Skipees Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I wouldn't want LP to leave Warner because it would mean that they couldn't release old stuff to the LPU anymore. LPU released under Machine Shop, i guess the band share rights with warner only on warner releases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gorast Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Warner still owns all of the rights to LP's entire catalogue. Machine Shop is an imprint of Warner - that means everything Machine Shop releases belongs to Warner. If LP leaves Warner, they lose Machine Shop.

Skipees Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 so what's the reason that on the album's back covers there is warner bros. logo, exept from the LPU cd's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gorast Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 They're not commercially available, so there's no need to put Warner's logo on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToddWilliamson Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 (edited) This is a relatively misinformed comment so please correct me if I'm wrong. I don't believe a lot will change on the direct LP front however I think discontinuing the Warner contract will allow room for side projects to grow e.g. Machine Shop Recordings amongst other projects. Warner seems to stem projects which makes me wonder if Mike has been abstaining from a new Fort Minor album until the contract with Warner has ended. As I stated before, a misinformed statement so please feel free to correct me. EDIT: Just read above statements about Machine Shop. Damn that's a shame because Mike & Brad were super passionate about MSR. Edited January 29, 2013 by ToddWilliamson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qwerty18 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 (edited) I don't see anything negative about LP renewing their contract with Warner. The band seems to be free creatively, and the fact LP still is under Warner allows us to hear those old LP demos each year. And also, I'm pretty sure LP would loose a lot of popularity if it was not for Warner promotion. Honestly, I think that a lot of the people who want LP to leave Warner think that way because they assume LP will become much more creative if they go indie. Especially those who believe Living Things was made because of label pressure. This whole argument sounds artificial to me; I really think LP is doing what they want musically nowadays. So yes, if LP wants to leave, it's fine, and if they don't, it's fine. It really doesn't matter to me as long as they deliver music I enjoy.

gorast Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Way more expensive and way less useful (even less than it already is). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONDREUS240 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I doubt that they're actually going to leave Warner. They have them wrapped around their finger right now and they can do whatever they want. Promotion for most of the singles on LT were pathetic, but I still hear BID on the radio still to this day...actually, I did hear it on the radio today xD Even when the album was early in its release, I would hear a whole ton of LT songs on the radio. RU was even on there once. Its just their recent singles that have been not performing well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geki Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I still think LITE as the first single would have got everyone so pumped up for the album. It's like Hybrid Theory 2012 version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hahninator Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 The band seems to be free creatively Almost. *cough*What I've Done*cough* And maybe some others we don't know about, but that album was a while ago I guess. But the ATS DVD talks about that stuff....look how much stress Tom Whalley put on the band when they were doing ATS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gorast Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I guess in that case Warner wanted a really, really good follow-up to MTM, which came out of fucking nowhere and went gold in its first week. Then they were handed ATS and gave up on LP, maybe. I don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geki Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Almost. *cough*What I've Done*cough* And maybe some others we don't know about, but that album was a while ago I guess. But the ATS DVD talks about that stuff....look how much stress Tom Whalley put on the band when they were doing ATS. I remember someone in the band said the label wanted them to make a song that blended their old style with their new style on MTM, so the band made What I've Done, and lyrically it was about how the band evolved into who they are today. If LP released MTM without What I've Done, there would have been a shit storm everywhere. What I've Done is my favorite LP song of all time and it always will be, but I appreciate MTM and ATS more than any of their other albums because they are different. I think the band wanted to make a song like What I've Done. I don't think the label has full creative control anymore like they did back in HT times. BID, LITE, LGM, Victimized all sound like the 'original' LP more than WID ever did. I'm thinking the band wanted to make some songs like that.

Tom Whalley left Warner in 2010 (right around the release of ATS, coincidence?), problem solved I guess haha. Btw he joined in Warner in 2001.
