I dunno if you're trolling now or what. He put out a bunch of cover songs in his free time during quarantine and we listened to them. He didn't sign a multi million dollar contract with us or vow a solemn promise to us lol. Billie recording and releasing a song and you listening to it for free, or choosing to spend money to own it, isn't "having his way with you". He's free to release as much or little music as he wants and we're free to buy as much or little of it as we want. I don't know where you get the idea that he's obligated to release a certain amount of music or doing something wrong by choosing to release less music than you want, he isn't. I can only conclude that you're trolling at this point so I give up.

Not trolling. I do not respect people selling us half finished projects. Imagine the next album he plans to release he just inexplicably doesn't on release day with no explanation. Will you use the same defense then?

I actually waited a couple of weeks before I texted and it worked. They then make you got to a URL to confirm your phone number and give consent to receive texts back. A little while after that I got some text updates when they released NFM songs (like I got a text on Easter when they released the Corpus Christi cover). Maybe they just don't like you. 

No. I received exactly 3 SMS.
The last one was April 6th about Manic Monday. 

This project is dead like a lot of other project they did.

Well, I didn't get that one but I got Corpus Christi and that was the last one so I guess it all equals out.

Okay Dr. Armchair Psychologist. It is purely about Billie and NFM. He is disrespecting his fans by not finishing the project or updating us. We pay him, kiss his feet, and he has his way with us.

How is his disrespecting fans? You're so damn butt hurt over a fucking cover song, it's actually fucking hilarious at this point.

Since you're so offended by the fact that he's not creating "new" content or putting out "official statements", you should try being an artist and I'll sit here and bitch to you about every little move you make or don't make.

He wasn't selling you a damn thing.

Again, you're missing my point. I don't care what he creates. He could create nothing if he wants. But don't say you're doing a project and never finish it. Bad business. Disrespectful.

You clearly do care otherwise you’d stop bitching about it. 
 

he said this was during quarantine. Quarantine in the US is basically over. Almost all states are open. People aren’t sheltering. Get over it and move the fuck on because you’re the only one here still bitching about it.

Then he could say that! It's not over btw. Numbers are rising everywhere. Many people are still out of work. Define "over." You and Billie clearly don't know the meaning.

Oh for fucks sake... 

[Clockwise]

Just listened to a few of these covers for the first time in a few weeks and they're so good. Still so happy Billie was able to make this pandemic a little bit more bearable. 

Also, this thread is BAD.

Let's face it: if Billie committed murder, some people on here would find ways to defend it. If you start a project, you finish it. That's just good business and being a respectable person. Billie is clearly too ADHD to do anything the full way nowadays. He wants to put in minimal effort into everything. Just think of anyone that has left you hanging. If you can justify that, then clearly you're biased.

Let's face it: No matter what Billie creates or puts out FOR FREE, some people are always going to find ways to act like they are entitled and be ungrateful about it. Your comparisons make absolutely no sense and it's just embarrassing to see people act like this.

Someone posted proof in the last page or two that the reason there hasn't been any new updates was because of the current movement.

To be honest though, if I was in Billie's position and saw the way people have been acting about thinking they deserve shit that they don't, it would probably make me sick to the point where I wouldn't even want to do it anymore.

I'm sorry, but this kind of crap is just childish and as fans we really should know better than making stupid comparisons like this.

FOAM is a product worthy of valid criticism because FOAM is also a product you pay for. I have expressed my critisims constructively about that product, but in the end, GD could have ended their career during the Warning era and we wouldn't have gotten anything after that so the fact that they still do what they love and are this good at doing it is something we should be grateful in itself for.

What you are doing here is being extremely ungrateful. If you don't like the free shit that you got, don't listen to it and stop making pointless comparisons to shit like murder and healthcare, if you do like the shit you got, be grateful that you even got it at all and remember to respectful of the current situation and also remember that they are human beings too and not some fucking robots that are designed for nothing else but to serve you.

Dr Billie denying us all care

Say you go to the doctor and he/she just stops treating you without explanation. Let's apply your logic. 

"And? The doctor gives some treatment, enjoys his work, and gets some insurance money out of you. He/she is free to do what he/she wants and stop when he/she wants. You're free to do it or not. Everyone wins."

This might be the dictionary definition of false equivalency.  Well done.

COVID remains a problem. Numbers are not rising everywhere but they are in a number of states and if people don't start using their heads we ware going to be in a disaster again. And I will be the first person to say the economic fallout of this is devastating and is going to be with us for a long time: basically everything wrong with our economic structure has been exposed. But it is a fact that, right, wrong, or indifferent, quarantines are largely over. His exact words were "Going to release a cover song every week until we’re let back out into the world." And we have been let back out. So that kinda answers the question.

Can you explain how it isn't finished? The project was to release an unspecified number of songs over an unspecified amount of time. The number of songs or number of weeks it would last was set out to be unknown from the start. It was deliberately set up to be loose and informal where he could choose to put out as much or little as he liked.....and that's allowed and not disrespectful. You haven't paid him for more songs and he didn't promise more songs. He hasn't disrespected you. Just because you've bought music from him before doesn't mean you're entitled to anything else from him. He owes you no music, no communication, no nothing, his obligation to you was fulfilled when you got the music you paid him for and anything else is a bonus.

What would make this finished? A certain number of additional songs? Or making a formal announcement, which at the time would've been a self centred and trivial interruption to the BLM posts only thing (and possibly also while he was dealing with important personal stuff), and now would be unnecessary and ridiculous since it's just stating the obvious?

The worst thing you can do is to argue with a stupid. He/she won’t cooperate, won’t listen and won’t make conclusions. No need to waste your energy on these type of people

I think it was good to say out of solidarity for those who feel the same way. I agree wholeheartedly with what @Hermione said and I’m glad I don’t feel the need to say it. I’ll just like it. People who don’t get how important it was for him to take a break from NFM irk me and I am glad I am not alone in that.

[Q-Man]

Can we shut this thread down now? The project is obviously over and these 10+ pages of arguing is ridiculous.

Or maybe we could stop feeding the troll

I don't think it's over, there's probably a bunch of stuff that Billie is waiting to put out at the right time but isn't doing it right now because he want's to respect the movement.

I think it's best we sit tight and give it a few more weeks.
