Black Sabbath Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 If it's true, then the management now knows how band's feel a lot of the time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm expecting this to magically float away like all the other lawsuits we've seen.This is Irving Azoff's company. He's not going to lose, mainly because I doubt he'd file if he didn't think he'd win.

Lose Your Illusions Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 What did the management company do in 2008 anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 What did the management company do in 2008 anyway?Not get money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMo13 Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 What did the management company do in 2008 anyway?Ha, I don't know, maybe possibly set up a multi million dollar deal with Best Buy....Although they essentially stole from Best Buy with CD so maybe it's Karma.

prez Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 What did the management company do in 2008 anyway?Well I think an album came out that year, but I'm not sure.Azoff is very powerful, and he doesn't fuck around, so I would hope those in the GNR camp are taking this lawsuit seriously.

NiGhTrAiN® Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Cut the drama short.Just give them the money.Set up another tour in SA and make 10x more cash and tell them to keep the change.My money for another concert is already in hand, so what's gonna be?Both parts would be happy, including me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shotgunblues1978 Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 It says they are suing for profits from the tour. Not sure what the contract's particulars were but usually if you part ways with management they don't see any money from deals they didn't do, so unless they booked these shows I don't see how they can claim they are owed money from them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be surprised if they filed a lawsuit without pretty good grounds, atleast in their mind. Back to the Ticketmaster connection... No wonder we're not getting a US tour yet...

MicEffecT Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Probably true. Exaggerated... But true. Front Line was who I talked to about the camera policy for the Canada tour. They re-disrected me to Azoff Entertainment. Figures! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estranged Reality Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 (edited) Who wants to take bets on how many characters Axl's response on Twitter will be comprised of? Edited March 26, 2010 by Estranged Reality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naupis Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Who wants to take bets on how many characters Axl's response on Twitter will be comprised of?None. Azoff is a big dog, and Axl is not going to go out of his way to make this situation any worse than it already is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young_Gun Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Weren't Guns under no management while doing the Japan/Canada 09/10 tour?? So why should Frontline get a cut from the said tour?? This is basically what they are after. Under they were involved in the negotiations of the said tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is basically what they are after. Under they were involved in the negotiations of the said tour.There is a reason why they were not paid, don't know the reason but I do know Axl made it clear they had no management on tour. I think it may be contract and they did not hold their end, my opinion I have no clueWAIT!!! This is from TMZ?

PirateChick Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Didn't Axl say in Asia they were touring without management? Because then that could be the reason why management is not getting money... Anyway how did this issue get to TMZ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway how did this issue get to TMZ??They may have been touring without management, but that doesn't mean they aren't entitled to money for setting it up beforehand. Most of Management contracts have to be bought out for a few million bucks too if the client wants to move on based on things I've read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
