Slash to play with Ozzy as Sabbath misses dates.

Ezikiel — Sat, 18 Feb 2012 12:13:33 -0500

they will perform only one concert this summer, instead of the planned world tour. The announcement comes in the wake of Tony Iommi's recent lymphoma diagnosis.

Sabbath will co-headline this summer's Download Festival (along with Metallica,) with the rest of their already announced European dates being filled by Ozzy Osbourne.

The shows are being billed as "Ozzy & Friends," with the Prince of Darkness set to be joined by a number of special guests, including Sabbath bandmate Geezer Butler. The duo will perform a miniature Black Sabbath set in honor of Iommi.

Also joining Osbourne will be his longtime guitarist Zakk Wylde, as well as good friend Slash on select dates. More "special guests" are to be announced.

Duff's post about SOPA/PIPA - Seattle Weekly

What a load of crap.

He doesn't seem to know how the Internet works or otherwise he wouldn't have written this. I agree that the whining online is annoying but asking where the public outrage is about piracy is like asking why nobody protests against shoplifting or drug use. Good headline writing by some editor to get more visitors to Seattle Weekly??

BTW, youtube is an example of a place that did implement incredible monitoring for copyrighted material. Even so good that it flags content that is not even copyrighted (news reporting/fair use) and it takes down anything where there is the smallest sign that a song snippet in the background might be owned by someone else.

Recording studios close because everyone with a bit of talent and 1K in his or her pocket can record something that sounds better than many things that were done in the 80s with a budget of 100k or more. It doesn't take a genius to record music anymore. Is it the fault of piracy? I don't think so. It also doesn't take much to get your stuff out there. And if it's any good, you might even build up a following and build a career out of it.

Most record stores closed because people don't need CDs or records anymore (except for a smaller niche market of course). You can LEGALLY download anything you want and if it's available in your country, you can LEGALLY stream without ever paying a penny for music.

This is how the music lover used to spend his money:

When your favourite album came out on vinyl. You bought it
technology advanced and you wanted it on cassette. You bought it AGAIN
technology advanced and you wanted it on CD. You bought it AGAIN (the record industry might've been generous and added a bonus track to make it worth your $15)
technology advanced again and you wanted it on your mp3 player. This is where it started to affect the record industry (note: yes, I didn't say musician...)
fast forward to 2012 and people are streaming albums legally instead of buying them

The music industry made a killing on each new format that came out without ever releasing anything new. When CD's were about to hit the market, they stayed at the prices of vinyl. Even though it was much cheaper to produce and distribute. The consumer took it and the industry loved it. And the same logic was applied to downloads. They cost the same (or more!!!) as the physical CDs but you don't have manufacturing or distribution costs. People can vote with their wallets and many of them did. If you don't make enough $$ from your music, take a look at your business model and see why it doesn't add up.

As a consumer, I sometimes find myself trying to decide if I should buy a movie on DVD or as a download. Ultimately, I want it on a harddrive because I don't want to have shelves full of DVDs. But if the download costs double of what the DVD costs in the store, I'm having a hard time trying to work out how prices are set by this industry.

And stop limiting where your file is available for purchase!!! All these places don't even allow me buy certain work because they tell me it's not available outside the US... In contrast you could look at the BBC: they released an app that gives people outside the UK access to BBC content for a subscription fee. Instead of spending millions on trying to control who can and who can't see your content, you could focus on getting it into everybody's hands and because of the way the Internet works: your distribution costs will be more than reasonable.

Bottom line: you want to fight piracy? Make your work available everywhere and price things accordingly. This has to come from the industry, not government. It will not kill piracy (nothing will), but you will make more money at the end of the day.

BTW: I paid more for Duff's book because I wanted to read it on a kindle instead of having another dust collector on my shelves after I'm done with it... Thanks for that, too.

I saw the AC/DC wine selection at the bottleshop the other day and apparently Lemmy also wants to be in the wine business (with an Australian wine)... If Slash made wine, what would it be called? Um, Nightrain?

Slash's Snakepit - I Hate Everybody (But You)

Slash & Eric Dover

They filled me full of promises

Till it burned the roof of my mouth

I thought these jokers were my friends

Until they sold me out

Speed freaks at my door

It's all the same to me

Everybody's barkin' up the same ol' tree

I hate everybody but you

And it won't get better soon

You rub me all the right ways baby

You'll probably screw me too

When you were told you're too old

To strip to pay the bills

You moved in with your loser friends

So you could take designer pills

Take it how you want it

Scream that you were framed

Cause you beat

My sister's looks and all

But the sex is just the same

I hate everybody but you

And it won't get better soon

You rub me all the right ways baby

You'll probably screw me too

Give it up, you still want more

I'll fight you to the end, you still want more

I put my heavy faith Into a karma sucker's safe

Give it up Give it up

I hate everybody but you

Seems no matter what I do

I can't help feelin' paranoid

Of what's in it for you

I hate everybody but you

But I got no one else to turn to

If I end up getting screwed

Well I might as well be screwed by you
