Title: Tour Sponsors
Post by: bigcash2002 on July 05, 2007, 08:57:08 PM
Does GNR have sponsors for their current tour?  I can't remember who the sponsors may have been in 2006 or 2002.

If so, who are the corporate sponsors for the 2007 tour?

By my research, there never was a corporate sponsor. With all respect to GNR, which company would want to pony up the cash with such content, let alone the chances of a show getting cancelled. Sponsorship would only go to more 'safer' type bands and tours. Or Hip-Hop. Metal is DEAD on Madison Avenue.

Especially in this day in age, corporations will want to do a commercial campaign tie-in, thus some quid pro quo from the artist(s). Like when you see Sheryl Crow in a hair color product campaign, or Fall Out Boy for a car company, T.I. for a car company, Stones for a financial company. There's appearances in the commercials and use of their music.

I frankly would like to see All Star or GPS...imagine Axl in his car heading for a gig, lost, calling All Star for directions to get to the Arena on time.

They were promoters not a sponsor.  If gnr were to have corporate sponsorship you would see lets just say for the sake of argument, walmart all over their tour ads.  or axl wearing a walmart shirt...etc.. you get the hint.

I don't think they were a sponsor, but in that cartoon before Rock In Rio in 2001 didn't he give a shout out to Diet Coke.
