For someone of a 'scholarly' nature, your spelling ain't up to much, son!
It does suck about Matt's gear, but a big slap on the wrist for not backing up. Although, I think the incident would be enough of a slap...!

I don't think it's a point about backing up. Some arsehole grabbed the hard drive halfway through a set and ruined the performance.
Have you seen the comments on the linked story. People slagging off his hair, vinyl vs mp3 cemments, bitching about laptop users not being musicians, etc. What a bunch of twats.

For the smug, holier-than-thou ones, just wait until you have your gear stolen. You'll really appreciate the wise-cracks and criticism directed at you. Guaranteed.

other than a few closet homosexuals, I don't think anyone from the public at large would give a shit if hambone's HD was stolen.8O wrote: For the smug, holier-than-thou ones, just wait until you have your gear stolen.

But if they did, that's what Kensington locks, insurance and off-site backups are for.
Common sense to any professional who relies on IT.
Although not perfect, they're a good deterrent: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid ... 8346205814
Trust no one.
Having your hard drive stolen would suck whether or not you have an established name with a several hundered dollar TB drive or if you are just starting out and have a cheapy little flash based drive. We are talking about private data being ripped off; throw in private data being ripped off DURING THE MIDDLE OF A PERFORMANCE and you have a case for a serious ass kicking.
Matt Dear is a super nice guy with more experience and musical talent than just about anyone I've ever met. I've opened for him before and his repuatation of being a great guy is well deserved. This story sucks. Matt's one of the hardest working performers in the industry. He's constantly trying to evolve his sound and tours pretty much non-stop.
That being said it sounds like whoever stole this is probably going to get off unless the individual is dumb enough to proclaim to the public what he did. Hopefully, guilt sets in and he does the right thing and returns the drive. Still, that shouldn't get him off from getting a beat down for ruining what I can only imagine was a great set. Asshole.
If someone such as bOunce (surprise) thinks it's funny to have your hard drive or any other musical gear stolen than it's clear to me that he hasn't a shred of musical cred nor a friend in the world.
I'm sure Matt had a backup. He's a professional and actually does this sort of thing for a living.

C'mon, man. Tell the truth for once; you would LOVE to see someone succesful lose something valuable. I couldn't imagine you wanting something more.
