You have that with every album that gets released. It makes sense. The problem was that there were so many different versions that no one was even able to keep track of just the different vinyl versions for example. Also I can't wait for the day when this is not a common theme in every other thread anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GD straight up has Chester on it. They milked it, they milked the LPA, they laughed at LP fans, at Mike and kind of, at Chester. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PT has some different editions (standard CD, vinyl, Artbook+CD) while "Amends" has tons until i'm lost count. the problem is that GD fans never ever going to admit that it was cashgrab is sad. 1 hour ago, Trumtram said: Well, Grey Daze was supposed to get back together for this project so I guess that one is a bit unfair. Still, having all these items for purchase remains overkill, though. by "get back", it was just a reunion show, not remaking/reproduced the entire discography. with OML, the band is active touring at that time. i dont Chester will have time for re-recording all of the stuff.

The caps lock was to make clear that thing, no sarcasm. About admitting the album was cashgrab, I already pointed out countless times that even if I don’t think it was a cash grab, I couldn’t care less as long as the music is fucking great. I’m not gonna spam again this thread with Amends, cause it’s not on topic. About GD getting back with Chester, who knows what could have happened? Maybe in 2018 Chester would have entered in studio with them after OML tour was over.

Hmm? I always was under the impression that there were plans (maybe not finalized, but still) of them getting together und re-record stuff. I mean, sure, OML would have taken up most of Chesters capacities for 1-2 years. Sorry, if I got something wrong here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally got the vibe and feeling that Chester wanted to do something more with GD, not quoting Sean because it’s obvious that he says Chester wanted to reunite GD so he’s not a totally reliable source, but Chester himself said he wrote stuff maybe for solo projects or else. Who knows, we are not in their mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Amends project (titled "New Sun Tomorrow" at that time) was originally started because in early 2017 Chester had meetings with (at least) Sean (Sean says other members too) about re-recording music. This is a statement of fact and this has been confirmed to me by sources other than Sean that I trust 100%. That part should not be in any sort of dispute at all, and I'll throw the full support of LPLive behind that one statement by Sean. Can't confirm or deny the VOCALS part of it but Chester was absolutely fully involved in the re-recording of the album (whether instrumentals and vocals together, or just instrumentals, or however they were doing it) before he passed. That doesn't need to be something that is denied just because we are angry at GD themselves - this was something Chester was actually doing. At the time the reunion show was announced, Jason Barnes and Mace had already shared photos of them working in the studio with Sylvia Massy - again, this was before Chester passed and was 100% with his knowledge and direct involvement. Due to Sean saying they were going to send a producer out with Chester on the OML tour for this project, we believe vocals were going to be re-recorded - yes. Anyway - didn't mean to derail the thread but needed to say that because that isn't something that needs to be up for debate about the facts.

JZLP-NaughtyNottingham Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 In conclusion 🟥Anything that Grey Daze releases is a cashgrab no matter what 🟥Mike can do cashgrab stuff and it wont be called a cashgrab (NFT, overpriced products, trendy collabs) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is a Picasso painting a cashgrab? to put an exagerated example. Mike is using his own image and name to sell, GD are using Chester's and LP's. Thats why in this forum people kind of dislike GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s different IMO. But as I said, as long as the music is fucking great, I don’t care, and Amends is one of the best LP related things of the last decade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trumtram Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Thanks Mark, for clearing that up, really appreciate it! The whole NFT thing: Even if we are puzzled by it and think it's stupid, Mike was always ambitious with new technology since day 1. LP were pretty much revolutionary in the way they used the internet back in 1999/2000. So that doesn't surprise me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk man.. glad you enjoy it and worship it tho I worship nothing, couldn’t care less about the album sales or the merch, I just think the album is fucking great. 😊 If Mike drops a song that I consider better than anything on Amends I’ll be happy about it and I’ll publicly say that, it’s not that I’m blindingly defending something for the sake of it. Personally, I purchased the standard CD and the deluxe vynyl + book + CD edition of Amends so it’d be fake as fuck and hypocritical to criticize for being a cash grab something I was super glad to purchase, that’s all. 😊 I’ll tell you more: I think Over Again and Promises I can’t keep are better songs than WITE, B12 and Sickness on Amends, so basically I think you can’t say that I’m blindingly doing a Mike vs Grey Daze thing.

lpliveusername Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 I'm going to start removing Grey Daze posts from unrelated threads. You guys sound like children. "GD is cashgrab" "no, it isn't" "yes, it is" "no, it isn't" "yes, it is" Everybody already knows you disagree with each other, just stop replying. If you want to continue this shit show you're free to do so in the privacy of your PMs where it won't bother other forum members. Please don't reply to this post either. Just end this discussion already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
