gypsy muse Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Alex's quote in the article makes it sound as if the band doesn't care a whit about it. (He congratulates Ray Danniels and the ole people on "their deal").I wish I understood more about how it all works. Does this mean they can use their music for commercials without their permission?

gypsy muse Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 (edited) I read on down in the article & it was talking about transparency in regards to what % of a song an entity has control over. What the? How does someone control part of a song? Will someone please read & then interpret for me.

gypsy muse Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 They'll put a freeze on all current and future Rush royalty payments and force that selfish prick to tour Europe.what do you mean tour europe.

Managers don't tour, do they? Please explain, I'm curious about how all this works I'm with you; I don't really get how the rest of it works and I'm still really surprised they sold their music rights earlier this year, I thought artists were never supposed to do that. But the part about touring Europe is TRF member Ed using a label from another thread calling Neil a 'selfish prick' and making a joke hoping someone, anyone can figure out a way to get them to tour Europe! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron2112 Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Exactly, this should erase any doubts in most people's minds. Really? Why precisely? I think people tend to read too much into business deals they don't understand. This is most likely a good way to ensure the front office people are taken care of while the band's future remains unclear. From the record company's standpoint, Ole is certainly not going to buy Anthem unless they're sure there's more product coming out in the future.

That's what would cover use by advertisers, presidential candidates, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cat 3 Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 I'm not sure I understand what this means. Does it mean that Ray is, more or less, retiring and he unloaded Anthem? Ray cashed out. Get ready for more rounds of repackaged remastered re-releases.That's exactly what I thought. This could only be "good" news if they decide to go back and release live music from over the years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But just by the fans...who continue to dream... :) As a side note- I do think $5 would be a pipe dream. But $10, for a two-hour (or more) show, that still is a good value, as far as I'm concerned. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what would cover use by advertisers, presidential candidates, etc. I still don't fully understand it, and it sounds to me like the music business is a complicated and many faceted industry. That's kind of disillusioning but not surprising. I know it didn't start out that way, but it's what it has become. When Ray unloaded Rush's entire music catalog, all that meant was that if any more remasters (or reissues of anything rush did) are done in the future, that goes through Ole? But publishing rights to their music is a different story - and Rush still owns that? Did I get it straight?

(They did just finish touring three months ago, after all). It may be a couple more years. Or it may not end up happening.  I try not to think about it, at this point.

Ron2112 Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Look at it this way..... Rush still owns the copyright for their songs. Ole now simply has distribution rights for Rush's music. That's an oversimplification, but it should work for us. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
