No fan of Fox News but really hate awful music. Going to side with Fox on this one.

I hate crappy music, but Fox News is pretty F*cking Evil. Going to side with Maroon 5 on this one (never thought I’d be typing those words).

Never heard of Moron 5.

Never heard of Moron 5.

This is a good example of the state of cable news, with Fox being the worst of a terrible lot. Can you imagine Tom Brokaw in the 1980s even addressing something like this, much less responding with something like “Dude’s balding and wears a hat and his music sucks so who cares if thinks we’re shit because he’s shit”? That used to be the kind of immature crap you stopped hearing after you finished grade school, but it’s par-for-the-course at Fox and its competitors. 

They look like idiots pretending not to know who Maroon 5 is… -___-

maroon 5 and other vapidly banal bands of this ilk are the direct result of the music business being run by accountants from 3 or 4 major distributors marketing to the lowest common denominators…  the following article is still timely as record companies cling to old business models and would have bands believe it’s their only path to success:    

http://www.negativland.com/albini.html

It’s a comedy show.

Except they sold rights to their music to Fox, so he’s not only a crappy musician, but also a hypocrite.

Don’t expect some people to pick up on nuance.

Liberal idiots, but I do like their music.  But seriously, why do you libs whine so much!! 

Most of these musicians are liberal no nothings like OWS idiots. 99% of American would not know who Adam Levine is.

why not just invoke edward r murrow and walter cronkite while you’re at it…  watching “red eye” and expecting an old-school journalistic tone is as futile as watching “real housewives” and expecting wholesome, moral family programming…

seriously, i’d rather not imagine hearing tom lockjaw fumble his way through “dude’s balding and wears a hat and his music sucks so who cares if he thinks we’re shit because he’s shit”…  his speech impediment combined with all those s’s is fraught with peril…

 Methinks the “lady” doth protest too much.

You are the queen of five buck chuck.

Good for him for standing up for what he wants. Do I agree? …eh. Don’t really care either way. But he is pretty good looking…
http://elovehate.com/Topics/Entertainment/Music/Rock/Maroon5

You don’t get music rights at all.

One day all the Conservatives will have to play at their events will be Bruce Willis’ Return of Bruno, since every good band/musician HATES them and all they stand for.

Personally, I think this whole non-story is an epitome of liberalism.  Here’s the Fox News Channel giving this band (never heard of them) some free advertising and air time and instead of appreciating the possibility of introducing their music to new ears, Levine orders the playing of their music to stop.

The old ‘cut off the nose to spite the face’ maneuver so familar in liberal circles.

I know – there are many who will say they applaud his position out of sheer principle, right?

LOL…Moron 5.

Tell us why Fox is evil and why MSNBC is not.

LOL

explain

Fox can play whatever song they like under the Ephemeral Rule.

Your messing up their name. MORON 5

Well as long as Fox is paying the licensing fee for the song, they do have the right to play when ever they want.

It’s a comedy show. Think of it as Fox’s version of the Daily Show or Colbert Report. It’s on at 3 AM ET and they are usually hilarious. One of the three main hosts is a liberal (Bill Shultz) but he can’t stand fools either.

So they’re allowed one time use? Is the band compensated?

No, bands don’t have to be compensated.

The rights management company license an entire library for use, that is why a morning radio show plays a million different pop songs.  They don’t clear every single one, that would be impossible.  The rights companies license these libraries for a fee, and distribute a fee to each band based on amount of play and medium.  If a artist decides that they don’t want their music played by a specific outlet they contact the rights company and their songs are taken out of that library. 

So, basically Adam Levine did exactly what he is supposed to do.

Thats a myth.

I’m shocked that’s possible, as tight as recording companies are.

No it’s not.  It’s law.
http://law.justia.com/codes/us/title17/17usc112.html

The copyright act provides for what are called “ephemeral”
uses without the permission of the copyright owner.

The only income the writer and publisher receive for an ephemeral use
is performance income collected by ASCAP or BMI.

It says it’s a comedy joke. Reality begs to differ

No, unless its for journalism you’re not allowed one time use.  The band is compensated from a collection of fees for all the bands the rights management company, but we are talking about thousands of bands.  There are basically 3 major rights management companies, and most bands are a part of one of these.  So yes, they get compensated for how much they are paid, but its a horribly complex process which bands constantly protest.  Regardless, its the band or rights holder’s choice on where their music is played, unless its for purely journalism, which this show is not.

Except he didn’t contact the rights company. He tweeted at Fox News to show how edgy and cool he was. So while he is being compensated, he attacks the company indirectly paying him… so he is still a hypocrite. And being a bad musician was never in question, so we’ll just keep going with that.

what do you mean by “one day”?…  that’s pretty much the state of entertainment today, most artists lean left… 

so while there are fewer conservative musicians per capita, we have a much smaller sucks-vs-good ratio to contend with…  for example, we can offset bruce willis with kid rock, ted nugent with frequent “red eye” guests jeff “skunk” baxter or that frizzy-mega-afro dude from the melvins…  frequent guest larry gatlin with dave mustaine or lee greenwood with alice cooper…  or 50-cent with, you guessed it, frequent “red eye” guest oderous humungous…  

if i chose my records based on the ideology of the artist i wouldn’t have much to listen to…  but as a music snob in general i say that while well over 90% of bands may be liberal, easily over 90% of them suck…  so it’s safe to say there is a lot of liberal suck in the music business…    

Again uncleduke, other than the horribly complex process, that’s not true.

It applies to live, live tape delays, sporting events, news programs, etc.  Even soap operas and Etertainment Tonight type shows have squeaked by.

You’re misunderstanding ephemeral Turk. This myth has been pushed for years now, its simply not supported by copyright law. ASCAP and BMI control 90% of rights management for artists in the world, the rest are through smaller companies, one in particular.

The one use concept is inherently violated when Fox publishes the video online…thereby duplicating it. So even by your logic it doesn’t work. Also, why doesn’t every tv show use the Beatles for every broadcast if copyright doesn’t exist for live television?

Squeaked by isn’t the same as legal. I’ve actually handled major licensing agreements, have you?

You forgot Pinch.

Uncleduke, this is hardly the first time these issues have come up.  Bands have no legal recourse in these matters.  Period.  Don’t believe me?  Ask Dischord Records who didn’t appreciate one of their bands songs being played at an NFL game.

Put aside the fact that I’m an evil conservative and I worship the devils at Fox for a second.  Do you really think that Fox’s well paid lawyers don’t understand copyright law? 

And yes, I have heard Beatles songs in a commercial bumper.

And yes, I’ve indirectly dealt with licensing agreements.

It is a comedy show. It even features comedians. And they write their own jokes on the fly.

You can get chuck for $5? Do tell. Where?

Because, Good Lt. , Fox News employees are forced to skin and eat defenseless little puppies in Bill O’Reillys dressing room. That is a FACT sir! 

 You may condone this type of skinless puppy eating, but I for one will call it what it is…F*CKING EVIL! MSNBC hired Rachell Maddow. Almost as bad, but I don’t believe they partake in the skinless puppies. 

They play them as bumper music, don’t they? And if they ask Fox not to play their music anymore, I’m guessing they give up any potential monies due or not due them. Sounds pretty unhypocritical to me. And I still hate Maroon 5, so stop making me defend them.

And you got 14 likes off that one comment? Mediaite folks need to up your standards.

Adam Levine is in his 30′s (I think) and he wears those stupid knit caps and those arab scarfs in the summer. 

What more can he do to try to be Hip and cool to the urine soaked protesters other then say bad things about Fox News!

This pretty much sums everything up:
http://entertainment.howstuffworks.com/music-royalties7.htm

Turk, even though you’re a Conservative, and I believe the last time we traded barbs was when you were DEFENDING radiation in the aftermath of the Japanese Earthquake, I see that you are confused when it comes to music rights.

I worked at CBS for 4 years, and I licensed music, both stock and pop, for broadcast. The last 2 years I’ve licensed everything from Black Keys to AC/DC for both live shows on G4 and for marketing materials, ie trailers, presented on television and the net. You’re misinformed when it comes to music rights. The >5 second stings of the Beatles you’ve heard had to be Beatles related stories on the News, they can’t be on an opinion show like Red Eye.

What show is this from and how do those two even have a job on television? They both have a face for radio?

I think Mr. Levine will now be demanding that you not listen to his fucking music with your hateful con ears. I’d have to agree!

Not good actors. Not good at much really.

That’s comedy?

Does being an absolute imbecile come naturally to you, or do you have to work at it?

Mmmm. Skinless puppy eating.

Chris,
Bill does not make them eat skinless puppies, you missunderstood, he makes them eat skinless yuppies after he’s skinned them. No spin here, I’m just saying…

Uncleduke, you obviously have a working knowledge of filing for music rights, but the argument wasn’t over how to fill out cue sheets.  It was about if Red Eye can legally play that crappy song.  And the answer is yes.

If they were to put out a DVD best of, the answer would be no.  Not without obtaining a synchronization license.Trust me, Fox lawyers understand this!
Give radiation a chance.

No but Tom Brokaw can respond to those crazy fools on wall street with no shame. Fox is not the evil you wish to portray; MSNBC, NBC, ABC, & CBS are. And, not to mention the crazy stuff that comes out of Biden, Reid, and Pelosi’s mouth and you want to say Fox news is evil.

All you MSNBC fans are just jealous that Fox is beating you guys in the ratings…stop the hate

The only thing funny about red eye is people calling it a comedy show.  Gutfeld is an expert when it comes to broadcasting crap on a nightly basis.

Doubt fans of Maroon 5 even know what “Red Eye” is…  If you’ve never heard of them, you’re either older or in a minority of music fans as they are on the radio quite frequently.  I

But, oh the maturity of the orange me of Gutfeld & Co on their Very Not Funny show to play Maroon 5 and then make really bad faces.  The same guys with the “talking” NYT paper…  Oy. 

If an artist wants to attempt to protect their rights, I support it.  Even if the band sucks like Maroon 5 does.

and yet, their entire content sucks and is not funny.  even when the kewpie dolls come on to comment, it’s not funny. 

at no time is it funny.

What’s that say about CNN prime time which loses to Red Eye regularly?

If all the above is correct, their agreement is not w/ Fox; it’s w/ the rights holding company. Regardless of the laws, he didn’t handle it the right way if he really wanted Fox to stop using his music. My guess is that he doesn’t really want them to stop. He just wants more attention.

That explains all of the loot in his bags. That 1% fan base can make you wealthy!! Oh, and the people who have TV shows willing to disobey the artist’s wishes to the TUNE of a licensing fee, even when they host a show in which they MOCK the OWS supporting LIB douche.. they STILL give him some more cash. I LOVE the ignorance…

Because you refuse to ignore us?

There hasn’t been music for years.. It’s all been pre-fab

You never heard of them because you and your ideas are old and irrelevant. Just like the GOP.

Have you NOT been watching the GOP debates?

So what makes you think even an ‘older’ audience wouldn’t have the ability to appreciate good music?  This isn’t the age of your grandfather who grew up listening to Nat King Cole and the Mills Brothers.  Many people well into their fifties and sixties grew up listening to Jimmy Hendrix, The Rolling Stones, and other ‘progressive’ bands of the time.  Even me, in my maturing years still have the ability to listen to bands like Creed and Seather, telling myself that those guys kick ass.

So don’t practice ‘ageism’ (is that really a word) on the older listening audience.  Their tastes are probably a lot more diverse than you think!

No Chauncy – I’ve probably never heard of them because none of my friends have introduced me to their music.  Good chance that you’ve never heard of some of the great bands I grew up listening to either and it’s not because you’re young or your political ideals are any fresher. 

Go sell your stupid somewhere else!

I bet Mick Jagger is PISSED about their latest single. You know he doesn’t want to be associated with these fruity wannabes.

Also, if the song sucks, why were these assclowns playing it in the first place? And what do Red Eye’s hosts consider “good”? I know Fox generally prefers the dulcet tones of John Ashcroft’s song about eagles, but I’m assuming they brought Gutfeld on to get tight with a hipper crowd, a crowd that prefers Oasis or some sh*t.

Can’t WAIT to see the “deer-in-the-headlights” look on your face when we “irrelevants” plaster your asses in 2012.
Newt/Cain….2012

But seriously, Andrea Tantaros, you know who loves being ridiculed for his baldness? Roger Ailes. Absolutely loves being told that all of his brash behavior is simply insecure compensation for his reflective dome. Try cracking on him for it — he’ll probably promote you.

(1)  Maroon 5 isn’t good music;
(2)  Maroon 5 isn’t obscure, they’ve been in the mainstream for almost a decade and have a Grammy;
(3)  CORRECTLY presumed you were older b/c you had not heard of Maroon 5 despite the fact that they are on the radio ALL.THE.TIME; and
(4)  wasn’t practicing ageism, Mr. Delicate Sensibilities from Georgia.

Finally, the bands you listed are infinitely better than Maroon 5.  And those older folks had *way* better music to listen to than younger folks these days do.   

None of the above changes the fact that Red Eye isn’t funny and were whiny babies about their Maroon 5 thing as evidenced by the video above.

Well, I for one know that whenever I need sound economic, political, or foreign policy advice, I always seek out a musician.

Yeah, you should always be on the side with Wall Street and the billionaires.  That’s usually the side Jesus was on.

Dude, my comment about ‘ageism’ was what’s known in literary circles as ‘sarcasm’.  Suggest it is you who possibly needs to turn that sensitivity dial down a notch or two.

How long has Limbaugh been using “My City Was Gone”? It’s been his opening theme music for 20 years. I remember reading an interview with Chrissie Hinde years ago in which she complained about it. I always wondered how that worked out in terms of permission and compensation. Anyone know?

maroon 5: they wanted to have the stupidest name for a band but coldplay was taken.

‘F*cking Evil Channel’

No hypocrisy there………..
 

I guess I spoke too incautiously.  I should have said I seek out anyone in the entertainment industry. 

I have no idea who’s side Jesus would have been on — I’ve seen no solid evidence there was such a person.

Look man, I wouldn’t call on a musician for political advice, but seriously, when every good actor, writer, singer, director, producer etc, etc, etc, is against the right wing, don’t you think you may be on the wrong side?

Even Clint Eastwood hates the modern GOP.

Another one of the all inclusive set has shown their true colors. “We have to accept everyone…except THOSE PEOPLE.”

Ah, yes…the great examples of conservative comedy: Red Eye, Victoria Jackson & Dennis Miller.  Dennis Miller actually used to be smart and funny til he veered to the right.  Doesn’t he know that his routine flies over most of the heads of righties?

they have guest panelists such as andrew wk and king buzzo of the melvins…  and perhaps you haven’t caught oderus urungus of gwar guesting on the “red eye” panel from time to time…  gwar has killed just about anyone you can think of during their live sets, including obama…  i’d like to think oasis was killed by them at some point…  and their music is hardly what one would describe as dulcet, with such album titles as “america must be destroyed” and “scumdogs of the universe”…  hannity should book them for one of his freedom concerts…  

ailes is blissfully unaware of “red eye”… it’s passed his bedtime…

 maroon’s 1 thru 4 were also spoken for…

Oh gee another mediaite post that wasn’t proofread!

as for “taking them down”..  really?  did they “take down” Maroon 5 or only add to the band’s fan base and promote their music further?

and of course let’s not forget if they did play one of their songs on air they had to pay the rights to air it..  now that’s the funny part!

faux and friends are losers, unamerican, hateful, pathetic losers…

because i agree with MSNBC’s prevailing viewpoint and not Fox’s.

she uses shlepps like ostracario as a consistant example

the liberals have.

Thats like comparing the daily show with Jon stewart  to tom brokaw you insufferable idiot

no it doesn’t….unless your reality’s spokesperson….whom I asume is a stage name of a transexual at the strip club you frequent.

and yet, they still beat Kieth olberman broadcasting in prime time…

ostracario<——comedy

ah yes…a great example of a liberal who is unwilling to accept talent or success in an indivudal or orginization whom he/she disagrees with politically..

“Not good actors. Not good at much really.”

really?  whats your talent slick?     

Methinks?

What are you…a pirate?

So you think that Victoria Jackson is funny…now that’s a joke.  I still believe that Dennis Miller’s HBO special “Black & White” is one of the funniest out there, he just isn’t funny now.  The closest thing to good conservative humor is the Colbert Report and he lampoons the living shit out of you morons.

And yes, I think political comics like Bill Maher and Lewis Black are more funny, but not just because I agree with their political leanings…it’s because they are fucking funny!

The best comedy stand-up the right has is the weekly debates for the Republican nominee for the runner up in the 2012 election.  Now that shit is funny.

No I think bill maher is funny.  and both our opinions of who is funny and who is not is irrelavent.

No.

It shouldn’t matter. There hasn’t been music for years. You stole all the music i n the 90′s and destroyed the industry. Today’s music is all pre-fab.

I stole all the music?  Okay, so your a schizophrenic?

Funny!  I’m assuming the hat is easy lazy or balding, with my money on both!   

Ahaaa, the antics of the ignorant shts at Fox.

By continuing to piss off the author’s request you keep acting like the a-holes we all know you are.

Fux gNOpig morons, you are not gaining fans. You are pissing off more people and driving them away.

Keep up the good work!

And Maroon 5 still sucks, so I’ll stop defending their God awful music.

They actually sent a cease and desist order to Limbaugh back in the mid-1990s, and they quit using the song for a couple of weeks, until Hynde did an interview on WPLJ (sister station of Limbaugh’s flagship WABC in New York). She was asked why she had the song pulled and said she hadn’t, but that she wanted proper compensation for using it.

As a result, for the past 15 or so years, every time the show opens with “My City Was Gone”, PETA gets a donation from the EIB Network. And now you know the rest of the story.

Under “fair use,” TV and radio shows can use a limited portion of a song without paying any royalties.  A radio station pays a fee via ASCAP or BMI to “artists” for playing entire songs. 

An “artist” can request that their song not be played, but as long as the show (not a DJ radio show) does not exceed the limited “fair use” amount, there’s really not much an artist can do.

For someone running for a political office these “rules” do not apply as the use of a song can infer endorsement and office seekers must obtain rights to use the song if the artist or “owner” objects.

Gutfeld, is that you?

Red Eye is a hilarious COMEDY show that discusses current events and has a lot of fun with them, cutting to the meat of the issue and filleting liberal stupidity in general.

Your a sad little thing that is most likely offended because what they make fun of are probably your own pathetic little core beliefs.

Check the ratings…asshole.

Commie much?

We get it. Your humor is more into Saturday Night Live and the Morning Zoo radio shows when a couple of goobers laugh at their own farts.

Yeah..and it’s also irrelevant.

His talent: He can cover his entire pee-pee with his pinky finger.

How did he stand up for what he wants?? He didn’t file a legal complaint. He just tweeted like a little loser.

He voiced his opinion. Does it matter which forum he chose?

So Fox has high ratings. Does that make it a good News station? Using that argument, Islam would be a better religion than Christianity, since it has more adherents. Is that how your logic works?

Uh, Jagger’s been known to be a little bit fruity himself.

Logic is a foreign concept to you liberal moon bats.

Logic is a foreign concept to you liberal moon bats.

You might want to recheck those figures.. Christianity outnumbers Islam by double digits in percentage… And it might be appropriate to mention that in most Muslim Countries, Islam is a Forced religion while Christianity isn’t and is even outlawed in many countries..

Never heard of them because they’re a shitty group of a-holes that know nothing of music.

So you’ve never heard of them, but you have established enough of an opinion to knock their music.  God, your logic eats itself.  It’s a pretty dumb idea to base an opinion of one’s musical abilities on a snippet of one song.  Just keep sticking up for Faux Noose will ya?

In comparison, I’ve seen enough snippets of the tools on Faux to form a accurate opinion of the propaganda arm of the GOP.  They are a bunch of sycophantic, mentally challenged, racist, homophobic war mongers.  You know, it’s not like I heard Steve Douchy say one stupid thing and made up my mind right then and there.  Douchy and the other Fiends on that network have driven that point home for me.

look man, i wouldn’t call on a football team for political advice, but seriously, when the nfl gives way more money to the rnc than the dnc, don’t you think you may be on the wrong side?…

look man, i wouldn’t call on a nazi for political advice, but seriously, when every good nazi wants to exterminate jews, don’t you think we may be on the wrong side?…

look man, i wouldn’t call on a klansman for political advice, but seriously, you see where i’m going with this…

before you accuse me of comparing liberals to nazi’s and the klan, just understand my point is the fallacy of group think…  it’s been said that 50 million elvis fans can’t be wrong…  but the fact is, they certainly can be… 

If your point is honestly the fallacy of group think, then you would NOT be defending the likes of Fox News.

