Sorry. I didn't realize what I wrote.  I think she is 21

She's turning 21 in August, does her band play any other big gigs without gnr being involved? 

I'm wondering the same thing, what does he do with it after he's done fixing it up?

No that's different

Thanks is it an interview with izzy or was he talking to someone else about izzy? Sorry it's a bit confusing

He told me Izzy

So definitely izzy? Is it also airing on the 11th?

To me it looks like Jimmy Ashhurst. Mitch says the Ju Ju Hound called randomly. It doesn't sound like something Izzy would do to a journalist. It has to be Jimmy. 

But izzy randomly called rolling stones.... But he said current member, now I'm confused and slightly annoyed if hes just leading people on

Does anyone else think that maybe Izzy doesn’t check/answer his emails that often? Perhaps he’ll get to Art Tavana’s messages next...

Probably not, didn't art tavana say that izzy cancelled a scheduled interview with la times after the art tavana article came out? And he also disclosed stuff about his personal life (videos shot in girlfriends house and the house being on the market) in his last podcast with gnrcentral. He probably scared izzy off

I think this may have been a factor but I imagine Alan Niven advised him exactly what the worth of the GnR partnership was prior to his departure. 1991 GnR was a behemoth brand. Any person with an iota of business sense wouldn't have sold their stake if given the choice imho. I suspect 2 main factors

1. Steven being ousted out of the band and all of the partners dividing his stake required an amended partnership agreement. They had to essentially buy out Steven from my understanding. Therefore the amended agreement more than likely required a departing member to be bought out. I don't think Izzy had a choice as far as retaining his stake. 

2. Izzy was facing a contractual demotion in the band as per vintage interviews from Izzy and Axl. The precursor to this was Axl and Slash taking over the band from '89 onwards and Izzy having less and less influence in band affairs. But the contractual demotion was Axl's retaliation to Izzy's demands that Axl show up on time for shows and that any fines the band was incurring because of Axl's behavior be directly paid by Axl instead of by the band. If Izzy was going to continue in GnR, he had to basically take a lower percentage cut than the other three partners. Slash was complicit and went along with it. I vaguely recall reading innuendo that Duff had major reservations about it. I think the timeline for this is during Spring of '91 all the way till the day before Izzy quit in September. Izzy even showed up to rehearsals in December '91, right before the 2nd leg of the tour (presumably to work things out). Point being, signs seem to point to him being essentially ousted from the band. There was no way he could have remained in GnR without accepting a downgraded position - he was facing an ultimatum and so he called their bluff and walked.

* Duff and Slash retained their partnership stake because Axl withdrew from the agreement and formed his own band. Axl couldn't demote Slash to an employee without Duff's approval in the original partnership. If Duff had gone along with it, it's conceivable that Slash could have faced the same situation as Izzy in 1996 : getting bought out of his stake in the band or accepting a demotion.

@Blackstar thoughts?

Isn't it #1? I'm pretty sure it was written somewhere, that after Steven left, they ammended the partnership. Anyone who leaves the band must sell his shares to the remaining partners. So if you want to leave, you have to sell your share. I think it's in one of those contracts/documents that as shared a couple of years ago.

Just saw this conversation on GnR fanspot from a guy who went to Stevens show last night...

So Izzy can’t have been at a soundcheck at the same time as Steven - which means he definitely wasn’t at the Nashville one he supposedly walked out of.

Alan Niven confirmed that It was the Nashville one he meant to Gambit via Mitch Lafon - which just goes to show you what shit those two talk! What a misrepresentation of Izzy by them! 

 

Thanks for sharing this niven has been out of the loop for so long, dunno why people are still giving him a platform

Imagine if during the Fermanager Q&A he gave us as a forum the option to vote for one new song to add to the setlist 

He can't do that because axl can't sing all the songs anymore.

When does it start?

Sometime in June I think, the one here is November

I've no idea I'm afraid, but my guess would be no

Thanks will probably wait out how this leg goes before deciding 

@downliner would you know if there's any chance izzy will show up on the upcoming leg of the tour? There's someone saying that they are coming to my country so I'm thinking if maybe I should watch, but not sure I wanna spend money if there's 0 chance that izzy will show up. Thanks

He is the source of the well being of that obnoxious family...all of them ( I count 10 people at least, Nando, Nando's wife, the girl, vannessa, vannessa's husband, the girl, Beta, Beta's sister and two more brazillians)....they are having the time if their life..not need another source of income

There's something wrong there right? I'm not the only 1 finding it weird? 1 or 2 members is fine but axl is everyone's bread and butter. Are they not capable of finding another job or even a bit worried that people might think they are taking advantage

Why? It's a family business. GNR has been succesfully touring the world for a couple of years now. What extra credibility could a small client give them?

They've built up their lives around Axl and GNR, and by the looks of it, they can afford a nice lifestyle. Why overcomplicate things by taking on another client? That would make no sense at all.

Just to show that they are capable of managing or building someone else's career, axl was already known and successful prior to them. And so that it won't seem that axl is the family business, instead managing artists is the family business 

7 minutes ago, MillionsOfSpiders said:

Yes.

I think this is why many don’t respect him as a manager as he has never had to work hard to make a band successful. 

I appreciate it must be a very difficult job to manage Axl, just getting him to a show is probably a massive nightmare but he isn’t alone with that. He has Vanessa and Beta too.

I cant really think of any managerial decisions that have been good for the band that could have come from him. 

So axl is the only source of income of the entire family?! They should have another client even a small one just to make them seem credible 

1 minute ago, MillionsOfSpiders said:

Only Axl. 

But I bet it the same trying to manage 4 or 5 different singers 

Thanks So his entire career is dependent solely on axl

Does he manage other bands/singers? Or is axl his one and only client?

You mean the fight? What we know is that she was hosting a party at Axl's house. But he was against it. That's where the whole mess started. He wanted everyone to leave. Stephanie and him argued. And the argument turned violent. According to People's magazine he grabbed Stephanie by the hair and dragged her over some broken glasses. And she hit him in the balls. She said she was defending herself. And that was the end of their relationship. Although Axl tried to get her back afterwards.

According to the people magazine article that fight happened Christmas or new year, they were still together after that, they broke up February and she got pregnant March. They didn't breakup because of the fight about the party

P.S. What Izzy Strandlin has to do with SFTD? 

Lazy journalism? Since gilby didn't play on it the writer just probably assumed izzy did

Damn it's only an hour drive from my house.

Really thinking about it, will see how this leg goes first

That's why I assumed it was fake. Though if a huge load of money was involved I don't think it would be a problem with the said owners. 

Katy Perry once performed there btw. 

 

True 😁. I didn't know she did, if they didn't have any issues with her, don't think they'll have any with gnr

This is nuts. Already debunked the details on the fake posters. I'd love to see them in the Philippines but as soon as I saw the poster it broke my heart. 

Can't find anything else about this except for the poster shared. You're right though, SM only supports other SM events. And isn't Philippine arena owned by INC? Weird choice of venue if true.
