Frank Ocean Band • Page 33

This all feels like a major PR push to save face. I don’t really buy it. Feels like a reaction to all the negativity about the performance.

 

It's just really bad PR. It doesn't explain any actual issues away

 

To go with what others have said, it feels like a very Kendall Roy response.

 

I was going to mention the Lucy Dacus couch tour and hoped in my heart someone else had brought it up haha. Perfect example of how you can still put on a good show despite injury.

Also I was not in attendance but the RATM show is also a great example. I remember a few years ago Dave Grohl injured his foot at an Foo Fighters show and came back on stage to finish the set as well. The statement just does not mean much.

 

My prediction is he drops out next week, and if he doesn't, he doubles down on this performance

 

Dude’s gonna perform in a box, calling it now

 

Tyler was nuts on that tour with his broken leg

 

Right, which is not the artist’s fault.

 

But according to the source posted earlier in the thread, "Frank also personally pulled the plug at the last second on the live stream." So it is his fault.

 

I don’t believe @TheFestiveOwl sorry. I have worked in the festival industry, it is way more complicated than that.

 

So you’re saying it WASN’T him who made the call to not broadcast his performance?

 

"Performance "

 

So everyone else’s performance was live streamed except Frank’s which was cancelled the day off but it’s not Frank’s fault?

 

But you didn't work on Coachella 2023 so you are just assuming like anyone else right now.

 

It’s not shocking but this is the only site I see people constantly make excuses for Frank and it’s weird. Not even his subreddit is defending him

 

Cause Frank is gonna read this site and become their friend!!

 

Well then let me introduce you to this post

 

Oh. If that’s the case, Frank that was a good set I could use help with rent this month.

 

Sure! But as a result of my experience with marketing festivals and running their livestreams, I have more industry knowledge than many of the folks speculating in this thread, which is what's informing my opinion.

 

so then what happened?

 

Damn. That’s crazy.

 

Wait are people actually defending this performance? Call me curious. What's the argument?

 

I think even the most generous take is that he fucked up really bad. I’m going weekend two, I’d take zero stage setup and ice skating if he just shows up and actually sings the songs.

If he’s gonna hit play and stand around I’d rather they bring in Miley.
