They'll most possibly answer semi-positive, but please don't try to be our representative.

Most bands like to see tabs of their songs.

I haven't come across a band who don't.

- December Wolves

Maybe going to the record labels/companies first would be a good idea. In the meantime, December Wolves tabs are go!

Could you forward me their e-mail (alexk@metaltabs.com)?

Thanks!

People, please don't contact labels. I'm going to do that anyway and receiving many e-mails from different people on the same subject can annoy them.

Thank you!

Here's my tab of Smoke on the Water.....or is it? It's my interpretation of the song it doesn't mean it's accurate or anything like the original. Actually it's just a random collection of numbers that don't make up a song at all. How can a tab worked out by ear, by a fan. Put on the net with no fee requested so other fans could learn the song be classed as copywrite infringement. Surely the accuracy of the tab would warrant that classification and the only way you'll get 100% accurate tab is if the band's guitarist tabs it. Heck I've bought official song books with glaring inaccuracies in them even whole sections of solos missing and asking people for cash for these 'wrong' tab books is fraud surely?

I shall try to contact a few artists (most of the ones I tabbed are probably dead or senile!) Good luck Nomad.
If anyone wants any of my tabs just e-mail me

this really shit

Copyright: a document granting exclusive right to publish and sell literary or musical or artistic work

metaltabs are not selling anything related to musical works. they stricktly arent even the musical works of the artists, as the tabs arent guaranteed 100% correct.

it is exactly the same as playing your rendition of a particular song and posting it on youtube. to call that copyright infringement is a load of bollocks.

Man the reason they're bitching is because tab book publishers can potentially release a tab book, and hence they will not sell very well because there are already tabs on the internet.

But that's really bullshit because even though there are shitloads of Metallica tabs out there on the web, people still buy their official tab books. I mean cmon most average preteen guitar novices generally buy tab books with guitar strings or with their first guitar.

Cord progressions are like drum beats.

Do you think only one band is allowed to use blast beats? No.

Well, it looks like we need to give nomad all the support we can right now, i mean i don't think me makes 1 cent from the tabs, and that hes a hobbyist like the rest of us. and he faces financial bull shit with this whole thing, IF shit actually hits the fan for him.

Myself, i have been using tabs for years to help understand the guitar, and without nomad keeping the dream of playing a guitar alive, then i would not be were i am in my musical level. So, I'll try to ask a few people around here who are in some contact with bands like misery index, neuraxis, fuck the facts... and see if they can lend a note to their record companies like relapse and what not.

The only advise i can give right now, is when you google "metaltabs" you see a list of letter below the first link:

Band S, M, D, and A.

This means they must be the most looked at letters for tabs. "S" has a few "popular bands" like slayer, "M" Megadeth is the first that pops into my head (dont mean to start a " OMG dave mustaine is an ass grabbing money lord", but this MIGHT be one main issue to look at.) D, Death, Deicide, Dying fetus. and dimmu are the bigger ones. and well you get the idea. I would start there and work your way down the list (im 99.9% sure nomad is doing this). But i think if you were to send an email to chuck's mom she might lend a hand, hell she always have "support chuck, go see this tribute band in "insert country here", and im sure she would get her webmaster to throw something up online and hope others see it and catch on, i mean... what better way to remember her son, then learn the music he wanted others to love. also, if you have a myspace account, there are TONES of guitarist that we all love on there, and im sure if you messaged them the would see it faster then through their webmaster or record label.

anyways. I really hope this blows over, and we get back to having a well stocked tab site again. and that nomad does not loose $ over this.

*awaits criticism*

Mates, I will stress that again: please DO NOT contact bands and labels unless they are good friends of yours. Even then, better e-mail me their contact info and I will contact them myself. If everyone starts sending spam e-mails it will only do harm to MetalTabs.

I'm closing this thread. I will keep you posted when there're news.

Thanks everyone for your support!
