>I managed to catch DIIV at their show last night in Edinburgh. Cole was noticeably ill almost broke down on stage and kept saying that he could not go through with the show and even mentioning that he wanted to die. He did go through the entire show but you could see it was taking a toll on him. Even forcing himself to play Doused with the support of the crowd to end the show. Once the show finished he just lied face down on stage the entire time, while the other band members were meeting and chatting with the fans. The show in Newcastle for tonight was cancelled and quite possibly the remaining shows of the European tour as well.
What struck me the most was, what he said right before they played Dopamine. He said "This song is about drugs. Don't ever do hard drugs... It will really FUCK you up." in a serious tone. I could not help but to think of the worst... Being a huge DIIV fan it was difficult witnessing all that last night despite their amazing performance from the band. I genuinely hope Cole feels better and hope he is okay. Wishing him a speedy recovery.
not being talked about much but tour is confirmed to be cancelled now & i'm still wondering how anyone involved in putting a still recovering addict out on a massive tour would be a good idea. anyone else manage to catch them recently?
Wow, did any of the other members say anything about his condition? Do you think it had anything to do with that really nasty review of their show in the Guardian?
>>63638060
think that article might have something to do with it. touring is stressful as fuck anyway & cole has mentioned countless relapses since "he got clean". i saw them in manchester & it was a good but odd show. cole was losing his shit over a projector not working which took a good ten mins or so of awkward "turn up the fucking projector" talk. i think it just highlights the current industry's need for rigorous touring is hardly accommodating to a healthy person let alone someone who's unstable (which covers most musicians at diiv's level).
Hes so pathetic
He forced himself to get into hard drugs to be like Cobain, its not even authentic
Hes acting like he didn't realize drugs were bas before he started, he wanted le tragic rockstar image all along
LET'S SUMMON DEVIN!
We need to have three consecutive posts saying 'Unleash the magic, Devin' so he appears.
>>63638206
>thinking you can just "get into hard drugs"
DIIV is a pussy band full of pussy members making music for pussy people. Fuck yourself. You're type of person to hatepost in a Thugger thread when dudes like him tour while withdrawing from xanax and dope all the time. Fucking skinny ass urban outfitters faggot
he is oblivious to how cringe inducing his struggle with drugs is. he's painting himself to be some troubled young guy who is lost and got hooked on drugs and now his troubles have multiplied etc.. when in reality he's just some trust fund kid who hit the genetic lottery and modeled for a few months before he saw some kurt cobain documentary and become obsessed with the image of a struggling artist. i rarely use this word because of the status it has on this board but he is the epitome of a hack. i wish there was a video of him saying that quote because i can guarantee you it was said with obvious condescension. he is a wannabe and the only people that will feel sad when he's gone are his band members who are every bit as deluded as he is. his fanbase will move onto the next indie band that's "in" at the moment. kurt cobain was dick but at least he had an iota of talent when it came to music. cant say the same about cole. he is a wannabe
a beautiful portrayal of everything that went wrong with "indie" music
>>63638206
this, its just laughable t b h
>>63638227
>implying you fucking can't

you fall into it you dont make the conscious decision one day to become a hard drug user & even then there's numerous highly painful steps along the way where you can take a step back before becoming physically addicted.
>>63638206
He even lied about his age saying he was like three or four years younger than he actually was because he probably had fantasies about blowing his brains out at 27 like his hero.
The truth came out when he was busted for posession of smack a couple of years back. Sad thing is that now he'll actually be in his 30s.
did someone say cobain wannabe?
White boy did drugs, waaah, waaah, life is so hard living off a trust fund and making shitty lifeless jangle pop for a living
r/indieheads I want you to GO.
GUYS!!!! WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?!?\
DEVIN IS ONE OF US!! WHO CARES IF THEY'RE RICH KIDS PRETENDING TO BE POOR FOR THE AESTHETIC?!???????? THEY"RE ONE OF US!
WE HAVE TO UNITE ::))))))))))
Unleash the magic, Devin

