Feist!! WTF are you on? Garbage and nothing more.

Uh, I personally think The Wombats are nothing particular.Plain dance rock/punk.
What about signing good indie rock bands like People In Planes, if RR wants to step into non-metal field?

This explains a lot! A&R guys like you are the reason why shit bands like Nickelback manage to get signed to Roadrunner!

A&R guys like Ron and that little Nickelback band are the reason we have the CASH to sign the gods of metal. Goddamn, eating is cool.

Damn Burman,....what happened to Black Stone Cherry ?
I guess it speaks for itself ..?

If Nickelback is such a "little" band then why the fuck is everyone listening to them? Quit spewing your hate and get a fucking life!

Yeah. Get it. Nearly all Nicelback records go platinum and even beyond...And The Wombats seem to have the potential to make it as well, for their CDs cracked Top 20 of Uk chart.
It does make sense to do biz like this...So ironic though...
RR is still the best in my heart, anyway.
