Testament - Fans Can Own Shares Of 'Native Blood' Song

After Queensrÿche offered investors a chance to buy a stake in the band, thrashers Testament are now following suit. The band is giving fans a chance to own shares of their song "Native Blood" (from 2012's album Dark Roots Of Earth). For the first time in history, Testament is allowing you to own what no fan has owned before.

The "Songshares" are being offered by the band in conjunction with the New York Rock Exchange. Fans can purchase ownership shares in the copyrights of "Native Blood" and become part owners of the song. You can get all the details over here.

"Native Blood" Songshares, which range in price from $15 to $100, include a hand-signed (by Testament's Chuck Billy and Eric Peterson) Gold NYRE share certificate (these are for the first 100 shares only; there are only 100 available) and a hand-numbered lithograph of original "Native Blood" artwork that's available only to NYRE shareholders.

All Songshare holders, who will become official co-owners of the song, will get a digital certificate of ownership that can be posted to social media. Fans also will have access to an exclusive conference call with Testament's Eric and Chuck, early access to the band's upcoming 2015 album and more.

"Native Blood" shares are available for fans now.

No. Songshares are for entertainment purposes only. They are not securities, and do not provide a financial interest in the song." I have no fucking clue what is their worth other than being collectable items (some kind of merchandise). I think calling them "shares" or "stakes" is grossly misleading. You're not owning any fucking thing in the song! Loading...

Let me try to get in and see if I'm an shareholder of "Native Blood" or not. This is coming from a guy who trade in MCX(Multi Commodity Exchange) market putting small stakes on gold, silver or crude oil quite a lot. Not a permament resident of India, otherwise I would have been shareholder of many big companies in BSE(Bombay Stock Exchange). ---- Cynic's Metal On Spotify Cynic's Stoner/Sludge/Doom On Spotify Loading...

Wouldn't want to miss out on that now! : Can only imagine how this "conference call" will go...sounds like the ridiculous fan raffle we had going at HMV back when I was still working there where Justin Bieber fans got to win a phone call with him lol (as an aside, also during this promo we got a terrifying life sized cut out of Justin Bieber to put up in the store that some "lucky" fan got to take home ) Loading...
