Popular Post RussTCB Posted August 5, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2018 Had a GREAT time talking with @sidman69 on Episode 72 of GN'R Central's podcast yesterday. We covered a really wide variety of topics, then eventually moved on to current events. It's a long episode, but that's because I ramble easily lol: 7 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zombux Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 (edited) @RussTCB seriously man, you could ramble like this for DAYS! and you are absolutely spot on. it's so ridiculous to watch all the current events and I kind of envy that you can express it that way, because I'm hopelessly bad at expressing things vocally edit: haha, you used the Josey Wales quote used in Better Gone! Don't Piss On My Back and Tell Me It's Raining! Edited August 5, 2018 by zombux 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if anyone would want to hear it, but I sure could When I get invited on these podcasts, I generally make a lot of notes ahead of time to keep myself on track. It's still hard though, like in this epsiode when the last Weiland record gets mentioned of the band Silvertide gets mentioned. I'm immediately like a squirrel and get easily distracted LOL. In any case, I appreciate the compliment and had a great time with the guys yesterday. If nothing else, I just hope people understand the passion I (along with SO many other GN'R fans) bring to the table. The greater majority of us are NOT sitting back and trolling this band. This is what I mean when I say so many of us just want what's best for them. Hopefully things like this episode help in clarifying that! 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soon Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Another great one guys. Im fairly convinced GNR has a lot more awareness then they are letting on - to say the least. I was sad to realize recently just how young Alfred is. I ask myself how can he be so jaded already? But encouragement from the GNR camp, by silently allowing it or otherwise, goes a long way in explaining the depth and intensity of his motivation. "You Are Handling This Wrong; The Guns N' Roses Story" lol, good one Russ! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamsapple Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 If Axl ever decides to to an in depth interview, it should be with these guys. Just schedule a call, sit down behind the computer and shoot the shit freely and uncensored, that would gain him about ten million coolness points in my book. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on the fence about the time frame. If Team Brazil are trying to work with YouTube, it could take some take to get something done. Having said that, I remain puzzled by how it could possibly be hard to give us a solid yes or no on whether or not they've been working with the two people in question. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DieselDaisy Posted August 5, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2018 To interject to highlight a different modus operandi, all the Stones boots - every live show in existence - are just up there to download for everyone on the unofficial IORR forum, linked to places like File Factory. Now The Stones themselves are digging in the archives, so all that happens is whenever The Stones release a live show officially, the bootleg is removed, and a link is placed to the official place of purchase. Jagger is known to be a savvy and ruthless businessman and even he doesn't give a shit about any of this!! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackstar Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 What puzzles me is why GnR would suddenly want to take down bootlegs now. This stuff, if I'm not mistaken, has been on youtube and shared in online communities for years and no one seemed to be bothered by it until now. The CD leaks were another matter. There I can totally understand that an artist may not want "new" unreleased material to leak. But bootlegs of live shows and old demos? Why now? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert39 Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Fucking cool and youre right on !! I hope guns makes a statement, against this bullshit !! this has to end !!! the last part, i am right up with you guys !! make a goddamn guns set list, we don't care if it doesn't sound like the 90' if that was the case we would not buy tickets !!!!! We all love Gn'R music thats why we are here !!! The music was never perfect, but at least it was real !! It learned us to take a stand en don't let anybody fuck with you !! Now Guns has to do it for us.............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they, Uzi Suicide LLC, have been pulling stuff down for years, it is just that since the boxset the pull downs have increased exponentially. I theorised that they looked to pull all of the boxset stuff down, Sound City etc., and realised there was all of this other stuff and that sort of galvanized them into action, that they were alerted to all of this other stuff. Seriously, bollocks to this band if this is their policy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the problem was finally identified Friday afternoon. People that would get involved (lawyers, PR, label reps, etc.) take weekends off. There are also issues as to how certain individuals might have gained access to accounts that would grant them the ability to enforce copyright. Until that can be completely determined we're not likely to get any kind of official comment. From my understanding access to these accounts by potential bad actors was something unaware to the upper echelons of GNR and management. It's also my understanding that the impacted LLC used to pull YouTube videos and enforce copyright has been shut down. Again, all of this was identified late Friday. We should allow the band and its various functionaries time to fully understand the problem and work with partners to plot out a course that best serves them and the fans. Keep in mind that there are potential civil and criminal violations here and any legal representation worth his or her salt would advise their client to remain quiet until potential legal actions have been investigated and launched. So let's all have a little patience and give the appropriate parties time to sort out what happened and what's to be done. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do get that, that's why the first thing I was clarifying for everyone is that I remain on the fence about the turnaround time. I know you're aware of this, but I (along with you and everyone else I'm sure) am just hoping for as fast of a resolution as possible to this whole situation.
