Am I allowed to be self-righteous? Because you're right, DC3 didn't make it. But you're wrong about the band. They had no part in it, other than letting us film them.
You want to know who made it? A small group of cameramen, a sound person, and two editors. Once filming was done, those editors (myself and Leslie Atkins) worked day and night for a month to edit the picture and get it locked in time for the release that was supposed to happen in January. I even went so far as to come in nights and work for free after having quit the City Drive, so that it could get done.
So yeah, when someone takes something that I worked really hard on and was hardly paid for, and a lot of other people worked on and still haven't been paid, and then asks for it for free, it pisses me off.
YOU should grow up, and realize that when you ask for a rip, you are taking money out of people's pockets. Not rock stars or directors, but people who work damn hard for a living.
holy fuck this thread is hall of fame
I do not get your post or anyones here. Dint you read???????? I said, I'd buy it anyways that is if the product was released.The documentary is not released. Are you saying all those fans of the band out of the 3000 who bought the boxset will not get to see it?
And, all this jazz about musicians are struggling and do not want their music to go for free is total BS. I understand at its core level, cuz even Ive been a part of having a life in music and now with running a guitar store. At the end of the day, when a band starts whats most important for a band ? making their music known. They might wanna have a grand lifestyle, but they writ music to get out there, not essentially to make money. They dont care about getting paid. Ofcourse its important for musicians to be paid, the should be, but thats not the agenda of an "non commercial" artist right?right? . but nones gonna pay if they dont even know what the music is like.You get the point here? All those fans who care about the band are anyways going to end up buying the album or whatever, but all those who do not seem to care other than being a casual fan will not buy anyways.
So whats important here? To make most people know about your work and like it and turn into potential customers? Or keep to a small fanbase just cuz they have the money to pay for it?
You know eventually all of this material will be ripped and circulating, watched by many millions, generating their interest in supporting your "product". Nobody starts buying an album these days without having followed the band for a while. I myself am a collector of original discs and vinyls, dosn't mean I cannot keep checking all the free music thats around. If I really like something I'd buy it..
