RocketKing99 Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Azoff is in charge of TicketMaster/Live Nation. I'm not sure this is a good thing.You are always negative and saying shit about the band. Nothing new here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure this is a good thing.You are always negative and saying shit about the band. Nothing new here!What the poster said is true though, if Az wants, he could make it very difficult for Axl to tour in the US.It depends if he and Axl are still on good terms.

gunsguy Posted February 17, 2010 Author Share Posted February 17, 2010 (edited) I just don't see that happening Azoff is a business man, he likes money, concerts = money, done. I also really doubt his departure has any thing to do with ticketmaster more their own things going on.

And he wouldn't let a thing like this get in the way of putting coin in his pocket. With that being said, I don't think Ticketmaster even deals with acts that would draw the capacity of a school gymnasium anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That remains to be seen. It was rumored he was pushing for a reunion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Money Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Funny. I saw Doc McGhee in the Chili's Bar at the Minneapolis Airport on my way home from the Calgary and Edmonton shows. Like a loser fan, I walked up to him and introduced myself as a huge fans of many of the bands that he's managed over the years. I told him that I just returned from the Guns N' Roses shows in Calgary and Edmonton. He shook my hand and asked me how I enjoyed them and said that he just came from Edmonton himself. I told him that Axl and the band sounded great and I was excited about seeing two more stops on the tour. Then he said pardon me, nice to meet you and started talking again to someone else. I then realized that he had an iphone / ipod ear bud in his ear and I had interrupted a phone conversation. At any rate, it was cool to meet him and I knew that he was at least at the Calgary show because Sebastian Bach is apparently managed by him because he said something from the stage like "Doc Fucking McGhee, my manager, is with us tonight!!! We're going to do this next song for him". So I guess they were up in Calgary and Edmonton talking business and Doc went to make sure that Axl could still bring it. I'm sure he was impressed cause he saw the same two shows I did. Eddie Money fka Outtagetme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sweet Tooth Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 For the people that are saying this is a bad choice because Azoff owns Ticketmaster.... can I say one thing?SO?!That doesn't mean anything, Ticketmaster is still going to sell Guns N' Roses tickets. It's about money, dick. Money! It's about mon-ey, dick! MONEY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
