I will never understand admins/mods that delete stuff, just because they want to be on the 'e-mail forward' button of the assistant to their favorite band. In the meantime, they rob fans of all kinds of stuff.

They do realize all of those PRECIOUS GN'R unreleased demos n' shit they have sitting on their website from the old days, came from fans who liberated shit. Yet for AFD, Lies & UYI, it's okay. For CD for some reason, we've gotten be the fuckin' Company about everything and kill and silence anyone with a bread crumb.

ANYWAYS, like Russ said. We're all cool here, and we'll all help each other out. That's what makes this place the best, and Atari thx for the heads up on the stuff over there.

There's a huge difference.  Back in the days of AFD and UYI there was no internet or file sharing.  The "demos" didn't leak years before the album came out.  Nowadays all albums leak and it's not right.  I'm not gonna sit here and say I didn't download and listen to the leaks because I did, over and over and over.  But that doesn't make it right.  Recently the "Wolverine" movie leaked and the people involved were pissed, and they have a right to be.  You don't work so hard on something to have unfinished versions make it out to the public without their permission.  I wish I could say I won't partake in downloading any future leaks becaus it is wrong, very wrong.  I just don't know if I can stay that strong.

There is a real possibility that with the Swine Flu Pandemic that there will be no major tours dropping anywhere, particularly South Amercia.
