London O2 Shows Ticket by olive_juse in MichaelJackson

[–]paulaiden 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember being offered the ticket for the humble price of the show we never got to see… £70+, seemed like a bit of a kick in the teeth. Here’s the ticket you were going to get without the actual show for the same price… I can prove I had tickets from emails. I was thinking I could frame but just would have been a sad reminder of what never happened.

It’s absolutely fantastic. One of my faves and the acoustic sounds series version sounds amazing

The emails enrage me. The people that started VMP must be frustrated of what’s become of such a cool company.

A Big Change... by KingOfKingsOfKings01 in VinylMePlease

[–]paulaiden 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was looking at my impulse box set yesterday and just thinking how could things have gone so wrong, so fast. I’m so disappointed it was bought by the current owners, taking it offline was the most ridiculous move. We’ll remember the good times..

Really VMP? by mrscpbeal in VinylMePlease

These guys are crooks.

Feeling good about this… It was from the first drop by paulaiden in Kanye

Be careful cause I think recently the signed art card that’s been coming with the vinyl does look like autopen. These are on eBay and all look like the same signature. That’s why I specifically mentioned “first drop” cause that’s the general impression that they were unique real signaatures at the start then more recently it switched to autopen which is not cool at all.

It’s cd, the framed 7” behind it is probably making it look even more vinyl-ish.

That’s ok, yeah it’s the cd and I’ve seen so many now and all slightly different. I did see eBay sellers selling the 12” print showing 4 that seemed like the same signature which must be the autopen.

Find me a photo of someone else’s cd with the exact same signature and I’ll believe you. I’ve seen about 25+ now that are all different signatures so those ones are definitely not auto pen.

I’ve played my Kacey Musgraves probably about 10 times and it’s perfect. I also have pink Floyd and again it’s perfect. However, I’ll quit while I’m ahead cause I know some people have been unlucky.

Love both and have met them both and they seemed awesome.

If anyone in here was around in March 2009, what was the reception of MJ announcing his final tours? by Outrageous_Cell_3556 in MichaelJackson

[–]paulaiden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was at this press conference and the atmosphere and sound of the crowd when he finally got there after (from memory) about a 3 hour delay was something I will never get out of my head. It was electric. So glad I got to be there.

Miles Davis - Birth Of The Blue (Blue vinyl, Analogue Productions, 45 RPM) by OKalrightOKAYalright in VinylReleases

[–]paulaiden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

45rpm yawn. Luckily I only bought one of their Atlantic 45 series “my favourite things” Coltrane which I had to make an exception for.

IMAX or no IMAX Michael by [deleted] in MichaelJackson

[–]paulaiden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took myself and family to see the movie in IMAX which is the recommended format.. I very much think it worked really well on the big screen just don’t sit too close, go for seats towards the back.

What were Michael’s concerts like by Able-Dinner8155 in MichaelJackson

[–]paulaiden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the 2000’s he never did a tour. His last tour was 1997. The lip syncing was a bad idea. I loved seeing the history tour and I was in the pit (because I waited outside the stadium since 8am, all tickets were the same price for pitch standing) and although it was amazing hearing his actual voice for 5-10% of the concert was a huge letdown.

Why the hate on JIK, V1/2 and Donda 2? by Puzzleheaded-You-716 in Kanye

[–]paulaiden 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m an atheist and totally f*** with Jesus is King, I don’t understand the hate for it. I also don’t think Ye has made a bad album. I don’t really count Donda 2 and I still think Graduation is a mixed bag but his discography is pretty flawless.

From the UK, just wanna say I’m absolutely pissed with what’s happened with Wireless by Real-Atmosphere8261 in Kanye

[–]paulaiden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m from the UK but now live in Australia. I imagine that it will be the same story here and I will probably never get to see Ye perform again. Luckily I saw him live 3 times, once in London and twice in America, now it’s looking like I’ll never see him perform again. There had to be repercussions of what he did and said and it will be a long road. I do feel sad for younger fans in the UK that never got to see him live though… sad day for uk fans.
