#1611 Re: Guns N' Roses » Not likely to see Appetite on Guitar Hero or Rock Band » 826 weeks ago
Nahh I meant all the footage that was taken during the UYI tour, I thought just about every show was filmed. Agree 88 Ritz is one show that I would love to have on a quality DVD, I've obviously got boots of it on DVD.
But none of those type of things will probably come out until (if ever) Axl is done doing whatever it is he's trying to do.
BTW I have the making of's now on fan made DVD's.

Very true! And thank God!!!! Him and his wife would go all Sharon Osbourne and Gene Simmons on the GNR vault of goodies...
Yeah from this perspective if Axl does hold the rights it's a good thing, I cringe at the thought of what Slash or more to the point Perla (after all she is the puppet master) would want to do with this stuff.
That said there are legitimate things that could be done that won't simply because of Axl's animosity for Slash. As a long time fan that REALLY pisses me off. I wouldn't mind RB or GH, but even of more interest is UYI DVD's, B-sides, studio out takes etc.
But that stuff simply won't happen, firstly because it seems Axl really doesn't want the old guys making any more $$'s off of Guns, plus it takes the focus off NuGNR and what they are trying to do (or allegedly trying to do).
So I can understand that but it still really annoys me. Without the fans of the original band buying records and merch, attending concerts etc they never would have had the success they did. Plus Axl wouldn't be able to do what he does now without that legacy to leverage off. Yet we as fans continue to get fucked in the ass simply because of their stupid lovers tiff. I wish to fuck they would all grow up!

I liked his response to David Geffen when he was asked "when am I going to get my record" - "when it's fucken ready"!

Alan Niven was born a kiwi and lived in Wellington until the age of four when his family moved to the UK and Alan embarked on a rock n roll voyage that saw him get to the very top of the music business mountain managing Guns N Roses. He came out the other side still maintaining his sense of self. . . just! For the Radio New Zealand National music profile series Musical Chairs Trevor Reekie secures a rare interview with Alan Niven who talks about a career that started at Virgin UK before relocating to Los Angeles where he worked with Motley Crue, Berlin, Dokken, Great White and Guns N Roses. 3 July 2010.

The interview is about 30 minutes long and there is quite a bit of GNR related questions. There is a link to the audio/mp3 on the website.

#1616 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » Slash To Get a Hollywood Walk of Fame Star » 829 weeks ago
Having never been to the US, do many other musicians have a Hollywood Star - and I don't mean on the Rock Walk where I have read Slash already has one, but I mean on the Walk of Fame on Hollywood Boulevard.
#1617 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » Slash To Get a Hollywood Walk of Fame Star » 829 weeks ago
Cool for him I suppose. But I gotta say it feels somewhat somewhat TMZish. I'm not surprised his wife nominated him she seems to love this shit and I'm sure she will try and take as much of the moment for herself too.
All the celebrity/papparazzi world she seems to thrive in kinda tarnishes Slash a bit for me. I still love him but I just wish he wouldn't get involved in a lot of TMZ style shit!
I suppose I just hope he gets to enjoy the moment himself without having it highjacked as a promo opportunity for his Mrs.

After being nominated by his wife, Perla Hudson, and dear friend, Clifton Collins, it is with great pleasure to let you know that the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce announced today that Slash will be a recipient of a Hollywood Walk of Fame Star in 2011. The date of the ceremony has not been scheduled yet, but once it is we will let you know and we hope that you would be able to join us in celebrating this honor with Slash.

#1620 Re: Guns N' Roses » GNR's most ridiculous and WTF moments » 830 weeks ago
What about towards the end of the UYI tour when they included the accoustic part of the show. That was cool, but WTF getting Dizzy or whoever the fuck it was dress up as a pizza guy and deliver pizzas on stage:
