Axl announces new management for Guns N' Roses

[Howard2k]

enough of the bitches talk

now back on topic bastards,


when do you think we will hear some official news as to the new managements future plans and dealings ?

are we talking about days , weeks or months...?

I wouldn't like to guess.  These news guys could come in and want to totally change things up.   That could mean another few years.  Or maybe they're just here to add some finishing touches and we'll see news in the next month or two.   I wouldn't like to guess.

If Axl can't cut a deal with Mr Iovine, him and the new management team need to shop the Chinese recording sessions and potential Gnr tours to Live Nation. Work a deal where Live Nation settles the account with Uni, then cuts a new deal with the new Gnr. On top of that, Axl could try to put together a reunion deal as a part of another contract with Live Nation. The reunion deal would possibly help solidify a better contract for the new band...as a way to entice Live Nation to pay for the albums-recording of them, promotion, etc. Sounds insane but Axl could have his cake and eat it too if he really wanted too. Ahhh, I 'm just dreaming but he COULD do both if he really wanted.

Wonder what Mysteron has to say about all this new activity thats been happening. You would think that negotiations are over by now.

Why would you think that?  I think that now that there's a real management team in place, the real negotiations may just be getting started.  But hopefully they can be completed now in a reasonable amount of time.

I sure would hope that the new guys realize that Axl's not getting any younger . . .  Another few years would be devestating!!!

Regarding a reunion tour - I really really really can't see that happening in the foreseeable future. There is no way that Axl would tour, yet again, with the original line up until the new line up is finished. If the reunion thing does happen, I see it being years in the future after maybe 2 or 3 albums with the new line up when that finally ends. Then we'll see a reunion thing similar to the way Led Zep did recently where they'll only play a few shows and tickets will cost hundreds.

I know this is off topic slightly but just replying to the quote above.

[jarmo]

Who asked you?

Still upset about Richie Sambora?

It's okay, little buddy.


and, Shut up Christos.

Shut up biatch. 

Shut up X-tos. Shouldn't you be busy with planning your trips to see NKOTB?

 



/jarmo

So you guys DO have the same taste in music?   

No, I liked them when they were living on the streets, before they sold out.

 

Maybe you and X-tos can hold hands at the NKOTB shows.

If the record company wants to sell the rights to somebody else....





/jarmo


PS Shut up X-tos.

[madagas]

Jarmo, correct, IF the record company wanted to do that. Also, obviously any reunion stuff would be after the new Gnr thing is over. For all we know, that could be tomorrow or that could be 10 years from now. The reunion thing is always a bargaining chip that Axl has in his pocket.

I don't get the whole X-tos thing... I suppose, I have to be from elsewhere, where they do gay stuff and name gay people with gay names.  But, I am well aware that you 'Jarmo' is on my side - but seriously, how can one hang out with Adz?  That's all I have to say, I saw his myspace and is like, whoa.

What does a manager do?  Don't they manage for things to happen?  Imagine what a great manager does... even better, imagine what TWO great managers can do...

As for NKOTB, seriously hands down the best insult ever.

Can't see Axl ever doing that gig man. It wouldn't be unreasonable to assume that Axl was really p1$$3d off with the rest of the band, their habits and I would imagine, the demons Axl has laid to rest involve the first incarnation, can't see him returning there again.  If anything that I've learned about the new guys, is that they are professional, clean and dependable, a place Axl feels at ease in. To some degree, these guys have given Axl the creditability that he's been after, touring, great shows and step into the 21st century, a big departure from 1990's.

At best I could see the odd old member playing a number or two at a show or two, but nothing long term or all together, but hayhoo, this is Gn'R land where anything is possible...

[GNR4L]

Screw the old band they couldn't get their shit straight back then and sure can't now.  Axl's smart he isn't gonna touch them with a 10 ft pole.  Back to the subject I think this management team is getting the CD out in 08.

I'm trying to not overreacting, but that quote made me happy.

[jarmo]

Do you know where they invented that stuff?

GREECE!

It's true, I saw it in a movie:

Sidewinder Boss: Hey. Hey. How many times do I have to tell you? No shirt, no service. Get the hell out of my store. What do you think this is, Club Med?
Doug: It's called America, dude. Learn the rules.
Sidewinder Boss: "Learn the rules?" No, YOU learn the rules. We Greeks invented democracy.
Doug: You also invented homos.
Sidewinder Boss: Fuck you.
Doug: You wish. You gotta buy me dinner first.


Classic! 

But, I am well aware that you 'Jarmo' is on my side - but seriously, how can one hang out with Adz?  That's all I have to say, I saw his myspace and is like, whoa.

He's tall. It's the perfect decoy when you don't want attention.....

Good point.

Tsk, tsk, you youngsters!  Axl's still got a good few years left in him yet... 

[willow]

I Love sitting back and watching everyone else talk trash. That way I can just laugh and stay out of trouble. lol
amyl

yeah Just think what two good managers can do. I am so looking forward to this!!!

I sure wish I was a youngster!  I've no doubt Axl's got a few good years left in him, but I'm talking big picture - beyond CD.  If this album was his last hoorah, that'd be one thing.  But he's got a lot left to do - so let's get the show on the road (so to speak)!!!

I'm with you on that one.   

And if we're talking beyond CD, it would be the icing on the cake, but well, I'm not daring to hope at this stage...

After the (first?) album comes out, who knows how long its going to go from there.

We can only hope that all the speculation about 3 or 4 successive albums coming out thereafter is true and hopefully by that time there will be no further delays or issues coming up once everything is settled before "Chinese Democracy" comes out.

Axl is getting older yes but I think he will have at least one or two more world tours in him.
