crislostinvictory Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 ADELINE IS OWNED BY WARNER!!Its part of the EAST/WEST subsidary within Warner..And the majority of you have just read the punk rock 101 book and decided you hate Waner coz it's a major label.Warner Bros is the best one out of all the majors. Going independent could work for GREEN DAY coz have how big they are, meaning people would still buy their records,but to be honest, Warners not really done anythin to piss all off majorlly all this time, so it's all good.As for the HLAHG release, it'll come, just think about it. Why release it now on the eve of a new record? it'd be like over shadowing their new creation with old work.Like on BIAB when Mike says about getting out of that shadow of Dookie, GREEN DAY now have this huge shadow over them, being American Idiot.Just give it time, and stop crying about it.

Great way to go about it, a method that hurts no one but their own fans. Not to say Green Day should leave them, I'm hardly an expert on the subject. Just a shame they have to be associated with such a company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milo Goes To Pasalacqua Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Funny, i was thinking about this the other week. I would be thrilled if Green Day split from Warner and went indie. Even sweeter, they should move to adeline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drink Drank Punk Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 It's best for everybody that Green Day just stays corporate. It's sorta like jungle fever. Once you go black you never go back. Once you sign major label, you cant ever go back. There's no return from 86.That's not true. Reel Big fish did it.Here's What I Think Of Gilman :down:It's a lovely place.haha seinfeld... Dictator will be fine.Seinfeld is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexandrez Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 i guess green day could make it on a indie label.i mean, it would be hard to get a decent distribution and and all. but then they would have control over everything.it would be better on the long term i think.they probably would have to book only a couple of dates each time for the tour. like. book 10 dates, get the money, book 15 dates, get the money, book another batch of dates. because they dont have the money too book all of it. and maybe international tours would be out of question for a few years.and they would only get complete control over their CDs when they can get it from warner, otherwise, they would only get a small percentage of it like they already do.

novacaine_kid Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 That's not true. Reel Big fish did it.Less Than Jake also. They got fed up with being on a major (Sire records, who incidentally are owned by Warner) so they went ahead and started their own label out of nothing. Has worked out very well for them so far. I doubt Green Day will leave Warner at this stage of their careers. They are being kept happy by the label as far as we know, they have been with them for almost 16 years now, made them heaps of cash, Warner would be foolish to let them leave. So I can't see it. Even though it would be awesome if they did tell them to piss off and went indie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter. Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 This would be better because the band would have a say in when something they want released is released or even released at all with full content. (HLAHG, BIAB, ect.)They would have their choice in which form they want to release music in.Tours!And... almost everybody seems to hate Warner.Green Day wouldn't be able to manage putting out records in the amount that they need without having to work fulltime with it.

Hermione Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 ^Hmm, Warner are also holding Youtube hostage by removing their videos because they want more money from them. Fair enough if they want a better deal, but doing it this way harms no one but fans of their own artists. Bit of a shitty way of operating imo.

chickin'pickin' Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Whoever said Warner is holding back HLAHG? Warner is a great company. Without them Green Day probably wont be as big as they are now.If it weren't Warner it would only be another big name record company. They'd all love Green Day on their books.I don't see how some of you think Green Day couldn't go it alone to be honest, I reckon they've got nothing to lose and could even make a success of it.

The Punk Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Green Day does not need warner... Being on a Major label only means that you have to do what they say. On an indie they would release like 1 album very 2 years, which would be awesome, and would not have to create "alter egos" like foxboro or Network to express their ideas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hermione Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 The alter-egos would've come naturally as part of making music, Warner or no Warner. If they were that desperate and held back by a record company I'm sure they wouldn't stick with them. I don't think Warner prevents them from expressing themselves, I'm pretty sure Green Day have full creative control when it comes to the music itself.

chickin'pickin' Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 I really don't think Green Day necessarily need to be on a major label. It's highly likely that it's just easier that way. Think about it, if they split from Warner to go it alone, I'm pretty sure they'd have enough connections to get them gigs, studio time (Hell, they have their own studios I bet), equipment, gear etc etc etc. They're also extremely popular, which would mean that in my opinion they would not need much marketing should they release an LP or arrange some kind of tour whilst on an indie label for those ventures to reach success.So yes, I think it's quite plausible indeed.

RebelofSuburbia Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Green Day does not need warner... Being on a Major label only means that you have to do what they say. On an indie they would release like 1 album very 2 years, which would be awesome, and would not have to create "alter egos" like foxboro or Network to express their ideasThe fact there's 4.5 years between American Idiot and 21st Century Breakdown has absolutely nothing to do with Warner whatsoever. That's just Green Day taking their time and trying to reach the top of their creativity in stead of mass-producing new music to keep the teenie 'ohmygawd boulevard of broken dreams is like the greatest song ever and billyjo is soooo hot' crowd happy. That is sort of what happened with Insomniac, that album was way too soon after Dookie, they didn't have time to relax and really calm down from everything that's gotten over them after switching to a major label. And that almost got the best of them. Remember they had to cut down the Insomniac tour because they were overstressed and overexhausted. Green Day have enough status now to make a lot of decisions by themselves, regardless of the fact that they're signed at a major label like Warner. And that's why there was 3 years between Nimrod and Warning, and why there's 4.5 years between AI and 21CB. As for the alter egos,I really don't think that was in any way meant to make a statement. That was just simply the guys having fun, probably just messing around at band practise and then suddenly realise what they were doing was actually fun enough to record. If you state that Green Day need alter ego's to express their 'ideas' (I'm guessing you meant the more controversial ideas) you kind of missed the point of American Idiot and even some of Warning.

.Brian Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 but it would be so great if they'd release under adeline or a new label green day records - sounds pretty good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SetOnOverdrive Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Its obviously not a wise move for Green Day to split from Warner. If the guys really wanted something done they would have it done. Warner can't afford to lose one of its biggest money makes and Green Day are exactly that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
