    So strange how someone who is so desperate to be viewed upon as this ~Leonard Cohen wannabe vagabond poet~ would sabotage her live act so much. She's such a joke as a performer now, it's unreal. Never plays around with her vocals, boring monotonous frail birdlike stature, no interest in changing up a majority of her setlist & instead blames the band for "not knowing that new song yet", and of course musically it's been mostly nothing but piano loops where she hardly actually sings.

    Okay this is my last response seeing as you just want to fight. Pretend you slapped me and get it over with sis :awkney: and then move on with your day. Thanks

    Anyways...... When's Lana's next concert date??

    No it’s clearly something you want to fight about as always, people tell you to DM them so the topic doesn’t divert and you do the exact opposite, once again as always

     

    Anywayzzz!!!!! June I believe!

    They are professional musicians, they can pick up songs quickly. They aren't amateurs for gods sake, you would swear she still is though

    Yeah like I'm sure the band totally enjoys playing the same fucking setlist since 2012. :deadbanana: Blames the band to substitute for her own laziness.

     

    & will we ever get rid of the security blanket that is Alex and Ashley? They're useless up there and that dead fish "choreography" Lana does just contributes to her shortcomings. Like I get that they were introduced when she was trying to morph into a format similar to Amy Winehouse/her backup singers Ade & Zalon but now it's just overkill and ridiculous + the positioning makes no sense, why is Lana frequently in the background lmao everything regarding her live act nowadays is a fucking mess.  :facepalm:

    This, couldn't give a fuck less what casual fans want, concerts are for stans.She looks so bored and tired every show. 

     

    She's a total rubbish performer these days with a few short glimpses of what she used to be. It's sad, because she has potential due to how naturally charismatic she is as an artist.

     

    Obviously she was not a perfect live act before, but she was invested and took the time to cultivate that and her live renditions were overall enjoyable and interesting to watch and listen to. Now she looks like she feels she's too ~kewl~ to be there and keeps excusing the lack of new/never performed songs saying "the band doesn't know that one yet" followed by a boring 30 second acapella no one wanted. Well get them to f*cking rehearse it, that is a huge part of their job after all.

     

    If she insists on performing certain BTD songs, she could easily get her band to switch up the sound of them to keep it fresh, as they've slightly altered other songs in the past, but she clearly cannot be bothered with that either.

    According to instagram Lana fans we don't deserve any news and Lana can do whatever she wants and we should be grateful that she even releases music still and that we should stay loyal even through the silence and throw our money at her

     

    The fact that she has not uttered a word regarding her management's behavior towards fans who simply want to know what the fuck is going on is truly something else

     

    Trust that she has all the time in the world to DM Spin Magazine to go fuck themselves in 2017 cause they said she's boring in interviews

    Also it just seemed more like a caricature of herself more than anything

    It's weird cause I feel like she's more of a caricature now than ever before. The whole baddie shit for starters, I mean her image in general. Though I do prefer her being more laidback than the whole "I feel like only me and Barrie understand music on a deep level" spiel she went on a few years ago during an interview.

     

    Then, lyrics like "shaking my azzzz" "two cats in da yard" "it's me ya little venice bitch, ice cweam, ice queen" which are just laughable to say the least. 

    Hi I hate to further the Venice Bitch debate with more dribble but here goes! I think what's throwing a lot of people off is Lana's minimalism with her production. Even though it may seem like a lot is going on (synths, "psychedlic" guitars, repetition of stream of conciousness-esque lyrics) compared to lets say the polished nature of Born to Die, Paradise, Young & Beautiful era this really is more simplistic. In fact I think that's what's thrown alot of people off with this era in general: the simplicity. However, Lana has talked in interviews about how she wanted this to be more of a stripped down era (little to no promotion aside from instagram posts, "low quality" music videos shot by Chuck, hiadt single cover, etc). We've had big budget quality from Lana (High by the Beach video anyone?). Maybe its time to embrace and accept this era for what it is, even if its different, uncomfortable, or a "change" for some of us (change is a powerful thing bitches!). Once again I would hope that lana's change of promotional and aesthetic direction isnt what's rubbing anyone the wrong way. I think what's pissing people off is how authoritatively she has talked about NFR, like she really has a grasp on the era, when everything that's happened since Hiadt (esp Ben's IG tirade & insta baddie lifestyle) has proven otherwise. Circling back around to VB though, the "cheesy" lyrics that piss some ppl off? Lets not forget that Lana has been satirizing and poking fun at herself since Brooklyn baby. Venice Beach is Brookyln Baby's younger sister ladies, let's appreciate her, love her, and accept her for who she is. End of diatribe.

     

    Simplicity can be nice in some cases but Lana literally admitted she is too lazy to simply reshoot NFR's album cover. That isn't simplistic that's just being a sloth & since she is so "indulged" in politics you'd think she'd take note of just how privileged that type of laziness is

    oh wow look how cool i am i know everything about indie music and psychodelic rock and thats why i think venice bitch is shit and everyone who likes it are a bunch of uncultured swines PuERKhw.gif

     

    If u like it then that doesn't make u any less or any more "educated" on a particular genre than someone else

     

    Funnily @@bummersummer or whatever their name is tried that card with me, assuming I hate psychedelic music just because I think Venice Pig sucks, but that wasn't pointed out.

    I just feel like if she wants to make a good statement she needs to go in depth and do her research, instead of just singing about stuff she’s somewhat heard about. The only approvable political song is WTWWAWWKD

     

    She doesn't seem to understand that u can be political without sounding like a concerned mom who has a monthly subscription to buzzfeed

     

    The Future (song not album) by Leonard Cohen would be a good starting point for her regarding human condition since she seems to like drawing from him so often

     

    It is so strange that someone who has Nina Simone, a very political artist in her heyday, tattooed on her chest but seems to have no idea how to depict her own political thoughts into a song. That just tells me that it is too unnatural for her and she is not well versed on things she preaches regarding that in general
