ToonGuns Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Not normally one to criticise my favourite band... but things are just boring at the moment. CD era we waited A N E T E R N I T Y without any official releases, live albums etc, but at least there was an aura of anticipation. Now... nothing.

YT clip in any way, or do you really think, they would have accepted such a poor in sound and vision edited video ?

Tom2112 Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Why couldn't they just release a shagging statement on social media instead of this saying "We currently don't feel right putting out live videos during this time, when it's appropriate we'll start again. Stay safe" I mean, how I am I more professional than a guy who Is managing a multi million dollar band? He probably makes 10x times what I make in a year too... it must be so tough flying around the world on the bands $ "managing" everything. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think, if they hadn’t agreed on this video there would have been no video at all. I think the video is the compromise between Duff/Slash and Axl/TB.

Axl_morris Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 (edited) Metallica must be seriously disrespecting world events as they have uploaded 4 full length concerts in the last month Edited June 13, 2020 by Axl_morris 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sydney Fan Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 (edited) This is a joke. Here we are even giving advice on the illusions anniversary, if TB cant upload videos how the fuck can they be trusted to manage an anniversary release?. Sometimes in world crisis music can bring people together but whatever. Id even have azoff, niven or Goldstein managing the band at this point or maybe duffs wife.

The box set is put together by the record company, not management, so there's a chance they'll actually put something great together if they're asking for input. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope so. I just hope TB can stay away from it otherwise he will throw in a kids book to the first 100 boxsets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metallica has been offering live performance clips and video since 2003 (maybe longer). I wouldn't judge GNR on Metallica standards, but rather on the good faith effort scale. In the Metallica world, practically every single concert since 2004 is available for purchase or stream, while also slowly adding older concerts from their vault. Metallica is doing everything that I wish GNR were doing. There are a ton of examples of what I believe are successful models to extract money from fans, and take advantage of available tapes (video and audio). And multiple artists have also made statements to reflect what they want to say during these difficult times, and continued weekly webcasts. I don't perceive that there's been an effort, even after the demand for North Korean style praise for the NITL video.

jamillos Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Oh my god, this is beyond ridiculous. And even in such a short communication he manages to act like a dick ("It's called..." - as if he couldn't have written it in a normal, non-snippy way). Pathetic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DurhamGirl Posted June 14, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 14, 2020 I actually find it disrespectful that Fernando uses the heartbreaking events on a worldwide basis as an excuse to not put out a couple of vids....I have not been around here very long and my excitement at finding this band is dissipating pretty quickly. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zigzagbigbag Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 (edited) 8 hours ago, Tom2112 said: That comment is hilarious! If they want to pay respect, start the video with a mobile phone video of Axl saying "we stand with the BLM movement!". Metallica kept releasing their videos and just released a statement at the tip of the video showing solidarity. It's supposed to be an escape from the chaos... that's the point dumb dumb I guess the update on refunds is on hold too because of the protests🤣 Not doing anything and then saying oh it's because we respect you too much... laughable. Admit it, it's just too difficult to do something when you don't make buggar all from it financially. Fuck this disrespectful sham of a band. This. A comment/statement by Axl or the band right before the video(s) would reach millions of people ... in the majority white people. The band could use their brand to promote anti-racism and act as role models. But no. Guns N Roses indtead decided to help black people by simply doing nothing, including not releasing hard rock videos. Its so damn ridiculous. As a white guy I am just ashamed that this stupid band really has the nerves to even use the black peoples suffering as an excuse for their own mismanagement. This tops it all.
