You Me At Six bus crash hoax

You Me At Six were the victims of an internet hoax at the weekend saying that they'd been killed in a bus crash.

According to a few malicious Tweets, the band, who are currently touring the US as part of the Vans Warped Tour, were involved in a bus crash while travelling from the Sam Houston Race Park in Houston, Texas to the Superpages.com Center in Dallas, Texas on Saturday (July 3).

"For any of you guys have heard that we were in a crash and all injured, [it's] not true," Tweeted frontman Josh Franceschi yesterday. "In fact, I have a beer in my hand [right now]."

First off, glad their alive. Not glad there're on warped tour. Surely it's like selling ice to Eskimos??

The fact this band got big is wrong. They the most averge band ever. Albums are average, and they're boring live. There are so many better pop-punk bands in the uk.

Plus somone tell the police, josh is 19 or 20 right? Drinking in America??

i think after they finish this our cycle a few people will forget about them and they'll be back to small venues and few festivals.. well hopefully any way... can't wait for Reading Fest.. they are so gona be the band that gets bottled/ bboed this year... not that i support it... i just know its gona be them this year!

awhhh, what a pity, I wish they did have a crash, not to die, but at least to be shaken up to say we are quitting music, Id take that. what? I cant have that, well die it is then.

Man, I had my hopes up as well. Ugh.

Dang! I really hoped the talentless wasters might finally have popped their clogs. Such a shame. They're so boring. Every song on their albums sounds the same, just with different lyrics and more irritating "singing" from that wanker Josh. And how dumb are their fans?! Ironically though, they too look identical to the next. Almost like a tribute to the average, pointlessness of the band.

Actually, hell, if they're still making their shitty music in two years time I'll kill them myself.

You're right. They are a deserving band. It's just a shame, ameliaarrrrrr, that they didn't die in a crash like they deserved. It's just a shame someone didn't burn all their demo tapes before they got famous and saved us all from their so-called "talent". Pah. Talent my arse.

ok folks, chill out. i obviously dont want them dead, thats abit harsh. and at reading this year i'm certainly not gonna beone of those c*nts that perposly goes out of there way to bottle and boo a boo a band they dont like (mainly slayer fans do this). i'll probly go for a shit, grab a burger and a beer and get a good spot for limp bizkit.

the first time i saw the origonal vid for save for the bedroom. i didnt like it cause i feel there far better uk pop-punk bands that arent on tv. i guessed theyd be a good live band.

the first time i saw them live was supporting new found glory in cov in feb2008. i thorught they were really boring to watch, and the songs were really standard and boring. theres was no life to them,

some bands have managed to sway me bassed on live performance. these didnt. the last time i saw them was at reading last year, on a big stage with around 10,000 people watchin them. still boring and lifeless. and i beleive the fact that they are on warped tour living the dream of so many bands sucks.

calling all YM@6 fans. check out these bands and support them!

I'd happily bottle Bizkit and YM@6.

@Purple Demon

Would you like it if people started bottling a band you really like? No you wouldn't. i can't stand Limp Bizkit's music so what do I do? I don't pay any attention to them and listen to what I like, you shouldn't ruin live music for people unless you want live music ruin for you.

Simple answer don't watch them. Go watch a band you wanna see.

Ok, no need for 3 posts lol!!! Sorry!!!

Ok, I'll be the first to admit I'm not a fan of this bands music but obvs wishing they were dead is just a bit harsh.

If you wanna see something funny, then check out how the dumb Bieber kid is gonna get forced to play in North Korea. I think theirs more chance of him dying to be honest ;)

When I saw the headline 4 this on Kerrang! I actually thought they'd been in a bus crash.

But then I read the actual thing and it's all good xD

I love YMAS would've been so upset if it's actually happened.

When I saw the "I love YM@S" comments I died a little inside. As if the story itself wasn't bad enough!

But hopefully they'll do a Bieber, and get themselves sent to North Korea. LOLOLOLOL.

What the point on coming on here just to say how much you hate them and how much you hate there fan

If you hate them dont read about them or listen to them

Personaly i like ym@6 and dont think there boring live and i seen them a few times and met them few times and they are really nice people and would of been really upset if they were in bus crash and died

Oh well there are plenty more buses they have to go on.

We can only hope

You should never wish death upon a person, how would you like it if your mother was killed in a bus crash? Hopefully you would feel sa if your at least somewhat human.

If you don't like a band just ignore them, that's what i do. If you want to hear nothing but metal new, go visit metalhammer.co.uk I'm sure there are sad lonely old men just like you on there.

i like you me at six, but even if i didn't, what's the point in clickiing a link about them just to post abuse?

Ffs. If you don't like a band, fine. If you can't stand a band member, fine. If you hate an entire genre, fine. But to wish death upon a whole band? I think if you can seriously say you wish they died, then you really have problems.

You guys are harsh :/ Just cause you dont Like you me at six doesnt mean other people dont aswell, Im sure you would be really fucked off if someone said i hope a band you liked died , Just Leave them alone , if they weren't good then why are they where they are and so successful? Exactly Dickheads :)
