Why LP r becoming more like a dickhead ??

[evulture]

Here the thing :

 

You have to PAY if you want to be part of the lpunderground

You have to PAY if you want to promote linkin park with professionals skills if you live outside the US

you have to PAY if you want to receive packages and stickers from the merch for yourself and promoting professionnaly and not with home made crap

you have to PAY if you want to listen to linkin park first single on your mp3 even if you already bought 3 or 4 or 5 albums from them and you waited for 4 years now for a new release

you have to PAY if you want to see their new video your dying to see since 4 years now

you have to PAY if you want the extra songs of the album in the itunes music store

you have to PAY if you want to see them in concert and you have to PAY more if you want to meet them once in your life

you have to PAY if you wanna see much videos of them cause the 3 minutes lptv really sucks, and

You have to PAY if you want to see a DVD from guys that you supported from month or years

you have to PAY if you want to be a LINKIN PARK FAN !

And if you DON'T you are such an ignorant and ungrateful

 

 

And now you have to pay for LPTV to watch the EXTENDED episodes ... i mean still in current FREE LPTV Episodes if we dont include that fuckin into of 30 seconds, then the current episodes are SHIT (LPTV 3 is such a joke is that a Live in texas new trailer ?) .. and THE MOST AWESOME thing is that it's ONLY available for U.S. citizens ... arent the people living outside US are NOT LP FANS ? why fucking money always comes ahead of us when we have to even SEE them TOURING ??

When are u going to realise that LP is a brand name? Most of its the work of warner trying to milk the fans out of their money, LP arent and independent band they are on Warner one of the biggest jokes of a record label out there ALL of the bands on Warner are 'Brands' instead of 'Bands' deal with it. Stop buying ur crappy Finger Eleven albums n so on n we wouldnt have this problem.

[Conjure]

Stenner pretty much covered it.

[Acezorz]

I agree with Stenners; it's mostly Warner Records..

 

You have to PAY if you want to be part of the lpunderground - Is $20/£12 a year too much for the exclusive merchandise, live-chats, pre-sale tickets, meet and greet passes etc? I don't think so at all.

 

You have to PAY if you want to promote linkin park with professionals skills if you live outside the US - Do you? I'm on the Linkin Park Street team, and so far I haven't paid a penny for it.

 

you have to PAY if you want to receive packages and stickers from the merch for yourself and promoting professionnaly and not with home made crap - You say home made crap, whats stopping you print out the logo onto a logo and sticking it up around town, I wouldn't call that home-made crap. I've done it and had people coming up to me saying its really cool and that its good i'm promoting a band that I really enjoy.

 

you have to PAY if you want to listen to linkin park first single on your mp3 even if you already bought 3 or 4 or 5 albums from them and you waited for 4 years now for a new release - Isn't it the same with all bands? If no-one paid for their albums, where would they get funding to make new albums, go on tours etc?

you have to PAY if you want to see their new video your dying to see since 4 years now- Not true, it'll be out on the music video channels in no time. Besides, theres plenty on youtube anyway.

 

you have to PAY if you want the extra songs of the album in the itunes music store- I think this is a good point, but I think its good they do special editions because it'll show how dedicated the fan is to LP.

 

you have to PAY if you want to see them in concert and you have to PAY more if you want to meet them once in your life - Again its same with every band, of course you have to pay to see them live! And to meet your favourite band once in your life? I'd jump at the chance for it, no matter how much it costs.

 

you have to PAY if you wanna see much videos of them cause the 3 minutes lptv really suck - Since when did you have to pay? If you're a member of LP underground, you get the exclusive content from LPTV andthat bundled with the other exclusive stuff from LP Underground for £12 a year? I think its a great deal.

 

You have to PAY if you want to see a DVD from guys that you supported from month or years - You keep bringing up the same point; it's the same with all bands, of course you have to pay, again its for funding the band and showing your support by buying their music.

 

you have to PAY if you want to be a LINKIN PARK FAN ! - Okay I don't really know how you came to this conclusion neither do I see how its true.

 

And if you DON'T you are such an ignorant and ungrateful - Not really; at the end of the day you're a Linkin Park fan if you enjoy their music, thats basically it, LP will still respect people who can't afford LPU memberships, or to buy their tickets. I don't see any fan who doesn't own an album/single/LPU Membership etc as ignorant or ungrateful.

