and b00sted haaaard, though

"Suggests" = "forces" Got it.

anonymous 3/2/2023 12:32:14 PM

"Suggests" = "forces" Got it. What, reps from the FDA don't show up at your house every day and force you to get all the "recommended" amount of nutrients!??

NorthFromHere 3/2/2023 12:37:52 PM

Ash is a nepo baby who plays around at life because of papa's success. That said, I enjoy his willingness to mix it up over Covid and bitch about Cali politics in general. And Misha Mansoor is a dweeb for getting involved and his band's vocalist totally sucks.

tactical_hotdog 3/2/2023 12:50:17 PM

anonymous 3/2/2023 12:52:13 PM

anonymous 3/2/2023 12:56:58 PM

I personally support everyone (the gullible) who wants to vote for Trump in 2024 despite the "rigged system" not being rectified. If you go along with that angle, will you be surprised and outraged that it was rigged again?

anonymous 3/2/2023 1:21:46 PM

if trump groupies could just stfu forever, that would be much appreciated. thanks

anonymous 3/2/2023 1:27:29 PM

Ash did get money from his dad (via child support) but was disowned until he was in his 30's and never met the guy until then

anonymous 3/2/2023 1:34:29 PM

Great now Bloodclot has multiple label options HAHAHA Yeah, most of Ash's whole trip is that he has massive daddy abandonment issues. He's basically cosplaying his dad now as an adult.

anonymous 3/2/2023 1:47:18 PM

Dude, at this point of the story, if you got injected even once, you are a gullible dumb sheep. And if you still think it was the right choice, what you lack in intelligence and critical thought, you overcompensate in denial.

anonymous 3/2/2023 1:55:27 PM

This guy goes to sleep at night pissed off that none of his bands are as big as turnstile

anonymous 3/3/2023 9:40:43 AM

He's actually 100% correct. The fact that this is still being discussed is alarming. Misha? Shut the f*ck up

I love how Misha drives around cars he can't afford and pretends to be a rich

anonymous 11/6/2023 9:16:03 AM

ash may not have been a part of his dad's life, but that won't stop him from using the avildsen name to his advantage. he also went to expensive private schools growing up, not something the avg person gets access to
