New Found Glory drop out of Leeds and Reading

[Outsider]

Fucking Arseholes have done what Yellowcard did and dropped out to appear at the MTV Music Awards. How fucking punk is that? :mad:

No news on who will replace them yet. Will they even find anyone with it being so close to the festivals?

[Rob]

Thats why they are sh</>it. Oh and their stupid high pitch singing.

[road doggy dogg]

New Found Glory are the man

However, that does suck. :(

[El Capitano Gatisto]

They are doing everyone a favour.

A band that drops a gig to go to an awards ceremony seriously needs to consider why it is a band at all, and their fans would need to re-consider ever spending money on a ticket for one of their shows again.

That's pathetic. Worse maybe than Missy Elliott cancelling a gig in Ireland because she couldn't hire enough buses for her entourage.

[Penner]

they were at warped tour :meh:

[Penner]

sucks though

[deathtrap]

I'd say that was a good thing . Same for Yellowcard

[The Destroyer]

Twattish thing to do, really.

[MoRcHeEbA]

I read somewhere they pulled out because they have a new member in the band and they want to practice as much as possible before they tour for the summer.

[thecc]

man i was hoping this would say chad left to rejoin shai hulud.

Nope, they pulled out for the VMA's. They're coming back for a show on Tuesday.

[packt up]

What a load of shit.

I don't like the band but if i was a fan I'd be pissed.

[Danny Electric]

man i was hoping this would say chad left to rejoin shai hulud.

Shai Hulud have split up.

[thecc]

Shai Hulud have split up.geert just left and they changed their name to the warmth of red blood.

[Danny Electric]

geert just left and they changed their name to the warmth of red blood.

God damn media people lying to me. I wanted to see them live but had a law exam the same day and couldn't get to London.

Bollocks. They have a responsibility to the people who buy tickets to go see them.

Going on MTV merely shows they are more interested in mass media then entertaining a crowd at a real, live show.

i.e. they aren't interested in the music or their fans, they want the cash.

It's called selling out. A lot of bands get wrongly accused of it, but backing out of a gig you committed to do to go on MTV is the definition of selling out your fans.

Thats what I thought. And to think these are bands I've defended in the past :mad:

God damn media people lying to me. I wanted to see them live but had a law exam the same day and couldn't get to London.I saw their last show with geert and it was just amazing.

[Requiem]

This topic should have said "New Found Glory drop off the face of the earth."

[road doggy dogg]

Actually it shouldn't, 'cause that would be quite false. See, they cancelled their shows so they could appear at the MTV Music Awards. Quite a bit different.

[Requiem]

I can hope it was truth though.

Sorry, but I really can't stand the band... Actually, I can't stand the singer. The 'sound' is fine..

[MoRcHeEbA]

if it makes you all feel better they dropped out only to play the pre-show... That really shouldn't make you feel better but it's kinda funny. NFG suck live anyways I've seen them three times in the last two years. they've always just been meh live

They're fucking shite when they're played on the TV or radio, so why did it take you 3 shows to realise they would be terrible live too?

New Found Glory are absolute toss. Even by the standards of the shit bands most of you here listen to.

[road doggy dogg]

No, compared to the other bands in the same genre, they're still kinda the man

[El Capitano Gatisto]

They're shit, and obviously don't give a fuck about people who buy tickets to see them.

You'd think such a shit band would try to keep fans, rather than alienate them.

[deathtrap]

Compared to Yellowcard they're the man, but everyone else they're pretty poor