 

Hope that helps

[evulture]

and what about LPTV?? ... can u tell me a fuckin SINGLE thing that Linkin Park are giving away for FREE ??? the free thingy before meteora was LPTV .. and it now, warner demands money for them too !!

 

and also the fans living in Pakistan cant be an LPU member because the LP management thinks that we cheat,steal and do every fucking bad thing in this world, thats why are not even in the LPU !!! .. if u dont believe it, then ask MrsBennington in the LPF, she put the query on my behalf in the LPU boards ... dont they consider all people equal?

 

thats what they said to her:

 

if the country's not listed it's usually for legal and/or shipping reasons. Some countries have a higher fraud warning so US companies cannot provide service to them. If anything he could sign up with a friends address/card and then go from there...

[Stenners]

^^

Obviously knows nothing about record deals

 

Once u signed the contract the record labels owns the rights to everything u record up until the contract expires & even then, everything recorded during the time period under contract is still Warners property not LP's.

 

Thats why Prince turned into a symbol so he could get out of his record deal.

[evulture]

u are talking like warner FORCED and threatened LP to sign the contract so they own everything they OWN .. at the end of day, LP also needs loads of money now !! .. they r no 5 yr old kids dude !!

[Stenners]

Its the case with all record companies...... either that or they could of been an independent band but then u probably would never of heard them unless ur the type of person who actually looks for bands rather then gets served by the TV, Mags and Radio

[Friðbjörn]

look I don't like the concept of putting a price on music any more than you do, but musicians like other have to make a living. unfortunately a bunch of guys in suits with offices cash in on each musician by pretending they'll do anything in the interest of the artist, but I don't think there's anything that will change that...

 

it isn't LP that are dickheads, it's the label. and because LP want to continue getting their music out to us they're bound to bow to the label in almost everything.

 

now regardless of what I said above, it costs money to go on tours, record songs, etc. when you buy an album you're also paying a part of what becomes food on the table for the people like you and me that work as roadies, bus drivers, and others...

[DarknessLover]

Dude, you need to pay to do stuff. Now let's think of it like schools. If you want the basic shit and then some it's free, like using limewire, or youtube. If you want a higher education you got to pay, like iTunes, and record stores. The Higher Education, may cost more, but you get more out of it and it will always be remembered. The Public Schools, they are free, but they aren't as great, and you don't really get much out of it.

 

That's really all I wanted to say, please no one scream at me, I don't feel all to well. ^.^

[GraDoN]

eventhough WArner are dicks who do you think gives LP a couple of Million dollars to make an album?

but ya i just wish LP could make a sticker saying "Blame the brothers"

[GraDoN]

and soz fo doulble posting but LPU is cheap if u think about it.. i mean 32$ for a shirt and stickers and arm band thinkgies and membership and shipping fees is NOTHING

[LPpinkfreak821]

kid... I think you need to just chill. everything is money money money money... Even if your just now realizing that, its the truth. LP wouldn't be able to produce music if it weren't for WB choking wallets. It's paid for somehow. We pay, they produce, we're happy.

 

You definetly jumped to conclusions on that whole Pakistan lying cheating whatever. It's how the world goes. No one is perfect. LP isn't singling anyone out when LPU isn't delivered. I don't even think it's their fault. LP has always been about the fans. I'm sure if they could, LPU would be WORLD WIDE! right? It's not their fault that scams happen. So just chill.

[DarknessLover]

I love LP and I don't mind throwing some money there way, they deserve it for all the hard work they have done.

[Breakdown Conspiracy]

I DONT have to PAY becasue Hahninator is on my msn contacts list.

 

XD

 

Ill buy the single, the big fan pack album wid the 64 page book (from LinkinPark.com), and maybe the LPU 6+5 offer. BU tim not paying $ for videos from Itunes.

[LPShinodaFM]

I'll throw all my money at LP. lol, not really. But still, the world runs on money, and LP is a very popular band who's signed with Warner. Therefore, Warner will come up with every plan possible to make money out of them.

[azemkamikaze03]
