How many tours are moose blood going to be dropped from before they take the hint

 

perhaps not many more. They haven't actually been dropped from a tour before, have they? And this isn't just any tour. This is a tour of people who have the same agent and management. So their own people dropped them. Scathing.

The band and their label maintain they did nothing wrong.

Good for Good Charlotte.

 

movements announced a (AUS?) tour with them and it was cancelled pretty much immediately

 

Movements dropped the tour after fan backlash.

Not sure if Moose Blood actually did the dates or not.

 

truuuuuu forgot that

 

it’s wild moose blood still try to continue on this way. they aren’t some legendary iconic band in the scene. they’ve got three albums and have been around for what, not even 10 years? they aren’t important to the conversation at large and the fact they’re trying to keep doing this shows a level of self importance that’s out of touch with reality. being arrogant and sticking by your abusive band mates is more important than doing the right thing and perhaps salvaging the opportunity for a music career for the rest of the band. because moose blood is going down one way or another and it’s gonna be painful for them. as it should be

 

first I've heard of this

 

I don't really understand it either. They can't even possibly be making that much money off of Moose Blood as a band, can they? And there's no way they make Hopeless that much cash? Why in the world have they not just gone away.

 

Moose Blood are still VERY big here in the UK.

They got the biggest crowd at Slam Dunk outside of Jimmy Eat World, Taking Back Sunday and, funnily enough, Good Charlotte.

They are also still very close with many of our bands, and they're all still friends, I know this personally. So it's a double edged thing of they still sell out big venues and make a ton of money on UK tours, and most bands still want to tour with them if they can get away with it.

 

I heard their tour over here this year sold like shit but idk how accurate that is

EDIT: Here meaning the US

 

I've never heard of Moose Blood outside of this board.

 

How in the world are Moose Blood "very" big? Their album sold less than 4k copies when it was released.

 

It's relative to the scene of course, and album sales aren't exactly reflective of anything these days?

I'm not claiming they are Slayer. But they get very regular daytime Radio 1 play, massive crowds, sell out tours for 3-4k venues every tour. That's pretty big for an emo band?

 

I believe you are correct. At least it seemed the Portland show did’t sell well.

 

Saying the band is "VERY big" is not a relative statement. And of course album sales are reflective ... to start with ... how many people buy their shitty albums. Answer: not many.

 

Okay it was a poor choice of words, but my point remains, they're pretty big in the scene here still.

I'm not defending him, I'm just saying I can't see them breaking up yet.

 

I refuse to call a band that can't sell 5k copies of their third album "big."

 

This is a weird fight to take with me but sure. Let's leave this oddly pedantic conversation be?

 

You said it, I asked for any evidence at all that the band is "VERY big."

But, fine, I'll leave you to go fake being another band member I guess.

 

Fake being a band member? Did you read what was spoken about in the thread. I explained that I used a VPN and so that isn't even my IP. I used the Opera VPN.

 

It's not just an IP address I track. Nice try.

 

It genuinely wasn't me so you are CLEARLY bullshitting. I don't know what you are claiming but I actually didn't do it. I liked the people in that thread, I wasn't going to make some shitty account bullying someone I actually speak to OUTSIDE of this website.

 

what in the hell is going on in this thread

 

I try to at least somewhat give guys the benefit of the doubt until evidence proves otherwise. For a one-time offense, you might be able to say he thought she was older. But there are way, way too many underage girls telling the same story with evidence. So gross. I don't understand (or want to understand) how a 35-year-old man would think it's appropriate to flirt and ask for pics of 16-year-old girls.

There are plenty of us on here that got your reference. Great show. I'm still in love with Melissa Joan Hart, and I'll defend Drive Me Crazy as a "pretty good" (not great) movie until I'm blue in the face.

EDIT: Oh, and fuck this guy. Seriously.
