Zoo Music Girl Posted September 6, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2022 2 minutes ago, zzzfest said: Agreed. In fact, that’s just about what I thought. However, Pitchfork could have issued the information some time after Arcade Fire released WE and announced the tour, which was not their “inactive” period, not just three days before the tour opening. But you still wouldn't have got to see Feist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alternate timeline for you, Win could have just not been a wrong un and then pitchfork wouldn't have anything to report! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's a coincidence but also don't think this is some character assassination piece like you're reckoning it is. Can you explain why you're blaming a media outlet instead of an alleged abuser? Not because they criticized Win Butler but because they did it at the ruthless timing.

I'm sad you can't see the situation for what it is and that you blame an outlet for bringing this to light at a time that inconveniences you. So self entitled.

No. But I would have been more prepared for the cancellation had it been announced way before the tour started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possible. Who knows. Then again, did Pitchfork get the information and then the consent to publish it from the victims, say, a week before? The chance is slim if any.

Is it a pure coincidence? I don’t think so. I expect they would publish it as soon as they possibly could. Following the article’s completion it would need to be vetted by lawyers which would take considerable time. The danger of them being scooped by another publication would be too big to just sit on the article when it’s ready to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win’s behaviour deprived you of the chance to see her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

efcfanwirral Posted September 8, 2022 Report Share Posted September 8, 2022 (edited) Whatever has been going on around this specific band, I absolutely back any artist that continued their shows tonight and didn't cancel them on an hour's notice. How many people will have already travelled, booked hotels etc? Loads will lose hundreds of pounds over the next week on such things due to pretty much all events getting cancelled, and they won't be getting that money back, not to mention the lost wages for workers around these events, but at least they will know beforehand. But kneejerk cancelling when people are practically already there would be ridiculous Edited September 8, 2022 by efcfanwirral Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snoochie1981 Posted September 8, 2022 Report Share Posted September 8, 2022 Tonight’s gig was certainly one of the oddest I have experienced but let’s be clear, the average Arcade Fire fan still adore them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabbit Hole to me felt like a real turning point. Wasn't the best of the four times I've seen them (suspect they'd never top that Castlefield gig to me anyway) but was still a bloody good show. Needed more Power Out tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to grow thick skin to survive in an internet social. That being said, why respond at this timing? After almost two days since my post? And amidst the news of THE PASSING?

Did you learn how to pick an awkward timing from Pitchfork? Sorry. I didn’t realise that, a) there is a time limit of when I am allowed to respond to other posts. b) I’m not supposed to post in the aftermath of a monarch dying. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
