In the mid 80's when the band The Replacements heard that their record company was planning on re-releasing all their earlier albums on CD, which was a new medium at the time, the band was opposed to the idea for whatever reason so they broke into the record company's studio, stole all their master tapes, and dumped em' into the river.

The Replacements were also opposed to music videos. When Sire records insisted they make a video for their single "Bastards Of Young" the band made a video of nothing but a single stereo speaker on the screen as the song played. Nothing else.

The classic Kiss album "Kiss Alive" is not a true "live album" as that a lot of the tracks were overdubbed in the studio. This is not a fact, it's only speculation. At the time this double live album was released, Casablanca Records was fledgling extremely badly, and label president Neil Bogart was taking a huge chance and risk on even releasing this album at all. The label didn't have the finances to pay the band much more than meager earnings, and they couldn't do any large amount of corrective overdubbing even if they had wanted to, simply because the budget wouldn't allow it. As such, there is very little done in terms of any studio overdubbing corrections on this record. VH-1 has always been notorious for "inflating the truth" about artists or bands on their Behind The Music show, going so far as to invent scandal or controversy if there is none to be found about the artist(s) in question. Such was the case here. |
