Rock Band Network - prospective songs list

[cherokeesam]

Hey! I'm working with a friend of mine to chart some songs for a band we know called Arkady.

You might want to clarify that statement...."a band we know" doesn't necessarily sound like authorization.

Make sure that "band you know" is actually *employing* you to chart their songs....you can't just start charting songs without a band's permission.

troll troll troll troll....troll TROLLL troll troll rawr troll troll rawr

come back when you speak english, not 'troll'.

RBN isn't supposed to ba about big bands, its supposed to be about the smaller bands who want to be on rock band. and just because you wont buy it doesnt mean others will.

Sorry about that. What I mean to say is that we've spoken with them and actually gotten permission to chart their songs. My friend knows them personally and has met with them. We aren't even taking any of the cut if there is anything to be made. All proceeds will go to the artist, Arkady.

You still need to make sure you have a solid, legally-binding written agreement with the band that allows you to use their copyrighted material. In other words, a contract.

Well seeing as all that is happening right now is this being put on the "prospective" song list I think all should be well. But yes in the future I'm sure we'll have to sign/arrange some sort of contract. My friend took the song to them recently for the band themselves to actually play it and apparently they thought it was really cool. Should have a video up of that very soon.

If there's some sort of label involved, you HAVE to make sure all the legal bases are covered.

EVERY band that's on your HD, on your iPod, in your CD collection, whatever...was once an "unknown" band. I always find it funny when people say they're not going to buy music from bands they've never heard of; how do you listen to ANY music in that case? You obviously heard it for the first time at some point!

just in the last 2 years i discovered at least a couple dozen artists that i now really like.

They're currently unsigned.
