Here Today... Gone To Hell!

I was just wondering, any ideas?

No, none, but considering the numerous amount of legal procedures, the settlements outside of court, the cost of living generally ( house on hill + house bills+taxes++++) , cost of almost everything else aside, i'd say it's probably far less than what people imagine it to be.

Writing a biography would get money coming in.... :hihi:

Studio costs.....or are the record company picking these up?

Depends on what they negociated and it's exactly on this we do not have infos. If we did, we'd also have an idea as to wether bill rose wants an album out, or...not ?

get over it , he is richer than God, he would've released chidem already if he needed money.

This has been discussed before, anyway we are talking about?the lead singer from the biggest rock act band for 6 years. GNR netted around $50 Million during the Illusions tour, album & Videos ( DVD's) and merchandising sales, royalties, contracts...made him super rich.Sure the guy hasn't been as productive lately (well, maybe the GH Cd's made him a few millions...) but Axl is a smart guy. They guy sure has somebody managing his money.

I heard eighty million back in 2000. Probably less now.

Nah, HP woman is getting close to being richer than anyone. Axl's not even in Forbes. :hihi:

Desptite internet rumors to the contrary... you're not going to see Axl flippin' burgers in this lifetime... or his kids... or their kids... or their kids. : ok:

Mao, that's what my great grandad said about his family. He didn't know he'd have a son of a bitch as a son who'd spend millions to entertain himself during 88 years  :confused:

And my father who decided to get up from his ass and get serious past 40 with work, because he thought he'd be a multi millionaire thanks to his dad.

Didn't happen see, so i do hope for axl's family that he'll put some sense into their heads concerning money. It can be Very destructive shit.

I don't think poverty would ever be the reason Ax releases CD. I don't think he's rich either. He has his house and it costs a lot, so he could probably get a few bucks from selling that. Plus his flashy cars and whatever else he's got.
As for his house-staff and Earl - they don't do much any way, so I doubt if he pays them the earth, or as much as he used to when he was "Axl Rose".
Don't forget it costs money to put an album together and I don't think Geffen are willing to put any more money towards CD, and Axl can't afford to fund it himself.

This sums up what i thought...." Narcisse"

Yea, plus you don't see him in Versace jackets any more and "AXL" sneakers.

Well, we don't see him at all anymore really.. :no: God, the " axl" sneakers..so funny..  :rofl:

Also depends how much he paid Erin and Stephanie. They sued for alot of money in the early 90's then settled out of court. Also rumors of Illusion shows going past curfew and not making much on shows they were fined.

Im sure Axl can live easily using the past songs in video games, movies..maybe an average of $1M per year alone, not including record sales.

Anyone here work for the IRS? hehe

Guessing game is fun, but asking IRS is just plain rude !!! >:( ;)

:D bout 10 grand?
:D In lots of debt?  :'(

Would that make you haaappy ?  >:( :rant: ( where is my shotgun ?)  :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Axl's rich..but i dont think he has limitless funds..my guess is $50-75M.

His wealth is also tied into Chinese Democracy because of the money Geffen paid in advance to finish it. Almost $15m.
Thats not chump change to Axl. Especially if heaven forbid, he never releases it. These days who knows how to read Axl about the record.  But Geffon will eventually be trying to get the money back.

Geffen = UNiversal, right ? and Universal = bitches who break contracts easily these days

do any of you guys think guns n' roses are rich?

are they rich? AFD sells like 8000 units each week in theese times, YES!

coz their website doesnt look promising

Axl is worth like 80,000,000

Yes, it's true, the website is stalled due to a lack of funding in the Chinese Democracy project. It seems the first 13 was earmarked for production costs, and the last million for the site, but they are still waiting on that last million.

filthy rich

Izzy and Axl have to be the two richest members of the band, since they wrote most of the songs.

No, they are poor and homeless.

