After an unexpected shoutout to Angry Metal Guy in Rolling Stone Magazine last week, the entire AMG staff walked off the job Monday to seek greener pastures in mainstream music journalism.
After fielding claims of staffers being too “crazy-ass talented” and “uptown big-time fancy pants” to work for AMG, site Consensus Builder Steel Druhm held an emergency town hall meeting to inform the recalcitrant writers that the piece wasn’t “that positive and barely mentioned the site” and that they had as much chance of landing a real writing job as they do of becoming successful musicians. Contractual terms mandating lifetime servitude and draconian severance policies were also highlighted.
Several staffers grudgingly came to their senses following the heart-to-heart with management, realizing AMG was indeed the zenith of their lackluster writing careers. Others still vowed to make a major splash in Big Media, submitting applications to high-end enterprises like MetalSucks and The Toilet Ov Hell.
Reports of brutally negative references and blackballing efforts from AMG HQ have been coming in all day as this saga plays out. Stay Tuned.
