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.
Low down motherfuckers, eh!?

No surprise really. It's not like it's the first time they've fucked bandmembers over...
That is really fucked up. What makes these people so cheap and petty?
Ego!...Quote:

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 ??
The Sobolewski thing was wrong wrong fucking wrong.
No matter which camp you like to sit in.
Amen to that brother.Quote:

It's "Twilight Zone" meets the fucking "Partridge Family".
The only thing I hate more than egos is nepotism.Quote:

Yeah umm....
What is "myst" ?
:gulp:
Kids and their slang these days.....
meh, video game reference. I'm 37, but definitely still a kid! :D
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!
Similar to a cyst... but more painful...Quote:

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, 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.Quote:

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

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