Here Today... Gone To Hell!

I searched all over to see if this was already discussed, so if it has, then the mods can delete or merge this.

As I've discussed in previous threads, every Wednesday a rep from Sanctuary comes on a local sports station in Minneapolis to discuss music for a half hour with the morning show.
Whenever there's guns news, he usually discusses it.

Today, he brought up the NY shows, but also said that he had just found out the day before that Slash is now also managed by Sanctuary.
He still dismissed reunion rumors saying it was coincidence.
Plus, he did mention that velvet revolver owes their record label one more CD, so that would put a wrench into any reunion opportunity as well.
When one of the guys on the show asked how many original members were in the band, he just said "one. Just Axl".
This guy isn't directly involved with Gnr at all, he's just a rep for Sanctuary's record label, so he's not THAT plugged in. But, he does hear things, obviously.

That's.. intriguing, if true.

Crosses fingers.

Now this is EXTREMELY interesting.

Does it make a difference? If both Axl and Slash are managed by Sanctuary?

don't think that's that interesting. if someone at sanctuary says there's only one original member left then I believe it. plus vr ows the record label a second cd thing.

Theoretically Slash can do both.  It's just out of all the management agencies Slash goes to Sanctuary.  Couple that with all of the other rumors and we have ourselves in a very strange situation.

this is interesting if true...

any official word on that? or online article?

Yeah, but VR could make an album without Slash... who knows!

does Perla work for Sanctuary now?

I'm on the prowl for something official Neemo.

Could mean that Slash will rejoin once they fulfill their commitment to the record label for a VR record.

I always thought VR had a 3 album deal.  I guess VR can do 2 studio albums then a live album if needed.

What station is it, Lesty?

well he said himself, there's only one original member in the band..axl

isn't the Slash and Duff lawsuit something to do with Sanctuary getting the rights to the old recordings and not paying them?

Mmmmm, weird.....it makes me more suspicious about the 3rd guitarist.......

The station is KFAN. The guy doesn't work there, and only comes in for 1/2 a week, so emailing the station won't really help, unfortunately. Anyone who lives in MPLS can listen on wednesday mornings, as he's on from about 7:15 AM to 7:45 AM. They also have a live stream at kfan.com
However, I've never made anything up on this board, and Im telling you exactly what he said. I couldn't find any reference to it online anywhere, but the guys is legit.

So he comes on the Power Trip with Mike Morris?

Yea, I remember someone posting before about a guy from Sanctuary that talks with a dj on the radio.  It's legit.

Yeah Lesty and the Sanctuary dude are both legit.? I used to live in MPLS and heard this before, unfortunately not this week.?


I'm not even going to get worked up about this because 1, it's probably nothing, and 2, I have been coming here everyday for four years and for the life of me can never understand the whole Sanctuary/Interscope/Universal/Geffen things and who belongs to what no matter how many times people explain it.? I think my brain hears 'sanctuary' and automatically goes into hibernation.?


It is kind of weird though because wasn't there a rumor about Slash's management (Perla) not getting along with the others in VR?

Naw I wasn't questioning the integrity of anything.  I was just wondering the station and all to investigate the issue further with them.    :peace:

yeah, and slash & axl use the same brand of toilet paper.... REUNION!!!   : ok:
seriously though ... just coincidence i think.

Is still wouldn't be Guns to me even if Slash did go back. (which is highly unlikely)

No, it wouldn't be Guns but it would still be an amazing combination if Axl and Slash would perform together again.  : ok:

It would be cool to see Slash and Axl yeah.. But Slash and Finck?? Nope... Slash and Stinson? Nope. Pittman? No.. Dizzy? No... The other guy? No....... Brain is cool........

Welll to be honest: I love Duff and Izzy too.....but I would rather have Axl N Slash over Axl N Izzy any day.......and I don't think that Fortus would be that bad in combination with Slash.....but it won't happen so......I really do hope they kick Dizzy out since I really don't like him.....

Yeah. I have ALWAYS thought Dizzy was a tool.... I know this is kind of a pointless conversation anyway.. But I could deal with Axl, Slash, Fortus, Duff and Brain...... Not a fan of Stinson and I think Pittmman is useless.... Or how about get rid of Dizzy and keep Pittman? Again though, pointless because none of this is gonna happen...

Yeah, pointless but fun to do. Well, I never liked Dizzy character wise so he's first on my "get-rid of" list..... And from all the new guys the only one that seems to fit with the old guys would be Fortus....playwise and character wise..... to me Pittman is useless anyway cause why the hell do you need synths&stuff when you got guitars? I hate synth sounds etc.... The drummer I really don't care for as long as he's got a groove.....Duff for bass over anyone since he can play a bad bass AND is a cool character.... and Finck seems like a nice guy but I'm not that impressed by his playing and I don't think he would get along with Slash that well since they seem to be opposites as Finck is very "arty" and Slash very Sunset.....

