Lmfao, this reminded me of a story of an upstart ski company that basically began and died within a few days. Years ago at SIA, which is the ski and snowboard industry trade show, equivalent to E3, a new company had a booth. At the 3rd day during the opening, people were still setting up as in years past you work during the day and towards the end start partying. Anyway, its not uncommon to have celebrities attend the show, even those that have never ski/board as this trade show was held in Vegas. So, as the reps of this company was setting up their products, one being a pair of skis that on the graphics was the iconic tongue sticking out of one of the member’s of KISS. Like clockwork, as the rep is setting the second ski on display, Gene Simmons walks by and notices what’s on the ski. After confronting the owner of the company, they took the skis down for the remainder of the the show and it was the last time anyone in the industry heard from them.
Many people fail to realize Musicians such as Gene Simmons of KISS and James Hetfield of Metallica and many others are business men first, Celebrities second.
Biggest example is Marshall Mathers AKA Eminem, who now produce records for other artist.
You don’t stay successful in the music industry for decades without knowing your way around how business and IP law works.
Yeah, they will finally get the last few hundred Bison Dollars out of circulation in 12/03/2099. The MX$ catches on pretty fast afterwards, according to my Quantum History professor.
You know…I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone try to fuck with so many companies at the same time…
