Jen Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Warner Music Group (WMG) announced a new senior management team for Warner Bros. Records, the label group which includes the Warner Bros., Asylum, Nonesuch, Reprise and Sire imprints. After nine years at the helm, Chairman and CEO Tom Whalley is leaving the company. He’s being succeeded as Chairman by Rob Cavallo, who had been WMG’s Chief Creative Officer. Full article can be found here Thanks to Xero21.

LPxDC Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 {Inb4theclose} I bet someone will think the lpu/lp will be able to do more cuz of tom leaving. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xero21 Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 {Inb4theclose} I bet someone will think the lpu/lp will be able to do more cuz of tom leaving. Lol You never know. I bet there won't be any drastic differences, but new management could mean some changes, for better or worse. Still hoping LP leaves Warner when they're contract ends no matter what happens.

Xero21 Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 When does their contract end? No one really knows (I think). There have been some numbers thrown around like "they have to make ___ more albums in their current contract," but as far as I know that's all been rumor.

There have been some numbers thrown around like "they have to make ___ more albums in their current contract," but as far as I know that's all been rumor. Didn't LP recently re-sign the contract? Might I also add that the member Kramer is a badass? Just since his name is Kramer. Edited September 15, 2010 by Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xero21 Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 damn that sucks. maybe we should ask mike or another band member when they have a chat in the lpu I doubt they'd be able to discuss their contract with just anybody like that. Hopefully it's over soon though, especially now that the band seems like they're going to put out albums more quickly now (though I'll believe that when I see it. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been some numbers thrown around like "they have to make ___ more albums in their current contract," but as far as I know that's all been rumor. I think when LP settled their label dispute with Warner back in 05/06, they signed a new, five album contract. That means MTM was the first and ATS was the second released under the new deal. So that leaves three albums left before they could either be resigned with Warner or be picked up by a different label. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hahninator Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 No, MTM, RTR, ATS. Dunno if LPU9 counts or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DogFan_LP Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Ah, sad. WBR does have som great stories to tell us.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xero21 Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 No, MTM, RTR, ATS. Dunno if LPU9 counts or not. Yeah stuff like this makes it confusing. You never know what counts as an album release. I think Songs From The Underground has more of a chance at counting than LPU9. And are we sure it was a five album contract?

annare Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Rob Cavallo? He produced Green Day's Dookie, Insomniac, Nimrod, Shenanigans and American Idiot (and My Chemical Romance's The Black Parade and Paramore's Brand New Eyes). That makes him awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoecoldnimrod Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 fan club releases likely don't count. only studio albums, live albums, and greatest hits albums should count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONDREUS240 Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 I wonder if LP totally dissing him in Meeting of ATS had anything to do with this...maybe it destroyed his rep, or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes him awesome If it is that Rob Cavallo, then I'm very excited. Rob has worked on some awesome stuff and a musical mind should run a music group.

ChuckCheese Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 So what does this mean for LP, exactly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McArt Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 (edited) fan club releases likely don't count. only studio albums, live albums, and greatest hits albums should count. but, does it (LPU9) count as a "fan club release" if it's released outside the fan club, on its own? It's unbelievable how many times i've come across it in music stores with an "import" sticker on it, and a price tag of 25-35 dollars, when someone could walk to best buy and get it, plus the membership, plus the package, for what, 25?
