Former SUM 41 Guitarist To 'Metal Elitists': 'You Can Go F**k Yourself'

Former SUM 41 guitarist Dave "Brownsound" Baksh has issued the following update on his metal project BROWN BRIGADE, also featuring Baksh's cousin Vaughn Lal:

"So Vaughn and I have finally decided what we are going to do. BROWN BRIGADE will be strictly and online presence with a few tiny moments of vinyl and splits.

"When we started the idea for this band the industry was not well equipped for a strictly online presence. Songs will now consist of a lineup we ultimately decide. So we won't be sticking to standard bullshit. We will also write a lot more than metal so be prepared and don't be a pussy when it comes to the 'out-there' stuff we make.

"I hope you all understand that Vaughn has a business to run and I have much of my time being put into ORGAN THIEVES these days.

"When we tried to make BROWN BRIGADE a full-time gig, we found we were met with a lot of hostility from metal elitists, most of them born post-1990.

"I hate to sound like an old man, but if you think you know metal, you can go fuck yourself. We also got some hostility from punkers as well. This surprised me as a particular group of 'punx' from our PENNYWISE tour told us to 'eat shit and die.' This was said right as they were entering an H2 driven by what appeared to be their mother. I should mention they took special care in making sure their mohawks didn't hit the ceiling. I can understand it probably costs a lot to get that done at the salon, not to mention the price of hair fudge these days.

"We also know many of you are saying. 'Whoah, man, ease up.' I think we have spent too much time 'easing up.' My hippie blood is boiling, so eat a dick."

BROWN BRIGADE's video for the song "Aggravation Plantation" can be viewed below. The song comes off the group's full-length debut, "Record Into the Mouth of Badd(d)ness", which came out in September 2007.
