I can only imagine how difficult it is to pitch a product to someone who isn't there to listen to a pitch while being filmed by two separate crews. It would be really hard not to look like a dildo.Which, to some people, would indicate that this might not be an appropriate time to pitch.
Sometimes, pitching has negative value. Looking like a dorky salesman on video is anti-marketing for a rock and roll related project, and cannot be good for the project. It makes it look like just another "big business cashing in on little guys" swindle, with the older bands now being on the side of big business.
There is a right time to be a salesman. This wasn't it.
