ALL THAT REMAINS' Phillip Labonte Is A Homophobic Asshole
- Posted by RobInjection on November 3, 2011
All That Remains frontman Phillip Labonte is a very opinionated person, not having any qualms with discussing his political views on social networks, and that's all well and good, but a recent status update (seen above) went too far, in this writer's personal opinion. Labonte posted a photo of himself and the vocalist of Black Veil Brides with the caption "So a radio station has a a "vote for your fave song" kinda thing. Now I'm not commenting on our music at all. LOOK AT THIS FUCKING FAGGOT! Lulz." Now, this pissed me off for three reasons:
- I am about to defend Black Veil Brides (sorta), a band that I definitely dislike.
- Dude, you're 36 years old. You should be above using Lulz, lol, lawlz, lmfao in any context.
- Whether you accept it or not, you are a role model and using the term "faggot" is unacceptable for somebody of your stature. I'm not trying to be the liberal PC police here, but it's just unnecessary gay-bashing. Also, last time I checked, just because you put on some makeup, it doesn't make you a "faggot" otherwise every black metal band would be a big bad bunch of faggots. Also, back when you were a teenager, I am positive you were a Motley Crue fan. Guess what they wore?
So there you have it, I think Phil is a douche. As my friend Vince Neilstien commented, "he should use some of his patented auto-tune to sanitize himself." I'm done now. [via ThePRP]

1. The owner of this site is a massive ignorant faggot
2.Just because you use the word "lulz" or any derivative,doesn't mean you're immature.It's a normal element in something typed on the internet.
3.Faggot is a word used by everyone of every stature.
It does not necessarily mean the user is homophobic.He's basically saying Andy Sixx looks like a fucking teenage queer seeking attention.
Andy Sixx never claimed to be a homosexual,so where's the homophobia if there are no gays (yet) ?
My advice to the poster is to grow some balls,pull your head out of your ass and stop trying so hard to be politically correct.
And don't EVER compare Corpse Paint to a 12 year old girl filling her face with marks to rebel against her parents. Jesus Christ,go educate yourself.
Also : Black Veil Brides is the most ridiculously untalented band in history.
"lulz" isnt very metal though… ever see Corpsegrinder use lulz?
i think just the fact that he felt the need to post that on his facebook just shows hes a douche. whatever happened to supporting other artists? dickhead.
very true, he's supposed to be an adult, not some teenager gossiping on facebook. dont get me wrong, i hate black veil brides, but come on man, act your age
So wait, he means faggot as in queer, but not as in gay? Or do you mean queer as in gay? I'm confused. Or no, wait, you are.
1. Not very nice.
2. Debatable.
3. False. Maybe in your environment, but certainly not everywhere, and absolutely not of every stature.
This post takes balls precisely because of replies like yours.
"And don't EVER compare Corpse Paint to a 12 year old girl filling her face with marks to rebel against her parents." Ehrm, I´m pretty sure corpse paint is EXACTLY that.
OH BOY IT'S THIS POSTER AGAIN.
oh my god, shut the fuck up
Black Veil Brides SUCKS and Phil is a douche once again
i recall on the "Sounds of the Underground" DVD where the cameraman ask Phil "I see you use the word faggot on stage, thats not very P.C." Phil's response? "P.C. is for faggots"
Looks like Phil is as good at insulting people as he is singing clean live. And what did you expect from a 36 year old who sings about high school aged kids' problems?
I also hate how offended people get by words these days (The new three [or four if you count the N word] bad words: cunt, faggot and retard, especially.). If hollow words are the things that bother you the most, you have a pretty damn good life.
""And don't EVER compare Corpse Paint to a 12 year old girl filling her face with marks to rebel against her parents." Ehrm, I´m pretty sure corpse paint is EXACTLY that."

I very much agree. I'm a huge fan of All That Remains and Phil Labonte but its not ok for him to act that way and show that kind of blatant intolerance.
but all that remains sux……isnt he just calling the kettle black?!
Yep, they do indeed suck.
Now, I don't really care what words he uses, cause I use those words a lot as well, and being a Georgia boy and personally watching him call out some asshole in the pit with words such as Cunt, and Faggot, It doesn't effect me, and whilst I agree with his opinion, only more so for their lack of talent and not their look, because I like Motley Crue and how they look, it is unnecessary to do that kind of shit on an open website, every band is trying just as hard as he is to make it.
For once, I agree with Hereticmaggot. We, as believers in metal want to have our neighbour accept us for our "queer" looks and taste in ear-splitting music.
It doesn't do us justice to go and piss on each other's batteries. Besides, this dude doesn't look gay at all. He looks like those emo fuckers and that's a fact!
Points of interest: 1) Queer is not gay, but the old UK English word for odd.
2) Go listen to Dire Straits' "Money for Nothing"…
3) Y'all go have yourself a lovely day, now go fuck your mother.
I hope this clears up the terminology on the word Faggot. Enjoy.

ok, maybe Phill is a douche, but VBB sucks at so many levels, and they're actually disrespecting metal with their existence.
no actually BVB is a great band and ATR is disrespecting metal by being an ignorant dickhead
You know, it's just your opinion that they suck. So they are in no way "disrespecting" metal 'cause they have a lot of fans. And may I remaind you, that Andy is still only 20 years old and is getting better all the time and still finding his own look.
who the fuck is philip labonte and why do i give a fuck?
oh, all that remains. i care even less now.
Meh, I'm not the biggest All that Remains fan anyway, heh, i actually fucking love BVB even though Andrew has a huge ego and is fucking rude now
Phil can go suck a dick cuz hes the faggot. Black Veil Brides is a great band .
All that Remains is pretty good but phil is a complete asshole
Black Veil Brides deserve to be called faggots. Props to Phil.
You know whats funny to me how people are saying BVB sucks when they beat ATR in the poll
He's just being immature. He's almost 20 years older than Andy which amazes me the most. He's acting like he's still in highschool and it's ok to call everyone 'faggot' if he wants to. Grow the fuck up. You're an adult and you should know better. Andy is not even 21 and you just attack him like that just 'cause he beat your band in cockfight. Seriously. That's a stupid reason for almost a 40 year old guy to get mad about. I would understand if a 12 year old got mad about that, but otherwise it's just childish.
I have never listened to this band, but I have respect towards every humanbeing on this planet. I just gotta say that Phil here lost a whole lot of respect from me by doing that. And he never even apologized. Instead he got all defensive and shit.
That I just can't understand. How can he even be a role model for anyone, when he acts like that? He should've atleast apoligized to Andy and to everyone who got upset about this. You know, it doesn't take a lot of time to write that.
If Andy wants to dress like that, he can. That's not your corcern.
I can say about Andy that he is a far better role model. He would never sink so low to call someone a faggot. I think Andy is a good person and doesn't deserve all the hate he gets. And I do mean that HE gets the hate. The band gets less hate than Andy does, which is not right.
