- kmotiv1, on 04/21/2008, -7/+555No one is illegally downloading Biohazard because no on gives a ***** about Biohazard. This is a cry for attention from a forgotton group of washed up musicians.
- inactive, on 04/21/2008, -6/+480This guy should look at what NIN and Radiohead are doing maybe someone would actually give two ***** about Biohazard
- FriedOstrich, on 04/21/2008, -5/+310Who the ***** is this guy and why does anyone care what he thinks?
- AsSubtleAsABrik, on 04/21/2008, -11/+195The real problem is they don't realize that pirated music does not necessarily correlate to lost sales. Most of the music I download I wouldn't pay for anyway. I can't. I don't have the money to do it. So they didn't lose any money from me. Probably gained something because I tell my friends about it and maybe they will pay for it.
***** greedy people (read the RIAA). - JMilton, on 04/21/2008, -6/+159I don't get it. He has a problem with people who share and enjoy his music, but he doesn't have a problem sharing his own wife with the rest of porn *****. Consistency?
- thedragon4453, on 04/21/2008, -4/+145Man, that last paragraph just screams of idiocy. Claiming that file sharing killed heavy metal? The decline of metal has nothing to do with the changing tastes of the growing public? I guess that file sharing must have killed big band swing, and disco, and so on.
Or, this gem: "If you are going to steal from someone, steal programs from Microsoft ‘cause they can afford it, but don’t steal from creative artists who make movies and music and TV programs for your enjoyment because you become part of the problem."
All of a sudden its okay to take programs that thousands of businesses and consumers rely on and use on a daily basis, but shouldn't download the art that is music and movies? XP has less dollar value than a Biohazard album? If MS had never existed the world would be a different place. If Biohazard never existed, all that would change is that the RIAA and MPAA would have one less shill. - vfreak2, on 04/21/2008, -15/+145This guy needs an encounter with Anonymous.
- tehbored, on 04/21/2008, -0/+129Forgotten? I've never heard of them in the first place!
- ampm2, on 04/21/2008, -4/+112quote "....and you better know that if he catches you doing it, he will happily “kick the ***** out of you”."
Well he will need to kick the ***** out from about 1 of 10 internet users.... - MavRevMatt, on 04/21/2008, -7/+114Wow, what a douche.
- ThePenrod, on 04/21/2008, -1/+94Who the hell is stealing Biohazard's music?
- SocialPoison, on 04/21/2008, -2/+94Who the ***** is Biohazard?
- MAGZine, on 04/22/2008, -5/+94Evan,
You must be frustrated with Filesharers. You must be frustrated with me. Really though, I think there is a problem here. You're not trusting your fans. If people want to download your music, you shouldn't call them out on it and call them evil scumbags. They made you who you are. Perhaps you didn't realize, but there are 3 compontents that people look for when going to purchase music:
a) is it cheap?
b) is it available? (Where do I have to go to get it)
c) where does the money go? (Artist, or to the label)
What is cheap? Is your music? Unlikely. You want to know whats cheap? Search Nine Inch Nails. $5 for a 36 track album. Thats cheap. They don't have a label. They had varying packages, free, $5, $10, $75, $300. They released their new album silently. They made $1.6 MILLION in the first week, and that money went entirely to the artists, not to some dumb label. I bought their music, and I downloaded for free 7 tracks they gave me. That is a change of pace from what I usually do, which is pirate up the Wazoo.
Now, I read what you said about pirates over at TorrentFreak.com. You know what that made me want to do? It made me want to download an unknown artist's music, and listen to it. Artists like you who don't care about what their fans want, and are in it for the money only are snobs. You don't deserve to be an artist. Good to see that you blame pirates for the fact that you live on the streets, barely making it by, eating whatever you can find, not what you can afford. Oh wait. Why don't you just walk into the damned grocery store and take some food. Poor people get something to eat at the shelters. Notice the connection. NIN's free, small selection of music, the free food at the shelter. Its not good food, but it'll help you through the night.
Wouldn't it be better to not spend all that money on the laywers? Pirates are going to pirate if you police the internet or not, you might as well save your bucks. Trust me on this one.
