Rock songs to consider...

[Chakan2]

You'll be happy to know that I have coded atleast one of the songs on that list, Masamax - and about copyright, It really isnt to much of an issue I dont think, Of course the rules woud be totaly different if it was a case of distribution, but it is not. Look at the radio, every major radio station in the world (except the shitty news ones) wud b closed if it was an issue to play out live tracks, of course - if the radio stations offered to send their entire playlists to everyone that listens for no apparent reason, this would be different. Worst comes to th worst, the game needs to get cut back and the songs deleted - the only real issue is that the record ndustried may be apprehensive about where the song came from, in which case proof of purchase of the album the song was fom is all thats needed, be it heavy metal or a soundtrack - it wont cost too much to buya single CD to shut them up... I wouldnt worry about it, and as such three rock songs aytleast should be going up soon, thre are a few threads in the main forum about this

Actually, you're wrong on the radio station issue. They get to play shit free because they make money on advertising. Then they drop 10% of that revenew or something like that back to the recording industries. That's how they get free songs and the rights to play them.

However, most internet broadcasters got screwed in a recent settlement (acutally like 6 months ago or something like that) where they have to pay royalties per song instead of how the radio stations do it. I think FFR would fall under that sort of broadcast license and would screw synth if he used un-licenced stuff.

some other artist could be linkin park, Korn, Papa Roach, System of a Down, Sum 41, Slipknot,Mudvayne

Radio stations usually pay for licenses from ASCAP or BMI to get the rights to play music and yes, they pay a percentage of profits + other fees.

Song suggestions

You - Bad Religion. This is good cause you can start the song off fast and then have a nice break. A great song otherwise, I think it would make a good fit. Also, No Cigar - Millencolin. Good song to hear, good song to arrow (or whatever the verb is that means "to add arrows to the beat of a song in relation to FFR". Heh.)

Forget about the label names...

As far as I (and many others) am (are) concerned, who gives a @#%! about the large label names, if you look at it, you'll realize that theres a lot of untapped talent out there thats better than anything that comes out of the large recording labels.

So try to look at FFR as a way to get new bands, individuals, DJ's etc. heard by the majority of internet users. Because this way you're getting a song, and someone else might just get a foot into the door.

Ding Ding Ding...you are the winnar. I totally agree. I think FFR should help out New Artists and et cetera...and stuff.

[Synthlight]

and indeed we are doing just that Jewpin. Just taking a look at the "top list" will give you an idea of how many people have download the songs of the artists on FFR. I couldn't agree more

I am more than happy to help out new artists and they understand the mutual benefit of such a thing.

Someone finally understands!!!! *confetti flies and balloons rise into the sky*
Is there like a prize for this, Synth?
Keeping FFR original is 3/4 of the fun. However, if all you people want to pay the $10,000+ per song for those big-name artists so we can use them in FFR, be my guest ^_^

Personally I'm all for useing independant names. For instance, after doing the only rock stage, I now plan on getting the CellDweller album when it comes out. It's a great song. As much as I'd love to try Metallica songs and such, I think it's time for the new talent to be heard.

way around copyright?

just wondering, but if you were to chop out the lyrics to a song and then miz it up a little bit then is it still infringing on copyright laws? i forget exactly what programs can do it but i know that some can extract just the music and no words and i know you can use stuff like acid 4.0 to mix it a little. i mean then your basicly creating a new song it just seems to sound a lot like the corrosponding copyrighted song. except you would also have to re-name it... just a thought

I agree. I plan on getting the celldweller album, too (if I have money). New bands are very good things. FFR has helped me hear some music I might not go out of my way to listen to. And now, I do. Thanks, Synth, bprc, and everyone who's involved in some way or another!

[SpookG]

smiley - If the material you are sampling is copyrighted then you would have to ask permission to use it.

As for extracting music and no words, that is impossible in most formats aside from a dat recording previous to a mixdown.

And as for those unsigned artists, how about more songs by those FGJ! people.. they are so cool (hahaha)

[NessTormented]

I am make songs and i am have a band, so i could give to some songs. I use fruity loops and in on the band playing for the guitar. Maybe i can even to do vocals, if my english gets to a better of level.

[riku]

hmmmm actually I'd like to see most of those... plus NIN, Finger Eleven... and of course... Nirvana

[MudvayneGurl]

Mudvayne

I think it would be great if we could use some mudvayne songs. Hey, does anyone know when this is supposed to be coming out? I'm getting tired of the FFR songs we already have. After a while they get easy and stuff. :P