Man, that's a stupid question..

i aint sure coz rock at as popular as rap and r&b and hip hop (sadly) and rock bands aren't as popular as they used to be, just wondering

Dude..  :hihi:

Duff is pretty well off...he took his GnR money and put it in MicroSoft.

LJ

funny thread. :hihi:

Are guns n roses rich? Hell yeh - AFD, GNR Lies and UYI1/UYI2 still sells and as far as we know they don't do drugs (that could save them plenty of money).  They've got their current bands too - plus they would probably have financial advisors investing their money wisely.

of course they're rich... atleast Duff, Slash and Matt....
btw i'm new here  ;D, be nice
cheers

hahahaha  BURN!   :rofl:

gnronline.com starts later!!!!!

Axl's my new neighbor, he's fatter, bald on top with the rest of his hair long  ,has a beard that I don't think has seen a razor at least two years.....just kidding. nah, Axl's rich I bet.

Nitro I've been to Axls house and Slash's house. Slash is loaded and Axl's about five times richer that Slash. Ive seen  Axl at a strip club in North Hollywood sit down at the bar and put down a stack of hundreds that prob amount ta 10,000 and hand them to the girls. He's rollin, moneys not an issue. Sorry some people here are rude and unaware of your age or should I say there age, since your 15 it makes em feel like men :hihi: :rofl: 

Yes, very.

I bet that was just to impress CKY  ;)

R u serious you have been to both Axl and Slash's house?

HAHA  :hihi:

Of cousre they are rich, what kind of question is that. Well not sure about steven, does he still  get royalties for AFD, seeing as he was fired and isint given credit on the song composers.     

No. They are living below the poverty line.  ::)

I think the more appropriate question would have been: How much are they worth?!?!

Steven still gets royalties for AFD, Lies and UYI2.? And I think all of them are pretty rich.? :yes:

Well according to this, Duff just bought a new home for $3 million..

http://www.luxist.com/entry/1234000567064644/

what a lucky man

UYI2 ? i understand appetite and lies, but  he only did Civil war on that (i believe) so for one song he gets royalties because he was involved. Thats a sweet deal for him.

Nah, he just gets royalties for Civil War, since that is his only contribution to UYI.

Doubtful.

I think Steven still gives BJs for money. I saw him working the cab stands for their spare change.

LJ

poor in spirit

hell no! i saw Axl the other day on the streets dancing for coins. :P

?

Well, Axl drives a Lamborghini Murcielago. I think that goes some way to answering the question  :smoking:

Trust me, when your house is on this hill and your name is W. Axl Rose... You are fuckin loaded.

There's a recent interview where Steven said he gets 15% from AFD and Axl gets 25%, everyone else gets 20%.  I don't know if that's really accurate though because there's that article here on the Axl court case where it says he made 41%.

He sold that on eBay like a year ago.

That must mean hes BROKE.

...is Samuel Jackson black  ;D

Not doubtful at all. We don't know who invested their money wisely.

I heard Axl's a pretty shrewd businessman, and I'm sure he's made quite a few bucks in other ventures beside GN'R.

@#$%Funker

does Dolly parton sleep on her back??

Does Ken Kennedy like repeating himself?

Don't forget...all those t-shirts of old guns logos and stuff that you see at clothing stores now are copyrighted by guns n roses- meaning axl--so he makes a good deal of cash from that, id assume. A better question: how rich are the guys who are currently in guns?

Does Evolution like wrestling?

no, it's not, ...soon as well he'll say Axl is Jamaican so we all gonna doubt to answer!  :hihi:

as Saul so eloquently put it,
"Madness starts now!"  :hihi:

I don't think there's that much money coming in from official merch. Most of the t-shirts, posters and GNR parafernalia I have is not official.

My assumptions regarding the new guys

The current band members aren't rich. They are regular employees and I recall they make $10,000 a month (someone posted this a while back). Whether this is true or not I don't know, but if it is, it doesn't make them rich. Probably Dizzo has a few million in the bank since he toured for 3 years back in the days, but that's it. Tommy struggled financially a while back (if not mistaken, he had to sell toner over the phone in the mid 90's), Robin toured with NIN but didn't write one single note, so he may have made some cash from touring. Not mega I'd say.

