I'll bet those two words drew a reaction from you. Care to share what it was?
Since nobody asked, I'll tell you mine anyway. I think they were all behind you guys at the beginning. There were ads, promos, all sorts of stuff that one would expect from a powerhouse company getting behind a powerful band. However, in the long run it seems like WB has stifled the band's output. Kids these days (there's that phrase!) simply are not as aware of the AC brand as they are their contemporaries. Case in point, I just saw a question on Reddit, asking what the best driving song was. Lots of responses, with many from the early 70s, but not one mention of AC. It's a weak example, but it stuck out to me. I blame WB for that. If they wanted the back catalog to stand out, they could easily make it happen. I presume that there's a lot of politics and bent feathers involved, but I don't know anything.
I'm not looking to get anyone in trouble here. It's thoroughly understood if it's safer for you to stay quiet! Just wondering.
