Title: Saw this at MyGNRFORUM: Merck Says Axl Publishing Rights Not Being Sold Post by: 33 on October 29, 2005, 03:21:05 PM I just saw this over at MYGNRFORUM posted by Madison. Thought you guys maybe interested! Mike
Merck Mercuriadis, CEO of Sanctuary Group and GNR's manager, responded to the published report that stated Sanctuary plans to sell the company's music publishing business. He said the GNR rights aren't for sale. "Axl's catalogue would not be included," he said.

Title: Re: Saw this at MyGNRFORUM: Merck Says Axl Publishing Rights Not Being Sold Post by: jameslofton29 on October 29, 2005, 03:48:29 PM Why would they consider selling band's publishing rights but not GNR's? Very strange.
Title: Re: Saw this at MyGNRFORUM: Merck Says Axl Publishing Rights Not Being Sold Post by: ppbebe on October 29, 2005, 04:09:02 PM Why strange?
They just bought it this year. with all the bearings, they can't sell it. Title: Re: Saw this at MyGNRFORUM: Merck Says Axl Publishing Rights Not Being Sold Post by: Scabbie on October 29, 2005, 04:10:16 PM I wander whether there would be many buyers.
Title: Re: Saw this at MyGNRFORUM: Merck Says Axl Publishing Rights Not Being Sold Post by: the dirt on October 29, 2005, 04:13:09 PM with all the bearings, they can't sell it. Of course they can. If it's theirs, they can sell it. Title: Re: Saw this at MyGNRFORUM: Merck Says Axl Publishing Rights Not Being Sold Post by: jameslofton29 on October 29, 2005, 04:13:47 PM It is strange. Why would they sell all their publishing rights except one band? They must plan on really using the GNR songs. Probably more video games, movies, commercials,etc. Sanctuary has some decent bands on their roster. You would think GNR wouldn't be the only ones they would keep.
Title: Re: Saw this at MyGNRFORUM: Merck Says Axl Publishing Rights Not Being Sold Post by: Scabbie on October 29, 2005, 04:24:13 PM There may be issues with the court case that would also detract a buyer.
Title: Re: Saw this at MyGNRFORUM: Merck Says Axl Publishing Rights Not Being Sold Post by: ppbebe on October 29, 2005, 04:34:23 PM Do they say they'd sell all their publishing rights except one band?
Title: Re: Saw this at MyGNRFORUM: Merck Says Axl Publishing Rights Not Being Sold Post by: Scabbie on October 29, 2005, 04:40:48 PM It seems unlikely doesn't it, especially if they need the cash.
Title: Re: Saw this at MyGNRFORUM: Merck Says Axl Publishing Rights Not Being Sold Post by: killingvector on October 29, 2005, 04:41:30 PM Sanctuary bought the rights for twenty years. If they sold their time share, it wouldn't be permanent.
Title: Re: Saw this at MyGNRFORUM: Merck Says Axl Publishing Rights Not Being Sold Post by: ppbebe on October 29, 2005, 04:48:25 PM Again, they just bought it this year. I think they were sorta prepered for this situatin by that time.
Title: Re: Saw this at MyGNRFORUM: Merck Says Axl Publishing Rights Not Being Sold Post by: Scabbie on October 29, 2005, 04:51:41 PM Sanctuary bought the rights for twenty years. If they sold their time share, it wouldn't be permanent. That means there's a good chance of the album coming out by 2025. Wicked! |
