Axl announces new management for Guns N' Roses

[DeN]

They have been on many famous Late Night Shows (best promotion for any band), all Music stations from TV to Radio, many magazines, they did a live special on MySpace , etc etc etc... then Slash went on a long mediavvhore campaign about his book, Guitar Hero 3 and signature guitars which he still on, it was all over the place.

Yet the album was flushed down the toilet by fans... not because of lack of promotion but because of lack of quality 

And MeanBone, get over it 

lack of quality ? it was much better than the first one and selled less.
slash promoted himself, and in other countries than USA, velvet revolver is kind of an anonymous thing.

anyway, this is cool to see there's a real new management, and i hope the problems with the record company are solved.
time for the first single !

This is exciting news.  And lets just remember that whether its musicians, actors, or global corporations, we the public are told only what they want us to know.  We can take Axl's at face value that they had nothing to do with the Dr. Pepper promo but to emphatically deny that it is even possible that there is a tie in here is ignorant.  For example, Nikki Sixx has denied many rumors over time regarding Motley Crue that turned out to be true later on.

Anyway, looking forward to more exciting news this year!

[ppbebe]

axl is not nikki.
If there had been a tie beforehand, both dr pepper and  axl would have gone like 'we're  pleased to announce that...'

I just see the dr pepper thing was popped up when gnr was about to announce its new management team.

[gnrjanus]

Could this be the start of some promotion???


Frist dr.pepper gets in.  and I don't care if gnr and management didn't know about it
but let's look it at this.

dr. pepper does his thing but axl could take advantage of it by asking them for gnr promotional cans or whatso ever.

2) New management.
axl's silence is over 2 post in one week wow.

3) radio stations are playing Twat and CD again after they have been told not to in 2006-07

The whole last week news was all over the world even in holland

BUILD UP THAT HYPE IT"S THE BEST TIMING!

Managed and no.

so he doesnt manage them anymore?

[jarmo]

As far as I know, no.

I think that band changed managers a while ago.

[lakersaregreat]

/jarmo

ok, i didnt know that. but if he still manages them, you can understand some questions that may pop up.

[BMo13]

As far as I know, no.

/jarmo

No he doesn't manage VR anymore, but he still manages Scott Weiland.  Should be fun at the company christmas gathering...

[faldor]

I read earlier in this thread that this group still manages Scott Weiland, but not VR or any of its other members anymore.  So if you're insinuating that Axl may join forces with Scott because they have management ties, I don't think I see that happening.

[crazycheryl]

Awesome news!!! 

The dude is getting his ducks in a row. I still say something's going to happen this year but I won't speculate because you know where that gets you.

Bring it on Guns!

[Red1]

Great news.  I am a happy man!

[horsey]

As far as I know, no.

isn't beta axl's manger now ?

[Continental Drift]

If nothing else... it's nice to know that Axl will have some serious firepower on his side when it comes to Universal and getting the album out. My big fear was that Universal was basically just going to sit on CD for awhile and push Axl and Beta around as some kind of sick revenge grudge... seems a lot less likely now.

On the other hand... for all I know, getting high quality reliable representation (as opposed to Universal having to deal with Axl, Beta and all their eccentricities directly) may have been a pre-condition for Universal to agree to move forward with CD. Either way... great news.

[bazgnr]

Excellent news.  Hell, any news is good news, you know?  It's great to see progress, and to have GnR showing up all over the place (makes me thirsty for a Dr. Pepper, in fact).  

I find it interesting, however, to hear that GnR and Axl are *both* being managed by Azoff and Gould.  I understand it, but I've always thought of Axl and GnR as one entity, so it's weird to read them of them as separate, if that makes any sense.

Hopefully, more good things will continue to happen for Axl, the band, and the fans...

[BluesGNR]

To BAzgnr* axl needs individual representation for times such as when he appears on bachs album and other appearances.

[LunsJail]

As far as I know, no.
