''If the World'' sounds like a porn song anyway. Riad does a bit also with all of those ''oh oh ohh''s. 

yep.

+ you might use something like "A miserable nolifer fucks with a whole band's fanbase" as a video title. that should work brilliantly!

My YouTube account I've had for 15 years was terminated on Thursday of last week.  Roughly 20 GNR videos I've filmed from 2011-2016 were flagged and removed.  One of the notable videos removed was my footage from Indianapolis 2011 with Zakk Wylde joining GN'R on stage for Whole Lotta Rosie.  To say I'm upset is an understatement.  Had I known this would happen, I would have set all of these videos to private to anyone except those who have the link.  I took filming seriously, but was not in this for the views or publicity.  I managed to find this thread after seeing similar complaints on Reddit. A dangerous precedent, to say the least.

I actually watch that fairly recently - hadn't seen it before. 

What gets me about all this is that I'm the most anti-piracy person I know; I detest illegal downloading, see the damage it has caused to the creative industry, make sure I buy anything I like, etc etc. I'm a firm believer in 'if you like it, buy it' and the notion that I wouldn't expect someone to mow my lawn for free, so wouldn't expect a musician to pay for a studio, record and spend their time doing something that people don't pay for. 

There's a massive difference (and one most sane rational people without a personal agenda and inferiority complex appreciate) between piracy and sharing interesting clips of one off events that are (and will remain) totally unavailable commercially. So many times I've seen an amazing clip I hadn't seen before, such as the Zakk Wylde one mentioned above, and been reminded why I love GNR......but all that history, all those amazing moments are being lost because of a couple of silly little bullies hiding behind their computers. That's the most tragic part.

I actually cannot believe I have to post this but I'll go ahead and say it anyway:

Just as an FYI for all users, we cannot allow ANY links to porn sites and we cannot allow ANY screen shots from porn sites. 

whoops... sorry, that was my intention gone quite terribly wrong. I feel awkward now.

A mainstream news organization should pick up this story.  There is one here and it would certainly get a lot of clicks given Guns’ notoriety

A Rolling Stone or NYT-entertainment section article could shame GNR into acting. 

What other global band is getting erased from YouTube?

Completely agree. As I said previously, it sets a dangerous precedent when accounts like the IFPL are whitelisted to remove anything they want to. There aren't enough checks & balances to ensure legitimate claims are handled correctly.

All good. 

It's just another thing for us to deal with due to these two awful "fans" 

I suppose to get around the rule we can mention PH and perhaps a user name to search for?  Technically no links or screenshots. :shrugs:

If it comes from that guy again, it's probably just another way to try and get the forum into trouble. Just seems a tad coincidental if it's from that guy, who knows well enough that kind of thing seriously threatened the forum some years ago, costing the staff many many hours sifting through every thread. Or am I being paranoid?

I'm not that desperate to go looking for leaks on that kind of website, let alone a rehearsal from 2009 ffs.
