Thank you ladies and gentlemen, I'll be here all night, please tip your waitresses kindly!

Hi my name is Barry and i'm doin a college course and for one of my units we had to design a video juke box. i based mine on bands from roadrunner its finished and i hope to put it on my website but was wondering how to go around it with out being sued ?

yours Sincerely Barry

Our lawyer action team is on the way to your house right now. They're going to kick down your door and promptly kick your ass for the mere mention of using a NICKELBACK song. That's right, Barry. You better watch yourself because Canadian justice is on its way!!

Hey,
i was just wondering, but where is road runners records located in the United States?

Thank You,
Shayna

This mail, as well as the next one came into the box right after one another. It's enough to make a customer service representative snap, which is funny because I'm not a customer srevice rep.

Hey guys i was wondering where abouts is roadrunner located? state?, city?

thanks Brandon

Shayna, Brandon, I'm not going to tell you. Our address is printed in all of our releases and is featured on this very website (!!!!!). I don't think you've deserve the answers you seek so easily from myself.

Hi, my name is Nathan and I am a huge fan of rock n roll and metal. I am especially a big fan of death metal, which brings me to my concern. I am 17 years old and obviously I was not old enough to really dig music and get into two amazing bands: Pestilence and Gorguts. From my research, I have discovered that some classic albums by Pestilence and Gorguts have been out of print for quite some time now. Honestly, I am a bit confused on what Pestilence and Gorguts albums Roadrunner has re released, so can you please clear this up for me? To get to the point, I am just requesting that Roadrunner re release all the Gorguts and Pestilence albums that you guys have your hands on so my generation of metalheads have the chance to listen and learn to respect the greatness of Pestilence and Gorguts. Please repond and give me details. Thank you.

Sincerely,
Nathan

Hey Nathan, glad to see you're interested in some classic, brutal metal, as every 17 year old should.
In 2003, we released a special PESTILENCE double-cd package Consuming Impulse/Testimony Of The Ancients and in 2004, we released a special GORGUTS double-cd package Considered Dead/The Erosion Of Sanity. I've seen them in stores myself and they're readily availible at various online retailers (try Itunes, too) so you should be able to have these re-released in your grubby little hands with relative ease.

Hey I wanted to know if you were looking for a lead singer,or some new potential for a band.Thanks

Actually yes we are! Go to Craig's List's musician section and search out "lead singer." See those hundreds of entries? That's us, all of them.
Good luck!

Fuck you

you cant keep Cradle of Filth down by banning their cover art.
all your doing is hurting the band by not letting them show thier true colors
signing on to RR is the worst thing they ever did.

so thanks for fucking them over

ASS HOLE!

Alright, you caught us. We want the label to do bad, so starting with the new CRADLE OF FILTH album, we will actually be censoring everything. That's right! We're even going to go back into the vaults and replace things that are only mildly offensive.
SLIPKNOT will now wear masks in the image of the Care Bears.
No band is allowed to growl anymore. All growling will be replaced by high pitched whining and rapping.
DEVILDRIVER will now be known as God's chauffeur.
All swear words will be replaced by more soothing words like "fluffy", "bunny" and "love."
All DEICIDE albums will retain their artwork, but the music will be replaced by the stylings of American Idol runner-up, Justin Guarini.

To us "fucking over" CRADLE OF FILTH, you're plenty welcome! Their album change, as well as well as the changes to others like the ones mentioned above is for your protection. Welcome to a nicer, safer Roadrunner Records.

Oh yeah, "Asshole" is one word.

Hello. I did not know where to send, therefore have solved to you! So i have one idea about SlipKnot songs and with translations to Russian. And that's it - i cant do it without your, i mean, Road Runner Record sanction? I think, that my idea will be interested to read. If you want to know it, please answer to me.

"So i have one idea about SlipKnot songs and with translations to Russian. And that's it"

That's less an idea and more of a suggestion. An idea typically involves thought and planning. Perhaps if you would have said "I think someone should translate Slipknot songs into Russian," it would have made more sense.
Thus far, your "idea" was very "interested" to read, but it is not planned out very well. No logistics. Plan it out more, pay Slipknot and Roadrunner and handsome sum and maybe we'll talk...or not.

Hello, my name is Katie and I am doing a study at my college on different corporations behind record labels. I was curious to know what corporation or who the ultimate owner of Roadrunner Records was?
Thank you for your time,
Katie

Joey Jordison.
I thought everybody knew that by now.

Just a note to let you know that after researching through the "Links" for the band Nickelback, a vast majority of these sites are de-funked and some haven't been updated for years. Go ahead, ignore me, I am sure you have a multitude of priorities at an extreme volume and this is insignificant. Go ahead, I already gave you permission to be guiltless.

I'm ignoring you without guilt.





Ok, so maybe I'm not...

We're a pretty busy bunch around the office so sometimes it takes a while to get things done on the website. Take this section for example. It hasn't been updated since 2004, but see this sentence? It was written in 2006 and will be posted in 2006. The wheels are starting to roll again. Speaking getting things going in 2006, we've got some great things lined up for the website (the "In The Pit" section especially) lined up for the rest of the year, so be on the lookout. Hell, we may even fix up those NICKELBACK links by 2010!

Hey could you send me some free stuff?

Well, if you give us a Nerf bazooka, a PS3 for everyone in the office and your first born child, we might consider giving you a sticker. What do you think? Deal?

Thus ends this weeks mailbag. I promise there will be another update soon and it will be quicker than 2 years. Really. It might even be next week! Cross your fingers, folks.
