The Songwriting of Live Options

[SJN1279]

In Ed's head, he is talking about how he has changed from rock and roll excess to finding god/family. Many of us here twist it into him singing about how he has changed to become a guy who backstabs his friends CC&P. This is probably the clearest way I can explain it here for someone who is new to the board

CCP had no problem taking 75 percent song writing credit and money for songs that Ed basically wrote 100 percent himself. I think that is a pretty crummy thing to do to a friend.

I never said that CCP didn't contribute to the songs, but Ed was the one who wrote the bulk of them(hence why Ed should have received a much bigger piece of the band's song-writing royalties).

The band linear notes shows you which member had the biggest hand in songwriting for Live(and he only received 25 percent for his efforts). The seeds of discontent were planted long ago.

Why are you saying they are "song writing royalties". They are royalties from licensing. Not song writing royalties. (which may exist in conjunction with the primary royalties).

If you read anything I've wrote or what others have wrote you'd get this.

TV show plays the album version of Lakini's Juice - Royalty to the collective band as their work (drum, bass, and guitar tracks are being used)

American idol wants to license Lakini's Juice and it's performed by the house band - Song writing royalty.
