rip

FUCK MY LIFE

honestly though. they could have at least finished out their scheduled dates. there's no need to just cancel everything

>>>>>to our truest fans, please stay noided.

sweet

didn't see that coming

didnt add any bias to this as hard as it was but i hope this is actually happening and not some bullshit publicity stunt

great news

Damn. why?!

cool

at least they're stopping at a high note

At least they're releasing the other half of that album later this year. Will be looking forward to hearing that.

Is a shame, their stuff was kinda interesting

still think it's another hoax

I'm not even a fan and I think this is weeners, if it is true.

whoa

band seems kind of pretentious with a message like that IMO

/mu/'s cutting themselves to sleep

"we are now at our best and so Death Grips is over"

Sound logic there.

rip anthony fantano

"band seems kind of pretentious with a message like that IMO"

oh my god shut up

RIP death grips thread has been stickied on /mu/ lmao

staying legend

If it does turn out to be another stunt, it's definitely a shitty one.
It's whatever though. Their catalogue is solid enough.

Yeah as much as this news sucks, it'd be pretty lame if this ends up being a hoax

good news day

rip :[

Lol /mu/, that website is for twats and noisy hipsters with an IQ below 70

rip. that fucking sucks.

R.I.P. Dead Grips.

Guess I'll go and have a sad cum now.

"POWERS THAT B WILL BE PANNED

FANTANO ON SUICIDE WATCH

IT'S OVER"

hahahahah

good

I'm glad it's dead

But why

they're kinda shitty as a band and its super shitty to just say fuck it to the tour dates. shows how much they care about the truest fans. just cashin out...

At least they managed to release some great albums in the short time they were together. RIP

well, part of what you said is accurate, coma

R.I.P. Gripsz

so....who's the new opener for the NIN/Soundgarden tour?

someone who's actually good i hope

It's a hoax

music is dead

in typical death grips fashion

My next step will be to find out what Zach Hill's next project will be.

It's all ogre now.

death gRIPs hahHA

I think that all those who bought tickets for the SG/NIN tour will show up and Death Grips will still be there tbh

i fuckin hope so i love SG but i wanted to see all the middle-aged white people get freaked out by death grips

haha me too

Best news in a while, I hate these assholes

i came for the malleus tears

i hear that brendan

Good to hear, everything after the money store was shitty pitchfork rap.

good riddance

rip

if only it was btbam

wolfe going all out today

Btbam is still making faux prog? Jesus.

if only it was btbam [2]

no feels about this

if only it was btbam [3]

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

why do people care about bands they don't like

well government plates was one of the worst things i heard last year but their new one is a bit of an improvement

theyre just one of those bands i would never willingly listen to

@fish.: What do you mean? This is a joyous occasion!

fish this is sputnik. people only care about bands they dont like

that doesn't answer my q

cuz they don't have anything better to do with their time

question answered

that's p sad tbh

again, its sputnik

why are people saying that if it's a hoax, that'd be shitty? that'd be fucking cool and totally up their alley. plus more music

I feel like there's a very good chance it's a hoax given their history

that still doesn't make it ok

don't perpetuate it

They have made some of the worst shit I've had the misfortune of hearing, so this is kind of cool news

This thread is going to go through the same three stages over and over again.

Goodnight, sweet prince. They had a sick run, at least.

pretentious tbh imo

yeah so this proves the illuminati are secretly running the world bank's chemtrails department.

#thereisagod

why do people care about bands they don't like [2]

honestly how boring of a person do u have to be

"band seems kind of pretentious with a message like that IMO"

oh my god shut up

yeah they're one of the most pretentious bands ever tbh

that's coming from someone who likes them a lot too so

"Death Grips was and always has been a conceptual art exhibition anchored by sound and vision."

yeah lol

I can hear Anthony Fantano's heart breaking from here

Is it the fact that they disregard if people think negatively of them? Does that make them pretentious? That would make every band with a sizable fan base and any amount of success pretentious.

have a strong feeling that this "disbandment" won't last.

Lol yes, the best thing coming out of this is Fantano's imminent depression.

no they're pretentious because

In an interview with Spin Magazine, Burnett responded to the interest by saying, "If you look at that and all you see is a dick, I don't really have anything to say, pretty much. I looked at it and said, 'This is a great photo, and I'd love for this to be the album cover.'" Hill further explained, "It was difficult to do, honestly, in general, it was very difficult. It's difficult even telling people that's the source of it; it feels sacrificial in a sense. That idea existed long before, by the way. This is going to sound funny to other people, but we saw it as tribal, as spiritual, as primal. Also, it comes from a place of being a band that is perceived as...such an aggressive, male-based, by some, misogynistic-seeming band... It's a display of embracing homosexuality, not that either of us are homosexual. Am I making sense? People are still going to think that it's macho, but that's not the source of where it comes from."[24] In a separate interview with Pitchfork, Hill expounded, "It's also a spiritual thing; it's fearlessness...it represents pushing past everything that makes people slaves without even knowing it."[25]

He was explaining his artistic vision, but he happens to be bad with words. He's a drummer. I won't hold it against him. I'm still not getting an overly pretentious vibe.

