Katarina's Benzova absence
guitarpatch replied to nikosgnr's topic in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS
They need each other. None of them are getting paid that much on their own. The tour being canceled affects all of them legally and financially They may have known. It would have cost them less to settle after the tour ended -

I could see a situation where new management is brought in and TB is essentially back to being personal assistants Theres a good chunk of $ at stake here. A settlement is coming out of the band’s pocket. Potential touring and relationships at stake if he sticks around on that level -

Gross behavior and gross use of power. Unfortunately this is a wide spread issue in the music business Going at the band’s wallet is probably the only thing that will make them change -
Slash leaving Marshall for Magnatone?
guitarpatch replied to ZoSoRose's topic in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS
He’s just not an exclusive artist with them. It looks like Magnatone came to the table with something that Marshall couldn’t/wouldn’t provide. The ownership change might also a mean a change of direction with how they look at those deals as well. Marshall’s focus seems to be on integrating the brand with their parent company and producing import models. That’s where Slash probably fits in. Not so much with a high priced amp that he’d use on stage -

Exclusivity comes at a price. Slash now gets to shop around. Marshall has also recently changed ownership and maybe they simply weren’t willing to cater to what he wants from that relationship any longer. Maybe Magnatone just came to the table ready to collaborate He doesn’t even play strictly Gibson. The BC Rich, Guild double necks, Travis Bean etc… have been stage used for years. It would be wild to see him take out a tele though -

I think he’s been using magnatone already on the last tour. They’ve prob built him an amp close to his Marshall specs and even throw the same celestion speakers in the cab -
There’s a ton of reasons as to why something doesn’t translate to vinyl. Running time can be one of them. Mastering needs for vinyl is another big one. My guess goes towards the latter The hidden song theory just doesn’t make sense to me. They played it live. I wouldn’t expect more than what was presented. You’d think they’d want to stretch everything they have over multiple releases or hold something back for an EP/LP release with all of the singles

Looks like Walmart has a red variant exclusive of the 1 LP Greatest Hits that has November Rain 2022 and Hard Skool https://www.walmart.com/ip/Guns-N-Roses-Greatest-Hits-Walmart-Exclusive-Red-Rose-Vinyl-Rock-LP/5055219988?athbdg=L1100&from=/search -
A few thoughts on the album front 1. the follow up album was most likely done. Once UMG stopped funding the project, it probably made things complicated. Especially when the follow up was ready and you get into advances 2. Singles vs album approach. It seems like they are working these releases within their touring deals. 2 songs per tour and you get to go to the well many times over vs just one album release. Maybe it’s just all part of the negotiation. It creates a news cycle and fulfills their promotion obligation since Axl doesn’t do interviews 3. Whenever they’re done getting everything out, we will see everything released on one album. With all of the $50 color vinyl variants that you would want 4. The more these rehashed songs get released, the better chance of an expanded Chinese Democracy box set

I’ll hold off judgement on the mix until there’s a digital release. A vinyl rip, if this is the source, isn’t going to be the best representation Cool songs. I think you kind of get where Axl wanted to go direction wise. It’s a shame it never got through the process of releasing these songs until now

It’s possible that big releases such as The Stones and the Beatles could have pushed them back in the queue However if it did, management, the band and UMG knew about this for weeks if not months. They need to communicate the delay. It looks like UMG had to send out a blanket email as a bare minimum Saying Sorry for the delay a few weeks back would go a long way. Also they could start the holiday discount code early with “Sorry10” or something in their merch store. Use it to their advantage

There’s a bit of a difference in a release date and an expected shipping date for a preorder I would think eventually it will be on streaming sites. I’m not even sure if it will be shipped tomorrow. Hopefully in the next week. Expected shipping is a estimate Remember this is a Perhaps vinyl. The band isn’t exactly pushing much of anything about the B side