And as for the others, I do not know in which Ventures Pittman has been involved so that remains a mystery. Brain, he problably made some decent cash while working with Primus but nothing extraordinary. Fortus, well, he recently toured with Nena so that says it all.

]
Brain is said to be very successful in the public storage field....

there are some jerks who still think that so yeah! it's also true that i ride my pink elephant to fly from Venezuela to Japan at nights!!!!     :smoking:

i think fortus have a few bucks he is one of the busiest studio guitarists in the bussines...

they aren't rich..... they are stinking rick.

yes, it prooves he is one of the best? 8)

yeah for sure he is one of the best... thats why he is a member of gnr!

  All merch sold at hot topic, which is probably thre biggest music/pop culture merch chain in the US now, sells guns stuff with a copyright 2004 or 2005 'guns n roses'----guns n roses is axl, so he's the one getting the licensing profits....I'm not sure how significant the money is, but it probably gives him a little somethin' extra-maybe strip club money :hihi:

 :o? ?:-\? ?did you honestly go to school, once? do you really think ex-gnr members didn't get a coin from gnr's stuff around the world? do you truly think Izzy's?a real idiot to write his songs while axl is the one to get money after all those concerts since 1992 to 2002?,? there's not too much money for them to get when we talk 'bout the internet n' its piracy but what 'bout the official stuff then?? ::) ?soon you r gonna say Eminen is richer than Duff? :hihi:

  Okay--you're obviously trying to insult me but i dont know why---i never implied the ex-gunners aren't rich or that they didnt make money off touring or merch or anything while the old band was together---the only thing im pointing out is that over the last 2 years or so, alot of guns related merchanside has been reissued with a copyright of 'guns n roses'---guns n roses as a corporate entity is owned solely by axl rose....meaning he probably has a licensing deal to reissue this stuff and is making some money off it.

what 'bout ex gnr members then? they're so fucking idiots to let axl be rich only while they've been a part of gnr too? ok, take a shower n' rest too, it's gonna clean your mind somewhat!!!  :yes:

 

    The other guns members are still making money off gnr---i'm not arguing that. I don't think they make money off this new merchandise b/c guns n roses as a legal entity is under the sole proprietorship of Axl Rose. He owns the name, and anything new that is put out now (merch, new music, etc.) is under his control. Of course, the old members are making money off royalties on old music, although obivously given the lawsuit, not what they think they deserve.

  I'm not going to get into a flame war with you, you're really not worth my time

I think GNR doesn't deserve to be rich, that's all
TOPIC LOCKED!








 :hihi:

ok, so why do you think Spice Girls are better than GNR then? they do deserve to be rich n' famous forever?  ::)

You are the strangest GNR fan I have ever seen on a forum. Who in the fuck ever said the Spice Girls are better than GNR? You need to stop sniffing so much glue, or at least switch to a lower grade glue. :hihi:

who are you to judge me? the guy once told me on msn that he'd like to see the spice girls on stage once again ? maybe for life so u'll follow me everywhere i go to tell me what to do? ?.all cuz of people like you Jessica Simpson sells out albums more than gnr today   :-\ :-\ :-\

The insanity(and glue sniffing) continues... By the way, the reason Jessica Simpson sells more albums than GNR today is because Jessica actually releases albums. I'm sure that wont be the case when Jessica makes a fruitless attempt to "bury" her first album. :hihi: Just because some guy on MSN wants the Spice Girls onstage doesn't mean people at this forum think the the Spice Girls are better than GNR. When Izzy wrote the line " No logic here today:, I think he had a psychic vision of Ven's brain. :hihi:

I thought bad obsession?s been written for ya ... eminem is richer than Axl, that's what you think everytime you sing eminem songs alone in ur room
