Mysteron Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Is it just me or does she sound slight frustrated that everybody is dwelling on Guns? ''Hello, I worked for Crue, Stryper, Poison, Pussycat, June Carter!!''The other bands deserve a lot of respect. It was a great era Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wkuk04 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I c/p this from Del James interview with Axl.D: There's been a lot of stories about who discovered you and so on. A name that's been popping up a lot is your ex-manager, Vicky Hamilton. What's her relationship with Guns N' Roses? Axl: Vicky Hamilton was a woman who basically had a monopoly on booking bands at the Roxy and the Whiskey, and we needed to get those gigs. We also needed a place to live. Vicky offered us help. She said she'd get us $25,000 we desperately needed for the proper equipment to start getting close to the sound we wanted. She never came through with the money; so with an important gig coming up, we got Geffen to go for a $35,000 memo deal, which means that we didn't have to sign with them but we had to pay the money back. Now Vicky's claiming that she managed us and that we wouldn't pay her back. She claims she invested $100,000 and she should be party to any of the money we make. She says we all get along, but in reality nobody likes dealing with her. Nobody trusts her. She managed the band? We - Slash, Duff, Izzy, Steven and Axl - managed the band. A year later she sued us for one million dollars. We didn't want to go to court, pay lawyer fees, court expenses and shit, especially when I don't trust the law and judicial system. I don't need the hassle. I don't believe in the fuckin' law system. I don't believe in the fuckin' government. I do believe that America is the best country on the face of the fuckin' earth, but that doesn't mean that America isn't run by assholes. Poor Vicky might look great in front of a judge, and Guns N'Roses look like slime, so they should lose. We settled out of court for $30,000, 15 of which Geffen paid. What do you guys make of this?

What do you guys make of this?I know little of Hamilton, always just another clingon in the band of my mind.Your response is well researched, so good for you. It puts a better perspective on the whole thread. Edited January 31, 2015 by Mysteron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alfierose Posted March 28, 2015 Author Share Posted March 28, 2015 Update to this interview. Vicky's crowd funder is now at 74% of the goal amount with just under a month to go. Looks like we could get this as at least an ebook by the end of the year.https://pubslush.com/project/5491 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
