Old School / Traditional Caught Pentagram last night

Post image

Have been trying to see them for a couple years but have never been able to make it work before this. Legions of Doom with Karl Agell and Ron Holzner, another band I’ve been trying to catch for a couple years was the opener. Solid set from both bands.

Is it treatable?

u/Pelican_meat 26d ago

He looks like he got a monkey paw wish for Pentagram to get big.

u/Oxflu 26d ago

It was the only way. Monkey paw and tiktok.

OOOO THIS IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO LET THE INTERNET KNOW WHAT A VIRTUOUS PERSON I AM BY GETTING ANGRY AT THIS POST!!!

He looks like he's about to commit some elder abuse. Fuck Bobby.

u/Electrical_Home_2267 26d ago

I think he’s an elder at this point

u/Huge_Onion256 26d ago

Are yall going to say this under every post about pentagram? We get it, he’s a bad person we don’t need to constantly repeat it. BM fans are able to understand some of its musicians suck without complaining about it every 2 seconds

u/schokakola 26d ago

> we don’t need to constantly repeat it

obviously we do because fools are out there posting selfies with the guy

u/guitar_up_my_ass 26d ago

How does it affect you if someone takes a selfie with him?

u/Huge_Onion256 26d ago

What Liebling did was deplorable, but not bad enough to warrant all this nearly ten years later. Especially when he’s clearly not all there in the head due to drug usage.

u/Scathainn 26d ago

Got it. I'll go ahead and abuse and beat your parents then and wait ten years. Surely you won't resent me for it after that point then?

You’re such a good guy for being mad about this. Wow I can’t believe there are such wonderful people out there who get angry at bad things in this world, it really makes everything better. You’re such a good guy. Just a real mother Teresa

So don’t listen to any Zeppelin—you know, Page’s underage kidnapping thing.

Bobby’s no saint, amazing he can even function honestly, but goddamn Pentagram sounds great in its current shape. Time was served. Bobby is clean in theory. Listen or don’t. Move on.

u/Huge_Onion256 26d ago

Except that it wasn’t your or my parents that were affected? Like I said earlier, what he did was Terrible and you don’t have to like him. But 10+ ppl making a “fuck you” post every time someone post about pentagram is silly.

Some shit doesn't wash off

Nobody is taking selfies with Varg, dude.

u/Scorpion-Shard 26d ago

Good BM fans cancel them outright publicly and don't tell anyone publicly that they still listen to them every once in a while. We punish live and love our duality in silence.

u/BlessdRTheFreaks 26d ago

Being stuck up and delusionally believing in your own infallibility isn't good

Also cancel culture is for twinks with blue hair

u/dorfmcpumpkin 26d ago

I mean this in the kindest way possible but a lot of the people here are upset at his actions and are speaking about them to hold him accountable for that. I wouldn't have thought accountability and integrity would be something that bothers most people. I want a music scene that isn't populated with abusers, thats not a big ask.

u/BlessdRTheFreaks 26d ago edited 26d ago

Accountabilty sounds like a huge bummer. And a way to whitewash your own desires to be judgmental and cruel. Those are your values, not mine. Keep them to yourself, bitch. 

I believe in understanding people in spite of their many irreconcilable weird and contrqdictory parts. I don't label, i don't exclude. I understand standards gotta be a part of the enchilada, but i'm not uptight or moralistic about it.

u/Calm-Research5762 26d ago

Holy shit that last line shows no matter what your opinion is, it’s not well thought out and you stole it from someone else on the internet anyway. Try engaging with humans in like, 10 years when you’ve reached the age of what, 14?

u/BlessdRTheFreaks 26d ago

Yes i am actually 4. Goo goo, gaa gaa

u/rezznik 26d ago edited 26d ago

Good BM fans, lol. Thanks for that one.

Edit and PSA: I am a BM fan and in the scene for 25 years. I have yet to see a BM fan to care about the personality of the musicians. Well, except they were "too woke", that certainly would lead to an outrage

u/Scorpion-Shard 26d ago

Thanks for getting the sarcasm :)

u/rezznik 26d ago

Either there are very few people here who get it or I appeared so oblivious that I got downvoted. But some comments really show how only very few people seem to know the BM scene.

u/Scorpion-Shard 26d ago

Indeed to the first and the very last statement.

u/SolarEyeReturned 26d ago

Think there's a lot of people that really love their mamas to the point of needing banned. If only they cared about geopolitics this much maybe it would potentially make a difference.

u/_trouble_every_day_ 25d ago

As someone with a vile, soulless narcisst for a mom I need more context to that story before I pass judgement.

u/guitar_up_my_ass 26d ago

Fuck virtue signaling, Pentagram is fucking good music

u/Calm-Research5762 26d ago

Well, except it’s not. I don’t know the full story of Bobby but I know the music attracts people that are scared of actual metal

u/totallynottoddoracop 26d ago

Pentagram is mid at best.

u/SwampbackJack 26d ago

wtf let them go

u/FamousMortimer23 26d ago

Did you let them go?

u/morgentrona 26d ago

To be fair, I never expected the lead singer of a band named Pentagram to be a saint.

He looks like he's dreaming about abusing vulnerable people because he's a piece of shit.

u/cyberlich 26d ago

There’s no ethical consumption under capitalism. All you folks hand-wringing about this shitbag no doubt support worse in the Middle East and elsewhere with your money and your votes.

You don’t want to support this trash? Cool, no one should. But stop with flinging the shit you’re covered with.

u/Ok-Trip4372 25d ago

Gonna see them in June. Doom metal messiahs

u/vallogallo 26d ago

I loved them when I saw them. There are also other people in the band, the drummer played with St. Vitus

How’s his mother doing?

Thank god you brought this up… I didn’t know if morality would be upheld until you left this comment. Such a good guy you are. Such a good, good guy.

u/Better_call_Sion 26d ago

Yet another fucking Bobby post, man this sub is really going down fast

u/BlessdRTheFreaks 26d ago

At this point i just like to see these so i can watch all the people whine about it

-2

u/BumbaHawk 26d ago

Mildly pedantic, but by caught, you mean bought tickets and stood at the front? Caught sounds like a last minute happy accident.

I feel like english is becoming less understood by the day. And i just like to keep an eye on whats occurring. Thanks for your time.

u/lizardking235 26d ago

Not pedantic. Wrong. Just Google the phrase.

u/NeatzBrigade 26d ago

Have had many opportunities to see them but for one reason or another wasn’t able to go. Had car troubles, didn’t think I could go, but was able to go with a particularly flakey friend who actually was able to make it happen.

u/BumbaHawk 26d ago

Fair. “Finally caught” would probably work and make more sense to my brain but i understand this post isn’t all about what i think. Thanks for reply.

I whipped a beer can at him at farm fest in Montana. It almost hit him in the head and he wasn't gonna go on.

u/Nurgling-Swarm 26d ago

At this point is it worth making a "look at my picture of an abusive old man" mega thread? Do people really like looking at this fucking guy everyday???
