Uniblab 12 Report post Posted January 23, 2009 He makes no money off the song. http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/9...r_to_leave.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_and_Roll...y_Glitter_song) Those reports are wrong. I read the English newspapers every day, and he is still making $$ off that song. Glitter only just "agreed" to be put on the sexual predators list (what is wrong with the cops in England? Criminals have to "agree" to things???), late last week. He is currently penning a new album. Regardless of whether he makes money on that song or not, I think there's another angle to consider. If professional sports want to project themselves as family-friendly entertainment, is it a good idea to play a song associated with a sick child predator? I don't think a lot of you fully comprehend the effect rape has on a child. My mom put it best: it kills your soul. Do you want to listen to a song created by a man who kills souls for a living? Not very family-friendly, IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He sold them all to this company: http://www.crosstownsongs.com/#catalogues They even list ownership of the song on the page I linked to. So does ASCAP. If he owned the song, he would get royalties from it. He doesn't. If he in fact have any royalties left from the song, they would come from purchases of the song, not from public performances of it. Recording artists don't make a dime from plays on the radio, arenas, or any other public performance - publishers do. http://entertainment.howstuffworks.com/music-royalties1.htm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's not just about the money. The person responsible for that song is a monster, and it projects the wrong image at the arena. The song was written by a violent pedophile, and sports are supposed to be a great place to take your family. Do you want your children learning to chant "Hey" to a song written by a monster?

OsGOD 3 Report post Posted January 23, 2009 (edited) Rock and Roll Pt.2 is my favorite song eva!!!!! Priests fondled little boys all the time and yet people still cram in those places of worship.... I will like that song regardless of the person who originally wrote it.. its one of the most noticeable arena songs of all time! I am not denying Rape is wrong or even a horrible thing... all i am saying is you don't have to respect him as a person to appreciate a product they put out there for the masses.

stellargirl21 0 Report post Posted January 23, 2009 Yeah the music at the Joe sucks. It's the same crap every game, every year. Tradition is great and all, but come on...mix it up a little. And Detroit isn't all about Motown. How about some Bob Seger or some Ted Nugent? I'm sure a few of their songs could get the crowd going. And do they ever play any Kid Rock?? The music there is just way too predictable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hank 0 Report post Posted January 23, 2009 I think the music selections at the Joe are absolutely awful. His selections are very stale, and I think the guy who runs the music thinks he's a little too clever. He's played the same music for every situation for years on end. You and I seem to be a in big minority. Everyone loves the same tired old garbage this idiot has been playing for nearly 2 decades. The clapping seals at the Joe froth at the mouth in anticipation of hearing 'What's Going On?' for the 56,494,395,576th time. I'd like to smash this guys CD collection - which consists of 4 discs.

hockeybill 1 Report post Posted January 23, 2010 And anyone know where I could Download Organ Music? Say, to put in for Chicago? Just last week I submitted an online survey for being a Red Wings season ticket holder. They asked me what I would like to see changed the most about attending a game. I didn't have to think twice. After being a season ticket holder for 20+ years I hate the predictability of the music. I don't care what they play as long as it's not the same thing over and over and over...you get the point, I hope. With so many avenues of getting the word out, why doesn't the Red Wings organization use forums like these to drum up new stuff to play? You mean you can't come up with more than 2 songs to choose from to follow up with when an opposing team scores. I think I'm more upset with hearing the song, than having the other team score. And why someone would want to replicate this on his or her gaming system at home is beyond me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HockeyTownHouligan 57 Report post Posted January 23, 2010 Personally I like some of the songs but I wish they would play more classic rock like AC/DC and maybe some Zeplin or some more VH er somethin. I like the cleverness of the goal songs though like when kronwall scores they play 55 by sammy hagar. that kind of stuff pumps anyone up young or old.
