Time for a new genre

Re: Time for a new genre

Perfection. I'd love a classic rock genre. Carlos' response is the best.

P.S. I could easily get permission from Steppenwolf, my girlfriend's uncle's in the band. There's a start.

Re: Time for a new genre

thats what i mean you can get permissions very easily and this would bring in a bunch of new people once the news gets out.

Re: Time for a new genre

I'm pretty sure two different rock genres aren't going to bring a bunch of people.

It's like making the Dance genre then a Techno genre.

We could have different sections in the genres maybe.
EDIT: My grammar was horrible in the post I just deleted.

Re: Time for a new genre

That's a pretty kick ass idea, actually. Mini genres within the main genres. Rock: Classic, alternative, techno, punk.

Re: Time for a new genre

ok now we are getting somewhere. that is a really good idea but it would take a while to implement the sud category system into the game so just until it is implemented it should be its own genre or under the rock until it becomes too big.

Re: Time for a new genre

Not sure about Classic Rock but more genres are needed I guess, since # of genre is getting too low compared to # of songs (single genre should have 10 pages or less, look at the game screen layout).

I know this is why recent new songs are added to Purchased, though.

Re: Time for a new genre

Only way to get mainstream or heard of bands, is to grow in popularity. Support FFR any way you can, and watch it grow. It's still growing, and the more it grows, the more permissions we can get.

Don't get me wrong, I love local talent, but big bands once in a while would probably get the numbers up a bit more. The solution would be to support FFR and watch it grow.

Btw, seeing Rise Against in the Rock section, along with Wheatus, was the coolest FFR moment in my life.

Re: Time for a new genre

1. Classic Rock is not a genre; it's a subgenre of Rock. It is NOT its own genre, no matter how you look at it. Like someone else said, we would need a Techno section if this ever came to be.

2. We wouldn't be able to get any Classic Rock. There's no way we would get permission for anything.

3. As much as I love oldies, it would be really boring to play on FFR.

Re: Time for a new genre

The reason why we're unlikely to get classic rock bands' permissions is that they don't need any more popularity. There's no benefit to them for releasing their music for free here. Hell, some bands won't even give up their music for Rock Band/Guitar Hero where they get paid to do so.

Re: Time for a new genre

I dislike the genre song choice system altogether, so I'm against expanding it any further.

ok you people have no idea what the copyright laws are do you. when you get a copyright you have 30 years to which you, and only you, have the right to use the thing you copyrighted as you see fit. now once that 30 years is up you need to renew the copyright or else what you had copyrighted can be used by anybody without your permission. now if we apply the copyright laws to this thread you will see that there are some bands that did not renew their copyrights and thus we would be able to use them.

I think it's more than 30, and you have no right to talk to anyone in a demeaning manner, you could have just mentioned it like everyone else.

I don't know about a genre change/addition though, I mean, if we do, what else could we add? Classic Rock is improbable as mentioned before, and Techno, well, much of the Dance1-2 sections fall into the Techno genre. I don't know about anything you else you can add here.

Hm, maybe you're right. We could get some incredibly ****ty bands' permissions (they would have to be really damn bad for nobody to want to renew a copyright)

I'm pretty sure some of Elvis' older recordings are now public domain, but I could be wrong, either way, Elvis dump files.... *drool*

Exactly. There's no point in getting the contracts of bands that haven't had their contracts renewed--they probably aren't good enough anyway. And don't come and say that the current rock music sucks because they allow their music to be on the site royalty-free, because they are rising rock bands who are trying to advertise their music on a popular site.

(I don't care if you weren't going to put that argument, just saying.)
