You would think Líam, or at least the record company, would care about a decent backing band.....any second year, or even first year music student could play any part to an Oasis, BDI, Noël or Líam, song, which is somewhat of which makes Oasís songs great, at least......

God bless.

I guess endstation got banned, because of a comment that insulted mimmihopps. Other people that wrote similar insults did not get banned, I guess because they never raise any criticism about Liam etc, but I guess this is how this forum works and I will not start a fight over that.. but I think this is an interesting discussion and since endstation will not be able to reply I will try instead...

you might be right about your assessment. I might be naive. However, as I wrote in another thread, capitalist firms and shareholders in partnership with artists often choose strategies with low risk and a high return, instead of strategies with a higher risk and even greater return (if successful). That’s basic industrial organization theory and the empirical evidence supports this view. It’s not really ”bonkers” (as one user called it) to think that Warner thinks that way, it’s simply a quite plausible strategy for risk averse investors and shareholders. Is it bonkers to point out that e.g. private capitalist firms do not invest, and historically have not invested, enough money in R&D for revolutionary new drugs (most huge breakthrough drugs have resulted from government funded basic research). They spend most R&D money on lifestyle drugs. However, in that case, I guess it’s more about positive externalities that are not captured by individual private agents. But the main point remains: Market actors often choose strategies that are good for risk averse or risk neutral shareholders, but there is no law saying that this is the best strategy for Liam in the long run. Of course, it’s better than not having any partnership with Warner at all. But he might still have gained more if Warner chose another strategy. I guess this was actually what endstation tried to say in one earlier comment in the other shockwave video thread..

now, it is also possible that the actual strategy of Warner IS actually the best one for Liam and that you are 100% correct... but I guess(?) it’s intersting to think about

Calling "mimi" retarded person and then asking why this member has been banned?? similar insults all over the forum?? are you kidding me??C´mooon!

It's not good to kick the fuck out of anyone. Full stop. 

Yeh, if you're gonna start, then racists are as good a place as any. But violence achieves nothing except more violence. 

So yeh, I have a problem if an organisation supports violence. I don't care how righteous they think they are.