I use Google to find all of my music. So you should start to sue Google I guess. Not really, but thats the principle behind the BitTorrent sites. You can't say they're the problem -- they're not responsible for how their users use the service. Its YOUR fans who are buying the music, and putting it up, and its YOUR fans who are pirating it. Quit trying to stop the impossible, and quit treating the people who raised you to your throne so high like criminals, we don't appreciate it.
You're the scum bag.
Regards,
James. - nogami, on 04/21/2008, -2/+86Biohazard? Never heard of them. Don't care. No story here. Move along please.
- tehbored, on 04/21/2008, -2/+80You can steal from Microsoft because they can afford it, but don't steal from Atlantic Records because they're poor and obviously can't.
- skidpro, on 04/21/2008, -5/+75who the **** are Biohazard? I thought it was a game on X360.......
- EyeSurgery, on 04/21/2008, -2/+64He must golf with Lars Ulrich, same uninformed arguments. And hypocrisy to boot! Why don't the filthy rich understand economics?
- geoken, on 04/21/2008, -2/+64Hey biohazard-guy-nobody-has-heard-of, post up your email address. I'll download your album, mail you a screenshot and give you the details so you can attempt to deliver the promised ass kicking.
- niradg, on 04/21/2008, -2/+55http://thepiratebay.org/tor/3849971/Biohazard
- presidentjapan, on 04/21/2008, -1/+54I've never even heard of the band.
- buildbyflying, on 04/21/2008, -4/+53What torrent sites are doing is leveling the playing field.
When music went digital, it was inevitable that the value of the music would drop. It's able to be copied without a reduction in quality over infinite generations. Imagine if this were the case for gold? Or diamonds? After all cubic zirconium is not the same thing.
As for music "pirates", these are people who feel the music industry has taken unfair advantage of their pocketbooks and until they sell content at a price more reasonable to the demand then they will continue to get the product for free. Supply and demand. Right now it's a buyer's market. But the buyer is reasonable, look at the profit of itunes, even with its glaring flaws it continues to do well.
Remember, people aren't "required" to pay anything for anything. No one's holding agun to your head and telling you to buy a car -- you buy a car when you need it. In NYC mass transport robs the car industry of millions of dollars that it could make if metro riders were all drivers (and car buyers). Does that mean the metro system is "stealing"? Whether or not the metro system is paid for is irrelevant, to compare it to torrents it would be more of a non-profit service.
And I love it when dudes who call themselves f*cker3 (because the first two were already taken) try to justify the lame comments of an aging musician whose work was never all that good so his new day job is picking up the wads of bills I jack off into. - vfreak2, on 04/21/2008, -4/+49It's Michael Jackson with boobs!
- McAmp, on 04/21/2008, -3/+47Their sound ***** sucks.
If you're looking for a band that fuses Hardcore Punk and Metal, listen to Refused. - matx, on 04/21/2008, -2/+40Compare biohazards top last weeks played track with nine inch nails top last weeks played track that was released free.

I don't think piracy is the problem here, it sounds like no one is listening to his music. - darkchild82, on 04/21/2008, -1/+39The only way people are still downloading Biohazard would be by accident. They probably thought they were getting the Japanese version of the Resident Evil games. What the hell is this douche complaining about anyway? His wife is Tera Patrick & he STILL gets to bang other women on camera.
P.S: For the uninitiated, Biohazard is what the Resident Evil games are known in Japan. - Woecip, on 04/21/2008, -1/+37I only clicked the link to see if there was a chance of side boob.
- Waiting2awake, on 04/21/2008, -8/+40Walking into a record store - taking a CD is stealing. In the record store there is no more CD because someone took the CD.
Downloading it from a torrent site is copying the CD - not stealing it. The record store would still have the CD.
Lets not let them frame the argument by using common phrases in uncommon ways. - oldhick, on 04/21/2008, -0/+31He's only pissed off 'cause his wife Terra Patrick is a porn star and who the ***** pays for porn? He wasn't ever going to make ***** off Biohazard.
- z0mbie2099, on 04/21/2008, -2/+32Who the ***** is Biohazard? These talentless generic bands have big mouths.
- str3ama, on 04/21/2008, -1/+30never heard of it/them ..but Metallica did this already and look where it got them...very very bad PR move, even if you manage to stop piracy - you'll lose fans. And anyone in the music industry should know that the majority of their income comes not from cd sales, but from merchandising and concerts - less fans=less ticket sales on concerts and less sold merchandise. Sure you may get a few extra sales from current fans who will support you - but you lose out on things that couldn't be pirated to begin with..take the smarter decision and allow piracy, but ramp up concerts and merchandising.
