Huh? What else did you expect? It's summer. They always do stadiums and fields in the summer. Line up is very certain: We are thrilled to finally announce the ‘POWER UP’ European Tour. Angus, Brian, Stevie, and Matt will be joined by Chris Chaney to carry the torch for Cliff. The tour will see us play shows across Germany, Italy, Spain, The Netherlands, Austria, Switzerland, England, Slovakia, Belgium, France & Ireland this Summer. We can't wait to see you all out there. Tickets on sale Feb 16. Ticket prices most likely will be expensive, but still way cheaper than what most other high profile acts charge.

And when she was introduced at the auction of one of her pics at Steven Tyler's Grammy fundraiser party, no mention that she had her breakthrough photographing Guns N Roses (or shot them at all). https://www.instagram.com/stories/katbenzova_rockphoto/3296333722541716702?utm_source=ig_story_item_share&igsh=MXZtdGttZXJ4eWhjbg==

But he wrote the lyrics in 2002 (?).

He's a booking agent for events outside the USA. If you want to organize a concert and want GNR to play, you go through him. That's the extent of his importance. And then most likely it goes through Team Brazil as the direct artist representation (so Axl doesn't have to communicate himself) to confirm whether they want to do the event and whatever else they need from it. Though, logic dictates that word comes from Team Brazil first, that Axl/GNR is looking to embark on a tour and then the enquiries go through the booking agents.

Aww, the butthurt loser still on a personal vendetta. Now that is laughable. They do sound good enough for most people attending shows.

Laughable is that there are some strange people complaining about them playing long shows. That's totally absurd.

Well, ownership would be consequential to GNR if they have to ask Kat for permission to do anything with the photos, outside the website or if she has the right to veto whatever they want to do with it. Or if Kat wants to do something with their images, without having to ask them. Whether they want to use it for a pornography video or political propaganda (really??) should be inconsequential to the photographer, as the persons in the picture gets associated supporting that. Not the photgrapher.

Nope, I don't. Never claimed I have. But how is that relevant?? Anyone paying someone to be there for “364 shows or 30 ‘legs’” and have them make photos on their dime and time and then ending up not owning the photos and the photographer having sole ownership, is a fucking idiot. Period. It would be a different story if the photographer would do that on their own dime (paying for travelling and accomodation and time spent to be there to make the photos themselves), then they should keep ownership and charge (and keep control of) for every photo the client wants to use (just like maybe in Jarmo's case, who wasn't hired as a photographer and only does it as a hobby, though I guess, he never has been given express permission to take photos either and also is doing it on GNR's dime, as in during the different job they pay him for, so I guess that's a grey area there). Either it's one or the other, but both (getting everything paid AND keeping ownership of the photos), is just wrong. What is in it for the band? They might as well buy photos from local photographers or fans. And I don't give a flying fuck what a law, which may be different in any given country, says.

There was a contract in the beginning that states that GNR is the owner. Why would anyone assume they would suddenly give her ownership? Her continued work is just a continuation of what was originally agreed in written form. Of course it is dumb on GNR's part to not have a contract. I guess that's where Fernando's "but you're family" comes into play. In fact, they are not family. And really, not giving her credit (as in mentioning who took the pic is one thing), claiming there is unauthorized use, when they paid her to do the photos and gave her unprecedented access to do so, is another. But we do seem to agree that the harassment issue was thrown in there to have more leverage against them to make them settle.

Once again, THEY PAID HER TO MAKE PHOTOS FOR THEM. They took her out on “364 shows or 30 ‘legs’” for what? For her to walk away, claiming and demanding sole ownership of the photos and for them to have nothing?? Get real. I agree with the bolded. Also she didn't wait to sue. She apparantly tried to sue already at the beginning of the year and somehow that got botched up.

Still, even more so if you let a bunch of jurors, who still could get it wrong, decide for you. At least you should follow the the trial, if there is one and make up your own mind.

Yeah. And those daughters are still separate from all other women.

Oh, it's a common occurence for him then? If he doesn't have a recollection, then it isn't a denial. It could have happened then.

Deleting music because of something that supposedly happened 34 years ago and you found out now about it?? How ridiculous.

Yeah. I have, as I noticed to tend to forget concerts and dates, especially for events where you don't get to keep your tickets or only get a wristband. So while I had my written list for many years, some years ago I put all my attended concerts on Setlist.fm: https://www.setlist.fm/concerts/PatrickS77 I like that you also get some statistics there. It tells me that I saw 1435 concerts by 598 different artists.

Having no recollection isn't a denial though that it never happened. A complete denial would be to say that he has never met this woman. No recollection bullshit. Having no recollection is an out for him, should it get proven (Rachtman or any of the other people) that he in fact met or spoke to the person. He can't even deny to ever have taken a photo with her.

Yeah. Whatever. https://imgur.com/gallery/ajAsG7o

Ah, then you'd better phrase that differently, as the poster above you seems to blame the brazilians.

I love that here, people are sure it is a cash grab, wheras with Fernando you're the devil if you think that.

Is it though? How is that the brazils fault??

Like I said, playing dumb doesn't suit you... then again, maybe it does.

Yeah. And at a damn F1 race of all places... one of the dullest things around.

Don't play dumb now. I'm obviously not talking about Kat.

Obsession?? Who's obsessed? You're the one beating the dead horse since years. So stop projecting.
