well heres Little Richie with his 2 cents :tumbsup:

 

i dont really care :P

 

i dont think JBJ would build houses for the homeless and donate millions to hurricane Katrina victims, just to turn around and sue a small time tribute band (especially since he has jammed with bands like The Bon Jovi Experience at their gigs before: http://www.jonbyjovi.com/)

 

of course it could be his management (the letter does refer to BJP rather than JBJ himself), but either way im not too phased....JBJ fronts my favourite band yes, but Richie is the one ive always looked up to...

Jimbo Headlining Act

The lawyers for Bon Jovi ought to look into suing the State Of New Jersey for persistently using the name of a Bon Jovi album on all its stationery.

 

It's really terrible to watch so many musicians get famous and turn into pompous asses with no regard for the fans that made them rich. Common sense would dictate that tribute bands, especially respectful and talented ones, sell more CDs for the band they are paying homage to.

 

JBJ = :butt:

That was my first thought (and hope). But the entire letter is written like "it is the wish of my client" etc. and guess who that client is!

 

I wonder if Blonde Jovi will still want to continue paying tribute to Bon Jovi. It must to be hard to get up on stage and pay tribute to someone who screwed you over like that.

Exactly my thoughts! I'm not one of these people who's going to turn around and suddenly hate all their music and not buy their new music... but f*ck me, if I were these girls I don't think I'd have much desire to play in the band after this kind of bullshit.

the letter looks to me like the client is BJP on the "behalf" of JBJ...

 

like i said, why would he jam with a band named "The Bon Jovi Experience" and then sue "Blonde Jovi" for copyright infringement? it doesnt make sense :unsure:

Do tribute bands give some kind of kick back to the artists?

Just a thought.

This is true, it's not as if Jon himself would've gone to his Management Company and asked them to take this action. It never works this way. I hate defending him though, especially in a Flamefest thread, so I'll close by saying he's a talentless egostistical twat.

What do you mean it never works this way? JBJ may not have initiated this, but you can be damn sure it was done with his consent.

That's possible, but I doubt it. A guy I used to work with in the music press (who's now a major Corporate lawyer) used to work for Metallica's Mgmt company responsible for brand protection. He said they'd just go after whoever they liked, especially if it made them money, and unless it was anything above a certain monetary value or impact it wouldn't go anywhere near the band. The only difference in this case is that JBJ might be more of a control freak than Metallica, but remember we're talking about Lars Ulrich here...

This thing has exploded ... the girls have been doing interviews all morning - and the radio stations are coming to the band, not vice versa. We've had reports of dj's all across the country talking about it on air ... NUTS!

 

:D

 

 

Now that's good news...not only does it give the girls all kinds of exposure which might translate into something good but it also spreads the bad publicity for BJ.....

You wanna see just how far it's spread:

 

http://www.google.com/search?q=bon+jovi+su...:en-US:official

 

At least the first 4 pages of results are about this. :lol:

 

Wow! Looks like it's now well over 4 pages of results. I see the news has spread to at least one big Australian radio station as well (Triple M in Adelaide).

      I grew up listening to Cuntry, and have kinda wanted to get back into it. But not the typical New Cuntry shit. So I'll give this a try.

      I always forget about this band, and then I listen to them and am like, "Oh, yeah, they're good!" And then forget about them for another year.

      I was a pretty big fan. Nature Of The Beast is a killer song. Saw them with Dave Gleeson from the Screaming Jets singing and he did an amazing job, but pretty sure they have a new singer now  I recently went through the two most recent albums before this one and there were a couple of ok tracks, but mostly mid. Fun fact: I saw the Angels a couple of years before Doc died at the Middle hotel in Ferntree Gully and they seemed to hate each other. Pretty sure Doc said nothing to the crowd all night. Fun fact 2: when they were building the transit bar in Melbourne, a mate and I found a service elevator that went to the roof, which was under construction. After peeing off the roof, which is always fun, we realised that we could clearly hear the music 5 or 6 floors below from a DJ I think. He was playing Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again. We started yelling down the No Way Get Fucked, Fuck Off bit thinking we were hilarious. Then soon we noticed people looking up, and for some reason they seemed to be clearly hearing us. Another mate then called us to tell us security were on the way up the stairs so we took the service elevator down and managed to laugh it off. Stoopid drunk story I guess, but fun days.

      AI generated music… is this where we’re heading?

      Cheeky, getting your artwork in there. I wonder how you did that.  I like the vocal track on #1 and that'd be my pick. I personally don't dig the female versions of songs, because I'm not a female (yet?) and as these are songs written by ourselves I personally feel the best interpretation is an AI dude voice taking the place of your dude voice.

      Yeah, that's great but this is obviously an accomplished musician probably completely in control of this output... not done with Suno, I'd bet. There's definitely dudes out there who are perfectly capable of doing their own music, like this dude, but for whatever reason might not be able to put a project together, again, for whatever reason... but this definitely feels a lot more like AI feeling in the missing gaps for someone otherwise in complete control of what he wants.  Either way, it is very cool indeed.  As Darkstone says, I'm not sure paying is the way to get the best results. I'm also not saying it isn't, especially with other platforms that are not Suno. I think already knowing what you're doing, musically, is the best way to get best results, personally. Suno, for example, is just perfect for someone who might enjoy writing lyrics but is not in any way shape or form an accomplished (or even adequate, lol) musician.  But yeah, it's pretty cool for some fun. I'm not sure if you checked out my links above. Keeping them pretty quiet due to lyrical content, lol, but you might dig some of the stuff in my links. 'As the moment passes by' and 'I'll wait for you' are two of my personal faves. Along with 'Faith to fall.'

      Yeah, musically it's what you want, but vocally... Maybe Alex should take some vocal lessons from Ken Tamplin. ;}
