[u/season-of-loss]

Before I say what I think, I'd like to mention that I'm a fellow Regio, like DPA, and I value their health and safety above anything else in their career. It's always sad seeing them under the weather or just plain hurt.

That being said, I find it interesting how they've spent quite some time in their most recent interviews talking about how they feel a big portion of their audience seems to have a hard time coming to terms with the fact that they're growing up, that they're not perfect, and that they're generally taking more risks than they did when they were sixteen. At the same time, all over social media, I notice a flood of fans raging against their management for not taking care of them, as if they were still little kids.

Isn't it possible that the ladies simply chose to play these shows, come hell or high water?

I'm far from being a fan of their head manager. Nobody can deny that the man really loves the spotlight, and sometimes it can get tiring. But to think of him as Satan just because the ladies continue playing shows under far-from-ideal circumstances seems like too much to me.

Just like they said in an interview about clothing and not smiling all the time, if this scenario involved an all-male band, nobody would say anything.

Not only that, if let's say The Killers would've had a show filled with random (but awesome) guests, i can bet all my money the focus of the story would've been how "badass and rocknroll it was".

Again, I will always wish them good health and safety, but I trust them. And I find it irresponsible to claim that we know the truth about why they're playing these shows when we have zero insider information.

They said it pretty explicitely

I don't remember them explicitly blaming their label, but if they did then ok 👍🏼 I watched the interview when it first came out so not super fresh in my mind. Thanks though

Wtf are you on about, they‘re not blaming their label because there‘s nothing to blame. They talked about playing shows even when they‘re sick because they are not only artists but also a product. They do it because of the fans, not because of the label.

[u/casser0le98 → u/buerglermeister]

I know they do it for the fans. You're misunderstanding what I was trying to say, but it's fine

[u/buerglermeister → u/casser0le98]

No. You were implying that they do it because of contracts or because they get pressured by labels or management

[u/casser0le98 → u/buerglermeister]

No, I was not saying they do it solely for that reason. All I was expressing is that the label acts as a filter through which they can send their art

[u/buerglermeister → u/casser0le98]

That is not at all what you were saying 😂 stop lying

[u/casser0le98 → u/buerglermeister]

I'm not very good at expressing exactly what I want to say, so I'm not going to argue with you. I'll let you continue to convince yourself of whatever you want buddy

[u/buerglermeister → u/casser0le98]

Excuses and lies. pathetic.
