Frank Iero sends statement to LEGO after receiving takedown notice over L.S. Dunes’ music video
“Spread kindness, spread the creativity…” Frank Iero has publicly responded to an apparent takedown notice from The LEGO Group over L.S. Dunes’ recent video for Grey Veins.
Frank Iero has revealed that L.S. Dunes seemingly received a “demand” from The LEGO Group to take down their recent music video for Grey Veins.
The guitarist says that the company’s lawyers have reached out to their label Fantasy Records and asked them to remove the video, seemingly due to it featuring LEGO mini figures.
“Dear @lego, why are you having your lawyers call my record label (@fantasyrecords) and demand we take down the @LSDunes music video we made for our song Grey Veins?” asks Frank.
“As a card carrying Lego VIP and lifelong creator and builder I am hurt and wildly confused. I have spent more hours than I can calculate, not to mention thousands upon thousands of dollars over the years, buying and building your sets as a child, a teenager, a semi-adult, and now as a dad who builds with his son. An eleven year old who loves Legos more than anyone I have ever met, and even made us dedicate a room in our house to building them. My family and I have vacationed at Legoland and my other band has been voted into your Lego Ideas program by 10k supporters as a potential future build set.
“I love your company because you gave us bricks and taught us we didn’t have to accept the world as it was, we could see what was possible and build it ourselves. I have taken that inspiration and created a universe of my own and now you want to squash it, why?
“Let Creators Create.
“Have your people stop calling my people.
“Spread kindness, spread the creativity, spread the word.
“Leggo My Lego.
“KTF 🖤 xofrnk”
