I met the band in Argentina in 2014. I was the only person waiting for them, I got in the soundcheck. We spoke with Kurt about this issue and he even laughed his ass off when I imitated his pissed off face seen here. Kurt invited me to the show and when I said to him that my copy of the 1988 record belonged to my absent father, after the show he even gave me some life advices related to parents. We had a heartfelt concersation. A great experience. So Kurt, if you ever happen to read this, thank you for these words and I hope to see you once again on the road and talk to you!
The music Kurt did for Soul Reaver 1 and 2 was some of the best music and sound I heard in any game ever. He did his own album after InSoc that was more what he personally wanted to do. It was amazing but I can't remember the name of it. He really didn't like performing as InSoc after a few years, his contracts basically made a slave of him and wouldn't let him make the kinda music you wanted to evolve into.
Hi, OP here. Having worked in the media before, yes, yes they would be. Aside from having Kurt's word to it (and no rebuttal from MTV), it's fairly common in media and advertising to squeeze every penny.
It's really interesting to see their fan base because I've always grouped Kurt in with having a more experimental Synth-Industrial influence. Despite their sound having pop-appeal they were a crossover having been a feature in the 90s Goth/Industrial scene. They'd be on our mix tapes, played in the clubs etc. I think even Cleopatra(?) records I want to say featured some of their music from what I remember and they're a predominantly Goth/Industrial label.
Knowing Kurt personally, I know he was annoyed and felt invaded. Knowing his perspective, it really soured my opinion of this show. Glad it's off the air now.

I love how they try to paint Kurt as an asshole when it's so obvious that he's being blatantly sarcastic to the film crew and Aamer. This perfectly matches the stupidity of the crew and shows how artificial Bands Reunited is. Oh, how I wish Aamer got Morrissey. I know that Morrissey would've smacked him a new one on the Internet.
VH-1 (Viacom) are assholes they barged into the guys place of work interupting his co-workers. If I was Kixeye I would have had them arrested for doing what they did. At the least I would have told them to take their camera's and leave or be arrested for trespassing. I'm on your side Kurt I applaud you ! Also I think it takes a lot of brass to ask pro's to perform for free to make your company money and not them unless it's a charity thing.
I've read that a while back. It's how I was reminded of this episode. I love how they fucking tracked the dude down at Burning Man while he was holding a Thunderdome match. They call it devotion. He calls it "jesus christ why are they doing this."
Lo veo ahora y entiendo la flor de edición que hicieron para hacer parecer que Kurt decia que aceptaba ir a la reunion. Por suerte encontre el texto de Kurt explicando todo web.archive.org/web/20071230112756/insoc.org/texts/BandReunion.HTML
Yo me enteré por la nota que le hicieron en Argentina , donde Paul contaba que estaba todo armado , cuando de entrada Kurt había dicho que no , pero VH1 lo hacía aparecer como que si ; con el beneplácito del resto de la banda .
Crystal Dynamics should have dispatched a Police cruiser to arrest chuck and V-T Man LOL Ahh Kurt could we interview you in the back of this cruiser on the way to the lock up ha,ha
A la final Kurt terminó regresando a la banda y acualmente está en ella, supongo que eso de Crystal Dynamics fue un fracaso! Fue bastante inmaduro en esta intervención

Go go San Francisco 😆
5:11 always loved the early band style: they looked like an 80s metal band but played music with drum machines and synths.
Kurt is......" very special" person. At 1:17 " I need my pinguin " XD
Jajajaja se me hizo mega tierno si ♡ mi expresión literalmente fue "Awwww Kurt" ♡

The name of the album is "Don't be afraid" I really love it.
"Lets invade your workplace and ask you to do some work for free."
This is so messed up.
If you think they are doing this for free.... you are naive as they come.

///_ este es uno de los mas grande musicos de los 80S
One of a kind band
BUENO Y ADONDE ESTA LA PARTE DONDE SE REUNIERON ____ME QUEDE CON LAS GANAS JAJAJJA
Running is one of my favorite songs.
Amaba ese programa cuando aún valía la pena
Kurt was PISSED btw. I completely agree with his point of view.
I loved Kurt's soundtrack for Soul Reaver by Crystal Dynamics.
I don't wanna see Paul. I need my, I need my penguin.... rofl... 1:15
Já adorava o Kurt, agora adoro e admiro muito mais!
Ele é super fofo e especial amooooooo
woow i like this music,,the way they make music well done!!
Very very fantástic.. información society..to BEST.good music
They VH-1 edited the piss out of this scene that isn't what happened according to Kurt.
and even Paul Robb corroborated that none of what VH1 was doing would even work out or be beneficial to the band

Infelizmente esse vídeo do INSOC legendado em espanhol não tá dando pra entender nada.

Essential reading. This comment should be pinned at the top.

No, Kurt is that asshole. And it's Kurt LARSON....
Kurt seems like a cool guy. Obviously a bit of a sarcastic gentlemen, but cool none-the-less.
Not cool. He is a very smug little boy.
They had a kind of Britannic sound, they could have been a very important band if they had could leave egos apart.
So true
PURE ENERGY..
HE IS ONE OF THE KIND SYNTHESIZER PLAYER..
BRANCREVEA, NANAUS, AM
Kurt , brilliant. Pure Energy.L.Nemo immortalized.
No encuentro la entrevista con Jim casidy!!!🤔 Jim casidy interview?🤔
On a scale of 1 to napalm, how much do you dislike Running?
I love this band
Podrian haber seguido un camino similar al de Depeche Mode . Fue un tiempo muy corto

I thought he was from England .
Me too! I really thought they were British at first, haha :D

Superb, but first read Kurts side of The story. Then you laugh your ass off. Much respect to Kurt
Is this guy the inspiration for J.P. in Grandma's Boy? Seems like it.

Go to insoc.org and read the piece Kurt wrote about the experience.
I would have probably just kicked them out of the building.
