Hello, I have a question about recording the 1987 Nitzer Ebb concert in Hannover. I would like to ask for permission to include it in the you tube channel where the Nitzer Ebb archive from 1987-1995 is being built. The channel is not used to make money. Arek

Hello! I was at the Lust For Youth show at Market Hotel on 4/24/16. I always loved watching back the full concert on YouTube, but it seems that the video has been deleted.

Is there any way I could find the video? Or can the video be found somewhere else?

Let me know!

Thanks,
Nick

Hello, do complete versions of the Gwar and Danzig shows from ’94 exist? If so, is it possible to get them via trade, etc.?

your video of hot water music playing where we belong in immerhausen in 1998 is by far the video that best captures early hwm live. i think i have watched it over 200 times alone. there were more videos from this show and they were all absolutely fantastic, but unfortunately they seem to be missing now, i can only find one! what happened to these, and will they surface again? my favourite videos on the internet!

  The band disapproves of our way of doing things. We have to accept that.

I just saw your steaming of Secret Chiefs 3 at St. Vitus. Tremendous! Simply tremendous! It was the first time I saw Secret Chiefs 3 and was blown away! And just got blown away by you guys! The underground scene needs you guys! We need you guys! Is their a way to donate to help out? When will you post that show on your website? I saw it on youtube. Thanks and take care!

  We deleted Beggars Banquet’s entire catalog due to… lets call it philosophical differences with the label. Matador being a sub-label of BB, their material is similarly impacted. Sorry to disappoint. As you can imagine, we weren’t exactly the driving force here…

  Joe Foster has tons and tons of tapes. If you are looking for footage, he’d be the man to go to.

Hi there –

I’ve viewed the footage of the Universal Order of Armageddon show in Brooklyn numerous times and was wondering if you will be releasing the rest of the show! Was it recorded? Will you be posting online, selling, or anything at all? Please let me know…I never got to see these guys live and these videos are the closest I can get, unless they play more reunion shows!

Thanks,
Pat

Hey i checked out your article on Neurosis and the videos you captured are great. It has the band and their visuals perfectly to see the experience so much better. I was wondering if you can allow me to upload the videos on youtube. I will make sure you are credited with it and put your website link on it, or if you have any other ideas that’s fine too.

Hello! Love your footage of the Lee Perry show the other day. I was there too – historic! I’ve watched it now about a dozen times. Please, could you do another one? A number of the other tracks are at least equally as good.

Thanks,

Bill
