the shows are the same length as they always are 2hrs 40mins.
the curfew legislation in the UK & ireland is so steep the band will come on at 8.00 there for arena shows & be on time in the UK festivals. the fines for overrunning curfew in south america seem to suit the band ok.

Smoking Guns wrote:Madagas, the other albums they could have released, where... Greatest Hits, and Live Era... Also in 1993, they released and album.. So really 94-96/97 are the monies you speak of, but Live Era and Greatest Hits more than made up for those... It was the 97-2004 that cost a shit load of money for which you speak, and an Axl solo album would have never been given that advance. So he had to keep the GNR name if for anything else, to keep money coming in to make the album...
You are slightly off...the record company doesn't care about Greatest Hits albums. They already have the rights to those because they own the masters and in their mind that was future money in the bank. Gnr/Axl owed them an album of ORIGINAL studio material. You pile up 3-4-5 million in studio debt over a 3 year period...they want their money back and are not going to get it with an Axl solo album.
Smokin, I don't think you quite understand the money issue and contractual complexities of the 92-98 era. Axl really was backed in to a corner when the old band dissolved. A lot of it was his fault, but it was not an easy situation to resolve.:(
so do you think if axl had a choice he maybe would have dissolved the GnR name and started out under a new name?
i don't think so, and i think Smoking Guns is maybe closer to the truth here. IMO it looks like Axl always wanted to keep his work under the GnR name because that's where the money was.
now i'm not saying it wasn't mutally benefincial for the record label to keep the GnR name alive, but i think by the sheer expense of CD that Axl was quite happy with how things turned out with his retaining the name - and, though i can't remember the particular source off the top of my head, there is one quote of axl's from way back before izzy left where he said something like "i've a lot of things i want to get out through Guns N Roses". it sounds even then that the very band name was the perfect vechicle for him to express himself and he didn't intend on getting a new b(r)and name ever..
#3677 Re: Guns N' Roses » Guns N' Roses Headline Reading/Leeds Festival (Rumor) » 807 weeks ago
i'd count ur chickens on it being GnR just like i said, for once it's the other acts i'd have doubts about! but efestivals is as legit & knowing a website that there is, they're usually completely otm with their rumours for reading & other major festivals.
#3678 Re: Guns N' Roses » Guns N' Roses Headline Reading/Leeds Festival (Rumor) » 807 weeks ago
i'd imagine fri/leeds, sun/reading.
#3679 Re: Guns N' Roses » Montevideo, Uruguay - March 18, 2010 (Estadio Centenario) » 808 weeks ago

#3680 Re: Guns N' Roses » GN'R Twitter Updates » 808 weeks ago
What's the big deal?
the inconvenient truth!
bono, U2 are perfect.. the sun rises & sets with bono's sunglass. it's unfair of you to keep comparing those gods to the flawed mortals they unfortunately have to share the earth with..
