Rolling Stone Erased from Photographic History - Stop The Presses! (http://new.music.yahoo.com/blogs/stopthepresses/125781/rolling-stone-erased-from-photographic-history/)

oh, and I figured this was related to VH, but if it needs to go into the gen music forum please move.

Damn. I read this and saw the pictures this morning. EXACTLY what happened to Michael Anthony. Totally screwed up.

By the way, did anyone get a screen shot of the VH website when they had the altered album covers on there? Just wondering if VH camp changed it back before anyone saved it.

No surprise really. It's not like it's the first time they've fucked bandmembers over...

Just shows how big the EGO's (that they dont want us to know about)
really are...

On a tangent, Bill did himself no favours with the Mandy Smith thing,
and maybe (trying to give the Stones some benefit of the doubt) they
are trying to distance themselves from that ??

I never got over the fact that a high-caliber frontman like Diamond Dave ended up having to share a stage with a fat 16-year-old zitfaced punk on 'air-bass'.

It's "Twilight Zone" meets the fucking "Partridge Family".

The only thing I hate more than egos is nepotism.

It was wrong to do, on both counts. I suppose it's their own history, but it seems like weird behavior to me.
I wonder if they thought their fans wouldn't notice?
Or is it that old adage 'Any publicity is good publicity'?
On the upside, neither band has had a scab re-record the bass tracks...yet!

I didn't think much of the Wyman thing at the time. He's not in the band anymore, so they didn't want to have a picture of a guy on the cover who's no longer in the band (even though he DID play on some of the stuff on that record). Never occurred to me that it was digital manipulation though, I just thought they found a shot where he wasn't in it, since the cover photo was from the "Respectable" video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPKbCRkMlUM), and Bill isn't in every shot.

At least they didn't try to photoshop Daryl Jones IN to the picture! :biggrin:

I didn't get the screen shot at the time, but I did find some sketchy images of the album covers from that time at another site and saved them. Anyway that you look at it, it was a cheeseball move. On the WACF cover, they simply showed a green cover with the album title. The worst offense was on the first album, where Anthony is removed and Wolfgang is painted in. The images were shown roughly avatar sized, perhaps in the hopes that people would not notice. They did, however. Loudly.

Yeah, because everybody would believe Wolfie played on an album that was recorded 13 1/2 years before he was born. :biggrin:

Well, not that, but Eddie V. COULD rerecord the bass & claim it was his son who rerecorded it.

:umm:

... wasn't that what happened in the first place? :biggrin:

"Yeah, so I recorded the bass back then for Mike, but since he's not in the band any more, I rerecorded the bass for my son."

It would NOT be the stupidest thing to come out of Eddie's mouth. :lol:

Cheers! :bottle:
