new record label possibilities.....

**fleshandblood1990** · 01.25.02, 10:11 PM

I don't know what the official word is.....but if WB got rid of VH, i guess this proves that most big labels are a joke and all they care about is money. How could WB dump a legendary group like VH???? It's not like the next album wold sell bad anyway. But what I want to know is....what would be a good record label for VH? I know John Kalodner was interested in them earlier. Portrait/columbia wouldn't be a bad label at all. As long as they don't end up on a crappy label like CMC international or something, the future still looks good..

sony or universal would be my pick.

Thats my thinking exactly...why sign with a new label....Ed could start his own label....
What better for Edward to do in the post VH era??? [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]

Those of you who think they will get a big label deal with a 4th singer (if that is the case) really need to get a grip on reality. I imagine the fake Journey is already headed to CMC International where the fake Judas Priest, fake Skynyrd, fake Styx, and all the other former bands with one original member left are hanging out. Fake Halen will not fare any better.

that's probably why we saw a recent picture of Eddie with the fake Styx! [img]graemlins/scared.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/scared.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/scared.gif[/img]

This looks like an excellent idea on paper kevohman - the boys in total control of their own destinies so to speak. But unfortunately, any independent label could not hope to have a fraction of the sheer promotion and marketing might of a WB. I'm loath to predict this, but any VH release on a smaller label would almost certainly result in a fairly low selling CD - no matter how good, or who sings!

**Grover** · 01.26.02, 03:13 AM

The last thing VH needs is its own label. As if we don't get enough VH product now. Imagine how much VH we would get if Eddie is out scouting talent, producing, or worse dealing with some shady management types. Ohh, wait... that's already happened hasn't it.

**BEZEK KNOWS BEST** · 01.26.02, 04:34 AM

When I was at Universal and talk was going around, Geffen was the main label that was willing to take VH if they were to leave WB

**Eddymon** · 01.26.02, 05:00 AM

If they were to do a "Santana type" of album, then maybe Clive Davis and Atlantic would take a chance on them.

**kevohman** · 01.26.02, 10:39 AM

I agree Ford...a fourth lead singer at this point in time with any label is out of the question...
When Roth departed and Hagar came on the scene...this band was a high profile band...but now...being out of the picture this long with a new singer...yeah right....maybe if its one of the backstreet boys....they could get the teenybopper crowd...but hey...its all about money right....so who cares...bring on Justin Timberfuckinglake....
