* DeathByMusicVideo: In the music video for "Greek Tragedy", the band is murdered one at a time by [[{{Yandere}} an obsessed fangirl]] who spent a lot of time stalking them. Two of the band members suffer a case of SlashedThroat while the third is electrocuted in his bathtub. The fangirl later dresses and strings up the bodies in a warehouse to make it seem like they're holding a private concert for her.
