I have soft spot for rampant narcissism, especially in a case like this where a band so adamantly works hard against peoples' expectations only to lessen their popularity. It's a psychotic thing to do and it fits Death Grips. This is the same group with lyrics like this:

quote:

You live in hiding
You're climbing the walls no privacy
I'm trying to survive but I'm dying die with me
Blow out the lights take your life
Ride the falling sky with me
Falling inside of me
Its all suicide to me
World of dogs

This song is more dynamic than their usual stuff, kind of wanders through four different sounds. Definitely ready for more!

He sounds like he feels stupid for booking them and getting his hopes up. I don't see how that's unfair. Consider what it means for him, he has to get another band on board for a huge tour, or adjust what he does with his set.

This has to be a hard time to book with all the festivals going on and such short notice. I love death grips but I'm a little tired of them bailing on the live shows.

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.

Nah gently caress that. 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.

EDIT: here's a video of all the fucks they give https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MHhLDCJ57E

Professionalism is the reason music nowadays is so often passionless and boring. "Professional Musician" is an oxymoron, as far as I'm concerned.

1 there's always been passionless, boring music

2 I don't know what kind of music you listen to but there's a difference between having a sterile sound (which is what I'm assuming you meant) and being unreliable.

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

I don't think anyone cares to have this discussion. If you're still burned about them not showing up to your show (or you weren't even going to one of those and you're just upset for other people's sake) then it may be high-time to stop caring.

I 1000% never gave a gently caress on the first day

PSS PSS is such a silly song but I can't stop twerking dancing along with it.

The lyrics to PSS PSS read like a fyad post

[Verse 1]
I saw you doing peace signs with the F.B.I
Might've tried that in the future before so don't lie
All dead dogs go to heaven cause dumb bitches let them in
They're just racist and they wanna gently caress
God chills out cause she doesn't touch
This is where I don't come in
This is where I have been maybe
Have a sad cum, baby

[Hook]
I gently caress it out and I dip-dip-dip
Drop you like asses and you trip-trip-trip
I can't stop it when I drip-drip-drip
You can't stop it when you drip-drip-drip
I piss on your face like I'm PSS-PSS-PSS
You lick up the place like you're PSS-PSS-PSS
We pick up the pace like we're PSS-PSS-PSS
I'm the gently caress you're chasing like PSS-PSS, PSS-PSS, PSS-PSS

[Verse 2]
My poo poo's been retarded since beginning of time
I'm up in your party like sickest one line
I'm the only thing ever on my mind
You're one of those things I never rewind
I'm coming out your pocket like carving pools
With my jewels
I'm throwing heebie jeebies like iTunes
The cars that go boom
These are my gold bars melted on spoons
My junk hits like martial law
You nod like true

[Hook]

[Bridge]
If I were her and she was him we would go and gently caress ourselves again and again
Life is very dangerous and it wants to rearrange us like your friends, like the end
Show me into Target and I'll show you how I bought it with my mind in my mind
Touch it out in the parking lot, gently caress me while the whole world watch us waste our time

Dunno. PDX show was nearly off the rails. Some of the more sensitive people left with a cadaverous look in their eyes.

Did you read the WW review of the show? He was basically like "it was really good, but... What's the point of being at 11 the whole time? Isn't it better when you build up to it?" lol OK dad
