If he did a standard mortgage deal it should be paid around now (assuming 20 years).
The way the system works it actually pays to mortgage instead of buying outright.

Anyway...that Axl signed a massive publishing deal does not mean that he sold away all his rights necessarily - it's much more likely he's on a percentage deal.
Seems plausible. The complete publishing rights to the GNR catalog should be worth a lot more than the 20 million or so he received.
#3343 Re: Guns N' Roses » "Better" Video Discussion » 713 weeks ago
They have reached the last stage of truth. The coolness has become self evident.
The video was alright. More in the spirit of the 80s videos than the bloated UYI stuff.
#3344 Re: Guns N' Roses » Axl's net worth....Article Sept 2012 » 713 weeks ago
This could be an explanation:
The rest of the original bands earnings come up to about 100 million. Axl got close to 50% of the royalties on AFD and UYI. I don't know how much they got paid by the record company, but with a buck a record that's a 100 million on sales alone (netting him at least 50) Then you have radio play and commercials. If Slash isn't being completely literal with how they squandered the cash from the UYI tour that's probably a fair chunk too.
If he made at least 50 million + in the old days there should definitely be a considerable amount left. 150 seems high though. Is it standard for bands of that magnitude to get advisers to invest their money in hedge fund type stuff?

I predict this technology to only be used for good.

I'm not talking disappointing employment statistics critical. I'm talking war mongering, caught lying, overspending, torture and illegal detention critical.
With Bush you'd get the weekly hit piece. Obama is treated like the savior reborn comparatively.
#3347 Re: The Garden » Election 2012-Issue #1 labor unions/right to work states » 713 weeks ago
Romney needs to win, Obama doesn't have a clue of what the fuck he is doing.
I don't know. Jack and Bobby really put a dent on the whole notion of actually meaning what you say as a politician. Likely Romney too values his frontal lobe enough to continue racking up debt and war. He even got a father named George W.
Difference is he won't be wearing the minority kevlar. Pretty soon you might hear people starting to question the constant bombing campaigns of brown people using killer robots from Dick Cheneys company.
In four years I can't say I've ever seen a critical article on Obama in the msm. He could be filmed throwing puppies off a bridge and it simply wouldn't be written about. Instead you'd get a piece that the President is an animal lover and how his family dog was saved from a shelter. It really is a phenomenon, and for that reason I think he's the surest bet for re-selection in a long time.
But yeah, if only by the nature of the inherit restraints put on his effectiveness as a president, being an articulate and attractive white male, he should win. And you just know a seemingly restrained, devout Christian like that got at least a couple of Monicas stacked up, so if anything his term(s) could at least be entertaining.

I want Axl Rose to start collaborating with Axl Rose.
#3349 Re: The Garden » Election 2012-Issue #1 labor unions/right to work states » 713 weeks ago
Unions are a mess now, but let's not forget they are the father of the entire middle class.
Today? I don't know. The machine appears to have grown too large to stop, so I'm not sure there's even a reason to care. The system has taken over and it will take us where it will. I mean, compared to just 10 years ago, how many people give a shit whether Romney or Obama is President anymore? Political debates have been dying ever since the late Bush years.
#3350 Re: The Garden » Confederate flag may be removed from 'Dukes of Hazzard' General Lee to » 713 weeks ago
If you don't like it, don't buy it. Simple as that.
The Rebel flag is as much apart of American history as the American flag.
Isn't the current flag a relatively new invention too? Like not much more than a 100 years old?
Supposedly the current flag is the "war flag". Adopted after the civil war.
