R. I.P. Tom!

Two interesting articles on two different sites.

I read it on somewhere. Pretty crazy to think that if that guy had had his way, everything would be different! That Rod guy deserves a medal for metal!

I read it on Blabber yesterday then I read it on MI today and thought it was the same article but when I read the MI one I realised the problem

Pretty crazy to think MI could get away with it and still call themselves a metal site.

But I agree Rod deserves recognition for such a change at the very least.

 

[redfly]

Oh are the two articles different?

 

[Slammed]

From what I can tell there is only one difference in the two articles but it's a major screw up on MI's behalf and the rest is quoted word for word.

 

[redfly]

I suppose I have to look now lol

 

[Slammed]

When you see it it's too obvious to ignore. It's easy to say MI were lazy and it's poor journalism but to me I can't see how they did it by mistake. To me it has to be done deliberately, but as to why, who knows.

 

[redfly]

LOl! yeah what the hell. What was the point in wording it like that?

 

[Slammed]

I seriously can't figure out why. It makes them look stupid. I know many of these sites cut and paste stories and generally it's accepted practice as long as they put the appropriate credits and links in place. But the change information like that is just strange.

I know some legends like Sebbie Bach claim MI deliberately changed facts to make him come out as the bad guy and start fights but even if that stuff is true that's not what they've done here. They've deliberately tried to change history and I can't see to what gain because there aren't many fans that wouldn't pick the problem.

 

[redfly]

Maybe there's no one in charge over there lol

 

[Slammed]

An early April Fools joke?

They've actually change the image and the text now. There is no apology or explanation but the comments are still there to show their mistake.

 

[Slammed]

Another day another Sebbie comment. I'm not sure what's worse the mouth on the guy or the pictures of him.
Micheal Sweet looks like a bit of a poser in the picture here but at least he doesn't look like Sebastian.
They are both mouth pieces for social media but it seems Seb doesn't like his social media douchebag medal taken off him.

Bach is starting to look like he's brothers with Tom Hunting from Exodus.

 

[Slammed]

Poor Tom!!

According to MI Bruce Dickinson was the secret to their early guitar sound.

Classic line up plus or minus a few.
