There is actually a huge Black Market for Nazi Memorabilla, a much higher demand than The bunnymen's and most bans.......

And they didn't let tax issues intervene with their touring plans. Their European tour of the late 1930's to mid 1940's is proof in itself, and they didn't even have an album to plug.

Lemmy form Motorhead has a huge collection of Nazi stuff which he calls his 'pension plan'.Not quite sure the Jews would term it such but there you go.Odd.

I'd love to see Mac's face when he swaggers out stage at the next gig and the entire front row were wearing them.

That's not true, did you ever get a copy of Herr Hitler And The Third Reich's "Die Lebensraum" that came out in the late 1930s. It was bloody awful. I didn't like it much as it Joseph Goebbels was missing on a lot of the tracks playing his distinctive, trademark glockenspiel. Still, there were some brainwashed Germans that thought it was better than "Barbarossa" released in 1941.

Hah! I would too ... and you know, if you really want one of those shirts, you can create one at Kinko's. Prolly other copy shops too.

It was discussed here in a thread and I know that Peter and others visit here and read posts. At the time I thought it was the Elvis people but a quick search turned up all sorts of Elvis merchendise thatb was still up.

It was close to the time that DimeADozen also pulled all the Bunnymen torrent bootlegs shortly after a thread was started here about a bootleg of Albert Hall. The link was also posted on the BOF and then removed. DimeADozen said they received an e-mail from Peter that it wasn't allowed by the band. That started a whole controversy here and at at the BOF. Peter then apparently sent an e-mail saying he didn't send an e-mail to ban those torrent bootlegs. I contacted DimeADozen and asked about it and they the e-mail the received to unban them originated from the same IP and domain as the the e-mail to ban them. So it was either Peter for himself acting on the Bunnymen's behalf and ended up catching some flack for it or someone who really knows how to spoof e-mails did it. I think I know my answer.

To be fair to Peter he probably doesnt know whether he's coming or going with the Bunnymen management.If Mac and Will got more involved on the forums then we would a)be more informed and b)more respectful.Richard Hawley moderates his own forum.

True. For one thing it would have cut back on everything being spun positively, sometimes almost comically. I thought Will used to frequent the BOF forum a while back and he also had his own forum, or was that another "the official line is" written by someone else?

One great thing about me is that I don't have the guts to talk shit directly to someone's face. If I met Insanejane in person I would be all like, "Hey what's up girl!"

Goes doubly for Mac, since we have proof that he can, at the very least, beat up a lady sitting on the toilet. As an opponent I probably present an only slightly greater challenge. (Unless I get in a lucky slap during one of his micro-blackouts.)

That may all be true. I'm just not sure why he has to be such a weasel about it and act like someone hacked his account or that he didn't ban Noel Burke's name from the BOF and stuff like that.

That purse you carry has some punch to it as those two sailors in New York can attest to.
With the Force as his ally he did battle with the Dark Lord. And he showed the measure of a true Jedi at a place called "The Death Star" where hope for the Galaxy was reborn. May all who struggle against tyranny hold his memory in their hearts

Well, they ended their sentences with extraneous prepositions. Someone had to do something.

You would do the same when faced with bad-ass bunnymen fans. You just get out of there however you can.
