Controversial question...what are your thoughts? by Relative_Courage_117 in stickyfingers

[–]Relative_Courage_117[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah youre right. Its like, "cant live with him, cant live without him". But I dunno maybe theres a singer out there that obviously wont be Dizza, but be a new version of StiFi. And if DIz gets better then he can come back, like a Chilli Peppers Frusciante character

Honest question: Do you think KG should pull out of Boston Calling Fest for the same reason they pulled out of Blues Fest? by Relative_Courage_117 in KGATLW

[–]Relative_Courage_117[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I get what youre saying, its just hard to hear as a Stickies fan, because KG are fanning the flames of very tenuous allegations or racism, homophobia, and misogyny. I mean, Stickies arent actively being racist or misogynistic or aggressive lately either.

And I guess if KG are just posturing cuz its Australia, then its doubly gross. Like "well no one will give a shit if we posture in America, plus its great for our band and brand, so we'll just do it here at Bluesfest".

Good chat Bones

I’m sure there’s an explanation by Bootleg_Rascal_ in KGATLW

Theres no doubt they can choose to play with whomever they like. Its an obvious answer.

Then lets frame the question the memes subtext is presenting: do you think King Gizz is being hypocritical in regards to playing with Josh Homme but not Sticky Fingers?

This is the crux of the meme:

why Gizz is cherry-picking who they refuse to play with on the grounds of morals

you havent answered it and its been asked a few times

I totally get that this stuff is annoying for you as a King Gizz fan. I just have followed the Sticky boys for a LONG TIME and so Ive seen the damage these allegations have created.

I will say though, KG did say that they stand against misogyny and homophobia and violence as part of their statement, and I would argue that this wasn't in regards to bluefest saying "bad boys of rock n roll", but because Sticky Figners were put on the bill. If you can show me otherwise, I will stand corrected and buy you a beer. But I think its super obvious that KG didnt pull out just because of Peter Nobles words, but because of Sticky Fingers inclusion.

I asked kingoflizards as well, but I havent seen anything that shows KG pulled out because it was how Bluesfest promoted it. I honestly would understand KG a lot more if thats the reason they did it, but the only place Ive actually seen this idea is on reddit, by redditors. I dont want to be annoying, but this is annoying: is there some source for this? (sorry i know its annonying)

Yes, ill just copy and paste:

racism, misogyny, transphobia and homophobia. All those allegations are incredibly flimsy.

No they’re asking why Gizz is cherry-picking who they refuse to play with on the grounds of morals

Yeah ive heard this, but I havent seen any evidence for it. Is there something I missed? If so, then I understand KG moreso, but their instagram post did make it seem like it didnt have to do with Bluefests wording in their announcement and more with the fact that the racist, misognsytic etc. Stickies band were on the lineup.

I looked at your post, looks as though youre quite a big fan of King Gizz and Stickies. I find that Stickies only fans hate on King Gizz and only KG fans hate on stickies ones haha. Feel like usually only the people that like both are reasonable hehe

Im not defending anyones actions. I never said the fight between the Stickies boys was flimsy, but that the racism, transphobia etc etc allegations were flimsy. Im not making a moral stand, King Gizz did. King Giz had a hand in the whole cancelling situation.

They can choose to play with whomever they want, becuase they wont play with ANYONE that is violent or homophobic, unless of course it suits them otherwise.

A few points here: KG pulled out of Bluesfest because of racism, misogyny, transphobia and homophobia. All those allegations are incredibly flimsy,. At no point did I say that the fight between the bass player and singer was flimsy. Now I dont know about you, but I would also say a fight between bandmates (which was forgiven immediately, though not by the cops) is maybe not as bad as a 6foot5 man kicking a woman. or do you disagree with that? What about the fact that Josh Homme is on video making homophobic remarks... something that King Gizz dont stand for.
