I thought that was Jon Bon Jovi.

Not really:

More importantly, SKID ROW entered into a publishing deal with Jon Bon Jovi's newly established Underground Music Company, set up in 1987 to handle Jon's royalties on his collaborations writing songs with other artists. The contract entered into with SKID ROW ensured that the band waive their rights to publishing royalties which would be paid to Jon and Richie, although the BON JOVI duo were never officially credited on SKID ROW's debut album for such a substantial involvement.

In spite of the band's worldwide profile all was not well beneath the surface. SKID ROW had a major falling out with Jon Bon Jovi over the publishing deal that Bach was keen to make public giving the media the full scam that Bon Jovi's early assistance had a high price to pay in the form an alleged 100% payback on all publishing royalties. SKID ROW deemed it to be unfair and after much ugly publicity Bon Jovi relented with BON JOVI guitarist RICHIE SAMBORA actually making it plain he was giving his 50% share back to SKID ROW.

He was their manager at the time, but the band could only get a deal if it was apparent that Bon Jovi was assisting them in certain aspects of their music.  So they needed the deal with Underground Music to get a label deal.  From the reports I've read, Doc made it VERY clear to the band what they were signing...but they were sort of stuck.

[Halo69]

DAMN!!!! i didn't realize this guy was the same Doc as the guy in Supergroup that used to manage Skid Row.

If thats the case than im truly disappointed to be honest!    I can't believe it! I always had a bad feeling about this guy. I didnt realize it was him

Please bring back Azoff! He made  Chinese Democracy possible!

Well if you check Motley Crues bio. or Nikkis own Bio.

Id say a quarter of the content is hate aimed at Doc.

[D]

nah, motley got mad at Doc cause he loved Bon Jovi more than them and sort of lied to them at the Moscow peace festival... I think Doc is a great manager and is a master at managing egos

His big thing is really over touring the bands he works with and not giving them much of a break.

every band he manages though becomes the biggest band in the world.

[mrlee]

That was one issue. They had way more issues then that. Especially when it came down to money.

As for Doc, i think his time passed back in the late 80s.

This is from the new issue of Classic Rock, from an article with readers' questions for KISS:

Is Doc McGhee still you manager, as I heard he was managing Guns N' Roses?

Paul Stanley: That's been very funny. A few weeks ago I said to Doc: "It would've been nice if you'd told us." Doc replied: "I had nothing to to do with it." Axl has decided, from what I understand, that Doc is his manager. That's a one-way agreement. because Doc is not managing Guns N' Roses. One day he certainly might but he's not right now. And he definitely is still our manager.

WTF? Stanley is talking like if Doc is a friggin' gold mine....

[jacdaniel]

someone's got some explaining to do lol... 

Would be nice if Doc clarified..

Apparently Guns are not listed on his myspace or website.

Surely there's got to be more to it than Axl 'deciding' that Doc is GNR's manager?? Then again, maybe not....

[One.In.A.Million]

I'm sure there is just a misunderstanding somewhere along the line that will be clarified soon. But in any case, I don't like Pauls attitude, it's obvious he's still angry about Axl not letting him produce Appetite. Axl wouldn't have named Doc McGhee unless there was some mutual understanding.

gene probably made him choose

[chriskon72]

I couldn't believe this when I heard it! I've heard/read and seen lots of things on Doc. None of it very positive. 

   Bon Jovi is a very well oiled machine, they know how to make money and to me they are in it to make a lot of money, if you have ever seen Bon Jovi all acess about their New Jersey Tour. Doc is just a slimy guy always contradicting himself, saying what his client wants to hear while doing what is best for himself for the most part. I am not a big BJ fan but I do consider JBJ a level headed kind of person and very focused. JBJ fired him right after getting the Michael Jackson Lifetime acheivement award at the MTV awards, at the time he was so pissed you can see JBJ give some girl his statue as they are walking off the stage. He didn't give a rat's ass about the award.

  I am sure he gets along great with Gene and Paul, especially Gene because to Gene the greener the better as we all know he would sell his grandmother's ass if he could.

 Doc probably lost his hair while managing Motley and most likely knows Axl from the GGG Tour.

   According to Motley's Dirt he had some drug charges in which he had to organize something big to get out of some heavy jail time so he organized the Moscow Peace Festival in 89 (20 years after Woodstock) with BJ, Ozzy, Scorps, Motley, Cinderella, Gorky Park, and Skid Row...all his clients except for Ozzy. He got BJ, Ozzy, Motley and the Scorps on the bill by basically telling each group they were headlining...Motley fired him backstage a month before Dr. Feelgood came out. After he say's in Motley's book "I was sick of hearing the bitches, bitch. No one was in it for the cause" (the cause was basically keeping his ass out of jail) the concert which officially was a concert against drug and Alcohol abuse...lol!

  Ozzy got cases of Vodka as presents for playing the concert to raise awareness on Drug and Alcohol abuse. When he came home he almost killed Sharon in a drunken stupor in which he consumed a good portion of his gifts which he received !!!! No one can make this shit up

Take it for what it is worth....

[big_machine]

AXL is a monster in music biz !

he knows what he do !


and irvin azcof , sucks !!!! 

BAD PROMO OF THE ALBUM !!

[chriskon72]

We don't know what happened...I don't think it is fair to blame Irving Azoff.
