Hi. I did a play through of Fallen by Volbeat. I looked up the music policy and it says that I can't use it, but I saw that Riff Repeater used it and was fine, so I am confused. Can I upload my playthrough to youtube without it being blocked?

Try it. The worst that will happen is they'll put a copyright claim on you and your video will go down, you won't get a strike. That happened to me when I uploaded my playthrough of No Surprises by Radiohead, just try it, most likely it will get claimed and all that really does it make it so the record company/label gets all the ad revenue from your video.

You will probably have no issues. I have my channel set so that I do not get any revenue from ads that youtube runs. Not sure if that helps but it might. So if anyone gets the ad revenue I guess the record company does.

 

I have discovered bands by watching RS2014 on youtube so it it a good way for bands to gain new fans.

Thank you guys for responding. I did upload it and what they do is they put a copyright claim on it, and they allow it to be viewed. Because rocksmith used the album version and the one Volbeat is blocking

 is the one they put on youtube i think.

I think the strikes are more likely when you try to monetize a video with copyrighted stuff I have never gotten a strike and have over 300 videos.  I had a couple that got blocked in some countries but thats the worst.
