Does Ultimatum support bootlegging at its concerts?

I was curious to know how Ultimatum feels about people bootlegging the band's shows? Are there Ultimatum boots in circulation?

There are a few that I know of. One that was mass produced was called Live Extremities. I know that kmorg has a copy of it.

Personally, I don't care if people bootleg our shows. Anyone who is going to buy a bootleg of a concert is probably a big enough fan that it's not going to stop them from buying our official releases. For us it's more about getting the music out there.

it would be great to hear one of those booklets

Has Ultimatum ever considered releasing a live album?

It could be called Preaching to the Perished. That'd be wicked sweet.

Yes. We are suppose to be releasing a live DVD and possible CD this year. We have a lot of work and money already into it, but we need to schedule on more big concert this summer.

I have live extremities and the sound is horrid.

Yup, it's an audience recorded bootleg.

Sometimes, horrid sound only adds to a bootleg's character. It's sort of a reality check that you're listening to an illegal recording and will probably burn in hell for all eternity for it - especially if you downloaded it off the internet.

I agree...... a bootleg is to be judged by the quality of the performance, not the quality of the sound.

BTW, while we're on the subject...... a recording of this weekend's show is rumored to exist.....

Did you get any footage at calistone?

No. While we enjoyed that show a lot, we were using other people's equipment and it really wasn't our sound.

There are actually two versions of Live Extremeties (I think Kmorg and I have both). They are the same show, but one of them is completely done as one track. The second version has the songs broken up track by track, and the sound SEEMS a bit cleaned up (don't know if it was filtered or what), but it could just be my ears. I rarely listen to it (haven't in at least a year), as the quality is just really bad as, like was mentioned, it is a crowd recording.

I'd buy a live CD, however....

I'd buy it, too!

Hey, Scott, is the stuff you guys are putting together for a DVD/CD all from one show, or is it a compilation of different shows?

We want to have one concert as the major portion of the DVD, but there will be lots of live clips from years past, all the way back to Ultimatum's first show on the DVD as well.

I am waiting fot that to be release :goodluck:

hey the second you guys get a live one out there I will be all over it

I went to a show and taped the whole thing!
