alfierose Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Hi MarcI've always wondered whether Axl (or even other Gnr members) had considered signing and managing up and coming artists at any point? It's something a lot of other successful artists have done, Jay-z, Madonna, Justin Timberlake etc...I could imagine this having been a good career move and positive focus for someone like Axl particularly as he has always seemed interested in the business side of things.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jman2000 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 I don't think Axl is interested in the shitty music people play now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfierose Posted February 17, 2013 Author Share Posted February 17, 2013 I'm sure there are bands out there that he would enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunsfanoldie Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 If he didn't like any of the shitty music out there today, I'd like to know the realize he uses countless opening bands for GNR nowadays. I have to assume he likes/approvals of most of them. Not that I agree but there are a number of bands he could sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 He should sign Wolfmother. They've gone independent as a last resort. I bet he likes 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
