Red Winger Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 Clonkage "To ensure compliance with its broadcast standards, NBC has the right to decide not to invite back guests who violate those standards and use an expletive during a live entertainment program," the company said in statement. "We will defend the case vigorously and we fully expect to prevail."Guess that means NBC now stands for "No Bad Celebrities." Oar..."Need Better Censors?" "I don't know anything about music.

Ernest Buckley Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 What else is new with these guys? No talent, time to bring out the lawsuits, start the orgies and excess just to get noticed.

Jeff Klopmeyer Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 Hmmm. I'd have to say that it's an interesting point that Bono can say the F word on live TV and be immediately forgiven because, well, he's Bono. But still, it's well within NBC's right to air what they want, especially given the FCC environment of today. They're the ones who'll face these ridiculous morality fines, not the Crue. - Jeff Marketing Communications for MI/Pro Audio My solo music and stuff They Stole My Crayon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The heart of the problem is really with what the FCC is doing to NBC to force such a reaction, but my guess is the decision to ban the Crue has more to do with actions beyond the simple F-word. My guess would be that was just a convenient excuse, otherwise it would have been overlooked like Bono's mistake. "I don't know anything about music.

I don't think this suit is inspired by money. Yes, I`m aware and with Lee back they are back to normal and their fan base will support them again which is cool. I used to be a big fan but I haven`t heard anything good from them in a while so at this point they are just re-hashing their past success and its old. I wish them luck though and hopefully new inspiration for new material. www.ErnestBuckley.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

where02190 Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 they are definitely stockpiling dough, every show is sold out for the first leg of 50+cities, and most of all the second leg. europe, south america and the far east will certanly be huge $ makers for them, and the new(ish) CD is selling well. Merchandising is through the roof for them as usual. maybe this time they'll be smart enough not to party it all away. The bad boys get signled out, Bono gets a wet one. Network and FCC BS.

Murphman Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 System of a Down dropped more than a couple F-bombs during their performance on SNL a couple weeks ago. Only half of them were caught. Maybe the band wasn't big enough to be a newsworthy item. Was the drummer hitting the wrong button again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
