Online Comments Spark Feud Between Sam Smith, Pantera
Comments written by fans on YouTube have stirred up an unlikely feud between singer-songwriter Sam Smith and heavy metal band Pantera. The conflict started when commenter biebersuckscock wrote in the comments of Stay With Me, âall u ppl who lik dis shit dont no wat reel music is pantera kills sam smith!!!1âSmith fan manginamonologue responded on Panteraâs classic Revolution is my Name, âDo you term this racket music? I call it unidentifiable, expletive-laden filth, that holds no status among momentous artists of Samâs ilk.âFans of both artists then entered unrelentingly into the online furor, eventually leading to Sam Smith himself speaking out.âPantera can suck my dick!â shouted Smith, under layers of black make-up at a recent concert. âWho gives a f*** about them anymore? Theyâs nobodies. All hail the devil of the music underground, Sam Smith!âPantera uploaded a video in response, including all three remainingÂ members of the now defunct band standing solemnly with their arms around each other.âWeâre all quite devastated with Samâs unfair attack on us,â drummer Vinnie Paul says in the understated recording. âWeâve all been fans of his since he was still an amateur singing on YouTube, and weâve even been experimenting as a Sam Smith cover band â we need to make money somehow.âLead vocalist Phil Anselmo then states, âAll we want is an apology. This fighting has hurt us to the core, and we are sure it is just a misunderstanding. We know that Sammy is mature enough to acknowledge the unintended pain caused by his actions, and we can all put this behind us.âSmith has been quoted, unofficially, as saying, âOh my God, theyâre such pussies. âOoooh, weâre so sad, he hurt our feeeelings.â They must just wash the sand out of their vaginas and go back to jacking each other off in parking lots.â
