Title: How long has Gn'R been off of the Interscope artists list? Post by: TrueRock&Roll on March 27, 2006, 02:54:16 AM I went to the website and they weren't there. Am I late on something or, or crazy or something?

Title: Re: How long has Gn'R been off of the Interscope artists list? Post by: pilferk on March 27, 2006, 09:21:26 AM About the same amount of time that Geffen has been off their label list..
As in: When Geffen started to operate as an independant entity, rather than just being a "name" used by Interscope, again. :) And you'll notice none of the Geffen artists (Rob Zombie, Avant, Mary K. Blige, Weezer, Lifhouse,etc, etc) are listed on Interscope's page, now. Title: Re: How long has Gn'R been off of the Interscope artists list?

They are listed on Geffen's site and Universal Music's but not Interscope's. : ok: Title: Re: How long has Gn'R been off of the Interscope artists list? Post by: madagas on March 27, 2006, 09:36:23 AM Do you guys think the record will be released on Geffen? Is that a certainty? I wonder if they will sign a new deal for these "albums".....any scoop on this?

I wonder if they will sign a new deal for these "albums".....any scoop on this? I'm pretty sure, given the information out there, the album will be a Geffen release. They don't need a new deal...they have a current contract for (I think) the release of 3 albums worth of new material, 1 GH album (left over from the last contract and rolled into this one) and 1 Live Album. The GH and Live albums were released already. Title: Re: How long has Gn'R been off of the Interscope artists list? Post by: madagas on March 27, 2006, 09:59:21 AM I just wonder if Axl is still under the original Gnr deal or if he struck a new one when the old band fell apart. It seems this is the question no one has an answer for. If it was a new deal, I think we would have heard about it. :-\

Isn't it quite a delicate issue?
If I remember right, they have been off since Interscope has cutt paying for the production of CD. /lastroots The New York Post article of last February says the label thrust a note of withdrawal from the album at Mr. Rose on Feb. 2 , 2004.

I shouldn't be reading the thread about page six when posting something serious. :P Title: Re: How long has Gn'R been off of the Interscope artists list?

So wait Geffen Starts out as own record label, splits into Geffen and DGC (the 'alternative' label), merges with Interscope, and now splits with interscope to becomes its own label again?

Mmmmm, yup...that pretty much covers it. They're still owned by Universal Music (who also owns Interscope) but they operate as an independant entity now, rather than just an Interscope "brand".
