Lenny Kravitz cancelled - anyone know why?
| Message Board > General Chitchat > Lenny Kravitz cancelled - anyone know why? |
| Inhalien User Info... | They're saying its cancelled, which is too bad - Thornley rocks. http://www.theq.fm/?q=concerts - Wed, 5 Nov 2008 9:50am Edited: Wed, 5 Nov 2008 9:51am | ||
| Tyler User Info... | he's sick and has bad throat problems, he can hardly speak, let alone sing let it be known that I didn't actually search for this or have tickets! I just...happened...to be in someone's car this morning... who was listening to the Q. just sayin' - Wed, 5 Nov 2008 10:01am Edited: Wed, 5 Nov 2008 10:02am | ||
| Jl User Info... | "let it be known that I didn't actually search for this or have tickets!" why would that matter? - Wed, 5 Nov 2008 11:34am | ||
| Tyler User Info... | let's just say that mr. kravitz and I have very different views on music and what it should accomplish. also, I know a band that was in a van that flipped 5 times down a bank, resulting in hospitalization and beaten up limbs, yet they hopped back on the tour a few days after the incident. just throwing that out there. - Wed, 5 Nov 2008 11:52am | ||
| JDL User Info... | "let's just say that mr. kravitz and I have very different views on music and what it should accomplish." You have to take into account that these musicians make a shit load more than any local or touring semi-pro/pro group would make doing a circut of bar shows. So yes, I think that he is warranted/allowed to save his voice. If it were me and I were playing a local show, making ends meat; then id probably feel pressured into playing the show and possibly sacrificing my voice to do it. But if I were making money, hand over fist in this case, I would not sacrifice my voice for any show. Its his money maker; can you blame him? Dont get me wrong, I am not a huge fan of Kravitz(aside from his really old stuff); but I do draw a line when people think they're(high paid musicians) simply "bitching out" of a gig. - Wed, 5 Nov 2008 12:15pm | ||
| Tyler User Info... | sure, he's allowed to do whatever he wants. it's just not the kind of thing I'm into, that's all. he makes a ton of money and his choices have worked well for him, especially if he's interested in money. - Wed, 5 Nov 2008 12:25pm | ||
| bbjones User Info... | Ahh... the familiar cry of the poor indie artist. - Wed, 5 Nov 2008 12:45pm | ||
| ROSS B AY User Info... | yup. - Wed, 5 Nov 2008 1:34pm | ||
| Sedlec User Info... | i read he has severe throat problems... sure maybe if he played he'd be a trooper, but he would sound like crap and could harm his voice even more. agreed with JDL - Wed, 5 Nov 2008 1:44pm | ||
| Flatulenze User Info... | "Ahh... the familiar cry of the poor indie artist" yup. Just like the shitty bands that swear that the music they play is the good stuff. If Tyler could contribute .0000001% of what LK has then maybe he would have a different view. Until then we have to deal with shitty musicians and their negative attitudes towards skilled and talented ones. It's been happening ever since Elvis INVENTED music. - Wed, 5 Nov 2008 1:50pm Edited: Wed, 5 Nov 2008 1:51pm | ||
| trevor corey User Info... | Who cares about kravitz. I want to know if Thornley is still coming to play Legends perhaps? - Wed, 5 Nov 2008 1:53pm | ||
| Tyler User Info... | dug myself into a hole. dammit. what's shitty to you isn't shitty to me, and vice-versa. there is no standard way of grading subjective ideas like "good music" or "bad music." if you were to use commercial success, I listen to some good music and a lot of bad music. and contribution? one could argue that a lot of "unknowns" have contributed way more than lenny kravitz has. maybe not in terms of record sales, but more in terms of stylistic changes and inspiring major label artists. but you're right. I don't really contribute anything. AMERICAN WOMANNNNNNNNNNNNN - Wed, 5 Nov 2008 2:14pm Edited: Wed, 5 Nov 2008 2:23pm | ||
| Jl User Info... | I wasn't saying that your opinion of Lenny Kravitz's music is wrong; so much as comparing him to a band that has nothing to lose if they were to play a show and be considered a "trooper". That's what i have a problem with. He stands to lose everything if he loses his voice; what do you lose if you play a show and sacrifice your voice? That 1 in a million chance that a rep from a major label comes to the show and signs you for millions of dollars? That would be a pipe-dream at best. Comparing commercially successful artists to indie artists is like comparing celery to oranges. Again, its not a matter of your taste in music... i could care less what you think of Lenny Kravitz's music. and btw, tyler, your original post came off like some highschool kid trying to fit in and making sure the cool crowd didn't think you listend to "bad music". vvvvvvvvv "let it be known that I didn't actually search for this or have tickets!" again, what does this have to do with anything? lol. - Wed, 5 Nov 2008 2:40pm | ||