I think Finck is the perfect modern day compliment to Slash. He's extremely creative and plays a mean rhythm guitar. I would have no problem with him getting some solos either. just like it was with izzy/slash. I always said since izzy is never going back into the spotlight I think Finck is the perfect compliment to Slash. I'll be gnr to me only if Duff joins as well. I don't like stinson's playing either and I dont think Fortus adds anything to the band unless its N'Sync of course. I'll take Brain over Matt anyday

Dunno man... I witnessed Finck play with Axl and Co.. He was truly the worst part of the whole show... Besides Bucketheads numchuck solo and toy give away... To tell you the truth, Axl was the only one woth a fuck on the stage... Either way... Finck sucks, not too mention how ridiculous he looks...

Maybe Slash is back in GNR and VR will get Dave Navarro to replace Slash.

AMEN Finck does suck.

I remember the nY 2002 show someone yelled out..... "My brother is better than u"  :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: that fuckin solo before SCOM is the worst piece of music ever played.

Yeah it was!!  If I recall he did something just as terrible before Paradise City.... 

yeah but who cares how well he plays the SCOM solo. I think its safe to say Slash would be handling that one! :hihi: how well do you think Izzy, Gilby, Richard would play it?..problably worse than Robin. Robin's solo in Better and The Blues are pure class. Straight from the heart, all over the fret board. no recycled scales etc. His Rhythm guitar is awesome in Better and during his solos with buckethead. What annoys me about the new gnr songs is how every single song is the same 3 chords over and over so w'll blame that on Tommy and Richard's lack of presense :hihi: but with Slash in the mix the songwriting would improve 10 folds

NO NO top hatted one, Im not talkin about the SCOM solo, Im talkin about that horrific piece of shit he played as the intro  to the song SCOM.

What the fuck was that?

oh yeah that was pretty disgusting but thats just Robin being Robin. I just like the fact that he improvises. I'm a huge slash fan but I always skipped the Slash solos. Even when I was a crazed 16yr old fanboy. Godfather was awesome though

His improvising sucks though. Horrible solo.

I could play a better improv solo with my feet.

Creative & spontaneous

I too thought Finck sucked when I first got to know him back in 2001 but after yrs of listening to guitarists re-cycle scales I've come to appreciate creativity : ok:

Im gonna give him a chance
But I pray Axl didnt replace Buckethead's masterpiece playing on Better withsomething by Finck.

I a huge Bucket fan. I go to all the NY shows etc and there's nothing like seeing buckethead do his thing live and seeing everyone get so into it but Bucket ruins Better. Luckily Finck saves it in the end with that amazing Finck-esque, creative all over the fretboard solo and amazing rhythm on the outro as Axl sings "If I were you, I'd manage to abhore the invitation.."

intriguing is the word.

seems that Slash keep his distances with his actual bandmates in every way.

it's the impression i have, with the pictures, what Axl said about his visit...
and now maybe his management...

all seems a bit weird these days...

I'd be curious to know what that guy saw or heard that made him think Sanctuary was (still?) managing Slash.? As far as I know, there's been no official announcment out of the company.? ?However, a month or two ago -- before it all imploded with Axl's litigation -- the word was that one of the top Sanctuary guys was picking up Slash, and that was taken as one of the key bits of evidence pointing to a Slash and Axl reunion.? Axl would have had to have given his permission and probably wouldn't have unless something was up.? ?

The question is, now that it all fell apart, does Slash still have the Sanctuary deal?? If the contracts were signed, it may be too hard to get out of, and/or maybe they've talked Axl into letting it slide.? Or Slash is looking for another manager.

                   It is wierd that if Slash has signed a deal with Sanctuary. Isn't his lawsuit against Rose and the company ? Whats this do to V.R if its true ? How will Duff McKagen & Matt Sorum react knowing Slash may have signed with Rose's management now ?

this is interesting indeed

certainly doesnt make a reunion look any less likely

So, is this true?

you people are fucking tards! it has nothing to do with guns. slash will not rejoin he sucks!

Well there hasn't been any sort of annoucement about it and he is not listed on the Sanctuary website as a client. So I think its pretty much safe to say this is BS.

For the love of god can you not be banned.

More brilliance in action...without Slash there would be no GnR the way we all know it. And Geffen certainly wouldn't have put up with Axl failure to produce an album for 13 years.

Axl, Slash, Duff, Izzy, and toa lesser extent Steven and Matt all had a hand in making GnR huge and successful. :peace:

I believe that another message like this one will get you banned...

So all you got to do is try.

                                        Slash had as much to with Guns n Roses success as did Izzy. The man is a master guitar player and if he re-joined it would be huge.... :beer:

your a fucking tard......

So, my post didn't really matter, huh?
