Good old BOF

General discussion about the band, live shows, its recordings or bootlegs, etc. You can buy, sell or trade here. You can even post eBay links. If it's about the Bunnymen, it goes here.

They seem to be trying to do right.

Now it's a celebration! :lol:
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, I kinda got the impression that gogp doesn't have a FuckFace account. I can't quite place my finger on it though, why I feel this way...

I think he still sends telegrams for occasions of importance.

Have only just seen this thread then looked at the links provided here and EATB website & twitter. Unbelievable!
What a demeaning horrible way to treat fans that are actually showing the highest form of respect by attempting to cover their songs.
Regardless of how bad or good they are to highlight and single out someone for the worst cover version is cruel.

This is a new low for any artist or public figure to stoop to.

I cannot believe the 'our songs' comment and spelling of 'looser' just cracks me up.

They should have enough balls to officially apologise for this and blame someone very quickly and make it very known it had NOTHING to do with the band.

Certainly hope it didn't anyway.

Now if only I could get into this facebook thing . . .

So, do you think they should post an apology, rather than just delete the thread and pretend like it never existed?

The moment they're called out on it, they'll say somebody hacked their FB page and they've got their lawyers on the case...


I might be wrong but I don't think its a big deal, its not like stealing money from the band and fans is it or is it ? You tell us Ivan.

You don't think publicly ridiculing your fans and inviting other fans to vote on it isn't a big deal?

As for stealing money off the band & fans 'There's no business like show business'.

A common day occurrence in the music industry.

In fact careers are made out of it.

Artists inviting fans to ridicule other fans who have attempted to cover their songs is a new music industry low.
