asking the record company again.

[GUNNER]

pure waste of time...

[PolarBearWitchHead]

nothing wrong with calling a record company and asking questions about their artists, it's their job to sell you something, and you are a customer.  they should be grateful for interest by the fans in a product they make money from selling

i vote call them all you want, that's why when axl finally comes back, they can honestly say "back by popular demand"

[Bartlet]

I'm sorry, ive said this before, and everyone ignores me. But even if you're completely neutral on the issue, how can people not be AMAZED that Axl still has a band and (AFAIK) a record company?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Despite what some people were saying a while ago, it can NOT be coz they need the ?:

50 Cent
Audioslave
D12
G-Unit
The Hives
Enrique Iglesias
Jimmy Eat World
Elton John
Keane
Limp Bizkit
Marilyn Manson
Ms Dynamite
MIA
NIN
No Doubt
QOTSA
Will Smith
Gwen Stefani
Sugababes
Obie Trice
U2
Pharell Williams

Are many reasons of decently selling bands. These bands together are the reason why Interscope do not need money from GNR sales - theyre hardly in financial dire straights! So why no drop 'em?

Dont get me wrong, i want the album, i just dont get it.

A also refuse to believe that responsible adults (with families) are in this band only so they can tell their grand children about it, but at the moment, it looks that way.

Now, flame away!

They're kept on the label roster because besides what tons of "fans" (I'm not at all referring to you, btw) on these boards say, there is and will continue to be alot of money and interest in Guns N' Roses.

i have said it before, and ill say it again: do not dictate to me your definition of a fan.

[estranged.1098]

I don't know why you think it would do any good?

Maybe because he wants it so much and he's been waiting for so long he decided to take the very small chance of getting a good reply black. People play the lottery don't they?

As soon as anybody (band or record company) have any news for us, I'm sure they'll let us know.

I believe that's what the band said, not the record company.

I'm sure it's also annoying for those who have to keep answering the same questions.

I'm sure that soon enough they will no longer have to answer these questions. Until then, they can time a time off from ripping people off*.


* Sorry, as you can tell I'm not a big fan of record companies. 

[King Axl]

Useless. Been fan for last 20 years... Now it is sure. There will be no record. Nothing, never. This goes all to egoism of one induvidulal... 45 years old... Mygnr and this site should stop now... No more GNR...

Sadly, I tend to agree.

At least we have the old catalog of albums to enjoy.

I'll tell you the reason the label has not dropped them. Their debut album sold 30 million copies, the UYI albums sold 30 million collectively, at least. With that kind of return, the label expects a good amount of money to be brought in. Like you said, they're in the business of making money. After spending over 10 million dollars on it, they see nothing wrong with giving it some more funding. They've got plenty of money, and the label still expects to make a profit. If theres a profit, then they wont drop the band.

Exactly what I was thinking,why bother anyone by asking question that'll never get answered anyway? 

[Fortus]

the answer...is NO album this year..

I'll have to disagree with that. The label has, reportedly, stopped paying Guns N' Roses to make the album. So the reason they haven't dropped them is because they expect to either make some money from Guns or at lease not lose any anymore.

why'd you edit my response in your quote, and cut out my point?

[Verse Chorus Verse]

Because he couldn't argue it.

[DramaGod]

um i thought this was a forum to get some answers,not to get flamed by the people who run it,holy shit stop being so defensive.

So as far as we're concerned the album won't be coming out this year until further notice?

[SLCPUNK]

Correct.

Please turn off the light if you are the last to leave.

The guy didn't even disagree with you in the end as well! He just thought he did!  You said basically "They won't drop GNR as the record company can make money from them" and then he said "They haven't dropped GNR because they can make money out of them"

[elmir]

So the reason they haven't dropped them is because they expect to either make some money from Guns or at lease not lose any anymore.

don't forget that GNR discography as a whole is still making some serious dollars....dropping a profitable entity from your roster is plain stupid....the record company will be able to milk the gnr legacy for at least another 20 years without a problem.....

either way, i think its weird to keep them purely in the hope of makind decent money, or at least not losing any.

and gnr will sell nowhere near 3omil nowadays, no band does, those days are gone. I simply dont think gnr sales can be that important to them. the point about their back catalogue that someone made is a good one, but i guess time will tell. anyone turned out that light yet?

Making money is what it's all about.   If they're profitable now and there is the chance of them being MORE profitable in the future then that means $ now and $$ later.    That's what business is all about.

The record label is not a non-profit organization.   They WANT to make money.  Music is purely a vehicle for that, their number one objective is profit.

yeah i agree, but wouldnt the profit (based on reports of expenditure which i realise may be incorrect) they would need to make MASSIVE?

even if what they need to make would be massive its irrelevant because dropping them means no revenue from GNR, whereas CD will generate cash that will offset a fair amount of their losses, or create a profit

and remember GNR also released their greatest hits which will have decreased any loss so far

the record company would lose money by dropping guns n roses, its that simple
