Just wondering. Some bands are vehemently anti-live music TRADING (everyone should be against the selling of such material), some bands don't care, as it's seen as simply another way to spread their music & grow their following.
Does anyone here know Anthrax's position re: audio/video "bootlegs"?

I find it hard to find any other than Anthrax bootlegs than the NFV-show and lots of bootlegs from 1998-2000.
Today I got the MOMD DVD and Live in Texas (2000) bootleg video - a TV rip.
I watched 5 minutes of MOMD and 25 minutes of that Texas show.
I'll just say, long live bootlegs.

I have a DVD from Germany in which you can see Scott Ian And Joey Belladona playing some Anthrax tunes, as long as some Metallica stuff too. The DVD is Called "Anthrax jamming with Cliff Burton??" and that because there's a guy playing guitars that looks a lot like Cliff. Video is a high gen, but still watchable. So wonder if somebody knows something about this gig.

No. I asked Scott once if it was Cliff, and he said what I told you. I suppose if you meet Scott in person you can ask him.

Hey Gordy!
Really? Thanks for letting us know. How about a link?MadeInNewJersey said:
Did Scott Ian make them remove the thousands of soundboard recordings from the archive??? http://www.archive.org/audio/etreelisting-browse.php?collection=etree

Well there's no "link" to a place that has loads of free Anthrax recordings for download; you just have to come across them, either via BitTorrent or via trading the old-fashioned way. While I don't have a TON, I've managed to accumulate 15 or so, ranging from 1986 through 2005; I have several DVDs as well.
The problem really lies in the FILE TYPE people often wind up trading; lots of "non-collectors" look for, and subsequently spread MP3s, i.e. lossy music files, which fucks it up for everyone who DOES care about this sort of thing.
Now as for the archives, I'm not sure what you were asking...the only band who removed their SBDs was The Grateful Dead, and I hardly think this forum cares about that.

Amen to that!
But trying telling people here that, and they just tell you bootlegs are not supposed to be good quality, so further degrading the quality is not a problem. bah!

I know, it's why I won't bring it up (anymore); it's also why I will only trade with a small handful of people I know and trust already.

There are alot of good recordings that are very limited to begin with. Audience recordings from walkman style recorders from the mid 80's contain moments otherwise un captured. Priceless!! I'm all for keeping it as high quality as possible but don't overlook the magic captured on cassette.
Sounds to me like you are a bootleg hoarder and a snob.
Would you let someone taste the dank even though all they have is schwag? All the traders I run into on the net seem too picky about what they will accept in trade. They make these big fancy sites to brag about their stash that they don't want to share. It was a much friendlier atmosphere when traders BNP'd cassettes back and forth. Now its too easy and really special audience recordings are overlooked for the lifeless/lossless SBD!
Now as for the archives~ it was a joke you got it!

You're right that there are some great audience recordings from ages ago. You're also right about hoarding, BUT for many people it's not worth the effort to trade if all you're going to get in return is crap. You have to limit your trading somehow.
Personally, I don't go out of my way to acquire bootlegs very much anymore. I have literally hundreds of recordings I don't listen to at all. But if someone were to make, say, an Iron Maiden pro-shot video available through bit torrent file sharing, then I will definitely get that.

I'm not so much a hoarder per se, I just don't trade much anymore because I seriously can't be bothered to have to check every single show I get for quality, source lineage, etc. And like jdelpi above me just said, I have SO much right now, I really only even bother looking for DVDs and the occasional new show from a current tour.
As for would I share? Absolutely, I always BnP for people and just trust they won't go encoding the shows to 128kbs MP3 and spreading them far & wide, lol.
FYI, you can view my entire rock/metal list at http://db.etree.org/madeinnewjersey
Shoot me a PM if you'd like a BnP of some stuff.

I know you have brought this up before as I posted links to an MP3 anthrax gig.
Well today I was finally able to join Dimeadozen after months of trying and there is some cool stuff on there, I just finished downloading Bad Company from 1975.
This is a great site and horns to you fine people for pointing me in that direction
