Look if I was them I'm not sure I would charge fans for meet and greet I would rather do it for nothing as a nice gesture.

But I don't blame artists these days for looking at other avenues to make a buck because you aren't gonna get rich from album sales anymore.

Yes it's a complete about face on the issue. But it's funny as I was looking thru those Axl chats again looking for that quote, I noticed Axl making judgements on things or opinions of  Slash from 20 years ago. Saying Sash hated Sweet chid or AFD, or he thought this and said that during the post UYI sessions or whatever.  Axl has done a 180 degree turn on this issue in 3 years, can't others change their mind or point of view. Hopefully he allows them that grace to change position too over time and not hang them for shit from years ago. If he can that bodes well for a civil RNRHOF.

Agree, that's why when people say $lash or xyz band is a sellout I think it's crap. Unfortunately in todays music environment you need to be innovative and look at other means to make a dollar compared to the traditional ways.

Maybe Axl is just beginning to figure that out.

Maybe you will get Fernando or Jarmo. He can then tell you that you shouldn't expect anything, and that the band doesn't owe you anything for the ticket you bought and if you don't like it your not a real supporter, so you can go to another bands meet and greet from now on coz your banned.

Is that what Madson looks like? I always imagined she was older than that.

I got one through a collector who managed to score about 6 of them.  The other one I bought on ebay for a Buy It Now price of $9.99 US. 

I know I couldn't believe it when I saw it either!!
