Cool, let's go with it already! Yeah, that caught my eye too. You don't see other managers saying "we played a gig" do you? That's very odd. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Comstock Posted May 7, 2020 Author Share Posted May 7, 2020 1 minute ago, RussTCB said: Hahaha, well done. I just compare how GNR does (or doesn't) do things with other legacy acts. Take Pink Floyd for example: 2 of the 5 members have passed away. The 3 that are alive barely speak and when they do, it's still insanely hostile. Yet, FOUR weeks ago they started uploading concert footage for free on their social media. The first two things they uploaded were full newly remastered and re-edited concerts from a boxed set they just released last year for $600, but they're giving that footage away now. So, that's how Floyd can do things, yet GNR is still thinking about getting around to maybe uploading something we've probably already seen lol. In classic GNR fashion, they're 4 hours weeks late. Haven't Floyd been releasing remastered albums and live stuff somewhat regularly over the years, though? GNR don't really compare to them, and the bar for GNR is probably lower in terms of what fans will accept. Honestly, it'd be cool if they just uploaded the remastered Ritz 88 show (which they apparently played at a launch party for the AFD box set, and then never released), but hopefully we get some cool, unseen footage. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UsedYourIllusion Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 1 minute ago, alfierose said: If I had to guess part of the issue will be that there's no existing set up or designated and qualified person to oversee this. There should be and that set up should already exist within the management of a band like GNR and should have existed for a number of years now. Probably the reason Pink Floyd got to it quickly is because they have the set up in place already. Also, the Pink Floyd pro shot catalog is absolutely teeny tiny, much to the dismay of their fans. Also their band isn't terribly managed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like a cop's kid in a small down, he's just a little punk who got placed in the highest role possible because of his crafty mom. And that's not even a diss, that's just exactly what happened. All of this garbage isn't all that surprising when you see it for what it is. Disappointing? You bet. Not surprising.

KeyserSoze Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 (edited) To bring the pearl jam comparison up yet again, while all of this is going on over here (and will probably never see the light of day) in march around the time all this crazy stuff started happening, a FAN was able to get his hands on video from the 1993 Vs. tour. 150% pro shot video that had never been seen before. did Eddie and the boys have it taken down? No. Are they still probably going to make an official release out of it one day? Maybe. Who knows, PJ does what it wants. Thats the kind of fan service every band should give their fans Edited May 7, 2020 by alfierose Removed video Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said, often in a business setting. They use “we” often to refer to their team and the band.

I’m saying it’s from experience but whatever. There’s a lot to nitpick management from a fan’s perspective here, this thing not so much.
