[@royalcat10]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. It seems weird that he would be stat-flexing stats from a dying music streaming service. Spotify has dominated Pandora for years now. Which I guess if you think about it makes sense. A larger portion of Slipknot fans are more up to date with what's the best service right now, and will primarily be using Spotify than Pandora, making Slipknot's Pandora streams seem less. While Trapt fans tend to be... 'Trapt' in the past and still using Pandora, making a large portion of their fan base still there, the few that are left. I believe he's absolutely clinging to Pandora just to make it seem like his numbers are bigger than they really are in comparison to better and bigger artists.

And, after the show the guitarist dropped a bag of coke on the floor while talking to a group of BARLEY legal girls. Which leads me to think the other members dinghy really care what he's doing.

Maybe they are most popular on Spotify because people play 2000’s hits a lot. Whenever I go to any 2000’s hits headstrong is the first song to play. I can honestly say I’ve never heard another song from them.

[@slevingarganera8375]

That's true, Headstrong has 212 million streams on Spotify right now because it's the only known song by Trapt. Everything else is just cheesy 2000s alt rock/nu metal/post-grunge filler. They aren't bad music , but they're not great either. It's just kinda...... you know, bland. (This is just my opinion on everything so I hope Chris Taylor Brown doesn't attack me or whatever.)

Trapt bashing SlipKnoT? No. Just no. I know this is gonna come off biased because I love SlipKnoT and can’t stand Trapt but SlipKnoT is WAY more successful than Trapt has ever been (or will be if Trapt’s “singer” doesn’t keep his mouth shut) and Trapt on their “best” day can’t amount to SlipKnoT on their worst day.

I opened up for Trapt in 2014. Basically uneventful aside from being pay to play but they were the most jaded band I have ever seen. Chris didn't interact with a single audience member all show. They barely said 2 words to anyone there. They were too good to be there... Kinda sad seeing it was 2014...

[@NexusKin]

That makes sense, given that they hadn't been part of a remotely decent record label since 2010, and also that all the most talented members of the band had left by then.

I supported Trapt randomly at a small show in the UK in 2017 and it was horrible: - They turned up over an hour LATE while supplying back line. - Proceed to take up the whole allotted time for sound check for all the bands with JUST his vocals. - Side note, it was mostly him trying to "strain" his vocals in some sort of sex noise sounding routine. - Went to do that whole "oh hey we are one of the support bands", was blanked and pushed out the way. - Attendance was like 40 and a large majority were our mates there to see us. - Chris sat in his van outside all night only coming in the venue to play their set and again straight back to the van. - Ended up downing shot's with the support bands and Trapt's stand in guitarist. P.S - we legit only did it because the venue owner offered us a gig at late notice, we didn't know who they were until we looked them. Plus we hadn't played a gig in a while
