Imagine that you paid a band for entertainment and they never fulfilled it, trash-talking you all the while and being unclear and obtuse about what you were actually getting out of that agreement. Because that is exactly what happened between DG and their record label. Also their fans too I guess, but the label had the sense to at least not smash all their poo poo.

Long John Silvers posted:It's pretty low to gently caress your fans over Yeah and it's low to gently caress over the people you're working for, too. I'm not saying that record labels are great but Death Grips signed a contract with them and then wound up not even giving them their album so they basically straight-up lied, exactly what they did to their fans. It's not like Death Grips "did the right thing" not showing up or whatever, it's still a total dick move, but there's basically no way to logically defend the actions against their record label and then say that they're huge jerks for doing this.

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.

Henchman of Santa posted:Yeah skipping tours that people paid good money for with two weeks' notice is hilarious, as is not showing up to festivals you were booked for. I'm sorry for you and I know you're upset but we are talking about the band that signed to a record label before leaking their own album, and then gave a "concert" that consisted of a suicide note and a toy drumset. It's like, have you ever heard that story about the scorpion and the frog?
