“On the other hand, if you’re caught on tape acting the way you did, I wouldn’t want anyone to see them either… so here’s a good solution. Apologize for your behavior and don’t act like that anymore. Pretty simple really.”
AMEN.

Remember Mr. Cheese. You’re only as great as your fans make you. Don’t shit on them, eh?

Legalities aside, you acted like an asshole. That’s clear. And that makes for good gossip. People like gossip. Just because you didn’t break anything or hurt anyone doesn’t make it okay. People are still going to perceive you as a jerk for the way you acted. You should’ve known better, being a “performer”. Shame on you.

Furthermore, join the technoligical revolution like everyone else already. You’re not going to get away from people recording and taking pictures of your show, and acting like a big baby about it isn’t going to help you sell tickets or CDs. Just ask Lars Ulrich.

If people post crappy cell phone videos on youtube of your performance (assuming it’s a good one), that encourages them to want to see you live, and pay you money and buy your CDs. Don’t you get it? The more videos on the internet there are, the more chances there are that people will see them and the more fans you could acquire… what’s up with the no photos? Nobody else minds. The fact that you do makes you look like a prima donna.

On the other hand, if you’re caught on tape acting the way you did, I wouldn’t want anyone to see them either… so here’s a good solution. Apologize for your behavior and don’t act like that anymore. Pretty simple really.

And to everyone else… can we please stop comparing Dick Cheese to Andy Kaufman? Seriously.

Mr. Cheese, as I said, I’ve never heard of you. And despite what was said to have happened in Vegas, I still would have been open to hearing your act. But after your rantings I’ve read here, you can….uhhh…. as they say – fugeddaboudit. From now on whenever I hear your name I’m going to automatically associate it with childish tit for tat boo hooing. So take your ball and go home. The rest of us have more fun people to play with.

Am I right, y’all? Say “AMEN”! LOL

I personally have never heard of this Cheese guy. And I just now ‘stumble upon’ this page. So as a passer-by, I’m sitting back laughing and thinking “WTF?”

But give me a half a mo to try to straighten this all out.

All those in the entertainment industry know one of the most obvious rules of stardom… “All publicity, whether good or bad, is great for his/her career”. So regardless of Monsieur Fromage’s rantings about his rights being violated, he should be grateful for the attention! And if you can’t learn to laugh about yourself, you’ll end up in an early grave. Afterall, laughter IS the best medicine.

Rock on, y’all!

Never thought about it until I read it from you here.

And stupid it is from performers to behave like that.

What a short sight.

Keep up the good work.

Yeah, it’s not hard to get permission to play and record cover songs. Harry Fox and PRO’s like BMI and ASCAP have a pretty easy system to work with.

If someone wanted to come to my work and film me I would love it! It means someone is interested in me enough to film me. And if they then put that stuff all over the internet I would say GREAT! It means that there is more of a possibility of someone learning about me, and perhaps want to see more, they would almost assuredly come straight to the source, but perhaps not, but I would think my odds would be more in my favor the more I was plastered on the internet.

But no one is interested in me, or my two cents. That and 5 bucks will get you a cup of coffee (Don’t ya just love inflation?)

I must say the way you’ve handled this Dick Cheese is pretty poor. You’ve made your statements, I just need some clarification… In the interest of posterity.

Did you take someone’s Camera from their hands? Yes or No?
Did you toss it back to them? Yes or No?
Did you spit on another person filming you? Yes or No?

Those are pretty much the only points of interest I have on this issue… I guess those Yes/No answers could clear up a lot about what these people say about you… So how bout just some straight answers to clear this all up?
