het posted:No, I don't think that's what's happening here. I mean, I don't care particularly about Trent Reznor, but that seems like a pretty sensible reaction to seeing your opening band (that has a history of being flaky) break up just a few weeks before the tour. The most sensible reaction would probably be "Best luck to Death Grips, sorry for the inconvenience to those of you who have bought tickets, we'll have a replacement soon." Band breakups can happen for a million different reasons, and sometimes they can't wait till a tour is over or whatever. We have no idea if "we hit our peak creatively" is the truth or just something they're saying because they don't want to broadcast private drama. Insulting a band for breaking up is kicking them while they're down. Also, like Intel&Sebastian said, these are the guys who just plain didn't show up to a show once, and put their entire album on the internet for free without their label's permission. It should be pretty clear by now that DG doesn't really enjoy playing by the industry's "rules," for better or for worse.

I mean maybe that cuts it when you're playing in a garage and your biggest fans are your friends but there is professionalism amongst musicians. Arbitrarily bailing on tour after tour isn't sticking it to the man, it's just being an rear end in a top hat. Stop booking tours if you're going to drop out a few weeks before they start. I think they do it consciously. I still say they put out a new album out of nowhere next year.

I don't know how any intelligent being could see this breakup as anything other than a standard progression of the Death Grips experiment. Bullshit fans get butthurt. True fans stay legend. gently caress your idol, suck my dick.

I'm shocked but I kind of expected this. I never saw Death Grips lasting very long, in fact I was surprised when they released Government Plates. Like every morning for the last couple years I'd wake up and say to myself, "Death Grips could break up today." Or die of meth overdose.

My opinions are based on being someone who has worked in music (independently and otherwise) for 15 years.
