paradoxal reacted to Zeus in Live limited releases
Supply and demand.
Also, for most indie bands overseas fans are not of the utmost importance. Some indie bands give no fucks about overseas fans at all, and why should they? We are an unreliable source of income. Indie bands have little money to work with, so they need to cater activities and funds to where they get the most return for their money to continue band activities. Teenagers halfway across the globe do not factor into that at all.
If enticing people to come to your concert by releasing a CD available only at that concert brings fans into the hall, more power to them! At the end of the day, continuing band activities takes prime precedence. I don't like them as much as the next person but it's a more viable way to boost ticket sales than releasing a single in multiple types. In that context I can understand why they exist. If the song were made more easily available at a later date, there would be little incentive for live-limited releases. They would lose almost all their "appeal".
Now what I don't like are predatory practices in which you have to spend way more money than the song is subjectively worth but this isn't common. A good example of this is during Lycaon's erotic era, where you had to attend three different concerts and bring the stubs to the tour final to get a CD. That sounds like a gigantic pain in the ass and they're using the lure of an exclusive song to get fans to part with money. This kind of activities I don't like, but I can't find it within myself to care if I'm not even the target audience to begin with.
Really, the only reason why none of us like them is because it's a pain in the ass for us to acquire most of them. But I don't remember anyone complaining when ALSDEAD released Fragile only in Europe during a tour so it goes both ways.

paradoxal reacted to Koike in Show Yourself (again)
It's been ages since I've been able to say that I'm happy with my face, but now that my acne medication has been rolling for ~month, it looks promising. Still 5 months to go, so I hope it will turn out even better.

If you have an issue with how the staff does their job and suggestions on how they could improve, there's a report button just for that. There is no need to insult other members like Rocketeer who have done absolutely nothing to you either. It seems to have escaped my notice yesterday, but I'd like to have this addressed now that I have the chance. Not everyone gets along with everyone and that's fine, but there's no need to publicly insult and or involve people who have nothing to do with this. Also hitsuji-hime, the staff has decided for this to be your last warning. Next time you step out of line there will be consequences.
Also the staff is fairly aware you, Pretzels, have issues with nekkichi and honestly, the two of you need to either 1) Keep it to PM or 2) If one has blocked the other, stop pitting your fights on the forum. It's very tiring and doesn't belong here. If you're going to chase eachother through threads to start arguments, I won't have any other option than to start hiding all of those posts or (if it gets terribly out of hand) start monitoring your posts before they're allowed to be published. What is going on between you two doesn't concern MH, nor is this the platform for the two of you to continue this feud.
Now, just go on with...I don't know, sadness over Lycaon's disbandment or posting pictures of James May, whatever floats your boat. As long as it's not pointless drama.
