Motley Crue Single Does Better On Rock Band

Erik J writes "Remember about six weeks ago when Motley Crue and Rock Band partnered to release a new single premiering first in the game before anywhere else? Come to find out their song 'Saints of Los Angeles' was downloaded over 47,000 times on the Xbox version alone, beating out digital services iTunes and Amazon, which were tapped only 10,000 times for the single."

The new Motley Crue album isn't on a RIAA label.

just how indy can a label be today?

"Eleven Seven Music was developed in association with ADA, a Warner Music Group company." says wikipedia [wikipedia.org]...Warner, of course being one of the Big-Four.
Worse, whenever I check and find that a label (seems) to have no riaa affiliation, and I actually wander down to my local (independent) CD store, I discover that it was still distributed by one of the Big Four.

I hate like hell to give them even a nickle, so that put some severe limits on what you can buy.

It's the infamous Heavy Metal Umlaut [wikipedia.org]. As you can see, they ain't the only ones to use that kind of style.

Also makes it really funny when you talk about such a band in a German speaking country. You get corrected almost immediately... to the wrong pronunciation. Or the right one, depends on how you look at it. At any rate, it makes those bandnames sound very silly when pronounced "correctly".
