what fact do you base this comment on?

Attention seeking, mainly

Hearing some interesting info.

The discs contain 'I'm Sorry' which is almost identical to the album version.  I think a lot of us thought this song came later.

Also contains Shanklet's Revenge, (spelt ShaNkler), which is very different.

Thyme is a one and a half minute orchestral pieve, which is then used in the song PRL

"So for anyone who doesn’t know 

The situation that had a public auction that took place on a storage locker surrendered by failure to pay by the owner who had legally possession of the items

the then purchasing party has 100% legal ownership of the items in that locker.

Axl , Universal and team Brazil cannot seek any legal action for the tracks being spread out bye for now 100% legal owner of those items

To add to that public auctions have a strict contract and transference of property agreement with all persons or business rent a unit 

so unless a time before the auction a police report was made of stolen goods that was itemized and dated which there would already be a public record of and in occurrence the auctioneer would have been made aware before the public auction so yeah 

lol Team Brazil and Axl"

So, just read this at another forum, anyone schooled in those matters could clarify it? 

I wasnt aware that the locker was auctioned because Zutaut didnt pay the bill lol 

I don't believe this to be true.

I used this anaoligy somewhere else, but If I buy a house belonging to David Chase and we agree I can have the contents/furnature - and I find a DVD of his upcoming film 'The Many Saints of Newark' - it's not 'my film' to do as I please with

 What I don't quite understand: warchild / mojo was (is?) good friends with msl (and took over his forum), while msl caused a lot of gnr leaks. If warchild / mojo is so concerned about countering leaks, why was this hypocritical friend of msl?

Simply put, in his view, leaks/unreleased tracks are ok among his circle of friends, but not the wider fan-base.

Naw. Warchilds been doing this for years on a smaller scale. After the leaks last year, wfa lost his mind he couldnt view himself as "special" anymore and it got out of control

This is true.  The takedowns used to come from 'UziSuicidalLlc' which is his Twitter handle.

Here is a thread from 5 years ago

Back then, people mistakenly thought Warchild was a girl from Florida.

not sure if this is correct so please put me right if not.

Jarmo has no time for Mofo. he basically just doesn't like him.

Jarmo and Fernando are old friends. Fernandos mum Beta is an old friend(only pen pal type) with Mofo ? 

any time Jarmo bans Mofo, Mofo would send an email to Beta and in turn she would call her son and ask him to speak to Jarmo about letting Mofo back on the forum using some lame excuse like "he was drunk and made a mistake, it won't happen again".

with that type of set up Jarmo thinks there is just no point banning him if he takes orders from Fernando and the end result is Jarmo is in a situation he doesn't want to be in and Mofo can do as he pleases. 

Some of this is accurate.

Jarmo's hands are tied, and for what it's worth, he's doing a decent job over there -seemingly refusing to let Mojo's 'insider' status pass anymore.

Jarmo has years of experience moderating a forum with this guy on it (he was a regular on HTGTH)..

You've got to remember - this guy has been loyal and defended Axl for over 20 years now, and Beta loves that.

During the downtime, there was a very much a siege mentality of 'us vs them'.  Us being the Brazil family, them being media/press/public and 'demanding' fans.  He enlisted a few super fans and create an unflinching team of support for Axl, with the view to shut down lies and rumors, and remove bootleg material.

Unfortunately, he's been living a fantasy life (I guess spurred on by excitement of having a direct source in the band) and he pretends to be something he isn't.  He pretends to be a musician from LA, instead he is just a guy from Alabama.

In public, he has stated he was born in 1962, he is bi-polar, he is a musician, he lives in Malibu etc.  In private, he has told people he is Axl Rose.  This has led to impressionable female forum members over the years to be at his beck and call.  This famously led to a female member from Florida being outed as him, and being completely ostracized from the fan scene.

Ironically, this female member and him supplied a ton of info for the book 'Guns n' Roses:  The Band that Time Forgot' (she was thanked in the acknowledgements - he couldn't be, due to leading a pretend life)

As for the quote above - I don't think Beta involves Fernando.  Jarmo understands this guy is liked by the camp and moderates the forum accordingly.

That's right. It's all Slash's fault.

Just for avoidance of doubt - this wasn't Mojo, this was an associate of his.  A young guy, banned from all forums, who has formed a friendship with Mojo.

Live Nation put a Tour Manager on every tour they promote.  That person will (amongst other things) manage the relationship between band and venue, in close association with the Tour Accountant.

The promoter will agree venue hire fee and the inclusive services that fee includes.  The Tour Manager will be involved with the overall 'settlement' - the exchange between venue and promoter.

If the venue has an in house ticketing platform, they will have sold a certain allocation of the house.  This will be paid over to promoter - minus venue hire, collection royalties, and any additional services agreed on the rider (additional backstage security, additional confetti clean up etc etc).

This settlement is typically done after the main act as taken to the stage and both parties are satisfied the concert is happening.  It is signed there and then (on the understanding there may be some dilapidations or overrun penalties) then paid the following working day.

