If this band wants to rewrite their history by erasing Eric from it, maybe they should grow some balls and stop playing songs that Eric helped write. Oh yeah, I forgot...then no one would show up at their gigs. Well, besides Mike.
So if someone quits a band, he/she gets cropped out of all old promo photos?tcrock wrote:he did quit right?
Don't give him any ideas, for fucks sake! Etty already impersonates one of the twins when performing live!Tyler Durden wrote: Perry is turning into George Lucas. Can't wait to see Etty's head(s) matted on the siamese twins on the Nothing's Shocking album cover.
Uh, yeah, I think you're right...Six7Six7 wrote:Eric's power is over the sale of those songs for commercial purposes.
Eric doesn't have veto power over what songs the band performs live. And if he did pull something like that, I'd be disappointed in him. He seems above that kind of thing. Two wrongs don't make a right. Well, actually...in this case, it might.Six7Six7 wrote:Eric's power is over the sale of those songs for commercial purposes.
But i don't think they need his permission to play the songs live. Not sure what the deal is with live albums though. He could probably block something like that, but i doubt he would. He gets paid afterall.

he doesn't seem above anything after those sonny interviews, he's just a regular guy with flaws, just like the rest of em.
Why not just post a current pic of the band then? Why go to the effort of posting a pic of the band from 21 years ago and crop Eric out of it? Seems pretty petty to me.Warped wrote:Oh come on, they have lots of photos on the facebook page with Eric in it. Seems like someone wants to stir up some shit here.
Ask Dave and Stephen and also Perry this question...Eric left the band, they move on, so what. Does that mean they all want to forget him, deny him or what? By posting a pic like that?![]()
I am not defending that they (or whoever) cut him out of the pic but i don't think it's such a big deal either. And i am sure Eric gives a shit about it - as well as if they play HIS songs live or not...

I'm familiar with what happened with the Ozzy albums (brutal), but I didn't know about the Van Halen thing (also brutal). Just wait 'til Perry pulls some shit like that. Rhino finally releases remasters of NS and Ritual with Chris Chaney overdubs.Pandemonium wrote:Hardly surprising when you consider who's running the show.
Not nearly as offensive (to fans) as when Eddie Van Halen had the web master of the band's site photoshop Eddie's then-16 year old son (who wasn't even born when the album was recorded) onto the original debut album's cover art in the site's discography section in place of original bass player Michael Anthony. Then there's the all time biggest douche move, Ozzy's wife having the original bass and drums re-recorded on Ozzy's first two solo albums because she wanted to cheat the original players out of royalty money.

I agree. And it was to be expected. It was a normal reaction. But to say that Eric would veto them playing old songs if he could is another story. It just doesn't seem like something he would do.tcrock wrote:Tyler Durden wrote:If you as genuinely offended by that Sonny interview as you sound, I can't help you.tcrock wrote:Tyler Durden wrote:Eric doesn't have veto power over what songs the band performs live.

I don't need your helpnot offended at all, not at all sure where you got that....just obvious the guy has human emotions, and they were evident in his answers.....he doesn't seem to me to be this robot who lives by such a strict code of morals and integrity that some of you like to make him out to be, ya know so "above that type of thing". what I saw was a guy that was a little hurt and/or pissed and looking to vent a little to a sympathetic audience, human nature.
Nobody is implying Eric lives under any sort of strict moral code or whatever. He does seem to have a more honest, straightforward view of his time in the band and how the other guys relate than Perk, Dave and especially Perry. Much of which has been backed up by other insider accounts including Dave. If you want to criticize Eric, slam him for agreeing to do the NINJA tour and Festival dates even though it was already clear that it wasn't going to work between him and Perry when the Reznor sessions fell apart - something Eric himself lamented in the Sonny interview.tcrock wrote:just obvious the guy has human emotions, and they were evident in his answers.....he (Eric) doesn't seem to me to be this robot who lives by such a strict code of morals and integrity that some of you like to make him out to be, ya know so "above that type of thing". what I saw was a guy that was a little hurt and/or pissed and looking to vent a little to a sympathetic audience, human nature.
Looks like Eric borrowed Dave's striped shirt for the photo! As for who made the decision to cut him out...I dunno could be Perry, could be the webmaster of their Facebook page...who knows.creep wrote:no wonder they cut him out with that ugly striped shirt on.
i wonder who makes the decision to cut him out?
i don't think he realized Perry was going to ruin things as bad as he did though.Pandemonium wrote: If you want to criticize Eric, slam him for agreeing to do the NINJA tour and Festival dates even though it was already clear that it wasn't going to work between him and Perry when the Reznor sessions fell apart - something Eric himself lamented in the Sonny interview.
