#3111 Re: Guns N' Roses » Doug Goldstein Letter to Axl » 693 weeks ago
Way I interpreted it was that he wanted security against stuff like death and disintegration.
His intention is not all that clear though. Why did he wait until 95? It doesn't seem to have been any major event either being that nobody really talked about it back in the mid 90s.
It's possible he didn't do it until he saw things weren't working at all, or he wanted to jack the band all along. Contract or no contract though, it was really just a case of the band falling apart. His actions are more a response to that than a reason.

CD is better than nothing. At least we got TWAT from it.
On second thought, perhaps an Axl Rose forced to go solo would have given us more material.

^ If that was the intent his lawyers should be fired....could have easily made it a term of the partnership agreement that in the event of Duff's body exploding or Slash injecting too much THEN he gets all rights....not before hand....and besides given he relied on the clause to quit the band when Duff and Slash were very much alive - it's hard to think the motivation was insurance against a death.
Isn't that what it was though? If the band broke up (meaning one of the 3 are not there anymore) Axl would retain rights. Don't know if a clause involving only Slash or Duff would be any better, what if something happens to Axl? Or what if they don't die but just quits instead and tells the rest they can't keep going?
I think one thing is for sure, without that clause there would definitely not be a GN'R today (not with Axl anyways).

For anyone to have as crazy fans as this can only be a good thing. Shows someone cares. I'd wear this rant on my sleeve.

What the fuck is in the water these days?
Aluminum waste.

Isn't GN'R kind of the first world beating rock act from the USA? Me and a friend talked about it and discovered all our favorite bands before GN'R were British (or commonwealth). They certainly don't get much respect for that at home though, which is funny.
There's been a lot of good stuff since then though. Hmm...Maybe they've been more influential than we yet realize.

Why did he get the boot again?
Supposedly for booking a tour without telling Axl. Though he was involved until after the 02 tour.

When did Doug get the sack? The 2001 tour fiasco?
#3119 Re: Guns N' Roses » Guns N' Roses Vs. The Beatles » 694 weeks ago
I hear a lot of Slash in Cantrell and Thayil. The guy has definitely been influential. Axl probably would too if anyone could sing like him.