Indoor venues typically take all of the bar, a percentage of the merchandise sales and charge a hire fee.  If they sell their own tickets, the venue takes the booking fees.  Live Nation take the face value of the tickets minus the associated costs, and pay the bands guarantee out of that.

All of the above is handled by Live Nation and the venue.

Del James role as 'tour manager' will be from inside the GNR camp, and not the actual Live Nation tour.  He is likely acting as a PA for the artist, liaising with Angie from Live Nation to facilitate the artist requests.

The band will likely request a cash advance each time they arrive at a destination.  This is generally spending money for the artist and to pay their own people (outside of the Live Nation payroll).  This can cover sightseeing, masseuses - basically anything the band want to spend cash on.

Rather than carrying a huge amount of cash on tour, Live Nation will likely arrange with each venue to cash waiting on arrival.  It's likely Del collects this from Live Nation and uses it for whatever Axl, band and TB deem necessary.

Absolutely cannot stand the asshat being talked about. He has been a total dickhead since he first appeared. Looks like his own forum consists of about 4 actual real people. Hell, they may all he him. POS.

He appeared early 2000s and has portrayed this character pretty much ever since, with some slight adaptations.

I don't like to see people implying he is all of the multiple accounts.  He genuinely does have followers behind the scenes who defend him and act on his instructions.  Usually female, who think they are doing the GNR camp a favor based on what he's implying.

To be fair and objective, I have just been reading the last few pages of posts, and to honest, this issue being discussed  involves a small manority of people and can be best summed up as being a tv soap drama. To be honest there are a larger majority of people like myself far removed from this, as I am from a little country in the pacific at the bo8of the world. 

It's clear we now know, based on people better informed, and after reading whats been stated, that the band nor its management are involved officially in removing content from YouTube. Is this correct or yet to be established?. 

The reason why I ask is, as an outsider far removed from information about this subject being posted, I would think it's not in the best interests of any of the band or its representatives to get involved as it's not their business nor should they waste there time on an issue that only effects a small manority of people. 

The person spoken about, their actions, their motivation behind these actions, or the actions of others, who choose to communicate with that person, or choose to become associated with that person, cannot be controlled by the band nor its management.

 

 

 

 

 

It's all very well you feel like that.

It doesn't change the fact that if you post an opinion that he disagrees with on the official GNR forum, you run the risk of being stalked, doxxed and your family and work getting bothered.

I think it's worth pointing out that although Beta is appreciative of this guys support, her or ANY Gnr associate ever publicly acknowledge his existence or communicate with him.

This suggests IMO that they know his behavior is questionable and they want no association.

On Twitter, he follows Axl, Beta, Fernando, Dizzy, Slash, Duff, Fortus, Jarmo, Adler, Tommy, Frank, Andy Copping (Live Nation), Merck, Nik (worked on official site).

Not a single one of the above follow him back!  

That to me seems very deliberate.  There are many of us on here who are being followed by some of the above, it's no big deal.  Anyone of any note in the GNR camp have very much declined the option to follow that particular account.

That should be all the proof his followers need but he'll be feeding them some elaborate excuse behind the scenes, about him needing to stay incognito for whatever reason.

How and why would I get this clown's number? Someone showed me the screenshot of a spam text she got, claiming it was me. Why me? I'm from New York and the # she was texted from was from New York....Buffalo, NY. A full 6 hours away from Long Island where I live. Buffalo is closer to Canada than NYC. 

They make shit up and it's allowed on GNR's official forum. This should be GNR's official forum here. Dealing with trolls is one thing, but these people have personality disorders. 

That's why it's so concerning and speaking about it relatively openly helps.

If you do/say something this guy disagrees with, he and his little army will analyze every post you've made on that forum, and every other forum, then find your Twitter/Facebook etc.  If you've said anything remotely controversial, they'll inform your employers, you're family, you're spouse etc. 

This isn't an exaggeration - people posting on the official Guns n Roses forum run the risk of this happening to them!  And it's tolerated and a blind eye is turned.

It's happened to you.  He doesn't like your podcast, so this girl (his 'muse') is now slandering you saying yo sent porn to her phone, despite it not being your number, your location, and the screenshot clearly showed it was spam sent to multiple numbers.

Others are starting to come forward (in private), so talking like this is helpful to collate peoples personal experiences with this guy.

If don't get banned for racist posts what do you get banned for. The Mods eat out of his hands. 

I know for fact TB appreciate his history of support.  There is every chance mods have been told to go easy on him.

I doubt they know half of the claims he has been making behind the scenes.

Talking about getting people to do his dirty work for him - remember when Kevin Skwerl released his article?

Read the paragraph The Investigation  http://www.bandmine.com/news/63/the_full_story_behind_our_chinese_democracy_leak/718435

He persuaded the girl from Florida who I mentioned earlier to go to the FBI about the links, whilst keeping himself firmly out of it.

So you all are saying Team Brazil are complicit with this situation?

Beta has communicated with him for many years.

It's a very complex situation.

