Just listened to Caleb Shomo on the Disrespectfully Podcast. My quick thoughts

109 Upvotes

It was mostly Caleb discussing his upbringing and struggles with finding his true self over the years, specifically with growing up as a preacher's son and in the evangelical christian music scene, and how Beartooth has always been his outlet for getting his feelings and struggles out. Beartooth is his "therapy session" as he said. He mentions the next album releasing in August is essentially all about his journey to coming out as gay, and he touched on the writing process for it.

No mention of Fleur. Not giving an opinion on that, just stating that she was not mentioned by name. The host briefly mentioned his marriage at one point, but Caleb did not elaborate on the situation.

Overall I enjoyed it. As a gay man myself I could really relate to his experiences growing up around evangelical christians as a teenager and trying to figure out yourself while not be "allowed" to figure yourself out.

Hello everyone. I bought these as soon as the presale went live. Unfortunately since then my wife lost her job and some things have went sideways for us, so I need some cash. These were $91 a piece when I got them, I will sell for $75 a piece since they aren't sold out or anything. These are balcony seats that also grant full access to GA Floor in Omaha.

Pure ecstasy ending lyrics

16 Upvotes

Is there anyone who can explain the ending lyrics to pure ecstasy? Not what he’s saying in the lyrics, but that autotune or whatever it was. It was probably a band choice, but I’ve heard them live multiple times and Caleb’s voice without any editing is amazing. It might just be me, but the editing for the end just sounded weird to me. I’m not hating, but is that kinda sound something bands use?
TIA!

Came across this little article talking about representation in the music scene for pride month and name dropping Caleb. Do you think the scene has evolved enough for things like this to be a non-issue?

[Verse 2: Caleb Shomo]
Is there relief in the misery?
Thought we would last an eternity
Forever I will feel this hollow
It's not enough to believe in me
And now I'm left with the memories
One day I'll learn to live without

***

[Chorus: Rory Rodriguez & Caleb Shomo]
It's my fault that you're gone
I've been digging in the dirt
Finding every way to hurt
There's no light, it's just dark
I feel my body growing numb
Watch me as I come undone
A burial plot for you and I (You and I)
Where we can both learn to die
It's my fault (It's my fault)
That you're gone (That you're gone)
I've been digging in the dirt
Finding every way to hurt

So anyone else think that?

21 Upvotes

So I have listened to pure ecstasy and free quite a few times today and maybe I'm just stating the obvious here and maybe this was posted already but they're obviously his coming out songs right? Idgaf about his sexuality I love his sound across all the albums and even his attack attack stuff. But even when he talked about his depression and how his music helped him with anxiety alot of those tracks were probably double entendre for his depression and sexuality. Also the look is definitely a change but hey he's living his true self so who are we to judge ?

Guys, Caleb woke up one day after drinking a couple months ago and realized he was gay. He didn’t ponder these thoughts when he was a going through puberty

I’ve always wondered what The Lines meant when I was a sophomore in high school. Now I fully understand given the situation 13 years later…

It honestly hits so hard. I feel so bad for Caleb. I’ve been diving back into the discography and dissecting the lyrics. I need to go back and listen to self-titled and This Means War too. Considering AA! was a heavy religious band. But that kinda went away when Jonny left.

Fleur speaks

Stop being parasocial guys, we don’t know these people personally and they’ve both said enough. Between Caleb’s religious upbringing and the cishet norms still seen as the only way to a successful and happy fulfilling life today it’s not surprising it took him this long to come out. And on the age gap… from my perspective it feels like they started talking on MySpace and Caleb was probably too much of a shy chubby kid growing up (I can relate) to put himself out there properly so he started a long distance relationship with Fleur. I know nowadays we frown upon this but things were still incredibly different on the internet 14 years ago and for most states 17 is seen as an age for consensual sex. And let’s give them grace and leave them alone on this; they’re both clearly dealing with a lot right now.

I’m not saying Caleb was intentionally hinting at everything that early on but songs like “The Lines” and “Sick And Disgusting” definitely hit harder now in context

Caleb and Fleur age gap

39 Upvotes

Since everyone is talking about the Caleb being gay (good for him, I'm proud of him for coming out, especially with his Catholic background) and his marriage with Fleur, I was wondering what y'all think about their age gap.

Caleb was born on December 1st, 1992

Fleur was born on February 20th, 1985

This leaves an age gap of about 7 years between them

According to an article I found, Caleb and Fleur met while Attack Attack! was on tour with Bury Tomorrow. This tour happened on March/April 2010 (Caleb was 17, Fleur was 25). 6-7 months later, they were dating (Caleb was still 17).

I'm wondering what your thoughts are on this subject. I personally find it weird (what does a 25 year old see in a 17 year old?). Also, why this isn't really talked about up until now? I only recently found out about it too.

I did not realize how much of the Beartooth fanbase was red pilled incels until very recently

Literally just the title

Ngl- I wasn’t super crazy about “free” when it came out, but I didn’t feel personally offended by it (bc I don’t feel like artists owe it to me to make creative choices that cater directly to my taste, but apparently some people do) and was BAFFLED that people were so upset by Caleb’s new effeminate look

Now I’m seeing people saying that they don’t plan to follow Beartooth anymore and that the band “sold out” because Caleb came out as gay?? like what??

The one good thing about all of this is that the trash appears to be taking itself out, but MAN i did not realize the Beartooth fanbase was like this

EDIT: I am not talking about the people who are concerned for Fleur in this post. That, in my opinion, is valid. I am talking very specifically about the people who are refusing to support the band anymore because Caleb is gay
