you're right....because McCain isn't Republican.:haha: Honestly, I don't care who wins. I am a middle class American. We get fucked either way. 
James, I am usually not in to politics, but this is going to be a classic.:beer:
#7042 Re: Guns N' Roses » AXL ROSE Negotiating For More Money Before Releasing 'Chinese Democrac » 953 weeks ago
true...the label has already proven they can release any masters they want without the artists permission under the current recording agreement (referring to the GH lawsuit obviously).

Randall, Bill O'Reilly was saying that last night....he said if it comes down to the convention and Obama is slightly ahead in delegates but not holding enough, the "super delegates" or whatever could step in and put Hillary as the nominee. There is the potential for some real corrupt stuff....damaging stuff to the Democratic party if they can't get this sorted out.
#7044 Re: The Garden » Mitt's suspends campaign » 953 weeks ago
I am a Republican, but I didn't vote in the primaries. I will vote in the general election. I am not sold on any Republican candidate so I didn't bother. I want to see how the Democratic race settles, plus who will be the VP's before deciding on my general election vote. As Randall Flagg said though, Republicans will come out of the woodwork for the general election against a female or minority candidate......very sad, but still true in the US. I personally prefer Obama to Hillary. We need young, fresh blood. Any more Bush's and Clinton's is just too much.:peace:

exactly.:beer: 
and to take it further, when Mysteron said "the ball is in the label's court", that does NOT mean they necessarily have the album. That most likely means Axl made a business offer, and they are waiting on a counter offer from the label.
#7046 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » Slash: "(STP Reunion) won't impact Velvet Revolver" » 953 weeks ago
Well, Slash and Duff don't care because they have sold about 60 million more albums worldwide than STP and Velvet Revolver have combined. And, they also know that any Gnr reunion is huge money in the bank. I'd be laid back too.....:butt:

Personally, whether or not the label had the album was never my major concern. First things first, I wanted the Chinese Democracy sessions shut down. Sift through all the material, decide what you want to release, complete those tracks, mix, and master. Now, it does make sense that after all this time and money spent by both parties, if you have a lot of finished music, you don't just turn it all over to the label and say "do what you want"......any normal person would look to cut the best deal possible right now while maintaining some form of artistic control over how the music is released. So, good business sense will tell you Axl isn't going to relinquish the masters until his business issues are sorted out with the label.
Two different issues when you say "the record is done or recording is done" vs. "we gave the album to the label." Nobody in the band's camp has said we turned the album in to the label. They just said the recording is done and the album is done-"everybody knows that!" Even if the record company listens to the proposed album or albums and says "we agree with your tracklisting and ideas 100%", it doesn't mean they will agree to release the record/s on Axl's financial terms. Make sense?:ummm:
#7048 Re: Guns N' Roses » AXL ROSE Negotiating For More Money Before Releasing 'Chinese Democrac » 953 weeks ago
Pasnow, a common misconception is that Axl owes Geffen 13 million....that is not true at all. They invested that money at their own risk. The only way they can get their money back is to release the material and deduct the earnings from Axl's royalty account for these potential records. If the record company doesn't sell enough records out of all the material to cover the 13 million, they are shit out of luck. The only thing Axl really owes them are the tapes and masters if he has them. They belong to Geffen. However, even that is an issue now as Axl has paid for the recordings since 2004. What a fuckin mess.:haha:

"According to The Pulse of Radio, recent reports have indicated"
"blabbermouth.net"
that is all I needed to read, radio...blabbermouth....recent reports (meaning eddie trunk and other shit we already know)....nothing new here. No sources on those recent reports. Sounds like they just decided to make something up that sounded good. We have no clue what they are negotiating over or if Axl is asking for more money.:sick:
#7050 Re: Guns N' Roses » I Feel 2008 Is the Year » 953 weeks ago
She is not the band's manager.....more like Axl's personal assistant/secretary. Answering phone calls and doing the laundry doesn't exactly equate to negotiating record deals and tours.:haha:
