From what I heard this case has been settled with an undisclosed amount of money.

My question here is how the hell did a song, a relativly new song, that is on the radio even, from a pretty popular artist, manage to make it into Mazda’s commercial without someone saying “Hey, shouldn’t we ask if we can use this before we wrap production?”.

I could maybe see if it was like a 50 year old song or something and some copywright expired or something, but not this. Good grief don’t ad agencies get paid big bucks to avoid stuff like this?

On a side note, Rob goes on and on about how he has values and he doesn’t want to sell out etc… Give me a break Rob. You are the most over sensationalized, over commercialized, over played rock megastar of the fricking 90’s.

On top of that you say the words “Hell, Yeah, and OW” 60 or 70 times in every one of your songs. I can’t stand that shit.

So he’s as much of a sell-out as Britney Spears in a Pepsi commercial?

But he says “Hell, Yeah, and OW” 60 or 70 times in every one of his songs. I can’t stand that shit.

He sucks.

4

Unless he’s paid by the law offices of Hell, Yeah, and Ow, I don’t see how that makes him a sell-out. A lousy musician perhaps, but not a sell-out.

One of our favorite drinking games when I still had room mates was to drink every time Rob yelled out Yeah, Ow or Fuck.

What would really be funny is if B Spears turned around and sued him for defamation of character or something for talkin’ smack about her and “tarnishing her image” or some other legal mumbo-jumbo.

Rob Zombie sucks! If he learned one more chord, he could DOUBLE his musical output!

I think the only thing keeping him from “selling out” is that nobodys buying!

My dog suffers from dyslexia and a Christ complex.

“One of our favorite drinking games when I still had room mates was to drink every time Rob yelled out Yeah, Ow or Fuck.”

My family has a running joke about Sting and the repeated "eeh-oh"s in his songs. We call him Captain EO. Seriously. :smiley:

I gotta side with Rob Zombie here. I’m not a die-hard fan by any means, but I like hard rock and I like his music. And it is amazing that a company would just use it w/o permission!

Calling Britney Spears a sell-out is like calling Coca-Cola a sell-out. She’s 100% pre-packaged company product. She has a decent voice, but more importantly she has a pretty face and a hot body. She doesn’t write her music or lyrics. Teenage girls wanna be her and teenage boys wanna ******** her. That is the essence of her success.

Like HELL she does! :mad:

She sings through her dammed nose. :mad:

Her “talent” is alled added in the mixing booth.
She has no technical skills or control.
The recording engineers here in the Nashville area, who work for the big studios & are as good as anybody in the business, say the gold records should go to the boys in her studio booth, not her. They * laugh* at anybody who “loves Britney”. With cause.
