Latest Eddielive.com Email, WTF?????? Options

Taken from my latest update email....

"....It consists of 16 MP3's and 10 music vids that capture some of the incredible intimacy and joy that was shared by all on that wonderful evening in July (a $20 Value!). "

A $20 Value??? Are you freaking kidding me? It get's worse by the minute! I wonder if I can get a second copy for free if I pay separate shipping and handling?

I don't understand what the issue is? Most of the bootlegs Ed is selling cost between $10 (for audio) and $20 (for video) each . Fan club members get to download the London bootleg for free (if you weren't a member it would cost you $20). How is this a problem? There is no shipping and handling, it's a download...

Am I missing something?

Here is the email if anybody missed it:

I was just being sarcastic is all. What ever happend to the love for music that we all used to enjoy? Now, we have to be reminded that a compilation of songs is worth 20 bucks? It's like I've been away for 5 years and now I'm back and don't understand what the hell is going on.

So sad in my opinion. I'm not an Eddieklive member nor do I ever plan on it....don't even plan on buying his solo album. Right now, for me, it's all about TGF.

All marketing says stuff like "a $20 value".

I am less and less inclined to ever listen to anything TGF produces based on the sheer childishness of the ultra-TGF fans.

I don't understand how anyone can be an "ultra-TGF fan" since their first album isn't even mixed yet. No tour dates on the horizon either, as far as I can see.

Yeahh!
And we have no idea how they are going to handle fan club and marketing either, so trashing one half of this divorce for being too commercial when you don't know how the other half is going to behave is a bit premature.

And it's not as if saying "it's a $20 value" when you are giving something away free is evil or even greedy.

I can understand people being annoyed with the price of the pendant and other merchandise but getting your undies in a was about free stuff is just ridiculous

Why would anyone be annoyed at the price of the pendant and other merchandise? That's what they're valued at, so that's how much they cost.

I was able to download +Live+'s MTV Unplugged session for free (thank you!!!!!), but I would have gladly paid $100+ for it at this point, rather than not having it at all.

I think the basic point of my post was missed, at least by some....and that's ok. Hopefully, the EddieKLive lunch box will be released soon!!!!!! YEAH BABY YEAH!!!!!! I'll be the first on my block to have one.

The point of my comment was just that there's some logic about complaining about price when you have to pay for it, but none when it's free.
I wasn't complaining. Others were.
