Its more than $13m, when you consider the cost of financing the capital and lost revenue
Do you really believe that Interscope/Geffen has forked out 13 million dollars for this album?

Does anyone really believe that?

Why not? Its well documented the high costs involved in this project

The Greatest Hits has NOT sold 3 million copies... you Americans are tiring about ignoring the rest of the world: The worldwide sales are around 7 million copies. Do you get it now? WORLD-WIDE sales, there's a world outside America

Well said. hihi

I think that Geffen has made more money with GNR than that annoying number of 13,000,000 $.
And when Chinese Democracy is released (look, I have written when not if no) Geffen will sell more than 7,000,000 copies, I am pretty sure about that

Actually the tour would have made ?2,800,000 or $5,223,393 assuming an average ticket price of ?40 (about average in the UK), and the fact that GN'R played to around 700,000 people.

Minus equipment cost, wages, roadie's pay etc, I'd say they only walked away with ?1,500,000.

You math is terrible man.  If GNR played to 700,000 people at an average of $50 a ticket, they sold $35,000,000 in tickets.

I don't think GN'R would have played for 700,000 people. Only the management made up this. They had like 35 shows, but most of the venues were arenas with a capacity of 12,000-15,000. On the other hand they played a lot of festivals, but when it comes to these huge shows, you can't really tell how many people saw GN'R. And the festival bands have to share the money.

So my point is: GN'R had a very sucessful European tour, played in front of like 500,000 people and made a lot of money but not a much as some people here think.
