So, it's MF Grimm's vocals on "Tick, Tick..."? I was never 100% sure about this. It really doesn't sound like DOOM or Grimm to me...

yeah, Grimm does "Tick Tick".

Fixed :)

haha.

Grimm kills it on:

"chop that ass in half like Obi Wan Kenobi" is my favorite line.

 

OMG where did you get that???? Goes well with the King Geedorah ones!

Looks like DOOM is "supposedly" coming to Europe after all these years, playing in Amsterdam on March 4th:

Then the day after he's booked to play in London.

Yeah right.

Assuming he still has the same passport issues, it seems more obvious than ever that he'll be sending out a DOOMposter to lip sync a European tour for him... Can he really just get away with that shit?

DOOM can get away with pretty much anything. He's a supervillain.

True... and I admire his honesty/shamelessness about the whole imposter saga, but €35 for having someone lip sync for 20 minutes? That's just a rip-off... although I guess anyone believing he's really coming over deserves to lose that kind of money.

but the thing is, yr paying for the experience. The money you spend is to say you experienced a DOOM show. If that means you experienced one of his bizar imposter pranks, then you still experienced that. Right?

If the people attending see it like that, fine. But I'd feel cheated and disrespected myself. Imposter pranks are funny once or twice, but to do a whole tour like that when it's already known in advance? I don't see the point.

I'll pay for his albums, but I wouldn't pay for a DOOM experience... or a Sonic Youth experience or whichever band.

meh. I guess I just think of going to a show as going to a... SHOW. I mean, if that's what is shows are, then so be it. I think of it like going to a William Castle movie. You're really not paying for the movie...

But they're not "his" shows, that's the point.

I mean I've seen plenty of fake instruments being played during live hip-hop shows and if the show was good then it didn't really matter, because it's indeed all about the show.

But in DOOM's case he won't be there, it's not his show. He'll be thousands of miles away in a different continent. That's where I clearly draw the line for €35, I don't care what other people do.

but he orchestrated it. It's his show. It's performance art.

Like The Residents. If you go see them live, how do you know you're really seeing hthem?

performance art my ass it's a ripoff pure and simple it's obvious he hasn't sold enough albums to be financially successful so he's burning his true fans.

sad sad

hahahaha

He orchestrated what exactly? Most of what I've read about DOOM's gigs involves fans waiting three hours only to get an imposter lip-sync for 20 minutes and leave the stage. That's performance art? Get the fuck out, it's called shitting on your fans. It's a shame, because I would've liked to go see him.


yeah, or SunnO))), The New Blockaders, Caroliner, Daft Punk or GWAR. You can play that game for many people. What I do know is that when I went to see The Residents it was a lot cheaper than what DOOM's asking and they performed for nearly two hours... without lip synching.

alright, well then just don't go. Makes little difference to me.

cool guys! I'm seeing DOOM and Mos Def. Or maybe I'm seeing Mos Def and a DOOMposter or maybe I'm seeing Mos Def wearing a DOOM mask. Regardless of that, I'm going to a DOOM show
