I don't claim to be in the right in owning those bootlegs, but nor can I say that i'm doing Meat any harm in owning them.
These are things that are not available officially, and if they ever were then the boots would go in the bin and be replaced by official releases.
It certainly can't be claimed that Meat has lost out on an official sale to me because i've made do with a bootleg rather than buy a song on official release 
I don't know if i've mentioned this before, but I loved what happened with the Roy Orbison bootlegs.
He was able to secure the rights to 4 of the best quality and well known bootlegs, and they were then sold officially as a box set.
I would LOVE for Meat to do something like that 
The fans got the music they wanted, while money went into Roy's pocket (where it was deserved) while he also got to have an effect on the bootlegging of his concerts. |
exactly neil!
I would pay whatever if meat decided to say "hey, my late 80's shows were utterly fantastic. Why dont I pick a few shows from 1987, 1988, 1989, and 1993 that i think are my best and release them in their entirely!" - then out pops a boxset. Itll be sure to have the parental advisory sticker on, cause he cursed alot :)
If only :')
seriously hope meat takes note