Maybe he didn't explain it too well, but it's still better than just putting a dick on the cover for admitted shock value

they also randomly decide to cancel shows without telling anyone and just play the money store over loud speakers in the venue until everyone realizes they're not coming and leave as a contribution to their artistic vision

also they said "Death Grips was and always has been a conceptual art exhibition anchored by sound and vision. above and beyond a "band"" word for word in their letter

Oh yeah they're pretentious as hell but that doesn't keep me from enjoying their music

tbqh that sounds like some Grade A trolling

This ruined my morning.

This ruined my morning.

stay legume

i like how i made some nerd rage over calling it as i see it.

i mean how could they NOT be taken as pretentious

damn this really sucks hard, but they were starting to get a bit stale I dunno how much longer they could have gone but it still feels premature.

I don't know who's raging. I don't really care what anyone calls them, but I feel like pretentious is a mislabel. Assholes, yeah. Not necessarily pretentious though.

news

pretentious music rules

Not too broken up about this. Glad I at least got to see them before it ended.

Yeah, ditto.

Ah, the dreaded quote box!!

"i came for the malleus tears"

lol

be funny if a hoax but if not danggggggg

"we are now at our best and so Death Grips is over"

if all artists went by that mentality, we'd probably have like a third of the music world still going.

I had just really started listening to Death Grips. I'm really having trouble believing this.

dear god I hope they're just messing with people. this could be the worst news.

The reason why is absolute bullshit. R.I.p.

doubt it.

good riddance (time of your life)

Kind of a jerk move if it's true. There's still a whole tour.

:'(

I'm going to have a sad cum today, out of respect.
"It seems to, you lived your life, like a candle in the wind"

Maybe Death Grips are Atreyu in disguise.

Better to burn out bright than to slowly fade away.

Lol at Reznor's response.

Kind of like the reason Isis gave for splitting up just much more pretentious

I stay noided

Just as I finally believe there can never be a God...

Better to burn out bright than to slowly fade away.

if only it was btbam

i came for the malleus tears

good

these guys are fucking retarded

they made one good album and a bunch of crap

They're gonna reform as Life Releases.

Alternate title: "Suburban white ex-OFWGKTA fanboys cry out in anguish across America".

Thank god

"They're gonna reform as Life Releases"


goat comment

dunno this band, but what a bunch disrespectful sons-a-bitches.

oh yeah let's cancel every show we have, our fans will love it!!

good news

great. less shit music in the world now

agreed

"it is. i'm betting the venues they had booked were well informed before hand. it's not like they just woke up this morning and we're like "oh ok, we're done""

considering the shit they've pulled in the past, I don't think keeping people up to date with whatever the hell is happening in their mind is a priority

They already fucked with an international record company, I doubt they'd be afraid of pulling more random shit on some venues

it is. i'm betting the venues they had booked were well informed before hand. it's not like they just woke up this morning and we're like "oh ok, we're done

LOLOLOLOLOLOL

rip industrial hop

maybe music that is actually decent will raise from the band's ashes

probably not though

"we are out our best..."

lol fuck off

"... so it's time to quit"

lol oh ok

and always has been a conceptual art exhibition anchored by sound and vision.
above and beyond a "band".

band that makes shitty music is more than a band. ok then

we are not just a band we are beyond that we are a meme

5edgy

haqhahahaha good fucking riddance

thank god, band is so over rated

lmao you people are fucked

he said as he wiped tears

How much do you want to bet they troll us with the second part of The Powers That B. I would die
laughing if it was just 50 minutes of static.

this is hilarious actually

"he said as he wiped tears"

whatever helps you sleep at night

lol it's a joke dude chill

i cant chill im far too riled up

you should see me right now bro

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

explains why all the 13 year olds here eat it up right before they go to church and cheer in the Republican section

I'd just like to take a moment to point out that I enjoy this band. Would anyone like to counter that opinion? We should totally do this forever.

Death Grips cancel tour with landing on moon imminent

we are now at our Death Grips and so Death Grips is over. we have officially Death Gripped. all
currently scheduled live Death Grips are Death Gripped. our upcoming double Death Grip "the powers that
b" will still be delivered worldgrip later this Death Grip via Harvest/Death Grips Death Grips. Death
Grips was and always has been a Death Grip anchored by Death and Grips above and beyond a "Death Grip".
to our truest Death Grips, please stay Death Grips.

Moar liek death gripes itt

what the chevelle

Sweet

I got NLDW for $20 at Newbury Comics in MA. Highly recommend.

the powers that be - part II:

It's gonna be called Jenny Death

Out of respect for their "truest" fans, they have played their final tour dates. At the same time though, would like to see more bands call it quits, or at least take extended breaks when they exhaust their artistic fuel, rather than putter languidly along.

Some guest this is absolutely nothing like rage against the machine. Clearly you haven't listened

He doesn't actually listen to anything.

"they have played their final tour dates"

well thats certainly false. the Toronto one was def cancelled

what the fuck, i was on holiday when this happened and only found out on the fb page now. this sucks

what fool dug out this corpse

"how mad are u for real tho"
