uruguns Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 They played 5 songs.200,000 for each song. And one of them was a cover and one of them was a solo!are you trying to say it was a rip off?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Less_Reverb Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 (edited) At least we know that he can be bought.I wonder how much $$$ it would take to get Axl to come back here and chat with us?More importantly, how much to perform with Slash?

moreblack Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 This ain't a big deal, I'm sure everybody had a decent time and Axl's band walked away with some good coin. Whoever hired them probably had mad money and would've just kept upping the price had they said no. At some point it doesn't matter how they felt about doing a private show for money, you'd be stupid to say no to a million bucks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnr-4-ever Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 They played 5 songs.200,000 for each song. And one of them was a cover and one of them was a solo!Not true, they played more than 5 songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axl666 Posted October 31, 2010 Author Share Posted October 31, 2010 You would have to be stupid to say no to a million dollars for two hours work.The sellout idea isn't really accurate; from what we know Axl has turned down tens of millions ofdollars to reunite with Slash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zbyram Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 I find it ironic that the ones criticizing Axl for doing this gig are mainly the supporters of a reunion.A reunion would be THE MOST BLANTANT HUMONGOUS FUCKING BULLSHIT CASH GRAB and nothing else. The Moscow concert wasn't shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never accepted a pay rise?If the band played this gig for FREE all of your Re-unionist aresholes would still be talking shit - "no one will pay this line-up to play" etc.Slash plays all of his shows for free I guess, gives it all to charity I suppose - god bless him.

gunsguy Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 I see something interesting in this thread. The band were not just paid 1 million for this show, there is more to it. Listen anyone can put up one million to have them play but they aint playing for everyone, there was a reason they decided to do this one and it was not for $$$. Think about it guys some rich kids could get mom or dad to pay a million, does not mean Guns will play his birthday or some shit...Anyway they get paid every gig they play, they also have to pay alot of people to put on the shows, even a small show..

meanmachine78 Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 I can't read the article right now since it's blocked at work, but has anyone considered that it's not a straight profit of 1 million dollars (unless stated in the article that was the profit). But they just got done playing in England, so to pay for all of the band to fly from England to Russia, plus ship all of their equipment. Not to mention techs and the crew who make the show happen (lightening guy, sound guy, etc). And again, I did not read the article yet, so if it does state that it was a small scaled down show, you might not need everyone, but I'm still sure they need their equipment and stuff. It's not like they were planning on playing Russia and added an extra show for this guy. They had to get off of them and their stuff to a different country. 1 million dollars seems pretty fair to me, with all of that consider. Sorry to waste your time.

However 1 million dollars has this magical aura around it and just wouldn't sound the same if it was 1 million minus the expenses lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RocketKing99 Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 lol, $ta$h fans everywhere in this thread trying to justify Slash's shit by comparing it to this $1 million show.Funny thing is that blabbermouth reports this with the objective of people thinking "oooh Axl is a sellout... blah blah blah".... and then they report Slash's shitty stuff with Fergie (FUCKING FERGIE) like he was the reencarnation of Hendrix. I guess it has something to do with the owners of blabbermouth.net being Slash's record company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who says this is some complete stranger throwing $1 million to book his favorite band? There must be some kind of a connection between the two.

bacardimayne Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Are you persons seriously calling Axl a sellout for this? He's playing a concert. How does playing a concert make you a fucking sellout.And don't give me that "he's using the GNR name" shit. He's been using it for 25 years.
