IRVING AZOFF Joins Twitter, Immediately Becomes Controversial

Irving Azoff begins his Twitter assault:

irvingazoff: so if you want ticket prices to go down stop stealing music.

RESPONSES ARE FLOODING IN:

gregkot: 12 tweets in, he's already more entertaining than many Live Nation amphitheater shows this summer

FakeBobLefsetz: @irvingazoff says stop stealing music. We bought vinyl, tapes, 8track, CD... for the same song. Well, I think we've PAID ENOUGH.

ShitTopherSays: hey @irvingazoff how did negotiating that Best Buy deal for Chinese Democracy work out for you?

jasoncherkis: @irvingazoff or maybe major labels could stop insisting we play list price --$18.99 and up for shitty CD

TicketSLAVES: @popedominic don't worry, @irvingazoff is doing enough stealing from artists to put downloaders to shame.


Azoff surprisingly praised Axl, despite reportedly becoming so enraged during their current court proceedings that he started throwing things at Axls lawyer.


irvingazoff: axl? he gets unfairly bashed online. i like him a lot. what a genius too

Well he's got a point about the whole stealing music thing, but I still think its unfair to have to pay $159 for the cheapest seat at an Aerosmith show. Where do they think that an average joe is gonna get that kind of money just for one ticket for just 3 hours worth of entertainment?

Saw Aerosmith at Graspop this summer. They weren't even worth $10.

On most of the other stuff they do though, the prices are about as much as I said and higher.
