Does anyone have these NR photos?
http://web.archive.org/web/20051113025049/http://www.scootersoriginali.com/new_radicals_video_shoot.html I've been after these for years, I've tried contacting the original poster from that site, but there's just so many dead emails I can write to. If anyone happened to save these images please post them or PM me. Please note the major errors of some of the video shoot reports on the net, this being one, parties list that Gregg was the only real member of NR there, when clearly the video shows the only true fake is the bass player and he's one of the hired scooter owners mentioned. It was apparently filmed from 8pm to 7am on a Wednesday and Thursday in 1998. Only one hour of this was spent on filming the band performing. The New Radicals had a constantly changing lineup, and the video reflects this - the only actual band members seen are Alexander and the drummer, Jon, while the rest are actors miming their instruments. :roll: Talking of errors, anyone noticed the list of names given to the classic NR van photo? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Radicals Has someone been fucking about with the wiki? :?

Excellent!

What'd it say?

I'm curious

It listed Greg Fraser as a band member instead of Gregg Alexander.

It gives their phone number & address did you try to contact them that way? http://www.scootersoriginali.com/contact.htm

Nope, anyone closer want to be my guest? :D

Why is it that we all get really wimpy when it comes to calling or writing anyone for NR info? :ninja:

Same here, I've tried contacting these guys on and off for years, I just think it 's time someone else had a try. I've contacted a load of shoe collectors about his shoes and not one sod wrote back. Anyway as Fritz knows I found another way to get to that answer. I thought maybe someone local would have better luck with them.

My apologies. I just figured no one was contacting anyone because there's been so little info on the forum regarding who has been/is being contacted (if anyone) or what they said (if anything), hence me having thought that nobody was contacting anyone. I bug people all the time about Gregg/Danielle and most are really cool and friendly about it. Any information relating to that? :? ...Anyway as Fritz knows I found another way to get to that answer... Have you found anything out about the brand of shoes? :? I'm sorry if I'm seeming rude or unappreciative as I'm very grateful of the efforts you've both been making to get information, I'm just frustrated about the lack of communication on this issue. Will be quiet now :ninja:

No news about the shoes, but I know of a sure fire way to find out, but it'll cost and it uses a professional CSI service. Currently I have a long list of priorities for my funds otherwise I'd have paid already and got the answer. :) I contact people all the time some write back, others totally ignore you or list old emails. I've tried to get hold of current promo DVDs of both videos from Sony, the TFI episode, various Gregg record company press bio scans, these missing photos, the shoe info, background info from radio jocks, ex lovers and their friends, info and mp3s enquiries from sound engineers, background info on the known awards, and not for me but for here to share with everyone. Rather than constantly disappoint everyone I usually only mention the successes, otherwise I normally share what I'm doing with Fritz for knowledgeable feedback. Problem is 80% of the time it just leads to dead ends and expert people who just can't be bothered to reply. :) I check for NR related news and music projects daily and I'm sure Fritz does likewise, anything we find out will appear here as soon as it takes to cut and paste. Problem is, when it just doesn't exist and Gregg is holed up in his bunker there's not much we can do. :)

:o Wow, ok, that's an impressive amount of things you've been looking into, I stand back in awe! :D Yeah, sorry, I understand now why it's not worth mentioning everyone who's been contacted if mostly it just leads to dead ends. How much is the CSI shoe matching stuff? I'd gladly contribute.
