Yes, but even that was said in the context of a perception that because he was going to do this tour until the RA opportunity came about, he was overstating how much his child really did bear on his decision. of course there’s more nuance to it and I’m not going to go back to see if the same person has refined that thought, but they weren’t saying “a child isn’t an excuse,” they were saying “he’s misrepresenting the role of the child in the decision
Yeah, I think it wasn’t a classy move to leak the news on Twitter. Buddy should have immediately contacted them (if he didn’t right off the bat) but regardless - it’s not the best look. I get they’re (rightfully) pissed/bummed but still..
What's the right way to react when the first real money you were going to make after a two-year pandemic got taken away a month before it was supposed to start trickling in?
Like I get it, it fucking sucks. BUT at the same time the dude from counterparts is coming off like a baby.
I have no issue with how the other bands acted. They are allowed to be upset. I don’t think that’s the point here. This is a gray area situations where you can see both sides.. these things happen, time to move on.
So the people who are now fucked – and are likely far less well-off than the members of Senses Fail – should just ... roll over and be quiet when they feel that were done dirty by the way this went down? Not everyone has a Rise Against golden parachute. No matter what side of Senses Fail's you take, I just can't fathom thinking the support bands did ANYTHING wrong here.
I get both side but I do lean towards Senses fail screwing this up. Looking at that tweet he saw an opportunity to stay with his new kid and do another tour near the birth and that is fine but he also was fully aware that this choice would really screw over the other bands attached.
Yeah the reaction and hate to this is, whilst completely understandable, a bit much tbh? Buddy is one of the most genuine people in this "scene" and if you watch any of his IG vids/posts with his daugher, you know that he really cares for his family and values being a dad.
I don't know about that. A lot of people these days, for one reason or another, feel entitled or like they are owed something? Hate to break it you, no one owes you anything :(
