I guess GN'R can tour the US again and Azoff did not "crush" Axl, contrary to some opinion.

Settlements Reached In Lawsuits Between Axl Rose And Former Manager
(CNS) Posted Tuesday June 14, 2011 – 3:05pm
Lawsuits between Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose and his former manager concerning commissions and concert touring have been resolved, attorneys for both sides told a judge today.
"They were settled to the mutual satisfaction of the parties," said attorney Howard King on behalf of the singer's ex-manager, Irving Azoff.
The resolutions were announced on the day Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Rita Miller had scheduled trial of the two cases between the rocker and Azoff.
No terms were divulged. But after a preliminary accord was reached, lawyers for Rose filed papers stating that the final accord would involve "a comprehensive touring agreement in which Guns 'N Roses would perform at various...venues."
Azoff sued the 49-year-old singer in March 2010, claiming Rose owed his ex-manager's company, Front Line Management, more than $1.8 million and broke a verbal agreement to pay the firm a 15 percent commission for performances by the band in Taipei, Seoul, Japan, Canada and South America.
Rose countersued two months later, claiming the manager tried to force him to reunite with his original Guns N' Roses bandmates and failed to properly promote the band's "Chinese Democracy" CD.
The suit also alleged Azoff lied about a prospective Van Halen "super tour" and mishandled the band's tour dates.

Re: Azoff-Axl Lawsuit Settled: Includes "comprehensive touring agreement"
well certainly your opinion .... without the backing of live nation / ticketmaster it would've been very difficult (if not impossible) to find a major venue to play...also without the backing of ticketmaster it would've been tough to sell concert tickets in what has become the accepted norm
it wouldbe been like Pearl Jam in the mid-late 90's all over again

Agreed 100%. Ticketmaster/Live Nation is for all intents and purposes, a monopoly. Without their support, it would have been worse than Pearl Jam in the 90's because Ticketmaster/Live Nation's strength has only increased.

That's very interesting...
Re: Azoff-Axl Lawsuit Settled: Includes "comprehensive touring agreement"
Does anybody really think that they couldn't have used TicketMaster/Live Nation if there was a demand for the product? Really? Come on guys, you're smarter than that.
Are you aware the Irving Azoff is the Executive Chairman of Live Nation Entertainment, of which Live Nation and Ticketmaster are subsidiaries?
