jcwolf 0 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I joined JWFAN because I was looking for an Offical John Williams website. I found a link on Goggle but when I tried going to that website I got a message that it could not be found by the server. This occured with more than on type of search engine. Can anyone tell me why there is not an official John Williams website that is up and running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faleel 5,349 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Because John Williams is 80 years old and not very "hip"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Only younger composers tend to have official sites, in order for promotional reasons, showcase samples of their work, etc. Williams has no need for any of those benefits. JWFan is as official as it gets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maglorfin 196 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Technically isn't the Sony page about Williams his official site?I guess you're right, I was about to say the same thing. But that site was always pretty useless - never up to date, with tons of stuff missing etc. So JWFan is really the best JW website there is - not to mention the forum!

Incanus 5,715 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 This is definitely the number 1 John Williams site, but not his official site. Williams has never been very good at this modern style of keeping up with the fans or marketing himself (no need really) through social media. He is should we say "old school" to the core.

Thor 7,504 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 At this point in time, he doesn't really need a marketing strategy. He's a living legend. Heck, he doesn't even have a proper agent anymore (even though he's associated with the Gorfaine/Schwartz agency), only personal assistants.

Hlao-roo 389 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 There's nothing remotely official about JWFAN. It's a rogue site founded on pirating music from LucasArts video games. Jeff Eldridge's site is the closest thing to official there is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeinAR 1,949 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 so this isn't the site one goes to for the most accurate up todate information about all things John Williams,then Imdb must be the official site.God knows they always have the facts.

Richard Penna 3,690 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 There are loads of unofficial 'fan' sites that have more up to date information than the official one.We may not be official, but I wouldn't send someone who wanted to get JW info anywhere else.

SF1_freeze 131 Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 This is the best, by far most extensive and up to date website on all things related to John Williams. In addition it is one of the very best websites on soundtracks in general.No official site could ever dream of being as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
