FTFY.

Jon doesn't care about the infringement, he is jealous of their hair.

What about Bongiovi?

Still think Hell's Belles is the greatest name for an all girl cover band.

In the New England circuit there's a tribute act called "Jovi". Wonder if they'll get sued.
/Saw 'em once in Newport

I would sue the pants off Blonde Jovi.

Funny. If you look at the pics on their myspace page, it looks like someone was complaining she didn't have a neck in the original and they elongated it.

Seems like all of these girl-tribute bands have one really ugly chick in them that they try to hide in the photos.

This has nothing to do with copyright.

 
ScreamingInDigital 2009-04-06 10:15:27 PM  
Hell, there's a band out there called "The Iron Maidens" that uses the maiden font on their CDs and has a female Eddie ("Edwina").

What did Iron Maiden do? Catch their performance in a club, meet with them, and say they were impressed with the performance.

And oh, NOT sending them any cease and desist notices.

Bon Jovi et al, you're all assholes.

 
Courtney Cox-Zucker [TotalFark] 2009-04-06 10:51:37 PM  
They could always change their names to "Slippery When Wet."

/or Bon 'Gina?
//Bon Jovag?

Somewhere in the document, he had to remind them that this ain't a love song.

I'm a huge Bon Jovi fan. But this was a douche move. I know it costs a lot to keep chilled champagne flowing through your crystal fountains, but there is no way this hurts your bottom line.

I concur.

To expound:

While it is a really douchebag-type move from the band, it is within their legal right to do so. Just because Iron Maiden doesn't go after their chick band, doesn't mean that they can't or won't in the future.

But think about this:

Ppl are comparing Maiden to Bon Jovi. Iron Maiden is a kick ass metal band that has a loyal dedicated following. Bon Jovi was pop rock metal that struck a chord with a farkload more people. True music fans know Maiden's stuff by heart. EVERYONE knows Bon Jovi's stuff by heart because it was forced down our throats. You may despise it, but you know it.

You gotta LIKE Maiden, baby.

what absolutely nobody is getting is that if you dont enforce trademarks and/or copyrights you risk losing rights to your own material. as much as id like to trash bon jovi, they had no choice. this is strictly legal shiat.

i dont know about britain, they probably have different laws about this hence the iron maidens story.

The trademark/logo, yeah, I understand that. But making the girls change their name? Fark that.

FTFA: "...because they're scared fans will confuse the two groups."

I guess you can be a joyless douchebag and a witless retard at the same time. They must think their fans are as stupid as they are. Might be true.

 
Jak Damage 2009-04-07 10:15:55 PM  
The Iron Maidens will kick the shiat out of any of these girl bands....
