 ==Glen Friedman and contracts== 

 Foo Fighters' Dave Grohl about his first expierience with making contracts with Glen Friedman (Clash Magazine 2007):  
 ""My very first experience in the professional music world, I got sued. A guy named Glen Friedman. I hope you print this because the world needs to know. When I was in Scream, before Nirvana, there was a guy named Glen Friedman - he's kind of a well-known photographer, who took a lot of pictures for Def Jam and he took a lot of pictures of famous skateboarders in the 70s, along with a lot of pictures of famous punk rock bands. He actually had a book called Fuck You Heroes that was pictures of all the hardcore bands in the 80s. He makes himself out to be this real sort of do-it-yourself punk rock guy with a strong set of ethics and morals. My band Scream, he heard a tape that we had made and he said, ""I'm gonna start a label and I'm gonna find you guys a deal, so sign this contract!"" So we signed this contract - in a van, in a parking lot of a fuckin' Denny's! We had nothing; we didn't have any money to eat or anything, so we signed this contract, sent it to him... A month and a half later the band breaks up. And then a while later I joined Nirvana, and maybe like eight months later we signed a record deal. And I get the call, ""Well, I still got you under contract."" I'm like, ""Glen, Scream broke up. Pete called you. We're not a band anymore."" He said, ""Well sorry, you gotta fuckin' pay me off."" I'm like, ""What?"" So I had to give him $40,000 right off the bat. That was my first experience."""
