Just want to throw it out there, would be nice if this Dane was around more often...

I'm sure you posted it a million times, but what exactly do you do in the entertainment business?

For instance, I was a huge Led Zeppelin fan, but I pretty much instantly switch the station if they come on. I think they're a great band. Their music is super important. I can hardly listen to them now though.
I'm the same way. I did listen to a dozen Def Leppard songs this afternoon after seeing this thread though. I'd imagine that will last me for quite a while.

I was at Universal from 1993-1997 and Paramount from 1997-2003. I continue to work in the music side independently to this day.

What is your question, exactly?

Pete Willis WAS fired and replaced with Phil Collen because he was an alcoholic, late for rehearsals, songwriting sessions, etc. The guy sells real estate now.

Joe didn't want Rick Allen fired nor Steve Clark or Savage fired. That's complete and utter nonsense.

After Clark's death, they only wanted a British guitarist, due to their chemistry, so no American guitarists were even considered. They eventually settled on Vivian Campbell, but he's only a paid player and not a full member. The runner up is a very good friend of mine that went on to work with Alanis Morrisette for years and is now a successful producer in his own right.

And quite honestly, he's a better guitarist.
Campbell is not a 'full' member? He was brought on over 20 years ago.

Producer, musician, talent scout, agent, engineer?

Hired gun. He gets a salary when they tour and that's it. The guy plays in local clubs with shitty cover bands.

This isn't uncommon. For example, Zakk Wylde was an employee and never shared in royalties. He was paid when he recorded and toured. That's it.

Are you being serious or just acting like an asshole?

Serious. I have a friend who is an audio engineer for Warren Miller and he has some amazing stories from over the years.

They're a pop band with tons of vocals and vocal harmonies.

Pop.
And Joe Elliott sounds absolutely horrible live.

Oh, that's cool!

I worked in the music division of MCA/Uni/Geffen and Paramount's Famous Division (which has since been sold to Sony).

I'm not going to disclose everything in this thread but yes, I continue to work in the music business to this day. PM me if you're serious and will promise to keep any info private.

Warren Miller films kick ass and he's always been kind to emerging artists.

He's getting old. He didn't sound that good 25 years ago, either.

Have you heard Geddy Lee live lately. Yikes. It's a good thing Rush is still excellent instrumentally.
