Proving that Canadians are not all smiles and sunshine, recent Jade Tree signing and Toronto-based hardcore act Fucked Up have written a song attacking fellow Canucks, Billy Talent.
You can check out the song here: "The Line." The troubles apparently started last year when a member of Billy Talent was waved into a cramped show at the Bovine Sex Club on Toronto's Queen Street while fans waited outside. Fucked Up guitarist 10,000 Marbles officially exiled members of Billy Talent from ever coming to their shows because, as he puts it, "They take up room from people who aren't slick douche-bag poseurs."

I heard about this a while back and thought the whole thing was silly. So a guy from Billy Tallent likes your band and gets waved in (it didn't say he used his celebrity to get in so I'm assuming whoever ran the door just let him in without force), big deal. Good call on insulting someone in another band who happened to like your band. 3+ Replies

So fucking lame. I've never heard "Fucked Up", and now have no interest to ever. I don't like Billy Talent, but I don't feel the need to publically humilate people over something as trivial as music. 2+ Replies

Fucked Up is such a good band I've yet to hear this song but it doesn't sound good from the description. The best hip hop diss songs are either "The Bitch In You" by Common Sense or "What Would U Do" by Tha Dogg Pound. 2+ Replies

I currently can't listen to the song, so maybe I'm wrong, but it seems like everybody is taking this way too seriously. These dudes talk a lotta shit about plenty of good bands like weekend nachos, so them taking shots at a band we all think is awful is totally unsurprising.
Someone (July 19, 2006)
oh and this will still be on of the best hardcore punk records of the year.

I don't get all the Billy Talent hatred from this site. They're not that bad of a band, I mean...they're not the best band either. This Fucked Up band is just a bunch of douchebags.

oh yeah, i have seen people from billy talent at the bovine before, they kinda grew up going to shows in toronto and probably have as much right to be there as anyone else, just that they used their celeb status to get something they didnt really deserve. wait in line like the rest of us.

HA! Now the little A-F rockers are ranting about "the unity." Sorry, bands have been calling each other out in HC since its inception, "scene unity" is a delusional myth for people who have no concept of what the music represents.

Fuck this "oooh Fucked Up is just trying to get free publicity". Well no fucking shit. Selling t-shirts that probably cost 6$ to make for 15$ is free publicity too. Imagine, having people PAY YOU to wear their name around wherever you go. I dont see this as being any different, and is probably unintentional. Its funny. its not even worth the fuss thats made out of it. Its just a song you can take and say " Hey buddy, listen to the funny intro to this track". Billy Talent DID start it. The members of Fucked Up were pretty pissed about the butting in line thing, and chose, for once, to not go quietly about these kinds of rockstar ego trip happenings anymore. Billy Talent was the band to write a song and throw it on an album that is going to sell millions of more copies than Fucked Up's new one coming out is ever going to.
