If this miracle is somehow pulled off and everyone were to chip in, etc. Will it be realeased publicly. I'd like to think so, right?

if we throw 1000 or 1500 bucks together and buy that thing, of course it?ll be shared publicly

I'll donate a penny. Maybe a dollar. 

[BluesGNR]

$3000 will buy his ENTIRE collection.  Interviews, Rehearsals, etc... I asked for an itemized list of eactly what he has that we'd be getting for the money.  I'll keep you updated.

We started out at $1000 then $1500, now it's $3000? Forget it. I ain't paying a penny for a 15 year old material. He knows you desperately want this stuff so he's tring to stick it to ya'.  Have fun spending your money.

$3000 will buy his ENTIRE collection.? Interviews, Rehearsals, etc... I asked for an itemized list of eactly what he has that we'd be getting for the money.? I'll keep you updated.

I won't spend $3000 on a collection.  I didn't spend $3000 on over 310 concerts of audio and 30some video... there's no way I'm putting it up for less than 3 hours worth of material. 

For 1500 for the entire collection, I'll talk.  But I'd expect to make some of that money back through contributions from other fans before it gets shared.... its just too much money.

Fuck the Ritz, and fuck the VMA 2002. Bring on Texas pro shot.

too bad he only has a few clips of it and not the entire thing.

I'll let you know what he has as soon as he tells me.... He'll drop his whole collection for about $3000.. I'm going to try to talk him down, but we'll see how it goes.

[bigbri]

I couldn't get through this whole thread. Does he have screenshots? How about small clips? I'll bet a lot of it is worthless crap.

I'll say one thing. If Bucket is unmasked in any of the VMA stuff, I hope he keeps it forever.

[Bandita]

$3000? Are you insane??

[BluesGNR]

$3000? Are you insane??

It's not just VMA's.. its VMA, Ritz 88 rehearsal, interviews, other proshot material, etc.  I dont have his list yet, but he's compiling it for me.

But his list consists of only MTV obtained footage, correct?

Hence nothing new because the only recent appearance on MTV was Axl the other day. 

So unless he has like 21672762137627 hours worth of super-rare footage I can't even imagine forking over this kind of money for it. 

I have a lot of stuff of GNR off MTV in a box somewhere of my old videotapes from the 1980s to early 90s.  I can only assume he has some of this same stuff, including extra rehearsal videos etc....

If it actually aired on MTV at some time it isn't really rare, so I am curious as to see what kind of footage he comes up with-

[Mr. Redman]

^He's got a lot of stuff that's unedited, instead of the edited version shown on air.

[BluesGNR]

Right on.  We'll have to set up a poll to determine if it's worth his asking price and then a fund to buy it......

[jaypayton]

we also need to know the generation of the stuff he is selling..is it low gen or high gen crap..........he once told me that some footage is shaky....and forget 2002 already..i dont need another reminder of that horror show......

[Crazyman]

Oh snap...he's online right now! 

[Mr Bootlegs]

He told me the pictures are all crystal clear, apart from Axl/U2 proshot.

[Mr. Redman]

Fuck the Ritz, and fuck the VMA 2002. Bring on Texas pro shot.

too bad he only has a few clips of it and not the entire thing.

IMO it'd still be better then Ritz n' VMA's. Something new n' different.

[suicide]

Strange. He worked for MTV, so the stuff he wants to sell technically still belongs to MTV. If I stole some stuff from the company I work for and tried to sell it, I think I could end up in jail.
Don't think MTV just gives "presents" like this to its employees, it's not the salvation army!

are you suggesting we turn him in? i offered him 1500 for the collection and never heard back, so i guess that's a "no". there's no way in hell i'll pay 3 grand for it. fuck that. he can keep it. i won't miss something i never had.
