I have a buddy who lives out in California and is a professional photographer out there. He is independent, meaning that he works for himself, he's not exclusively working for any one single company. He's an independent contractor and companies will call him if they need to set up a photo shoot. He has worked with/for companies such as Playboy, WWF, ABC STudios, NBC Studios, Microsoft and several other big time companies.
Getting to the point, he was recently contacted by Bam Margera through MTV about doing a photo shoot for the goth metal band HIM, whose lead singer, Ville Valo is best friends with Bam and Bam has directed a lot of HIM's music videos.
My buddy took the job and the photo shoot is going to take a total of 6 days and started yesterday (it ends on Saturday). Anyway, I was talking to my buddy today and he was telling me all of this and said that he and Bam Margera got into a discussion during some down time and that Margera confided in him that Margera and HIM are currently in what Bam called "casual talks with Eminem" about doing some kind of Eminem/HIM collaboration.
This shouldn't really surprise many, as Eminem did a remix of "The Way I Am" a couple years ago in which he had Marilyn Manson produce the remix, Em had his original verses laid over the Manson's new beat and then Manson performed the hook instead of Em. That remix came out I thought better than the original.
My question is, if this actually happens and the two sides were to agree to this, what do you think the outcome would be?
I guess in all, what are your thoughts?
