tange Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 i've been plenty critical of Axl, but other than the U.S. their touring numbers are pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in the rest of the world, it ain't so clear cut. It'll be interesting to see what this means for the band. You just never know what might be the good omen needed to facilitate productivity.

Damn_Smooth Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 i've been plenty critical of Axl, but other than the U.S. their touring numbers are pretty good.Slash won the U.S. fair and square. But in the rest of the world, it ain't so clear cut. It'll be interesting to see what this means for the band. You just never know what might be the good omen needed to facilitate productivity.How did Slash win the US though? Even with constant promotion, force fed radio play and all of the guest appearances somebody could reasonably make, his US touring numbers are still way smaller. More people are interested in seeing Axl and his "hacks" than Slash and his. It's an indisputable fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shotgunblues1978 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 It's been this way for a while. But they're still listed under the UMG roster. My guess is that any future releases will be under a different imprint. Interscope started off as a hip hop label and that remains its primary focus; GnR was rolled into the Interscope roster when Geffen was swallowed up by the merger. Geffen is still technically a label, but it's basically just a subsidiary run entirely by Interscope (Jimmy Iovine), rather than being an actual label. Been this way since the late 90s. Wouldn't be surprised if GnR shifted over to another one of the UMG subsidiaries like Island or V2 for their next release since there appears to be some issue with Iovine and InterscopeOf course, it would be best if GnR could in fact go independent. Major labels are a thing of the past and are more of an impediment than a necessity these daysi've been plenty critical of Axl, but other than the U.S. their touring numbers are pretty good.Slash won the U.S. fair and square. In terms of getting positive publicity from the mainstream press, Slash wins hands downIn terms of record and ticket sales, not so much. His last album was about 85,000 copies sold when it fell out of the Billboard 200, and he was playing 1,500-3,000 person venues and failing to sell out at most shows.

Projected Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 OK, calm down....Up until a month ago I worked at the biggest record label in the country (for 3 years). We were the official distributer of UMG media in Israel, I did import, so I actually do have connections at Universal.I contacted the girl I used to work with at UMG. She checked it for me, and UMG didn't drop GnR and/or release any rights to any of the recorded material./threadLock this shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sailaway Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 (edited) according to my contact at universal, they are still with the label.For the love of Christ,stop pretending to be important,nobody believes anything you say.Delusional balding 45 yr old psychopath.