>devin just sitting there looking at memes while cole has a breakdown
diiv needs a docu film like a gen y spinal tap
What the fuck are bands doing playing Easter sunday. Missed At The Drive-In's only UK date because of that too.
>>63638551
Wait, GB, not UK don't want to offend any Dubliners.
unleash the magic, devin
Someone with twitter ask him to come here pls
@sserpent
>>63637833
hell be fine
JUNKIES DIE
GOD LAUGHS
Can confirm that it was definitely one of the most embarrassing shows I've ever had to play
>>63639463
he unleashed the magic, the absolute madman
This bigot should be fired from his job for harassing Dev and being racist
>>63639530
what a fucking faggot
>>63639463
Nice, i understand you dont want to say much about it but it is nice to see you around here again, it has been months since i saw you post
>>63639463
looking for a new band?
>>63639580
I post every now and then but I mostly just look for 1v1s in the Sm4sh General on /vg/ these days
>>63639463
>>63639530
But Devin never even said anything actually offensive to a generalized group of people in or out of the context of 4chan, why has this never been raised in the context of the allegations made against him?
>>63639530
>queer pop/feedback enthusiast
>"death to cishet males amirite lmao XD"
so much edge for such a gigantic faggot.
devin if you're so amazing then how many countries are in europe?
>>63639463
why is Cole trying so bad to be Cobain? it's pathetic really
>>63638353
>you don't make the conscious decision to be a hard drug user
??? you do though. someone said "hey wanna try opiates, dev?" and he said "yes." that is a conscious decision. so is the second time he does it, the 3rd, the 4th etc. maybe by the 10th time it isn't his decision. that's like saying people don't make a conscious decision to smoke cigarettes, they just "fall into it." dumbass.
>>63639763
You can't possibly think it's that simple and also be able to type with a keyboard
>>63639608
Yes and no. I'm probably gonna start my own band soon. I'm slowly starting to understand that I'm actually a really good leader so I might as well give it a shot. DIIV is still a thing though.
>>63639718
About 50?
Time for my question: Can you see why kids love Cinnamon Toast Crunch?
>>63639813
Whoops, wrong trip
>>63638256
>his fanbase will move onto the next indie band that's "in" at the moment
w/e P4K BNMs next
>>63639636
Hehe, just now remembered when your DS disappeared. I hope it gets better for all of you in diiv, and hope cole gets better at first i thought op was trolling.
>>63639530
S A V A G E
>>63639813
why even are you still in diiv?
>>63639813
>>63639832
Do a collab with someone you meet on /mu/
I mean fuck Thurston Moore met a guy that he ended up having in his band from when he heard him playing guitar with an open window, it's basically the internet equivalent more or less
I made a meme for you, daddy
>>63639977
Dubs means I might give this a shot
>>63639998
Thanks kiddo
>>63640067
You got a 67 that's still a coincidence that had a 1/5 chance
1/5 is only half of 1/10
You should do it
Also this is a 7
>>63640219
Pfff, learn
>>63640067
No problem, Devbro. Im finna keep feeding you fresh memes as a sign of gratitude for you visiting us.
>>63640292

Keep em coming! They'll all be posted to my Instagram by the end of the week
>>63640352
Devin what are your 5 most liked artists? Anybody you met that was a cunt?
>>63639636
stop playing tr4sh you dork pick up melee
>>63640352
Its a honor my man, seeing Scooby Divv on there brought me much joy
>>63640505
I played Melee back when it was the game. Blah blah 20XX whatever, the game is irrelevant to me in this day and age and I don't feel like playing a dated fighter with only 6 or so characters worth a damn (really only 3 at that). I still got it though. I main Marth/Ness in Melee. Some people sleep on Ness in Melee, they just don't know ;)
>>63640598
are you guys still going to be playing the show in philadelphia in may by any chance dev-chan?
>>63640730
Oh May is DEFINITELY happening and I can't wait!
>>63640598
Hey, my friend asks what kind of pedals you use?
>>63640770
me and my friends are 20 and its 21+ plus, we are gonna try to shoulder tap our way in, what are the chances of us working a deal out to help us in ;3
>>63639756

>>63640789
Boss Chorus pedal, Talons Earthquaker pedal, some compression. I don't know right now, I can't look because I left my bass at Bailey's.
>>63640793
Not likely

>>63640970

JDIMSA
>>63640970
Word, thanks man
He also wants to know the worst show you've played?
>>63640970
> I can't look because I left my bass at Bailey's.
Bailey Jay?
>>63640970
yeah but despite the roster being way smaller, don't you find melee way more fun to watch and play? there's so much more freedom than in smash 4
>>63641175
roster size hardly even matters, any game is only going to have a handful of tourney-viable characters, i'm not really invested into either game but i imagine there's just as little variety in tourney winning characters in sm4sh as there is melee
>>63641229
yup
one guy wins every tr4sh tournament he attends lol
>>63639530
God damn, I hate this shit. The whole "queer music" trend is the worst shit ever, it's like holy fuck dude there's more to life than your sexuality you don't have to put it in everything you do.
devvvv, when's Sky's Masochism dropping? i'm really freaking curious about her direction.
>>63639530

>>63641370
>there's more to life than your sexuality you don't have to put it in everything you do.
Putting sexuality in your music is hardly new though.
Has Captured Tracks given up on making Perfect Pussy a cash cow?
Dude is a fucking loser and a total hack of a musician. I hope he dies and fulfills his futilistic dream of becoming a tragic rock star so we can finally stop hearing about him. Fucking burnout junkie garbage.
