gunsguy Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Axl just posted this on Twitlonger:Fuck!! The NY shows were insane!! Love the free form laid back vibe n' both were completely different from r view. The fans were AMAZING!! John (Varvatos) was really great! And to keep CBGB's rockin'?! Badass!! Goin' into Rose Bar was rough on some. Lotta best left memories from the old hotel. The gig helped w/some o' those. Felt really good on stage. (We actually "LIKE" playing together n' I absolutely agree some things should b a lot less complicated than others made them in the past that's why we're together n' other's by their own accord ain't here.) We all had a great time, it was a madhouse!! Thanks to everyone who came out n' those who helped put 'em 2gether. Good to have a short break n' gear up 4 South America. I LOVE NY!!On another note Guns is now managed by Doc McGhee n' we're off to a fun start. Big welcomes! It's nice to have the support!!original posting:http://www.mygnrforum.com/index.php?showtopic=157169&view=findpost&p=2599982 credit to user Rock_And_Roll_Overlink for full tweet:http://www.twitlonger.com/show/9jp8d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Bond Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 wasnt he the guy who managed motley crue in the 80s?Yes. Currently he manages KISS among others. He's a good guy and knows what he's doing, especially when it comes to touring. Solid choice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appetite4illusions Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Losing Azoff means losing Ticketmaster. Is this the proverbial kick in the balls? Or is it inconsequential? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndiannaRose Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 (edited) wasnt he the guy who managed motley crue in the 80s?He also managed Bon Jovi at around the same time. The guy's got a pretty long history with rock music... Edited February 17, 2010 by IndiannaRose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superfly Sister Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Good. Hopefully he can get Axl to put some new music out again, like Azoff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerage5 Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 I believe he also has a strong relationship with BazIf I remember right, he also managed Skid Row back in the day.Doc IMO is possibly the best rock manager ever besides Rod Smallwood.

-Anti- Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Wow, that's really cool. Would like to know what happened to Azoff though. Doc seems like an excellent manager; although in regards to Crue more of a babysitter at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunsguy Posted February 17, 2010 Author Share Posted February 17, 2010 I dont know Axl mentioned a few times on tour about touring without management, but never really elaborated, so kinda saw something happening there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashysdad Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 What do you think is meant by this;"Lotta best left memories from the old hotel."? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 What do you think is meant by this;"Lotta best left memories from the old hotel."?Probably the old "What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas", though worded differently. Don't think we're supposed to read too much into that. Maybe some memories from the old days of good times that he'd rather "leave at the hotel" so to speak.

Carne_asaDA Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Damn, 45 Drummers46464 GuitaristsNow.....26 managers. That's more turnover than a Walmart in Detroit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bacardimayne Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 ...and with Azoff gone, the reunionists can kiss their precious reunion goodbye. Not like it was ever going to happen anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naupis Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 what happened to azoff? He realized a reunion (and the monster payday that would have been associated with it) wasn't happening. Making big reunions happen has made him a rich man, and I suspect his interest in GNR fell precipitously when he realized it wasn't happening as there is no where near the money in managing new GNR as there would have been managing reunited GNR.

gnr-dave Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 (edited) So Axl had one of the best managers in the biz and the guy is runs ticketmaster and Axl cuts ties with him for this Doc guy.Doc is a yesman, and Az was not, that is why Az is gone.Hopefully he did not burn any bridges, so he can get gigs in the US.

Making big reunions happen has made him a rich man, and I suspect his interest in GNR fell precipitously when he realized it wasn't happening as there is no where near the money in managing new GNR as there would have been managing reunited GNR.No one has any idea what exactly led to the split. But, that may be a fair guess. Who knows? We never will until we hear a comment from either side and that hasn't happened yet.Ali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
