Yes, the old we have evidence but of course we are not going to show it.
It's not unusual for China to withhold things from their own people and the world, they're known to be a very secretive government. They're also a government that likes to stick it to the US every chance they get. They challenge US naval power with their subs, and they build relationships with countries the US doesn't get along with. So them confirming the US's greatest accomplishment is kind of a big deal.
They're also not the only third party that has confirmed the moon landing. In the 90's, after the Cold War ended, Russia confirmed that they had tracked Apollo 11 on radar until it was out of range. In 2008, Japan sent a probe to the moon, released new high resolution pictures, and the landscapes matched those of the apollo images. There might be more, but that's all the comes to mind right now.

I feel this is a good rebuttal of the "it's all a sound studio" theories.
So my problems with it being fake are:
1. It's actually more plausible with 60s tech to do it than to fake it. Doing it requires strapping yourself onto a zillion tons of TNT and hoping for the best. Faking it well requires video toys they didn't have.
2. Why fake it 9 times? Why not do it once and declare there's nothing there? Every time they fake it the level of cover up required gets more implausible.
3. Surely the soviets or someone else would have called them on their BS if there was even the slightest chance it was fake - given the rivalry at the time.
Great video Monkey! Very enjoyable, and fantastic point he made at the end.

Holy fuck! I'm going to pass on buying this on vinyl... unless it's released in the US at a more reasonable price. No way I'll pay more than $60

I have to give this a listen soon - I loved their last album.
#127 Re: The Sunset Strip » Megadeth Mega Thread » 489 weeks ago
I need to give Dystopia a listen. So strange that you can sell less than 50k and crack the top 3. No one buys music anymore, its all spoitify, pandora, etc.. stream whatever you want, why buy it I guess.
Yep. I subscribe to Spotify, so I haven't bought this yet, even though I love the album and have played it at least 10 time already. I'll eventually get around to buying it, but I'm in no hurry. I'll probably wait for it to come out on vinyl.
Great album though, real return to their 90's sound. \m/ \m/

I don't think you need to be a guitarist to hear that Kirk's timing was off and he hit dud notes too.
Maybe I just wasn't paying enough attention, downside of steaming a concert, I was web surfing while watching it. :-/
Another thing about the concert - they showed off a new stage, sign that they're ready to tour again soon? James did mention the album was almost ready.

Where do you see it's available for an MP3 downloaded? I just signed up on the Metallica website and can't find it. I just see the live stream, and a link to pre order the CD.
Edit - nevermind, I found it, but they're charging $10 for the MP3 download.
Wow...that sucks. Didn't know that detail. I apologize for missing that.
No worries bro - if I really wanted it I could have paid the $10. It's cool that their making it available though - hope GNR is taking notes.

RaZor wrote:+1 for people that want to hear Slash on some CD songs, I'm very excited about this. But I'm more excited over the possibility of hearing Axl sing Fall to Peices and Slither.
Would rather just hear some CDII songs if we're talking right now. New stuff would have to be worked on. If they are going to do something I don't want it to be half assed.
All of the above brother.
For all we know, releasing CD2 might still be the plan. And 4tus did say that at least one song was written around something Slash had done, so I imagine we'd hear at the very least that song if they do indeed release / tour CD2.
