Some? Well we've seen fuck all our end so far and they're ignoring most of our calls about it...
I think that is their major problem - They are not giving any answers - It's always 'Be Patient' - Obviously Live created a great mag with RG, however they aren't gonna have any contributors left to write the mag!
I must admit that it doesn't look very rosy for the company - Obviously Martyn is only allowed to say so much about what is going on, but surely the people above him can be honest?
Personally I wouldn't subscribe to the mag - I know their forums have been full of people saying they are going to support Live and take out a subscription, but if the company does go down, they won't get their money back. And it seems odd that the editorial last month was mostly devoted to a subscription plea...
I have always defended RG from the likes of Simon (aka RetroRevival) who seems to think that his fanzine was better 'cos it was more underground (his ranting just makes him look jealous). However I must admit that the more I hear about Live, I seem to be going off RG more and more...
One of the rumours is that Live don't have enough to pay the printers for the next issue - Obviously all eyes will be on next Thursday (or the start of next week when subscribers generally get their copies) to see whether it comes out.
I have a feeling that there will be some sort of announcement before then (though I'm not exactly sure about what) so we will have to wait for some kind of answer...