| Tyler User Info... | okay he made a good choice! it sucks that he let his fans down and such though. it's one or the other. I mentioned a band that chose the fans over their own recovery. dumb? maybe. yeah, I see how saying that could come across that way. I was clearing up the fact that I'm not a fan. because I'm not. was it unnecessary? maybe. it might also save the effort of explanation down the road when board members go "hey tyler! how bummed are you about that concert being cancelled, huh? man, what a tragedy!" - Wed, 5 Nov 2008 2:47pm | ||
| Jl User Info... | "I mentioned a band that chose the fans over their own recovery. dumb? maybe." not dumb in anyway... its just different when you have something to lose; and that's what i was trying to say in shorter words. and you dont need to be fan to post the news/facts. Nobody would've questioned you on that. - Wed, 5 Nov 2008 3:31pm | ||
| Vites User Info... | Bummer, I didn't have tickets, but that's too bad for the people who did. - Thu, 6 Nov 2008 12:17pm | ||
| Tyler User Info... | HEY VITES, WHY DID YOU NEED TO MENTION YOU DIDN'T HAVE TICKETS? HUH? ARE YOU EMBARRASSED? ARE YOU WORRIED PEOPLE WILL THINK YOU LISTEN TO BAD MUSIC? - Thu, 6 Nov 2008 2:09pm Edited: Thu, 6 Nov 2008 2:10pm | ||
| JDL User Info... | well he didn't exactly word like you, tyler... so dont try to prove a point. - Thu, 6 Nov 2008 2:22pm | ||
| Tyler User Info... | I know. I'm just bitter. - Thu, 6 Nov 2008 2:34pm | ||
| Tambo User Info... | There's also the glaring difference of the fact that it's easier to sing with a broken arm than to sing with no voice. - Thu, 6 Nov 2008 3:47pm | ||
| Tyler User Info... | I could sing with no voice. Yeah.... also everyone who's missing out on Lenny Kravitz, come to Black Ships tonight! Also a certain local radio station's music director has theorized that it's not so much about no voice as poor ticket sales. Obviously that's just a rumor and can't be confirmed or taken as fact, but just something to think about. Also please stop grilling me. - Thu, 6 Nov 2008 3:58pm Edited: Thu, 6 Nov 2008 4:01pm | ||
| Jl User Info... | " Also please stop grilling me." NEVAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRR - Thu, 6 Nov 2008 4:21pm | ||
| Criss Crass User Info... | Back-up for second. Earlier in this post Flatulenze claimed that Elvis invented music. Ha ha Hell to the NO. Elvis and his "music" were stolen straight from the gills of black musicians of that era. Elvis was the perfect marketing tool to keep "redneck white America" convinced that they had once again created all great things. Lest we not forget the real inventors of music and RnR Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Screamin' Jay Hawkins(the first true shock rocker) and the others who influenced the King. Sorry but there was no way I could let that remark slide. You may now continue your bickering. - Thu, 6 Nov 2008 8:35pm | ||
| trevor corey User Info... | Is Thornley still coming? - Thu, 6 Nov 2008 11:02pm | ||
| Vites User Info... | "HEY VITES, WHY DID YOU NEED TO MENTION YOU DIDN'T HAVE TICKETS? HUH? ARE YOU EMBARRASSED? ARE YOU WORRIED PEOPLE WILL THINK YOU LISTEN TO BAD MUSIC?" Um no, I wouldn't be embarrassed if people knew I had tickets to the show. It just sucks for the people who didn't get to see them, but I guess I don't need to care, since I don't have tickets. Geez. - Fri, 7 Nov 2008 8:46am | ||
| Tyler User Info... | exactly, vites! exactly. - Fri, 7 Nov 2008 9:01am | ||
| Jl User Info... | again, tyler, its the way you worded your post to make it sound like you were prooving somthing to the 'cool crowd'... stop trying to make a point. - Fri, 7 Nov 2008 9:17am | ||
| Tyler User Info... | exactly, Jl! exactly. - Fri, 7 Nov 2008 9:41am | ||
| devin User Info... | I'd exorcise and disown my firstborn son if he came home with tickets to that concert, and then I'd have his room blessed, fumigated and swept for bugs. That's some serious life-destroying shit, the people who sell those tickets are scum. Good on you for staying on the straight & narrow, Tyler. Don't give in to JI's homosexually motivated peer pressure. - Thu, 11 Dec 2008 8:01pm | ||
| JDL User Info... | rofl, oh devin... you'll never grow up. HOPFULLY will also never have any kids to succeed you. The last thing we need is a)another flames fan b)your gene pool spreading. But trendmonkies like you amuze me; so its a catch 22. You also feel the need to bring in someone's, ASSUMED, sexuality in question because their opinions differ from yours? Oh well, I guess god misses a few sometimes. - Fri, 12 Dec 2008 3:19pm | ||
| Devin User Info... | Why so defensive? - Sun, 14 Dec 2008 1:44pm | ||
