USCHO Music Thread: We All Have A Crush On Shirley Manson

Slap, speaking of REM, Automatic is a good "I'm sad and angry and I need to process this" album.

Ignoreland is still relevant.

How droll.

I'm not king of comedy
Grease the pig
Give a squeeze

[Slap Shot]

How droll.

Well, to continue the wrestling theme, everybody has a price.

And Michael Stipe's dignity goes wholesale.

I think that’s it. Why appear in the commercial if you don’t like the work you’re representing?

ETA: It’s not like you’d have ever seen REM doing a commercial while playing Shiny Happy People.

Doing something like this for an arena, then PPV and YouTube, then video games, etc... means the scale of use can go nuts pretty quick. But, this does appear to still be priced high, leading me to believe that they don't really want anyone to license it in the first place.

That’s the point. They hate the song, they don’t want it used, but people want use it so they set a high price.

It’s not like AEW doesn’t want to pay, they’re already licensing plenty of other music.

Didn’t they star in a commercial where they sing that song just a couple years ago?

The Geico one?

[Jimjamesak]

I'm with them.

They must be incredibly rich because it's been everywhere for 20 years.

I don’t know if it’s every instance but that’s what’s been quoted regarding All Elite Wrestling trying to license the song for Bryan Danielson’s (fka Daniel Bryan) entrance music.

TIL I learned the band Europe hates their song “Final Countdown” so much they charge $50k per single use for licensing fees because they don’t want it played.

Has this been posted before? If not, it’s yet another reason why the Foo Fighters rock.

Yeah, that's what I posted below actually. Totally worth posting again.

They do stuff like this quite a bit, but that is one of my favorite fan sit-ins.
