"Contractual Issues" May not be in the Guns camp!

[Axl Rose aka God]

So it was announced last month that the reason for GN'R being cance-sorry, delayed from Palladia/VH1 was due to "contractual issues," and right away, everyone determined that it must have been Team Brazil or Axl Rose unhappy with the performance. Well, Team Brazil seemed pleased with it, so it seemed odd that they'd pull it. People also speculated that it had to do with classic GN'R videos being shown.

However, it's worth noting all programs from the O2 arena are being pulled from Palladia. For example, from their Facebook,

Palladia:

To the New Kids On The Block & Backstreet Boys fans who inquired about last week's scheduled concert:

Unfortunately due to circumstances beyond our control, 'NKOTBSB: Live at The O2' will not air on Palladia. We will let you know if we plan to air any NKOTB or BSB shows in the future. Thank you for understanding.

So it isn't just Guns being pulled. Perhaps the owners of The O2 are the cause of the issues.

Regardless, something's off.

Interesting development.

lol NKOTB, although I'll admit I had their tapes when I was a little one. I'm embarrassed.

I don't understand why Axl can't release some sort of statement about this.

The 02 show was very poor editing, poorly shot, and poor mixing and was never approved by GNR camp before it aired. It was not VH1's fault or Axl's fault. It was some crazy producer who decided to take matter in his own hands

and told VH1 the show was approved, when it wasn't . The same people who announced the O2 show was being released in theaters, then suddenly was cancelled.. Axl had nothing to do with that as well.

Ah, I've never seen this...my bad...I guess it's just a coincidence.

So yes, all those annoyings crowd shots werent approved by the band, lol. I liked the mixing other than the guitars being too low in the mix during the solos. Worked for DJ, not for Rich or Ron, lol.

[GnRFL]

DJ was almost non-existant in the mix. Some of his solos all you could hear was rhythm guitars. So Im not real bent out of shape it was pulled, especially if we are getting the Vegas show on DVD.

[jthunders13]

whoever shot the show did a terrible job...or at least whoever edited what was shot should actually be shot...im glad i at least got to see it, cause i'll watch anything gn'r related...but hopefully the vegas show is gonna be much better.
