CD w/ Label = Directly from Richard

[spaghetti_incident]

pretty fucked up that you posted this here. From what you say it sounds like you've had a few emails with richard, and he's telling you this like a personal conversation, not for you to post it all over message board.

Totally agree with your post dude.

[Montrealrocks]

thats what I said earlier

Wtf, why would Richard care if this is posted? It's not like he revealed that he's cheating on his wife or something.

I've been away all evening and just got back and checked this thread.

I must say, that I now feel bad about posting it, I agree, it was messed up to do. I never should have posted a personal email from  richard, but i must admit....i was excited too.....although i didnt realize how big this news may have been, as ive been busy lately.

what?? youre a fan, emailing a band member. obviously youre going to share the information with other fans... its not like youre his psychiatrist, and he told you how distraught he was over the fact that the label is holding up the release, then turned around and posted it online. you were a fan who asked a question. its normal that you would post it on a message board... 

[SLCPUNK]

It might be a little different if it wasn't something that had not already been said. And your intentions were true, you weren't trying trying to extract info out of him for the sole purpose of posting on a MB. So to me, it's not that big of a deal.

[cineater]

No big deal, it's not something we didn't know.  Merry Christmas! 

[Kangaroo Friend]

What does Jarboe have to say about all this?

[SLCPUNK]

What does Jarboe have to say about all this?

Is that like the past tense of Jarmo?

[D]

Yeah, if u guys were friends that would be fucked up

but its not like in the email he said "This is between u and me"

So its no big deal.

[grog mug]

So is it with the label or not?!?! MOST people are still saying its no where in sight.....

[fuckin crazy]

Yeah, I would think it is not a big deal ... it's not like no one has said this before.

in what circumstances did Ron said he never said what?

The comment he made to a fan/poster in Boston this summer ... allegedly.

[Jizzo]

his answer doesnt confirm anything. he could be saying that axl is holding it up, lol

[fuckin crazy]

To anyone who's first language is not english! HE CONFIRMED THAT IT HAS BEEN HANDED IN!!!

To those whose first language IS english, and doesn't get the meaning ...

U have to remember, Greatest Hits is straight profit.

As it took nothing to make it.

So that has easily moved 8 million worldwide. Thats about 40 million for the record label which easily pays back the 15 million for CD

To break even CD just has to sell 3 million copies.

There's those 4-5 other band members that get a cut who have nothing to do with CD...

The label's goal isn't to break even. It's probably to try and set records. Remember, the $20 million they've sunk so far doesn't include the insane amount of money they will have to spend on promotion. $20 million so far is a fair estimate if it was $13 million 3 years ago and everything's been re-done since then.

They need a plan. They're not holding it up out of spite.

that $13 million figure was never backed up and was most likely plucked out of someone's ass to shift whatever form of media they were selling, so now extrapolating to $20 million is a bit of a leap of faith don't ya think?
