[quote]The crazed gunman who slaughtered three of his ex-bandmates in the Iranian rock group The Yellow Dogs had been bounced from the band for stealing, sources said Monday.
The band – which was profiled in a 2009 CNN feature on the underground rock scene in Tehran – came to the US in 2011, and the unidentified member was tossed out a year later, the source said.
He allegedly shot the band’s 27-year-old guitarist, Soroush Farazmand, in a second-floor bedroom and then climbed to the third floor where he killed singer Ali Eskandarian, 35, and drummer Arash Farazmand.
He also allegedly shot Sasan Sadeghpourosko, 22, twice in the arm outside the building at 318 Maujer St., the official said. He was not believed to be in the band.
The killer angrily confronted one of the bandmates before the shootings, sources said.
“He said something like ‘Why did you bring me over here [from Iran] and then throw me out?’” a source said.
“You always see them coming in and out of their house with their musical instruments in cases. They seemed like great kids, never bothered anybody.” said Martin Greenman, 63, a metal worker who works near the building where the shootings took place
“They resembled each other with the curly black hair and the tight jeans. They looked like typical hipsters,” he said.[/quote]

I wonder if it's the same documentary I saw about metal in Iran or possibly Iraq.

Oh maybe this is a different band then. I'll double check.

I miss bad reading.
I wasn't going to bother correcting you twice but since you were so smug about it...
[quote]Originally, media reports described Akhbar as a former band member who had been thrown out of the band three days before. In later reports, however, it was stated that he had never been an official member of the Yellow Dogs, but had hung out with Yellow Dogs since being expelled in 2012 from a different Iranian emigre rock band, Free Keys.[/quote]
That's pretty metalocalypse right there..
Not bad :v:
they brought him away from home then seemingly kicked him out of the band, and he's stranded in the US, that must really suck
not enough to justify murder obviously - but that would have been a shit situation to find yourself in
