原文在這，來自U2log.com： http://u2log.com/archive/2008/06/radiohead_courageous_says_bono.php 《"Radiohead courageous", says Bono》 Bono - exercising some damage control - has written to the NME to say he thinks "Radiohead were courageous for 'In Rainbows' release" in response to Paul McGuinness' earlier comments regarding Radiohead's "In Rainbows" pay-what-you-like release. McGuinness, who controversially believes ISP's facilitate music pirating and are thus robbing artists, had claimed the experiment was a failure and U2 wouldn't be following their example. （NME報導McGuinness老大說法的新聞在這：http://www.nme.com/news/u2/37221 另外還有他今年初在坎城的演講全文：http://0rz.tw/0f4iu） Bono writes he disagrees with his manager, and says Radiohead are 'courageous and imaginative in trying to figure out some new relationship with their audience.' An example U2 hopefully will follow. Perhaps they could pick Trent Reznor's brain. The full letter will appear in today's edition of the printed version of the NME. ========================================================================= 簡而言之，電台頭去年發行《In Rainbows》專輯讓大家自由付費下載的方式看在U2的經紀人Paul McGuinness眼裡認為是敗仗一場因為「就算它可以（近乎？）免費地被取得，還是有百分之六十到七十的人選擇以非法手段下載它」（我是覺得，既然選擇這樣的手法，那銷售狀況上何謂成功何謂失敗就很難定論了但McGuinness老大的說法也不失中肯，畢竟電台頭已經是超級天團而對一般還在掙扎成名與否、飯都不一定吃得飽的樂團而言這麼做顯然太冒險）所以他表示「U2今年十月可望發行的新專輯並不打算採用這種方式」不過「我們顯然會嘗試利用所有可能的科技來讓這張專輯的發行越有趣越好」 ========================================================================= 但這樣的發言總之還是挺刺耳的，我想應該造成了某些不滿吧所以Bono這就現身來滅火了（原文稱其是在做"damage control"）表示他認為電台頭的作法是「英勇而具有創意的」且樹立了一個「希望U2也能夠效法」的範例 ========================================================================= 看了這則新聞我的感想是：總之十月一定要把專輯交出來就好........... -- 「天使的眼淚滴落人間，但那幸福終究不夠灑在每一個人身上。」時光之硯部落格 http://blog.yam.com/YenC 琢磨影音, 琢磨文字, 琢磨自己的地方 PTT2個人板 Inkstone -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 61.57.149.13
