I'm a musician/composer/broke sob, and still I have to wonder what the deal is with the artist/studios/whomever.. . . 

WTF is wrong with these people that they would stand in the way of this series,  in the name of a few dollar signs!?!!!

This series which is a work of art, and that they were fortunate enough to be asked to contribute to.  . ..

These individuals should be ashamed.

May a sickened wolf bite these unnamed jerks in the ass!!

As I sit here in complete dismay at the news , that the Television Series "Werewolf" , will not be released due to arguing over music issues. The only thing that comes to mind is , are the two artist envolved in the cancelation of the release completly losing it. I can only speak for myself in saying that as a product of the '70's and '80's I did watch a lot of  T.V. and alot of the music I bought , I usually heard on T.V. shows. If it were I that were presenting the case to the Artist whose names no one seems to know, I would point out to them that most music in todays age is bought via the internet from sources such as itunes , Napster,and many others. And those internet sources pay a proceed to the Artist.

Maybe , just maybe ,now if the people who buy the DVD's of "Werewolf " hear a song they havent heard in years , they might just go to one of the venues listed above and buy said music.

With all that said , didn't the artist in question get paid from the T.V. series originally ? Don't get me wrong I do believe that these Artist should get some royalties for the music they have recorded.But in a time when we as a country are struggling like we are right now . Maybe they shouldn't be so greedy.

I watched the series and loved it. I was deeply disappointed when it was canceled back in the '80's .I feel nothing but pity for the Artist that are standing in the way of this project from continuing , because if it is ever leaked who they are they will be getting alot of what people in the entertainment industry call " BAD PRESS ".And in all honesty I hope someone does leak it . These artist have made fortunes upon fortunes and for what they would spend on a lunch , they hold out on what could make them more money in the long run , and hold out on would be fans. I'm 40 years old , my kids love  the music from my generation like wise I love the music from my parents. I say this because the music from the show featured different types of music from country to rock. From Randy Travis to Mike and The Mechanics.

Wake up and smell the coffee Artist , let us have this show , all of you artist will be remembered by future generations to come not just by your music but by the fact that you showed the world that money isn't everything.

This was a DVD I was definitely planning on buying.

Thank you very much to Shout Factory for at least trying to release this.  It's sad they went through so much trouble (and money) putting this release together only to have it derailed by two artists.

If it's ever revealed which two artists were the greedy ones, I would definitely consider removing those artists from the seven radio stations I program.  If it's a giant artist that couldn't be removed, I would definitely put the songs in a much lighter rotation at the very least.

Music licensing is such a pain!

All anyone has to do is ask the Group of artists know as Metalica .Metalicas records sales dropped because of the big stink the drummer of the band raised over royalties because of  Napster.Granted he did have a point but he took it just a bit to far. Now the new music they have realeased is hardly played at radio stations. The old music isnt listen to hardly , And the New album they just relaeseed is basically a flop because everyone remembers what a stink they raised over royalties. They swore up and down they weren't sale outs and the they showed everyone that they are sale outs. I hope that it is leaked who the artists are ,that are keeping this Great show from the 80's being released to DVD , just so the world knows how big of saleouts they are. Shame on them. I would start a boycott against them.

We want WEREWOLF. And we want it 5 years ago. Please everyone involved in this, from the People at Shout Factory to all of us that are writing these Blogs, lets not give up . Just about all of us on this forum have signed the petition. I just wish we could get the rest on the petition to join this Blog.

Thank you Shout Facory for trying to get this project rolling , and for allowing us to vent our frustrations from our disappointments. Please keep fighting for this project.We the consumers will not let you down we will buy this when it gets released.

Replica, do you live in the U.K.?

I ask you this, because in another thread, I mentioned that the pilot for "Werewolf" was released on VHS in the U.K. and only in the U.K.

Justice, how come the other suspects aren't Merle Haggard, Bob Seger, and Randy Travis?

Also, according to n8wing, he said that Chiller weren't allowed to air 4 episodes (Pilot, A world of Difference part 1 and 2, and The Unicron) T. Graham Brown's song was heard in "The Unicorn" (episode 13). As for why the pilot wasn't shown on Chiller, I'm guessing they were too cheap to pay for those two songs, not because the right-holders wouldn't let them have them.

Finally, Merle Haggard isn't dead.
