I'm not sure I follow the Slash/David Geffen link? Anyone care to explain?
I remember Niven saying in an interview somewhere that they went to the UK because they knew the British tabloid newspapers would stir up controversy. They'd feed them stories (eg Axl killed his dog) which made them "the most dangerous band in the world" and used that free press in national papers to sell out tickets on the UK tour. They then went back to the USA as an international act that had sold out gigs overseas, making them more in demand back in the US. Something like that anyway, can't remember exactly.
I'd suspect Niven being the manager was the guy who knew that controversy sells and he used it to the bands advantage. And they've been using the same tactic ever since
Both of Slash's parents worked in Music Biz.
He was surrounded by Rock Stars at an early age.
His Mom dated David Bowie,
and David Geffen was a friend of the family that Slash knew since childhood.
It was always easy to consider the reasons that GNR were given such a favorable record deal and treated much different from their peers also on major record labels

Found this on Bad Apples Forum.
I see a lot of conspiracies as unconfirmed truth ,
So I found it interesting.
I have also always suspected
the David Geffen connect from the beginning
Other aspects of the theory or story here ,
were
mentioned by a not so close friend
while drinking in a bar many years ago.
I don't know what the truth is,
but I do know GNR led a "Charmed Life"
as a Recording Artist.
ex. Appetite For Destruction came out same month
as Faster Pussycat first album,
It may sound crazy now, but in the begining
the comparisons and talk of who was better were many
In the summer of 1987
By 1988 GNR were Light Years ahead,
and no coincidence considering Faster Pussycat didn't get even one single even promoted as much as It's So Easy , while that was just getting the feet wer for the money that would be spent promoting AFD into a Legendary Status
If not appropriate please delete it

If this is really delayed
I'm asking for a refund.
And it's the last time I buy anything from this band,
or pay them any attention whatsoever
The only thing I buy from them is new music.
If they are not gonna release what they put up for sale,
then fuck 'em.
Bunch of overated cunts.
35 years professionally playin music,
but can't figure how to release a 7" Single after people already paid them.
Shitty world ,
shitty band,
and shitty 20 year recordings that weren't good enough to release in the first place ?

You want to know what's even funnier than that?
The idea of releasing Silkworms as your big single during the reunion.
I was at Fenway that night expecting Hard School.
Even funnier than them pulling out Silkworms and the crowd of mostly normies actually seemed to enjoy it....
Slash wore a KFC Logo Tshirt that had the letters changed to FCK, that seemed to point out the actual Absurdity of the situation.

What about Josh Freese?
He wrote the drum parts that Brian played on Chin Dem
Wouldn't that make him the actual "Brain" lol
#16 Re: Guns N' Roses » The General confirmed next » 102 weeks ago
The General better be f'n amazing
Either way , I can't lose hope,
because I already did that a long time ago.
I was actually free of this never ending train of shit,
but like a dumb ass I let the sudden release of Perhaps pull me back in.
And I already despise the new recording and especially the lame ass video.
Anybody hear this on actual Radio?
Are these Re-re-recordings even good enough quality for radio?
How many times can you reheat the same Chinese food and have it still be edible?
Whatever the answer is,
I believe Axl is well past that number with these Chinese Democracy recordings.
Actually, I hope "The General" is trash,
So it ends this madness
#17 Re: Guns N' Roses » The General confirmed next » 105 weeks ago

#18 Re: Guns N' Roses » The General confirmed next » 106 weeks ago

#19 Re: Guns N' Roses » The General confirmed next » 108 weeks ago
