Visit http://www.MichaelBrandvold.com. Wolfgang Van Halen has been having some back and forth with fans for a while now. But it seems in a recent Twitter thread he might have gone a bit too far with this Twitter reply to a fan, “No one deserves attention. For being a fan or otherwise. Just because I’ve never responded to YOU doesn’t mean I don’t respond to fans. Expecting things just because you’re a fan is just dumb. Nothing worse than an entitled fan. Oof.” — Wolfgang Van Halen This was a reply to this Tweet from a fan Rachel, “Although I gotta say, if I got a nice comment back from him, personally, that would make my freakin month. I just wish he would comment back to his fans sometimes, instead of only commenting to the haters. They don’t deserve the attention. Ya know?” Rachel replied to Wolfgang with, “I am actually so disappointed right now I won’t listen to the album (it’s norm on 24/7 on my car.” Just like that, a supportive fan stopped supporting Wolfgang. It’s a fine line between love and hate and it seems Wolfgang might have pushed this fan over the line.

Visit http://www.MichaelBrandvold.com. This week we are joined by the team of Andrew Eisele and Grammy Award-winning producer Brian Camelio from Sonicly.com, a brand new crowdfunding platform built for musicians. We discuss what makes Sonicly different than other crowdfunding platforms and more importantly how they are different and what they learned from the PledgeMusic failure. Andrew Eisele and Brian Camelio created the solution because there was no crowdfunding platform tailored specifically for the needs of musicians. One-size-fits-all platforms are time-consuming and difficult to set up, offer "all-or-nothing" payment models, focus on monetary targets, emphasize the platform's brand and impose unsustainable subscription publishing schedules. Sonicly's innovative platform has done away with all of these, as they can actually harm musicians, leading to creative burnout and supporter churn.

Episode 456, November 30, 2021 This week we let loose on KISS and Kissonline for the mess they created with the delivery of the KISS Destroyer Box Set or the lack of delivery. Diehard KISS fans ordered the box set from Kissonline the day it was announced and come release day, nothing. Fans who ordered from Amazon were getting their box sets, fans walking into record stores were getting their box set. Fans who ordered directly from KISS got nothing more than a email saying it might not be delivered by December 3rd.

Episode 449, October 5, 2021. Tom Jermann from T42 Design joins us to talk about the KISS Destroyer 45th Anniversary Box Set that he helped put together. The album will be released on standard double black vinyl and limited edition yellow and red double coloured vinyl, as well as a double CD set, but it's the super-deluxe variant that'll get the pulse racing if you're a Kiss fan. The first of four CDs includes the original album newly remastered at Abbey Road, while the second disc features 15 demos from Paul Stanley’s and Gene Simmons’s personal archives. The third CD is packed with studio outtakes, alternate versions, alternate mixes and single edits, while the final CD features a live recording of a show at L’Olympia, Paris, in May 1976. For the Blu-ray disc, king of prog remixes Steven Wilson has created mixes of the original album in Dolby Atmos and 5.1 surround sound, as well as two bonus tracks Beth (Acoustic Mix) and Sweet Pain (Original Guitar Solo). The latter features an Ace Frehley guitar solo that was not released on the original studio album (but did turn up on 2012's Destroyer: Resurrected project).

This evolved into trumpet playing in high school and eventually "loud" rock-n-roll bands by the time college and beyond hit. VNUE is the exclusive licensor of "instant live" pioneer DiscLive, offering high end collectible products such as CDs, USB drives and laminates, that feature our fully mixed and mastered live concert content. VNUE also utilizes our exclusive set.fm technology to help artists and labels render real revenue from live shows by making that content available to the set.fm platform immediately after the show, utilizing our DiscLive expertise. Finally, VNUE is rolling out our Soundstr music identification technology to venues, bars, restaurants, radio stations, and more, to ensure that artists are being properly compensated for music that is performed, and also to ensure that businesses pay by use, rather than expensive blanket license agreements. VNUE is revolutionizing how royalties are paid, and injecting transparency into an otherwise complicated and murky world.
