Yeh yeh, we know all this; and I understand the venue requires a license. The band doesn't need to ask for the writers permission though.

 

[LooseCannon]

Because of the license.

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

Indeed; but the onus is on the venue, not the band.

I believe that @Cornfed Hick has explained why they are allowed in the past. Calm down, Barry. Calm down.

Imagine my surprise, getting an alert that I was mentioned in a Sabaton thread?! I couldn't name a Sabaton song to save my life.

Basically, LC is right -- venues typically get the licenses. They are easy to get online. See http://www.copyright.com/blog/music-licensing-public-performance-license-synchronization/

That said, if Ritchie Blackmore actually got a royalty payment every time someone played a few bars of the "Smoke on the Water" riff he'd be richer than Warren Buffett. Well, not really, but you get the point.

Just name a famous battle from World War I or II and you'll probably mange it. Give it a go!

 

[Brigantium]

Please don't mange all over Sabaton.

"Red Runs the Somme" -- and if that's not a song title, it should be.

It is not! Try again.

EDIT: that's far too poetic a song title for Sabaton

 

[LooseCannon]

It does sound like an epic song. Judas Priest does have Sea of Red on Firepower which certainly seems to be about Flanders.

I want to hear this song so bad now.

 

[Diesel 11]

This might just be better than the original.

All seems quiet on this forum’s Sabaton mini-fandom group.

So... would anyone be interested in doing a Sabaton poll and discography ranking like the Bruce one?

 

[Ariana]

Goodness, man, how much free time do you have?!

 

[Diesel 11]

Well I’ve got mornings and nights free right now but that’s plenty of time to do this.

 

[LooseCannon]

School is starting, isn't it?

 

[Black Wizard]

Sabaton Open Air is tomorrow. Since they've already been announced for a special 20th anniversary show at next year's Wacken I wonder if the coming days will reveal more shows next summer.

 

[Brigantium]

And a new album, perchance?

Many albums has been recorded.
