It's not about label, it's about separate bands, and I've never noticed any "label" influence on music.

worst record label ever... The most mainstream "against MTV" label ever. They are what they hate. When I was 15, I was too stupid to recognise this. Now I am trying to get lost of al those roadrunner shit that I bought.

"härteren Gitarrenmusik wie Alternative Rock, Crossover oder Metalcore" was is denn daran hart? alternative rock sind die beatles, crossover is nur ne kreuzung von 2 Genren und metalcore is nur was für emos... und emo mucke is nich hart... roadrunner sind eh nur n mainstream label was nur geld machen will indem sie modernen scheiss verkaufen!

i wouldn't say that about Slipknot. Slipknot was the first band on Roadrunner that went platinum. Slipknot has been signed since 98, which was before they realized they could sign all the major acts and become super famous.

because everybody and their mother who thinks they like 'rock' likes them. Which is the only reason why Roadrunner have them anyway. Just like Slipknot, and every other shit band on roadrunner.

I agree, they used to be good until they signed every single popular metal act.

a once great (late 80's - early 90's) label that has turned to complete useless shit.
