meat 135 Posted November 11, 2018 I came across the story of "Threatin" this morning via my facebook and just cannot stop sipping this delicious tea. The basic story is, Jered Threatin, aka Threatin, is a supposedly amazing 'Top Rock Artist of the Year 2017' hailed from LA and is currently embarking on a UK and Europe tour. He's got millions of views on his YT channel, thousands of followers on his FB and twitter, and sold thousands of records etc. etc. Watch and behold his fabulousness!!!!! Except no one has ever heard of the guy and it turns out the whole rock star career has been elaborately fabricated, with Jered shelling out at least £30,000 of his own money to make this tour happen whilst pretending to be his own label, management, PR, and more. http://www.metalsucks.net/2018/11/09/l-a-band-threatin-faked-a-fanbase-to-land-a-european-tour-no-one-attended/ https://www.sickchirpse.com/guy-paid-thousands-pounds-tour-uks-most-prestigious-venues-play-nobody/ Since Threatin's incredible story has gone viral on the internet, his European tour is now ironically starting to sell! I don't know whether this is out of pity or simple curiousity, but please do report back if you are attending! 1 suji reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was amused about this whole thing at first but I now realise the human and economic costs to real committed musicians and reputable venues who have been dragged along on this hoax train, so I hope no one is seriously hurt from this, apart from Threatin's humungous ego of course.

meat 135 Posted November 11, 2018 Now that 2 musicians in his backing band have dropped out and both the French and German gigs cancelled and everybody are slagging the guy off, you might think the world is against Threatin the Rock God. Show your support and join the er... official fan club whilst most of the website is still working to keep up this rock phenomenon: https://www.threatin.com/fan-club The piss take version is here: https://twitter.com/ThreatinFanClub And don't forget the merch whilst they last https://www.threatin.com/shop Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
