FabriPav Posted March 7, 2015 Author Share Posted March 7, 2015 Wouldn't it be great if you had the option to get rid of the U2 album, oh yeah you can... Oh that makes it ok then. "We gave you a virus, sorry! Click here and you can delete it. All good?" I really don't want them to play at the event. Not because I don't like Apple. It's just that it feels an ungenuine thing to do, with all the "fuck the corporations!!!! You're all drones!!!! Brainwashed!!!!" vibe the album might have.

I just want this album/single ASAP and if they have to be hypocrites for that to happen then so be it At the end of the day it won't detract from the quality of the music and It's not like they haven't been hypocrites in the past...

heyjackk Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I doubt this is what he meant, because Uprising fits your description yet got huge airplay. It could only really be the opposite option, given this. Uprising wasn't so direct though really, it as pretty vague as to who "they" were that matt was talking about. Maybe he means this one as a more direct, to the point way of being offensive without being derogatory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatchHellBlues Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I think the Apple/U2 analogy people are looking for is best represented in the form of somebody putting food in your fridge without you asking them to. You may like the food but that isn't the point... Amarite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kueller Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 It's like a total stranger entering your house to put shit food in your fridge and not caring that they entered your house randomly. But then using iTunes is like renting a house where the landlord can walk in whenever he wants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brainwashed!!!!" vibe the album might have. I really don't think they'll play the new track, but Starlight or something. I think it'll be old pop track --> Tim Cook "New Muse track exclusively on iTunes folks after this show!" --> drop Or, Tim Cook "New Muse track available now! Muse are here to perform it for you!" --> drop --> performance. I think the former is more likely if anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FabriPav Posted March 7, 2015 Author Share Posted March 7, 2015 Nah, no way they'd play an old song if they're actually there. It'd 100% be the new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah probably, if they did play an 'old' one Madness is my guess. I suppose they could be there to play a song and just announce the album and release date officially though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopix Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 If they play the Apple thing and only play Madness and say Starlight or something. Fuck's sake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatchHellBlues Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Yeah, I guess it's more like taking a shit in their sink. No, it's not because it's illegal. However much you may dislike what they did it was legal so the analogy doesn't work. Also which 'sink' is this you are referring to, do they just collectively have one big sink that I'm unaware of at present Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatchHellBlues Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 On a level of social conduct, I think the analogy works. No, public exposure/defication is not permitted. In the iTunes contract somewhere it will say that they are able to do what they did. Doesn't work Are we really arguing about this, its going waaaay off tangent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
