Guys, it ain't the band's fault that the license for the song couldn't be renewed for Hitman: Contracts - blame the publishers. Also - if they really wanted to re-issue Contracts, they could probably find an easier route by removing the track from the game (although that'd still present other legal issues, no doubt...).
Still, if anyone wants to re-experience Hitman: Contracts, they can send me a message and I'll help them out :)
@MadnessMeasured The album they released the song on was released on a WMG subsidiary, Warner's music label. They don't have the rights to the song, you moron, WMG does, and as you can tell by the past years of sueage majors are dying and getting greedy as fuck with what they own. This has nothing to do with the band, you idiot. Try to figure out what's actually happening intead of just parroting what you read on some dumbass forum somewhere.
Looking at the steam sale today and being a big fan of the hitman series (having owned the first 2 on pc previously & contracts, blood money on ps2) i was interested in buying the hitman collection, sadly when i found contracts wasn't included i was confused, i read a few forums and found out that this band being selfish and not allowing a renewed license of use for their song in the game, what gives?! if you make a song widely available free on a game it should be for publicity not revenue.
@clipsryan Clutch won't renew the license for the song to IO Interactive, and it's part of the soundtrack to their game "Hitman: Contracts."
IO is willing to pay to renew, but for some reason Clutch or their manger(s) and lawyer(s) are unwilling to. And rather than just replacing the song, IO doesn't want to alter or taint the original like George Lucas would and just stopped selling the game.
@DoctorWeeTodd They use so many of their songs for other media. Is steam for downloadible games? Maybe they want full price for any "new" Contracts game. Smart business wise but alittle extreme and unfair.
@clipsryan I'm not sure, but there could be another factor. It can also be a breach of contract that they may have made with another digital distributor. Some artists exclusively have online services like iTunes or Zune sell their songs, and having the game rereleased through Steam could be a violation of that, because the song would be inside the files.
this band rules - and i havent seen any of the comments except for page one and any one on page one that thinks this band sucks is a musical retard and should have horse shit poured in their mouths for eternity. thank you
I extremly hate this fucking band! what kind of selfish pricks bitch about a shitty song that was put on a game which ruins it for everyone! i hope this band knows how many people absolutely hate them because of this!
Well it certainly didn't ruin Hitman Contracts for me, I enjoyed the soundtrack very much actually, it gave the game a darker and grittier feel, which is what Hitman is supposed to be all about.
actually this song is a cover of a Mountain/Leslie West song, so maybe it was there fault? Or possibly the record label, or a legal reason....don't always blame the band!!
I watch him just as he goes to open the safe.He looks closely at me,just like he knows that something is wrong.He turns his back at me, for a few seconds,to get the pictures,and just as he turns again,he has little time to see the AMT Hardballer Supressed smoking in his face...
love this track, it's huge, now I get the raw recording on the album, and love it, but I would love to hear it with no distortion so I could crank it(like it deserves) without killin' my speakers!
no, if everyone listened to clutch, they wouldn't be unique then cause everyone would listen and copy them. and tickets would be more expensive because of demand.
That's your reply to me? You talkin' to me!? I didn't say everybody. I agree with the exclusiveness of a band not so popular with the masses of asses. But I'll tell ya what at 38 years old I'd like to meet people more often who like Clutch and not just something stupid or boring or nothing at all.I find so many people don't ROCK anymore it's sad! Shit's good for ya!!
Cudo's for your interest in Clutch, but to say its an act no one else has heard of...Please. I've been listening to them since '93 (not that I had the same respect for them with just one album), and have met hundreds of fans along the way. Hell, Bam Margerra even had them play live on his TV show. Right on though, man. Always good to know people still have some taste in this bullshit world of Fergie and Akon. I hear ya that its nice that they've stayed under the radar for this long...
hitman brought me to the weird part of music, but is really cool shit ;D
