Invest in a good camera and start making your own.
Amen!
Though they should give them a bailout. I would HATE to see such outstanding directing and production go to waste.

And your point is? Naming their child that does not mean they are horrible and abusive parents and their children need to be taken away. Unless they had sound proof the children were being abused, they had no right to break up that family.
I'd find it offensive if someone named their child Paris Hilton Campbell, but that doesn't mean the child needs to be taken away just because the person he/she was named after is an awful excuse for a human being.
And i know it's a jump to compare Hitler and Paris, but the same principles apply. There will always be people in this world that hate other groups of people, by all accounts these parents fall in that category, but that doesn't make them unfit parents.
And what's your point? these people with good intentions go into the child welfare business...and they're damned if they do and damned if the don't.
Imagine six years from now when the parents are given this kid a swastika (sp?) tatoo...and you'd be saying...where was child services?
or...six years from now they're perfectly normal...with wonderful social skills and socially stigmatized names...
You all have the benefit of hindsight bias and arm-chair quarterbacking up difficult decisions...I think erring on the side of caution in this case was the way to go...
Six years from now, if they give their child a swastika tattoo i wouldn't blink. The swastika actually has good meaning, but since the Nazi's adopted it, the status of it has become something more demonic than the original meaning. I certainly wouldn't say child services should have been called.
What does it say about the parents state of mind when they name their kid Adolf Hitler? What kind of parenting skills do they have when they are already making the child an outcast?
Speculation and guessing are not sound reasons for breaking up a family.
I'm assuming parents who homeschool their kids and never really introduce them into a social life aren't fit parents either. They as well created an outcast who will find a really hard time fitting in and adapting in a society that he had no idea existed. Could even lead to depression and suicide of the kid. By that logic those parents should be thrown in jail for attempted murder.

I find one big problem with your last post Axlin.
You said that all Bumble did was re-record Buckethead's parts. But the problem with that statement is that we have not heard Shackler's or Catcher in the Rye with Bucket on them. I'm willing to bet the rhythm parts added to CD were not re-recorded Bucket parts. And the solo on Riad certainly doesn't sound like he was copying Bucket. It's his own solo.
I'm fairly certain Bbf did not re-record Bucket's parts. If he did, he deserves a lot more credit than a lot of people give him. And he does damn good replicating Bh's exact tone and use of the killswitch.

axlin just cuz someone has a writing credit doesnt mean that they brought a completely finished song to the table....for instance look at songs that we dont have a demo with BH on
Catcher, Scraped, Shacklers, Sorry and This I Love...we have absolutely NO idea what BH recorded for these tracks and which of those parts were possibly taken off the track to make way for bucket....hell the tracks may be 100% complete up til the time bucket left and ron just added stuff on top...WE DONT KNOW....as for the amazing bumble contributions
i'd say he definately has some amazing moments on CD
another thing...we dont even know without a shadow of a doubt exactly what parts are done by which guitarist...some of the songs are so dense that its hard to distinguish where one guitar stars and another ends
Saikin wrote:It's not like I like Bucket's solo better because I heard it first
maybe not you specifically, but its hard to determine .... tink of all teh STP songs you know and love ..... now put scott singing STP tunes in front of VR....somethign sounds different. think of AIC with Layne....now listen with their new singer, what about blind melon? with shannon then the same songs without, orig gnr material done by the new band ... the list goes on, you set yourself up (me you whoever) by hearing a song done a certain way...when things are changed then you notice...same with the "splicing" that peopel complain about on CD...if you really objectively listen you cant hear where new material is added on top of old....you just know the leak like the back of your hand so you think you hear cutting and pasting
The STP songs were still good when done by VR. Slash and Dean aren't such different guitarists at times. The thing that was missed the most was the chemistry, because it seemed like most of the time the guys in VR weren't getting along all that well. And i missed STP doing the songs live because they change it up a lot and jam on some songs.
Layne was the heart and soul of AIC. Duvall is a good singer, but the emotion isn't there. I think AIC performing Nutshell on Unplugged is perfection. There was a lot of emotion in Layne's voice during that performance. You could tell that he felt every word he sang.
I agree that the leaks have, in a way, spoiled it for some people. But in my opinion, it's because some of the demos are superior to the final product. But that's my opinion. If we had never heard the demos, we undoubtedly wouldn't know the difference. But I think there would still be some of us complaining that the solos in Catcher and Riad don't really fit.

I think the key point here is that putting clips of songs on youtube is not the same as hosting them on a site for people to download.
Now if Baz was arguing against that particular person posting songs or albums on a website for the world to download, then his argument would have more validity.
Youtube is free promo. In a way, it's a slight way of trying to balance illegal downloading and legal purchasing. There's not a lot of free promo artists get when you actually think about it.

Taking away children from their parents should not be done with 'probable cause.' They should know for sure that those kids are being abused before removing them from their home. If those parents are two loving parents and care for their kids and their kids' safety, then there is no way the children should be subjected to foster care. Especially with how young they are, it could mess them up even more.
This is bullshit as far as i'm concerned. Unless they have sound reasoning for doing what they did.
