This is Tab Central's official tab display license enquiry thread. Feel free to ask about the availability of any band. Take it away, Will!

Ok Oliver thanks for the intro.

Can I submit a drum tab for the BLACK PAGE by Frank Zappa. I think it's Munchkin Music.

P.S.:What about statesboro blues by the allman brothers (bass)

[mrm06]

Sorry, we can't display the Frank Zappa at this time. Yes to the Allman Brothers though - I'll add it to the bass list. Thanks for the submissions!

[Willisis2]

You don't need to add it because I'm doing it. write on my stall if Zappa becomes available, hopefully. Thank you

[Willisis2]

Is queen's We will rock you available for guitar tabs. If so, I will tab it

[mrm06]

^ Sorry, all Queen songs are administered by - you guessed it - EMI Music Publishing, so wouldn't be able to display this one at this time.

My tab Statesboro blues has been in the limbo system for at least a week now. When it entered, it came with Help Us License "Statesboro Blues". I'm pretty sure I initially filled that out, and I filled it out again last weekend, but it hasn't gone away. I guess I'm just looking for some input

[mrm06]

^ I'll look into this right away. It's not anything that you did wrong, but probably something screwy in our database. Hopefully, we'll have this resolved soon.

We've got so many of these threads going now, but I keep losing track of them, so I'll just ask in here. Maybe we should sticky one.

The Mars Volta! Wax Simulacra! We NEED a license for this, because I just finished tabbing it and it's ridiculously fun to play. The album Bedlam In Goliath is published by Universal - are they one of the no-no's? Because it says there's 48 Mars Volta guitar tabs, but doesn't display any. It'd be awesome if this was just a bug...?

[Willisis2]

That is one insane song!

Yes, I definitely vote for a stickied thread. I think this thread, since it's simply about licensing, can/should apply to all instruments as well. Pie21, would you please do the honor.

Guess what?... We DO have a license for Wax Simulacra.

[Willisis2]

My statesboro blues tab I talked about ^ is now completely filled out. There might be a problem because it is a cover of blind willie, but the tab isn't displaying. http://www.mxtabs.net/view/tab/244731/the_allman_brothers/

Will do. Should I edit the first post to make it look like it was meant to be the definitive thread in the first place?

Guess what?... We DO have a license for Wax Simulacra.

! So you're saying we don't have any Mars Volta tabs, but we DO have a license? This is MADNESS! Submitted!
EDIT: Ah, I just noticed Universal is their record label but not the publisher apparently.

EDIT2: I just realised I tabbed Inertiatic E.S.P. (off De-Loused In The Comatorium) a while ago, but it's got a different publisher - EMI April Music. How's the license for that?

XTREME TRIPLE EDIT: Awesome! I just realised I can totally use Wax Simulacra as the default tab for Taboo

[Willisis2]

Can't wait for Wax Simulacra.

Thanks for making this an official thread, but note my name isn't Willis. After I made the name I realized it's Willis is too, but the reason I do Willisis is because for some reason it turned out to be one of my baseball nicknames, but now it's Willy K. Do you think you can just change it to Will (referring to the message at the top).

By the way Shooting Star is now in limbo, and I submitted Feel Like Makin' Love a day after that, so you should cross them off the list.

[pie21]

Hah, no worries. I always wondered why Willis was 2, but I guess this makes a little more sense

[Willisis2]

Do we have licensing for The Stone Coyotes, i think fat cat records? What about Reverend Zen, I think Blakjak Music Records / Anamosa Songs ASCAP?

[mrm06]

^ Yes, we do have licensing for The Stone Coyotes (Bug Music). Let me get back to you on Reverend Zen though... we may/may not be able to display those as due diligence.

[Willisis2]

Do we have licensing for U2 Miracle drug off of How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb?

[pie21]

How about the 1994 album Vinnie Colaiuta by Vinnie Colaiuta? I'm tabbing I'm Tweeked, but I prolly won't finish it unless I can upload it. As in I'll just tab the bits I want and leave it at that. I couldn't find the publisher on ASCAP or BMI, so hopefully you can't either and we can display it

[mrm06]

Sorry, most U2 is published by Universal Music Publishing Group, and we can't currently display those tabs.

I can't find it either, so we'll display it!
