Bootleg cowboys

[norbinho]

I think there seems to be some confusion of what the title is actually refering to. Bootleg Cowboys.....we here, as on many other forums, class what we do, trade, film, as bootlegs. You film or audio record a concert, and you trade it. Now, from watching the video, it seems they are talking about a bootleg copy of a studio album. Taking money from us. Everyone knows that an established band, IE Metallica, Megadeth, etc etc DO NOT SELL AUDIENCE RECORDED CONCERTS, Period! So how then, is what we do taking money from the artists?

Even if you are a seller, you are still not taking money from Mustaine or Hetfields pocket. The filmers have already put money INTO their pockets, by buying a ticket to attend the show in order to record.

Apart from the filmers who make it a business, attending a show to film, and then selling the resulting bootleg, filmers are FANS.....the FANS have already bought the studio albums, attended concerts, bought T-Shirts etc etc IE SUPPORTED the band.

Metallica were smart. They have been aware of their fanbase filming since the early 80's, heck, they even had a tapers section! Now, they record every concert in great quality, which people add to their bootleg, giving the best possible sound. That is great business by Mr Ulrich! Other bands should embrace bootlegs as great advertising.

Sorry, went off on one a little bit!

What I'm saying is this. This documentary is about concert filming, or making a bootleg copies of studio albums?

Totally agree with you, michael...most filmers are fans and have every official stuff and visit multiple concerts. Indeed livemetallica is a smart idea. But on the other side there are bands like maiden (or better to say steve harris) who piss off fans with there attitude towards bootlegs.

About mustaine, i think he didn't get the point clearly and talks about something different.

It was mainly Mustaine and the black guy who confused me, talking about piracy. It's a completely different subject!

Very true, i would love to have heard some shows in SBD quality that i did not record/film in the early stages of seeing shows. This being said my first metallica concert in 2004, the guys started recording/selling shows just after the Australian tour. I mean it's great to hear the opener Fight Fire With Fire, but i would give my left nut to hear that show again. It was the first concert i ever went to and I've seen heaps since then.

That being said this is why i audio record most shows these days as it's a great memory of something that isn't available unless more bands like Met decide to do.

must be a good movie, I'm excited

Pretty interesting first 16 mins. I like the part where they tell stories about sneaking gear into the venue. Only negative thing are those fade-in images like a wheelchair, etc but nevertheless I'm waiting for the whole film.
