Paolo from TRIVIUM Calls Phil Labonte "A Discount Jesse Leach" As Twitter Feud Continues

Yesterday, we reported on what was the beginning of a war of words on Twitter between All That Remains frontman Phil Labonte and Trivium bassist Paolo Gregaletto. The drama results from Labonte's appearance on a recent InfoWars segment where he gave his views on the problems with gun control.

At the time, Paolo joked that Labonte should stick to making Youtube videos instead of music. Labonte responded by saying that Paolo is the third most important person in a four man band, where the fourth person keeps changing. We documented the entire exchange yesterday, and today there is more:

You’re either punching up or you’re punching down, you can tell me which one it is.

Even I got into it a bit with Phil on Twitter after I decided to alert his label on where he chose to get publicity for himself and his band:

Hey @UMG @razorandtie, you must be so proud that one of your artists, @philthatremains is getting publicity on a website that is peddling crap like this. pic.twitter.com/1mrxB4ui3H

I wonder if the blogs understood my whole point of making that video was to try to help the conversation. To help people understand the law and things of that nature. https://t.co/Tq8bZLemAo

Your contribution was dismissing any sort of regulation while failing to offer anything resembling solution. And then you ran to your safe space to cry that mean bloggers made fun of you. https://t.co/yqCsXXjvzO

And I’ve been interacting with people about this one twitter and YouTube since so I don’t even think your insult about “going to a safe space” is accurate.

During your @InfoWars appearance, I heard nothing resembling a solution, just shooting down ideas and crying about bully bloggers with a dude who made his name on bullying.

— Rob Pasbani bracing for the nu metal revival (@robinjection) February 23, 2018

Well, if you watched the video that the piece on infowars was about…

Ya know, the one that started this whole hubbub.

The one where you shot down every solution and linked to a WSJ article? Yea, I watched it. But my original tweet was about your appearance on Info Wars.

— Rob Pasbani bracing for the nu metal revival (@robinjection) February 23, 2018

Rob, I didn’t shoot them down. I pointed out the issues that will arise and how difficult it will be. If you’re only interested in attacking me personally there is no point talking to you. Which is why I wouldn’t reach out to you guys in the first place.

I appreciate how measured and reasonable your responses are. Its hard for me to be anything but succinct on here, but would love to have a reasonable convo, without name calling about this serious situation off social media. Still doesn't excuse Info Wars signal boosting.

— Rob Pasbani bracing for the nu metal revival (@robinjection) February 23, 2018

I’m actually impressed with my tone as well considering the circumstances. Probably cause I legit am trying to help and not flame.

We were surprised as well, and still have an open invite to Phil to call into the Metal Injection Livecast (any Thursday) and discuss gun control in a serious manner.
