#6631 Re: Guns N' Roses » Entertainment Weekly suggests GN'R may perform at VMA's » 931 weeks ago
blah blah blah....they aren't going back to the VMA'S (and who gives a real fuck if they do) until they (or he) has a product to sell. It was obvious in 2002 that they were close to a release so they did it. Axl/Redhead freaks out after Philly meltdown, all plans off.....2008, possible, but highly doubtful unless they have A. a new single that is ALREADY on radio for at least 2-3 weeks or B. a reunion performance.

no-each artist has their own individual style...but hopefully there is no more writing to be done.....

CC, just for clarification. I love Robin and his work on the new Gnr material. However, in a live setting, Bumble, Bucket or Richard could easily play his parts if Robin isn't around. It is not a put down.:peace:

The ones on ITUNES I heard clips of were Heartbreak Hotel and Anything Goes. Both sounded pretty good.:rock:
#6636 Re: Guns N' Roses » The Type of Deal I hope Axl is looking for in "negotiations".. » 931 weeks ago
I would think Axl and Azoff want to complete the Chinese Democracy releases and tour behind those. Then, do a reunion of the AFD era Gnr after CD has run it's course. He can have his cake and eat it too.....however, doing both does make things substantially more complicated. But, the money would be huge if he can pull it off. 
#6637 Re: Guns N' Roses » The Type of Deal I hope Axl is looking for in "negotiations".. » 931 weeks ago
You can negotiate a reunion tour in advance if you have Slash, Izzy, etc's blessing. This is where Axl's unpredictable nature may bite him in the ass as people will be skeptical of his long term reliability....and rightfully so.:haha: But, if he could buckle down and put together a 3 year UYI type touring run and release a few of the alleged albums he has. Plus, slip an AFD era reunion tour in there, he could make A LOT of money. Enough money to disappear for another decade!:laugh:
ps....and now seems the perfect time to do it....2008-2012...leads up to the rock and roll hall of fame and wham!....back to recluse mode.

the Nickelback deal with Live Nation seems to be where the industry is going. This article shows you the possibilities even when the artist still owes an album to his current record label.
there is a TON of potential with the Gnr brand and Axl Rose. Remember, he always has a HUGE negotiating piece with a potential reunion. 
TEXT OF ARTICLE
As expected, Live Nation has entered into a long-term global partnership with Nickelback, following closely on the heels of a multi-rights deal notched with Shakira.
A source confirms the deal is worth in the $50-$70 million range.
Payments are set to roll out over time as the band performs. Rather than a time frame, a Live Nation statement says the deal "contemplates" all areas of Nickelback's global music enterprises, including three touring and album cycles, with an option for a fourth.
A source says the band has two records left on its Roadrunner contract.
Under the deal, Live Nation has acquired 12 separate artist rights to feed its global distribution pipe. These include touring, tour sponsorship, tour merchandise, tour VIP/travel packages, secondary ticketing, recorded music, clothing, licensing and other retail merchandise, non-tour sponsorship and endorsements, DVD and broadcast rights, fan club, Web site and literary rights.
Nickelback, which previously toured arenas with AEG Live, is expected to play Live Nation amphitheaters, beginning next year. Similarly, the band's merchandising had been through Bravado, and will be handled by Live Nation's merchandising team in the future. Thus, merch and touring represent "found money" for Live Nation in the Nickelback business.
"Our relationship with everyone at Roadrunner Records has been amazing throughout our career and we look forward to continuing that same great relationship for the remainder of our recording commitment with them," said Nickelback's Chad Kroeger in a statement. "With that said, the Live Nation deal helps us maximize the band's opportunities in all areas of our career."
Nickelback becomes the fourth superstar act to join the Live Nation Artists roster, along with Madonna, Jay-Z and Shakira, with the previously announced U2 deal expected to be completed in the coming months.
The band is a touring powerhouse and has built its fan base by relentlessly breaking into new markets with its live shows. The Canadian rockers' last tour, which visited North America and Australia in 2006/2007, sold more than 1.5 million tickets and grossed in excess of $67 million.
Nickelback ranked 20th among all touring acts in 2007, according to Billboard Boxscore.

The Classic Rock guy made a good point that through all Axl's craziness, he still feels that Axl is a very sincere guy and he is very believable when he sings his songs of heartbreak. I agree and that is what ties me to all these tracks. He is still believable. He laughed and said it is "not a fun sounding record". All the leaks are clearly tied to a central theme of lost love and broken relationships.:(
#6640 Re: Guns N' Roses » Metal Hammer Podcast - Guns N Roses Special » 931 weeks ago
listening to this right now.... These guys are raving over it...the two guys running the show. They really have no idea what they have.....it is pretty funny. They are all confused between all the leaks. The Classic Rock guy says that he has no idea if this is the album because Zutaut told him he thinks it is a disc made for touring and practicing the songs.....that is why you have all the different mixes. The classic rock guy is pretty funny and they are now raving on Bucket/his solos and laughing at all the stories. Definitely impressed with Bucket.
