Here Today... Gone To Hell!

My bass players girlfriend works for Universal and she said they confirmed on their conference  call yesterday that Interscope will be the label releasing Chinese Democracy for sure.

People have ask here and again if it's going to be Geffen or Interscope. I don't think anyone has ever answered this question with certainty and I came into the info yesterday so I thought I'd share.

I ofcourse asked if they made ANY mention of the release date. She said no, but that it could easily still be scheduled for the 4th quarter.

She also said that they were told to get ready to start promoting and prepping for the album. I started in with more questions but she said they mentioned it at the end of the call in the wrap up session and they weren't allowed to bump in with questions.

So anyways, at least we know for sure that Interscope is the label.

"My bass players girlfriend"  :hihi: :hihi:


No, seriously. Very cool, thanks for posting.. For someone reason I do beleive you.. Keep an eye on Interscope's upcoming realeases page ;)

Haha....yeah I felt like a jackass even typing that.

But trust me, I sincerely hope this is a sign of things going in the right direction.

She stressed the fact that they've never mentioned CD on a call ever so she seemed to think it was a big deal.

Well, russtcb is reliable! I trust you, dude.

Like I said before on TheNewGuns.com:

Would it be coincidence that she had his convo yesterday and tonight Axl will make an appearence on VMA's? * hint! hint! :D

Hope your bass player's girlfriend is right dude, and I do agree with voodoochild that you are trustworthy.

they could start promoting it tonight

we'll see, time will tell, thanks for sharing though.

but in all honesty does it really matter to us who the label is :-\ other than for determining whether an HMV listing is real or not :hihi:

  :hihi: Damnit! I knew I would get bashed for the "bass players girlfriend" part!  :hihi:

If nothing is said tonight I'm going to ask her to call me from here out with any and all info they give her on the call.

Oh and believe me, as soon ANY promo materials are sent to her I'll be posting pictures asap.

That would be cool, but be careful with her, she may lost her job with this.

cool, thanks for the info russ , hope this thing gets rolling mighty fast, though I have a feeling the wheels are already set in motion!

I bet Interscope will fire all the girls that have bass players for boyfriends ::)

Haha... they'll do some sort of internal peronnel survey just to get her.

Thanks for the info russtcb

I am pretty sure the ball is going to start rolling again tonight.... : ok:

amen!

at least we can hope!!

it would be great if the bomb dropped today, axl would steel the fuckin' show!!!

Cool news, Thanks

I mean I know all he has commited to do is present, and that is all I expect, but I think there is so much smoke there has to be fire for something else to happen..... whether it be an interview, a performance, a promotion for cd, a release date, something... I hope that happens, but won't be let down if it doesn't. :peace:

Isn't Interscope a part of Geffen or vice/versa?  Interscope is listed as the registrant of gnronline.

  Registrant:
        Interscope Geffen A&M Records
        New Media Department

GNR are still listed under the Geffen Records website though even though the last release they have is Greatest Hits but they have the current tour dates listed here as well-

Be in touch with your bass players girlfriend    ;)
and if you can keep updating us  : ok:

That's what I am hoping for. I can't wait till the show starts!

who cares. CD is more important ;)

is fred durst the vp of interscope , who , also pushes dr dre, eminem , 50 cent , the game ,,,, g g g g g unit

i think fred durst is the guru of his own fanbase at the moment.... oh and he directs movies....

anyways.... i read some sick shit posted from him on his myspace account. the way he calls his fanbase and himself..whatever...


if this is true it could definitely mean something. the label doesn`t matter anyways... as long as we get the fuckin CD this year. thanks for posting though : ok:

Great stuff...I can feel it in my bones....

Ahm ... well, if Interscope is the label, then why is there a link to Geffen on GNRonline.com?


/lastroots

I think the full comapny name is

Interscope Geffen A&M Records

so thats about it.

(Just kidding folks! No hard feelings... Just passing the time while waiting for the Awards. And hoping to get some information tonight)

I'm pretty sure the ball has kept rolling from the beginning of this year tho.  ???

I think alot of people are gonna be dissapointed after the show. I dont expect him or the label or whoever to release anything today..alot of u do and thats why I say that. Dont get me wrong, i would love for him to say a release day but, I really doubt it. Lets hope so....

Jbat81, yeah but I think you better post it in the VMAs thread.
I won't be dissapointed at all. All I want to see in a few hours is Axl filling his role alright.

Sounds like progress to me...good news!

In that publishing deal axl signed last yr. w/ sanctuary he gave them dozens of new tracks so hows it interscope?

Publishing and releasing records are two different things.
Publishers deal with the copyrights of catalogues, if i'm not mistaken.

if sanctuary owns the copyrights how is interscope releasing material sanctuary owns?

Sanctuary owns the copyrights of all Guns previous material, I.E. UYI doesnt it? and Interscope owns it for CD?

That deal he signed also included dozens of new tracks

all those labels fall under the universal music group.geffen, interscope, A&M, etc.....

i won't even attempt to explain the whole publishing rights thing.

No they don't.? I understand the publishing side but sanctuary is a independent label ( the largest I believe)
 I don't understand how Interscope is releasing material that they don't own.? Interscope dropped axl in 04' and told him that it's on him to finish and complete the album, that they were not funding anymore money to finish it.

which I guess they could still have rights to it. but that is what i don't understand

didnt the greatest hit come out under interscope

yea they did to re-coup money lost in the making of CD.

How it works I have no idea exactly and am not trying to make this a whole thing, I thought somebody would know but I'm more fuckin confused than I was when I started :confused:

roughly speaking, the copyrights concern to a publishing company are for the music and not for  the discs.

Sanctuary does both management and publishing  for GNR and is not the record label of GNR. because GNR releases its record from interscope.

interscope/geffen owns the actual recordings made by GNR, and all of the rights which apply to those recordings.

sanctuary owns or handles axl's share of the publishing rights - ie, the lyrics and the music but NOT the actual recordings.

Example: Axl writes a song. He owns the copyright for that song.  A record label pays Axl to record the song. The record label owns the copyright to the recording. The song and the recording of the song are two seperate properties, the first is an intellectual property - an idea - and the second is a physical property - a product.

Awesome. Gotcha :beer:

geffen has gn'r listed as their artists: http://www.geffen.com/artist/default.aspx/aid/149
in the artists area of interscope there's no word about the band

I don't know why they would've announced that to the reps then if it's not true.

would it make a difference of what its released under, geffen or interscope ? not complaining, just asking ... would one benefit more then the other if it were released under interscope then geffen, or vice versa ?

They could put the album out on Rhino or K-Tel for all I care. I just wanted to share the confimed info.