There is a long, deep element of manipulation in this story, which is why it frustrates me when people dismiss him as 'crazy' and move on.  He has targeted impressionable female members for over 15 years and manipulated them into believing he is Axl Rose, or has access to Axl Rose (depending on how suggestible his subject is).

Cunningly, he will avoid saying he is Axl, however, using a VPN, he switches IP to whatever country Axl is currently in, and will tie in whatever situation Axl is in (i.e. telling members he has injured his foot when Axl was singing on that throne).  He has described himself as living in Malibu, being born in 62, being nocturnal and more creative at night, being a musician, being bi-polar (he stopped saying this when Axl said in chat he wasn't bi-polar), working in a Malibu studio, using pro-tools a lot, etc etc.  This is all untrue.

The reason I hate seeing it dismissed, or not being allowed top be spoken about, is that he always gathers a small army of followers who believe his lies and do the dirty work - such as doxxing, stalking, personal attacks etc, in the hope that is scores them points with Axl/GNR.

Remember the girl on here who went to Marc Canter's restaurant to return the book in person and tell him it was all lies?  She is his current 'subject'.  She thinks he is an artist and she describes herself as his 'muse' - the extent of his art is lifting GNR photographs from the web, running them through a photoshop filter, and adding some GNR logos and mirrors. This same girl is now saying Brando from A4D podcast sent her an unsolicited text message, which is completely untrue.  At his request, she will harass and find out info on forum members that he has a disagreement with.

A woman from Florida had her life ruined over this.  Her behavior was very naive and she should have been a lot more mature, but she was led into believing he was Axl and they were in love.  She was incorrectly outed as being him by a previous mod on here and people contacted her at home and at her place of work - all because they had been abused by this guy for years.

Speaking openly has helped, and his lies are becoming less frequent and his followers diminishing.  

He doesn't actually own the forum where they claim to speak the 'truth'.  He was a member on MSLs old forum and convinced a female member to purchase it and appoint him as admin.  This girl is a litigation lawyer from Atlanta and I'm guessing she is now realizing that wasn't the best idea!  She has admitted on meet-ups that she has never met him.  

It's a real shame.  He is articulate, knowledgeable on the band and the music industry in general.  He communicates with beta and actually knows what he is talking about re. situations within the band.  He'd be an asset to any GNR forum if he didn't spread his lies about himself.

I believe the spotlight is on him now and and the 15 years of this fictional character is coming to a close.

Even I'm long bored of Warchild. The copyright things are annoying admittedly 

Yeah, most people are.

Unfortunately though, there are (female) members on other forum who know nothing about his history, who are believing his stories about being a nocturnal, Aquarius, reclusive, edgy musician from Malibu.

Because of this, they are prone to attacking other members on his instruction, and harassing the podcasters at his request, because they think they are going to be rewarded eventually.

This might explain the takedowns and who is behind it.  Says to me youtube and Universal are putting money into to this and want that back, plus more by being the only ones who are playing the videos for these songs.  I would want GNR videos if I were them.  Maybe this is the new MTV and artist will be encouraged to make more music videos.  That could be a plus.  I loved MTV when it was MTV.

Iconic music videos from Lady Gaga, Beastie Boys, Janet Jackson and more are getting an upgrade, thanks to a new partnership between YouTube Music and Universal Music Group. 

The two music giants are teaming up to painstakingly remaster more than 1,000 music videos, spanning multiple decades, in the highest available video and audio quality. "Great music videos are works of art that continue to drive cultural influence across generations," reads an announcement on YouTube's blog. "And just like priceless paintings or sculptures in museums, from time to time they need some TLC."

Around 100 of those refreshed visuals became available Wednesday (June 19), including the music videos for Tom Petty’s 1989 "Free Fallin,’" Beastie Boys' 1994 "Sabotage "and Gaga's 2009 "Bad Romance."

YouTube will add more titles to the platform each week over the next year, distinguished by the #Remastered hashtag, with the goal to have all 1,000 titles available by the end of 2020. The new titles will seamlessly replace the old ones, while retaining the same URL, view counts and number of likes.

“It’s really an honor to partner with Universal Music Group and change the way fans around the globe will experience viewing some of the most classic and iconic videos. The quality is truly stunning,” shared Stephen Bryan, global head of label relations at YouTube. “It's our goal to ensure that today's music videos -- true works of art -- meet the high quality standards that artists' works deserve and today's music fans expect.”

Also included in the effort? Billy Idol, Boyz II Men, George Strait, Kiss, Lady Antebellum, Lionel Richie, Maroon 5, Meat Loaf, No Doubt/Gwen Stefani, Smokey Robinson and The Killers.

We’re excited to partner with YouTube to present these iconic music videos in the highest audio and video quality possible," added Michael Nash, executive vp of digital strategy at UMG. "Our recording artists and video directors imbued these videos with so much creativity; it’s great to enable the full experience of their vision and music. These videos not only look amazing on any screen now, they will be enjoyed by music fans for decades to come.”

You know who is doing it - and you are his supporter. 

In fact, if anyone cares to look at his homepage (the forum where a fictional character spreads the 'truth' about GNR), they will see you writing all over his little message board.
