One of the (many) reasons we love Periphery is their above-and-beyond willingness to interact with their fans. Band founder Misha Mansoor can often be spotted here and elsewhere on the Internet responding to fan comments, both in earnest and sarcastically. Periphery were born of the message board era, and they haven’t forgotten where they came from even now that they’re vv. important mega rock stars.

So it’s not surprising at all that Misha Mansoor responded to a perfectly rational act by one disaffected Periphery fan who took his hate of the band’s post-first album material to the next level:

Nice job, dude! THERE ARE FREEZING CHILDREN IN ALASKA WHO TOTALLY COULD’VE USED THAT PERFECTLY GOOD HOODIE! What a waste.
