FYF 2014

[Jeffer]

I find myself surprisingly agreeing with Supre. Even though it's the norm, it's always a douche move when festivals don't replace dropouts (assuming there's enough time to book someone new). That FYF promised to do so only makes this more irritating.

Agreed. Seems like a lazy move on their part. I'm glad the money went to good causes, but the fact that they made a post on facebook asking who we wanted to see in place of Death Grips is what makes it a little annoying. Had they not mentioned anything about a replacement, this whole thing would've been a nice surprise and we would've all been stoked. However, because they set an expectation, I was hoping they'd follow through on that.

Regardless, we are 23 days away and I couldn't be more excited for this weekend to come.

[Drewski27]

But did they actually promise a replacement, or did they say they would just try to find one?

[getbetter]

Also how much did Death Grips cost and how much of that are they really been donating to these charities and not to Shawn ' s cocaine and morning after pill supplies.

[Drewski27]

I still think they should have used it to give out free churros.

[Widdershin]

I rather have extended time slots for the other bands and not some random replacement. When Baroness and Wild Flag dropped off two years ago, FYF's replacements (I forgot who) where nowhere near as rocking. Don't replace rock bands with synth-pop.

Someone had to say it.

Yeah, I recall them asking what bands people would like as a replacement, and that's it. I don't remember them ever explicitly saying that there would be one.

[Phantasma Del Mar]

They should have donated the money and used the extra time to recreate the Death Grips no-show extravaganza, featuring cannons that shoot out churros from the stage. Boom, everyones happy.

[Fourthisto]

Damn, a free churro sure would taste better than a skateboard...

my wildest dreams come true.

Again, I'm fine with the lineup as it is, but when a festival promoter asks the public who it would like to replace an act that has cancelled, it seems reasonable to assume it's not a rhetorical question.

[JustSteve]

Always great to come to the Coachella message board to be reminded of the things that are considered problems these days.

[WhyTheLongFace]

Some of you guys are some entitled fucks.

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

Some of you guys are some entitled fucks.

What do you think this word means?

[superfan]

So what is this supposed to mean exactly. The intention is pretty clear.

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

To me, it just means that people shouldn't be super upset about the fact that FYF "promised" anything. Thanks for pointing out that they did exactly what i said they did.

[superfan]

But you dont deny the fact their statement actually had the intention of replacing death grips, right? If they did not INTEND to book another act, why go out of the way and ask? Thats the part youre missing out on. You just think making such open ended statements, provides a get out of jail free card for whatever that ends up being decided upon. ''Well, we didnt really INTEND to do anything, so why are you so upset'' is the attitude everyone is supposed to maintain? If this was an act that was one line higher, you would be asking for more answers. But since its somebody that's for all intents and purposes ''marginal'' given their reputation, you just shrug your shoulders, yes?

[rambleonfreddy]

I could go for a churro...

[Drewski27]

churros. fuck yeah.

I don't understand what you are trying to get me to admit here. My statements that they didn't explicitly state they were going to replace them or that they made a promise stand. That's all I said. I didn't express any opinions either for or against FYF Presents regarding this matter.

[TallGuyCM]

Maybe they tried to find a replacement but couldn't find anyone they deemed worthwhile? Who gives a fuck? Longer set times, even if only by a few minutes, is a much better option than throwing in someone like Touche Amore or Title Fight (*again*) just to make people feel like they're getting their money's worth.

BAGGED WHISKEY

[Mr. Dylanja]

NOW WE'RE TALKIN'!

Thank you. Jesus fucking christ people.

Personally, I love both of those bands, but I agree with what you're saying.

[Phantasma Del Mar]

Touche Amore is great, Title Fight is great, FYF is great, Doctors Without Borders is great, longer set times are great, bagged whiskey is great, churros are great, ITS ALL GOOD PEOPLE.

[getbetter]

I hope my favorite mediocre pizza, Spicy Pie doesn't cancel and fyf asks what kind of pizzas do I like ? But then there is no pizza.... Now that would make me sad

Yeah, cause Dillinger, United Nations of DFA 1979 wouldnt be worthwhile for the festival, yes?
