Fair do's Jimmy,
its not worth entertaining the idea really......the remarks are both sad and pathetic. Its definitely very easy to abuse people from behind a PC screen, must give a warm feeling inside or something...On the whole though my experience this year on BRY has been a rewarding one and I've come across some great people.....
But look to me its like this, Tribute bands are commonplace, the fact is people go and see them (not my thing by the way) so wheres the harm, its not like someone would forgo seeing Pearl jam because Frank here is on the same night doing a tribute...if anything the tribute act is nothing but a homeage and huge compliment to the band.....for fucks sake Eddie Vedder used to front a tribute band (if Antony Kiedis is to be believed)....so I dont see an issue there....
secondly, the poster isnt being made for profit, its a bit of fun and to support a hobby,
thirdly - by all accounts, Brad is ok with it.
Fourthly, is there any need to respond in that way? if you dont agree say dont offer your help, the guy was making a friendly request....
what the hell is the problem over there.... we're talking about a bunch of guys who (thankfully) are trading eddie Vedders solo tour openly, very contrary to Vedders request - and no one seems to care because they want to get their hands on it...me included, but then to say this is so bad because the art is being ripped is insane
