I think someone summed it up a page or two ago (tr?) about TB: they're not professionals. They don't have experience. Fernando and Vanessa were kids when Beta started working for Axl and Beta herself was a nanny. And now they're managing a band that still brings in millions of dollars per year through royalties, etc. and is known worldwide as a cultural icon. It's like handing someone the keys to the Space Shuttle when they've only flown kites in their backyard. Or expecting someone to do brain surgery when they've taken one biology class. And that's not a slam on them, it's an observation that they just don't have the experience that some other band managers might have.
If the band actually had a social media person who knew their stuff and how to best manage GnR's internet presence, we might not see posts like that horrible video. With a lot of groups it seems that even if the individual members have control over their persona social media pages - and therefore can act like morons there if they wish - the *band* pages are polished, thanks to professional social media management. They've perfected the art of giving fans information and "inside scoops" without oversharing. Aerosmith's page is pretty good with that, IMHO, as is Steven Tyler's fan Facebook. Walking Papers and Loaded, too.
With this? I honestly wonder if they don't know what to post. "Hey, we should post something personal! Okay, the video!" "Hey, maybe we should comment on news stories!" "Show photos of fan art!" Etc. They don't know what to do or how to manage this brand because they've never managed anything else, much less something this big. At the very least even if Axl wants to keep TB as his management -and let's be honest, that's going to be the case - they might want to consider at least hiring a social media person.
You totally nailed it, the sad thing is that they dont even share anything related to the former members who contributed so much to the band, even if Axl hates them it doesn't means they were not part of the band or they dint contribute, Apart from blaming TB, I blame Axl too, he is a very hard person to deal with, the sad thing is that every1 is with him cause of his $$$

What will happen IF
1). Someone locks Axl and Slash in a room alone
2). 20 people in the front of Axl's show carry posters saying "AXL LOVES SLASH"
3). Slash dresses like Ashba and goes to Axl's house
-
I hope this song to be regular whenever he tours next time
-
The book was ok, it was nice to know some interesting facts about behind the scenes, but it seemed he was all the time licking Axl's ass, That Alien thing was interesting, I wonder if Axl remembers it
-
I had a dream last night, Axl's band was doing a show and I was curious to know that who has replaced BFF and then I saw Bucket on stage, then i was like yeah he is back, but then Axl stopped the show and was ranting about this forum that what things have been written about him and his band, he kept on ranting for a long time, then well my dream got over
-
Ive seen it a couple of times, its pretty funny, I wonder if Axl saw it, If Axl goes on twitter, then I assume Axl would also go on youtube and would watch videos with his name
-
What a sad thing, people r standing like morons and not even trying to help or sort out
-
Bucket and Robin are indeed talented, You can't compare them with Matt and Gilby, but well Id rather see GNR with Matt and Gilby even though I really like Bucket, But well I would rather see Steven and Izzy rather than Matt and Gilby
Its a hypothetical thing, its not gonna happen, Axl and Matt are not enemies, but Axl should have called Matt instead of Frank Ferrer, but I guess Axl dint wanted to contact anyone who is in contact with Slash, Duff meeting with Axl was total luck, If that dint happen, Axl would have never called Duff
-
I guess Slash is busy with his own thing, he doesn't wants to do anything related to VR, all he says they r looking for singers
My opinion would be that start VR with myles and replace Dave with Izzy
-
Izzy
in THE JUNGLE
Izzy did contributed a lot, for the illusions albums Slash, Duff and Steven went in the studio way before Axl and Izzy, I guess Izzy was in rehab, so Izzy showed up in the Studio after 6 to 7 months, by that time Slash and Duff had made a lot of demo's, but Izzy did contribute a lot and he is an amazing song writer
-
So Richard and Dizzy are touring as Dead Daises and making a record, I guess no new GNR stuff is being recorded, most prob Axl will master the songs which he recorded for chinese and most prob he will tell Ashba to re record Fink's parts
-
Their Last record was good, it had some nice songs, I hope Steven stays sober forever this time, He is a really nice person and an amazing drummer
-
No, Paul Tobias is his birth name.
Maybe it could be his Middle Name? Paul Huge Tobias?Huge is probably a nickname.
Surely a nickname, even Americans wouldn't call a child's middle name huge
Well if Greenspoon or witherspoon can be a Last name then Huge can also be a middle name
-
Did Axl like it? I heard he did. I think his vocal over that would have been pretty fucking good...
Closest imo to GNR sound for a while and i will never tire of listening to it.. all thanks to Izzy and Slash. Look at the old family tree of GNR.. it's always been like this. I really hope the guys that play well together and write songs together get to just not give a fuck one more time and do it.. the past is just that.
Where did you get the information that Axl liked Ghost or other albums of Slash?
-
I hope the next Album has 10 to 12 songs, not 17 or 20 songs. Im happy at least Slash is making music and releasing unlike Axl, I hope Slash does some stuff with Izzy and Duff and Steven
-
I always wanted a PRS, but well its out of my budget, I hope others can help
-
The best Axl Rose moment was when he hugged Slash for the last time
-
Huge is probably a nickname.
Maybe it could be his Middle Name? Paul Huge Tobias?
-
So BBF is essentially out of GNR yet he's playing with a GNR cover band? Guy complains about not being about to do solo tours because of GNR yet he plays with a GNR cover band, doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
Well with GNR cover bands, he has full freedom to play his songs and do whatever he wants, in Axl's band he is bounded by the big terms and conditions set up by Axl and TB, Axl's band is more of a Business rather than a musician having freedom to make music
-
Was Tobias the first lead part in Maddy? He always played that one live, then Fortus played it.
No, Robin composed that part, the only part which fortus composed in CD was a part of the song Better, the part before Axl goes "Now I know you better, now we all know better", the Rhythm which Fortus plays live of better, even that was composed by Fink
-
Paul hates to play live and tour.
He done the RIR 3 show with GNR because they didn't have a rhythm guitarist because Axl wanted 3 guitarist.
Well Tobias dint only do the RIR3, he did HOB also
-
Why do u people in even Compare Myles with Axl? Myles is not trying to be Axl, he is just covering the songs? Slash is not using the GNR name and calling his band as GUNS N ROSES, Slash is making new stuff unlike Axl
Axl back in the Appetite Era was amazing, but man there is no comparison, Myles is good in what he does and Axl is in good what he does, even though Axl doesnt do shit
As for Ashba, he is the one who came in a band called Guns N Roses and he came in to fill Slash's shoes who just covers guitar parts of Slash and Robin, Whereas Myles is in SLASH's band which is not called GUNS N ROSES and they have amazing songs of their own too

A few years ago he acted in some B Grade Horror movie too, but well he should do whatever makes him happy, I hope he does whatever makes him to stay sober

Does anyone knows if Izzy came in the studio with Slash to record his parts or Izzy just recorded at his home and sent it to Slash?