These are the people who are selling the idea that this administration deserves no credit for Libya, for Osama…these are the people who invented the talking point and hold to it like it was biblical ideology.

So before you think that you are taking the high road, see who is on your side, you hypocritical assface.

you’re responding to a point that was never broached…  citing their ratings speaks to their undeniable success, not to whether or not they are worthy of being recognized as a good news station… 

the same can be said of maroon 5…  they sell millions of records and are in heavy rotation on radio…  does that make them a good band?…  the fact remains they are derivative, unimaginative and if they had never existed the musical landscape would not have missed them one iota… 

did your grant from the ministry of silly walks get approved?…

Spoken like a drug addled, liberal moon bat. Shouldn’t you be in your tent at the protest?

You can try to insult me all you like, troll, but the question still goes unanswered.  How can you make an opinion of a band you say you’ve never heard of?

Oh, and you having 17,158 posts on FoxNation (and counting) probably makes you a professional troll.  Are you getting paid by the “moonbat”?

Chris has no idea like most of the drones on the left and the WS protesters. They just spew mndless hate speech. Another MSLSD drone. Now there is true hate speech. No news there so they need to stop calling themselves a news channel.  

So you agree with hate speech. Nice.

fox news is not a group, it is an entity…  your beloved liberal good musicians are a group…  but that’s no big deal…  when you have to deploy “hypocritical assface” in lieu of a cogent point, i can see my work is done here…

My opinion of ALL “music” currently being puked up sucks, Zippy. And I need not insult you. You insult yourself well enough.

It’s people like you that are evil. Making hateful accusations without any proof to back it up. Turn off MSLSD and Bill Maher,pick up a book and learn to think for yourself. 

Fox News acts in a oddly coincidental lockstep…I mean, isn’t it odd that every single show on Fox follows the same line, almost like a memo is circulated daily from the desk of some fat asshole veteran of the Nixon White House.

And for a dude with 666 and MASSMURDER in his handle, you’re oddly uptight.

Yeah, I’ll agree…your opinion sucks.  If it was an informed opinion, it would be one thing, but you’re a wingnut and we all know how you guys just hate to be informed.  It’s probably why Faux News appeals to you.

Brokaw is a news man albeit a slanted newsman, not a commentator, big difference. Calling Fox News F’king evil is pretty imature don’t you think?

Zippy?? That’s the best you can come up with?  What are you, 9?

Have a nice life, loser. I’m finished with you. You are nothing more than a whining, pathetic waste of oxygen and my time. Go on back to your protest, and wallow in your own filth with your liberal pals….

Because their not being given everything.

Run along, little wingnut.

Moonbat…cha-ching!!

well, try watching or reading something besides fox news and their agenda… you can catch cnn, msnbc, nyt, etc, in coincidental lockstep , only it’s not odd, it’s the nature of lazy media…

as for my being uptight, what was i thinking…  i’m sure you meant “hypocritical assface” to be affectionate…

It’s not the politics that bothered me, but the fact that I just didn’t find them funny.

Damn bsuck75, you just got torn a new one.

Maroon 5 fan base are homosexuals and heterosexuals who shave the hair on their chests.

(Bubba…it was a joke. I was being silly. I don’t believe anyone at Fox eats any type of skinless pets. Just a joke…)

Fox are complete Dicks.  And Maroon 5′s music has gotten much better since then. That’s when they first started out.  I think he should have contacted the right people but he does have the freedom of speech. And these days it much simpler to tweet then to go through people. I’m sorry for but those who think they aren’t good then you need to get your ears checked.  I mean we have no talent hacks that people love in the music industry and you are criticizing Maroon 5. Don’t forget that Adam’s team won the Voice. That must mean something.
