How do you implement the link behind the title, like in "this interview" as you wrote?

Cthulhu, go to my post, click "quote", and just copy what / how I do it.  I'd would explain it, but I'm seriously crap at explaining / articulating.  :)

It goes something like...

[url = you would put the link here, inbetween these square brackets ]here you would put whatever you wanted to[ / url ]  making sure to leave NO spaces inbetween

I can't explain it better than that, lol, I really am stupid... sorry.   :-[

Test it out in when you preview your post, it should become clearer, should work.   :)

I'm going to have to learn German just to find out what the heck was spoken in this interviewToo bad it wasn't in Italian or French.   How I wish people wouldn't speak over his voice.   :'(   I could listen to him 'til the cows come home.  I don't know what it is, but there's just something quite calming, soothing, comforting, magical, inspiring about it.  I love it.

For anyone who doesn't understand German, but is interested in NMA interviews, an English translation was only recently uploaded to youtube of the above, quoted older interview.  And, here it is... enjoy!  :)

Who's removing the official EMI-era NMA videos from youtube?
« Reply #20 on: December 28, 2019, 11:12:15 PM »
To whomever can answer this question  and/or  is able of rectifying this matter...

Is EMI  :-\  (or some other person/group) removing some of the original, official NMA videos from YouTube?  I am no longer able to find either of the following promos...

1.  "White Coats"
2.  "Stupid Questions"
3.  "Green and Grey"
4.  "Get Me Out"
5.  "Vagabonds"

If anyone else has noticed others gone missing, please jump in and say which. 

Also missing is a wonderful interview Mr. Sullivan did back in 1998 for Amercia's NBC station.  What's happening.  None of these videos were offensive, so am confused as to why they've been pulled and by whom.

A look into this matter by the band / management / record label representative, would be genuinely appreciated.

Thank you.

At some point during this past year, the official video for NMA's  "51st State" was taken down as well.  I'm beginning to think it's EMI pulling down all of these official clips.  Is there not anyone here who can either confirm or deny any of this?  Please, put me out of my misery and tell us what's been happening, what seems to still be going on?  Surely NMA has some kind of rights to those videos, no?  It's their words / music and they're in them... isn't that enough?  :-\  What the heck am I missing here?  ???

Mr. Savage, would you please help with this?  Do we have to write a letter to somebody or something, to get them back up?  If so, to whom?  Where?  Aack!!  H-E-L-P !!!  :-[

Well it's a valid point. It will be EMI that are taking stuff down from the early years, not the band. It's also possible that some videos are not allowed in certain countries due to copyright etc.

Thank you Mr. Savage for making and taking the time to post, respond.  Unfortunately, it's official.  Sometime between this very second and my previous post in / on this thread, the very last remaining official EMI-era video, "Purity", was taken down as well.  It's almost as if the buggers have ears, or something!  Some fellow lover of NMA had uploaded it back in 2015, but they found it just the same.  This is seriously pissing me off, already!  Grrr!!!  >:(  What on earth is going on?  Why the fcuk is EMI doing this!  What are we missing here?  What do they have against the band, the videos?  ugh!  :'(

Is there not anything we 'fans' or better yet, the good folks in and around the band OR the band itself, can do to get the official videos uploaded again?  Do we have to petition, complain, write letters, beg... or what?  To exactly whom?  How?  Where?  :-[

Does EMI own absolutely everything NMA created, were part of, while they were signed to the label?  Is that how it works?  I wouldn't know,  :-\  I'm just a dickhead.  How much would or does it cost to buy the full rights back, to get them back into NMA's rightful hands?  Can the band afford to do so?  Thank heaven NMA have their own label now.  Thank you Mr. Tee, if it was you that solidified that for the band.  Ohhh, Mr. Tee... only spoke to you for about 20 minutes once, back in 2003, but miss you dearly, just the same.  :'(

Apologies if I've inadvertently pissed anyone off with this post, it's just that I'm really upset, miffed about this whole EMI-era video removal situation, myself.
Thank you, everyone, for allowing me to express myself, vent, get that off my chest.
Your tolerance and understanding has been truly appreciated.
