mixk Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 What did the text say exactly?It said verbatim:"I'm glad everyone is happy with stolen material. Well, I guess that's it. We don't need to put anything out now. Everyone took the fun of everything. MSL and co will pay for what they did"The most dangerous band in the world has turned into the sandyest vagina in the world. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daedalus Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 "Everyone took the fun of everything"What fun? Of holding the songs back for 10+ years?It's just one "new" song... and at least it made the GN'R community a bit more alive these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NGOG Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Everybody, you have to realize that the person who published the supposed text message is a half-wit. It couldn't be more doubtful that Beta authored that message.Anthony Sunta, or WTTJ on newgnr, couldn't be less of an 'insider'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest NGOG Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Manets said she said the same thing in an e-mail to him Well, that's different. I didn't know that. To be honest, I think MSL will wipe the floor with GNR legally. He obviously has a firm grasp on the loopholes of that system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RussTCB Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 WOW. You go to bed early and look what happens!Obviously I agree that no one's personal info should be posted on the board. No matter how much I might disagree with any particular user, I would never dream of posting their personal phone number or anything and the same goes for Beta.Having said that, I still cannot get my head around openly disliking your fans. As long as I live, I'll never understand that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RussTCB Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 So wait, Beta allegedly sent that text to a fan? Am I understanding that right? When did she call Subs and HV assholes?On the first part yes, you have the right. Amazing (in a bad way), but yes you have that right.On the second part, I'm not sure but that's hilarious (in a bad way) to me. How are they assholes? For what?

Her "suggestions" aren't catered to and it pisses her off.Details are still sketchy (for me) on the whole "how did a fan get her number" thing, but as I find out more, I'll share of course. Your second point could be right on the money for all I know. If you ask me though, her best approach would be to make any attempt to work WITH these sites instead of just dishing out demands, insults and threats.

Guest NGOG Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Can we all agree on one thing? Beta is entitled as part of GNR management to resent unsanctioned leaks of GNR property. But to label HV and UKSubs "assholes" is unacceptable and she should formally apologize for such a reckless generalisation. These are two fair, objective people who unnecessarily devote a portion of their lives to running a Guns N’ Roses fan site. The same can be said of those appointed by HV/UK to help. From HV to Black Sabbath, can you image the sum produced by the mod team in buying tickets, merch and records over the years? Scratch the last one, all we can do at this point is purchase records released for years. I stand with HV and UKSubs on this one. Beta, you are simply wrong here.

As I mentioned earlier, I went to bed early last night and just woke up to all of this. The more I think on it, the more worked up I'm getting about it.Don't get me wrong, I don't think paying for goods entitles me or anyone else to anything outside of those goods BUT I also think that insulting and threatening people who are just trying to maintain a community dedicated to "your band" is completely uncalled for.

It was really a GREAT opportunity to make amends with this forum, to make new ways of communicating with the hardcore fans.They thought new music is not what the ppl want? Wrong. Going Down was a great and get enough attention from everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Direct insults at Beta, including the tired cleaning jokes don't really help anything.I'm not trying to censor anyone, just pointing out what seemed obvious to me.
