A 20th century record contract probably makes that idea impossible Of course they could solve that issue by releasing albums to end their contract.

I can do that without a link to where it's at. Public information zone I would think but I can be wrong. You're exactly right. That'll have to be the way it's done.

Okay, that settles it, they will be stuck in that contract forever in that case 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they do have their own forum, it's just that no one cares to pay to post there. Many fans tried at first, but with all things GNR, they never provided enough value, so everyone decided to stop letting GNR rip them off. Did you obtain the use of likeness?

And if someone officially from the band requests we remove the images because of their likeness, we'd gladly change the banner. Until such time we'll consider the images on the banner as fair use and keep it at that. This forum doesn't make money, so it would be hard to argue we're using those images for monetary gain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used a lot of sexist language, made plenty of comments saying he doesn't understand gay guys (basically like the old Axl). Very anti-Islam and clashed terribly with Iranian Lost Highway on MSL's old forum Until literally the day Axl said he was democrat. He made a complete about turn overnight and posts as many anti-Trump memes as Axl photoshops these days. Yes, that's right. A fully grown adult changed his whole political beliefs to match that of his favorite singer 1 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derekness Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 (edited) My YouTube channel had a PUBLIC GnR playlist of live vids still existing until early yesterday. That whole playlist was knocked out. Every video gone at once. I knew this would happen eventually much to my dismay. This playlist was made up of mostly the best versions remaining on YouTube post Frans knockout. There are still copies of some of the same videos around YouTube (for the most part) with either slightly worse audio or video. My playlist was targeted specifically. I know this because I didn't host any of those videos on my own channel. So I go and check the other channels the videos belonged to. ONLY the video that was a part of my playlist was deleted. Why copyright-strike ONE little video, when your channel has dozens of others that could also easily be? Doesn't make sense right? Someone manually copyright-"struck" these videos in this case.

DieselDaisy Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 That Team Brazil are involved is now irrefutable I'm afraid; remember, this was the same organisation who tried to remove Rose's fat pictures, instead triggering a Streisand Effect.

gnfnrs1972 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 I really don't see how losing YouTube videos is such a substantial loss. What is the loss? It's just the same songs over and over. Axl killed it, Axl sucks. What is the big deal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different shows have different vibes, solos, different musicians depending on the era, approaches, etc. Plus it is also meaningful for a lot of us to see the actual shows that we were at, or great shows of old that either capture the band at its height, or interesting/unique moments Same with listening to the albums. Why listen to literally the same recording over and over again? Cause it makes us feel good 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamillos Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Anyway... while I understand that sorting this crap when it concerns such giants as Google and copyright companies etc. must be hard, we’re still talking about companies nonetheless. Companies that have structures. Organizational charts. CEOs. Contact persons, e-mail systems, telephones. What I’m saying is that once TB realizes / kindly admits that this situation may be harmful even to them, I believe ways will be found and methods will be implemented to initiate some sort of settling process. It may take time, it may be just partial, but things will start changing all of a sudden... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lethalis Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 (edited) 11 hours ago, username said: Metallica (and also the Black Crowes and Springsteen) are great with posting full soundsboards of their concerts online that fans can purchase after the show. It's absolutely brilliant. I've bought every show I could from those 3 bands and loved all the recordings to bits. THAT's how you do it. It's easy, it's simple, it's great for the fans and I assume profitable for the band. Yeah, the thing is... a band like The Black Crowes also sounds really great live, so they don't have anything to be ashamed of. There is no fat out of breath Mickey Mouse ruining ticket sales in recordings of them. So I really do believe removing the videos is better for GnR. Seriously. Everytime I see a Black Crowes recording I actually want to see them again. They are still great, Chris can still sing his ass off. I love them. And every concert I have attended was awesome. So yeah. GnR is over in my book. Time to stop thinking about them and move on. I'll enjoy the Crowes reunion instead. Sorry folks. PS Everytime I showed a live GnR recording to people, I more or less apologized for the sound of the singer...

El Guapo Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Maybe Axyl/the band is behind all this after all because the singing sucks most of the time and they're afraid of losing ticket sales. It is possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamillos Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 In that case, they should have already started back in 2017... Truth is, the last time I've shown any GNR video to anyone was 2010. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post username Posted December 4, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 4, 2019 I've reached a conclusion. I want this band to die. Actually it already died a long time ago in terms of soul. But it's empty decaying corpse is still doing shows. Someone just needs to put a spike in it's brain and put it out of it's misery. I'm genuinely rooting for a fearless vigilante to break into all the hoarders houses, steal their shit and put it on the internet anonymously without any cockteasing. To any of you reading this, be that unsung hero. Wear a cape if you must. That way we can all have closure on the Chinese Democracy years and quit this abortion of a band forever. I hope all the shit out there gets leaked. I also hope it completely ruins all release plans GnR has ever had because I'm just not interested in it anymore and I really don't want them to get another cent from me. I don't care for a bunch of re-worked 20 year old songs with Axl sounding shit at worst and mediocre at best with guitar parts re-done by people who had no part in writing those songs in the first place. Furthermore, and this has been said many times, Team Brazil is the worst possible bunch of amateurs in the world. They actively hate and insult the hardcore gnr fanbase and are just in it for the money. I want GnR to die so they can stop squeezing money out of it. These people disgust me. Like Russ already said - the GnR fan community is the only reason to still be here. But the ridiculous way that the band, it's management and particularly people like Walker and Mojo are trying to ruin that community really squeezes a lot of the fun out of that too. The band and TB are iin this for the money. I'm in it for love. And out of love I feel the merciful thing to do is to pull the plug on this band and let it die in peace. What a shitfest. 1 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
