Tabs are illegal LOL!!!

[Ahkei]

but many times lyrics just end up like they think they hear them, instead of the way they were actually ment to be by their composers. A service that would work with licensed lyrics would help to solve this problem.

If they did that with Tabs also, it would totally own.

I know they've had some really long down-time in the past, so it may just be their server down or something.

i was thinking that, but all the times when i couldn't access the site in the past it would be back up again within a day.

Well some bands don't include their lyrics in the CD inserts. The people who released the newest 2 CD Hellhammer bootleg (which their 2 demos) managed to have the lyrics for almost all the songs on there. These guys must've did it by ear because other than a few lyrics in Tchibo's Hellhammer page, none of the lyrics were in existence on the web...

Yeah I hate it when fuckers don't post lyrics, especially for bands that don't sing very clearly/have clear production. I mean seriously, how am I supposed to understand what Lord Worm of Cryptopsy is saying?

[austinsanity]

if the lyrics are good enough for to be put in the song, then they ought to b easily decifered in text or by ear, if the MELODY\HARMONY is good enough to go in a song, then it doesn't have to be in words

If you haven't already done so, would you all please consider signing the following petition? I found it earlier today and left my signature, it'd be great if the people who frequent this section of the forum could do the same. It's already up to 4400 signatures and if it keeps growing at this rate then the MPA can't just sweep this issue under the carpet and ignore it. Thanks guys.

Don't know how well online petitions do, but if it has any chance of knocking some sense into the folks at the MPA, then count me in.

[Tancred]

Yea I don't know how well they do either. I signed up for one that said to bring back 60oz of malt liquor that had a couple of thousand of petitions. I don't see any 60oz malt liquor in my grocery stores. I signed this one anyway...

[KIRK]

this includes regular and guitar pro tabs right?!

that is just crap!

[ZeikHunter]

im number 4625 on the petition now

[Leatherlord]

So can I legally sing a song in a public place even if it's for non-commerical purposes? Because I don't want to get sued by anyone for singing some lyrics
