I'd be pissed if I paid to see them and they pulled that. Why book the show if you have no intention of playing it?

Like, I could MAYBE understand this if the email was real from a previously canceled show and they did this ONCE to proove a point that no music is worth that (makes me think of Pink Floyd's first inspiration for The Wall with the fan enjoying being spat upon) but for the love of god don't continually fuck over your fans. I wonder how much, if any, of this falls on Zack Hill and how much falls on MC Ride.

This can't be the whole story. I'm not defending the action, but there has got to be more to this.

I fucking love it. The whole fake show tableau... It's totally dick, but I think it's really clever and exhibits the most perverse sense of artistic integrity. Reminds me of the Yo La Tengo tour with the big wheel, and how one night a bunch of people ended up watching YLT perform a reader's theater version of an old Seinfeld episode.
I can explain it better and at greater length, but I'll save the good stuff until after someone calls bullshit on me.

Oddly enough, I'm with HG on this one. The whole thing kinda reminds me of The Kinfe's whole We're-just-gonna-play-our-CD-through-the-PA-and-do-interpretive-danc becaus- you-guys-are-idiots-and-you-shouldn't-take-things-so-seriously thing they were doing earlier this year. I would still be pissed if I had bought a ticket to the show, but I didn't, so I can kinda see where they were going with it.

I'm confused as to why people are so surprised/offended by this. They leaked their album with the title scrawled along ZH's dick for fucks sake.

I personally don't care at all, it's just some weird guys doing weird stuff as far as I'm concerned. I can see why some people might be upset, the stuff they've done in the past (like leaking their own album) didn't openly screw over the people who buy their concert tickets and whatnot. But then again, if you're leaking your own album, you probably don't give a shit about a lot of other things too, so people shouldn't be super surprised. In any case, the whole story is very interesting to read about!

I think it is hilarious that Death Grips get a pass for bitching out on shows that people paid money for yet The Mars Volta gets shit for showing up and being too rowdy.

Uhh... So Lady Gags just posted this... vimeo.com/m/71919803 Warning: Naked Gaga. It's hilarious that someone so rich and famous still makes weird shit like this.

That's a 1000x better than Death Grips' avant-garde shit in my opinion, and Lady Gaga's bangin' body has nothing to do with this.

Lady Gaga looks like a badly-sewn rag doll.

If they were refunding people's money, then whatever, they're just artsy dicks. But now they are dicks who are allowing their own fans to piss away their hard-earned cash on a publicity stunt. No respect.

Death Grips remain a pathetic attempt to remain newsworthy, and most of you have pubic hair and dick ink so wrapped around your tonsils that you don't care.

If I don't want a communicable disease then I won't touch MC Ride or his mic. Having a cymbal hurled at you is not a choice.
