[Nytunz]

Damn, this site shouldent be fucking bullshitting

[Chandler]

Maybe this has something to do with the "legal issues" holding up the release of CD 

[Thorazine Shuffle]

I'm surprised that something as important as a publishing deal wasn't done before now.  Perhaps this is PART of the legal process that Axl and Co. were referring to.

[Nytunz]

it could be. Anyone registerd on that site? login and read the rest...
It could be the first move, that makes the ball rolling!

[Sino-lieS]

Sanctuary signs Rose
24 January 2005 - 10:40:00

Sanctuary Music Publishing has today signed the publishing for Guns 'N Roses legend Axl Rose.

The deal, which was confirmed by Sanctuary today, covers all catalogue on futures for the composer, including classics such as G'N'R's Sweet Child Of Mine.

It also follows a year after the company - a division of the 360 degree Sanctuary Music Group - announced its deal to sign UB40's catalogue at Midem 2004. It has also recently signed a deal with Kobalt Music to use its technologies for administration purposes.

A spokesperson for Sanctuary Group says the deal represents the latest step in building the SMP portfolio; publishing is a strategic priority for the group, he says.

I dont get it...some1 please enlighten me...

This confuses me.  catalogue on future releases I understand.  But Sweet Child?

[Nytunz]

I guess it just means that Axl have chooesed Sanctuary Record Groupe to release his upcoming matereal? ?Im not sure! But it looks like something intresting

[Andrew]

So Sanctuary will now manage the band and release the material? Does this mean Axl isn't contracted to Geffen/Universal anymore? Also they say Axl Rose as aposed to a publishing deal for Guns N Roses, so many questions...

[pilferk]

It means Sanctuary publishing will now be publishing the song books (ie: the physical printouts of the music and/or tabs) going forward. ?When they say "future releases", they mean Warner will no longer be publishing THEIR versions of the songbooks (for AFD, UYI I and II, Lies etc...or at least any music Axl wrote for those albums) and Sanctuary publishing will now be releasing THEIR versions of the songbooks. ?Now, whether those song books can contain material written by anyone OTHER than Axl (like, the rest of his former band mates) is an interesting question. ?They're NOT talking about "publishing" CD's.

Edit: I think it may also mean that Sanctuary Publishing would handle administering the "rights" to material, but I'm not sure about that.

Again, this deal has NOTHING to do with publishing CD's, albums, etc, etc.

[Nytunz]

Well, then i guess Guns N Roses should pop up on the band list on www.sanctuaryrecords.com pretty soon? ?

all catalogue= both old and new material?
futures= future releases?

thanks 4 the link steve-o, any possible, realistic reason 4 this now? this may be good news 4 us ?

edit: song books? they publishing sognbooks?

I think this could be the best news we've heard in a long time towards getting momentum
on a release for the CD. The fact that Axl has agreed to this could be one of the big legal
obstacles that has been faced in the release of this new CD.
This publishing deal sounds like it's for the GnR back catalog, as well as any future recordings.
Even though bands, ie..GnR have record deals, it's the chief songwriter(s) who sign various publishing deals (often for big bucks if you're a well known commodity).
So, I assume that Sanctuary just wrote out a big check to Axl, but will get a big chunk
of the publishing royalties for the old Gnr material, future GnR material, and anything
that Axl might release as a solo artist, or if another group covers GnR music.
If anyone in the music business can confirm or clarify this more, that would be helpful!

This is weird and promising. Promising in the way that things are coming. They chose to publish their new music throughout Sanctuary, and they will only sign GNR when there is money to be made. So CD is definitly on its way.

What I find weird is that Axl signed also for the old material, meaning that he's the one who's holding the sole rights for them. And as far as I knew I thought they shared the rights (Axl, Slash, Izzy, Duff etc.). So now I'm confused on what the hell is going on.

[Nytunz]

Hum... But, if Axl wasnt going to release any new stuff, would it make any sence from him to sign that deal?

Im not into this kind of stuff. But i will guess this has something to do with future stuff??

Damn, its the first official news we got in a long time! we deserve a ?

No, it wouldn't make any sense if he wasn't going to release anything. So things are coming definitely and Sanctuary trusts the material enough to pay a shitload of cash for the publishing rights.

edit: song books? they publishing sognbooks?

Yup, songbooks... ?Do a quick google on Warner Chappell. ?That's mainly what they do. ?What I'm unsure of is whether it means they also administer the rights to the material (ie: If you want SCOM in your movie or TV show, they're the guys you have to contact) in addition to handling distribution of THOSE "use" royalties. ?I THINK that administration piece goes hand in hand with the publishing (ie: songboooks) rights.