- chris9902, on 04/21/2008, -0/+28I'm gonna go download his ***** then delete it.
- aqcarter, on 04/21/2008, -0/+28LOL, who the hell is Biohazard, must be jealous no one is downloading his music
- shazzb0t, on 04/21/2008, -1/+28POINT. SET. MATCH.
GAME OVER. - Netik09, on 04/21/2008, -0/+27No one listens to bassists anyway.
- seanhive, on 04/21/2008, -5/+30Terribad stealing analogy
"OK, how about if the guys from Metallica will go into your father’s hardware store and steal a hammer off the shelf."
OK, how about if the guys from Metallica went into your father's hardware store and made an exact copy of the hammer on the shelf--and left you with yours, the original.
Oh wait. - PAStheLoD, on 04/21/2008, -2/+26Plust I've got to know a lot of bands from friends and through P2P, and whenever I can I go to their gigs, and pay for the entrance fee. And small bands got much more from that, than crappy album contracts.
- riddlebox, on 04/21/2008, -0/+24Well he won't be able to make it to your house because of the hummer he bought, with no album sales he can't afford to put gas in it. Its truly a sad sad story....
- kurupt, on 04/21/2008, -1/+25"Finally, Evan gives us an insight into why he believes people file-share, and suggests that it’s actually ok to “steal” stuff - as long as you do it to someone who can afford it……said the 4 million record selling musician with a $30m porn empire."
Looks like he can afford it. Too bad a lot of us don't give a ***** about his band, otherwise we might just take that advice to heart. - kinseyincanada, on 04/21/2008, -2/+26Who the ***** is Biohazard?
- DoubtingThomas, on 04/21/2008, -0/+22Dug for true irony!
- achacha, on 04/21/2008, -0/+22I think more people have banged his wife (Tera Patrick) than people who have actually heard of Biohazard.
- Herostratus, on 04/21/2008, -3/+25Biohazard suxxors something awful. I have music from hundreds (if not thousands) of artists, the vast bulk of which is Punk and Metal. A lot of it I bought, the rest I downloaded. Not one single track of the whole lot is from Biohazard. It has nothing to do with bit torrent, it has to do with the fact that your bad sucks. I understand that for an "artist" (tongue in cheek) this is hard to accept, but there does indeed exist a real standard of quality in music even for Punk and Metal. For example, Judas Priest kicks some serious ass as does (did) Pantera. NOFX and Rancid both have incredible staying power. Poison and Whitesnake however suck serious amounts of *****.
In fact, this is not even a new phenomenon. Long ago, people wrote horrors such as MacArthur Park and Hangin Tough. You see, you are not alone. You have a vast group of failed musicians from whom you too may draw pity. In fact, I would be willing to wager that you "chill" with a few of these eternal suxxorz. Just because they agree with you does not mean that you are right. And the sycophants that surround you yessing everything you seem to want to hear a yes on are so full of ***** as to rival even you.
I could continue all day like this, however I hate to kick a guy when he is down.
Oh yeah, and if you wanna fight me, bring it. When Im done with you I'll shove your stupid head up your stupid ass. Then I'll rock on to some more music that doesn't suck. - spearce, on 04/21/2008, -1/+21I totally downloaded Biohazard. That was Pauly Shore's pièce de résistance.
- davidjunit, on 04/21/2008, -3/+23IT'S EASY FOR DENNIS TO GIVE A ***** BECAUSE HE'S SO FULL OF *****!
- inactive, on 04/21/2008, -0/+20Biohazard is so 1995
- TotalHalibut, on 04/21/2008, -6/+24Not your personal army.
- doctorfungi, on 04/21/2008, -1/+18If I was in a big band, download my ***** music. Just come to my shows if you like it. Hell, buy a t-shirt if you want.
Simple. - Herostratus, on 04/21/2008, -0/+17***** you beat me to it! I wanted to be the one to call up the fact that Biohazard sucks!
- JedicodeWarrior, on 04/21/2008, -0/+16Wife?? I though that was a blow up doll next to him.
- DoubtingThomas, on 04/21/2008, -0/+16Biohazard was always a sub-par metal band, and I am being generous when I say that.
