ChristmasFnatic Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 I rather not get excited about such vague statements anymore. Unless there is something more concrete, its just stupid to get excited. We have been in this road for many times, and for nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tippin Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 What it should've been: 1) Set up studio time in preparation for the next album2) Getting a strategy together to deal with the record company3) Convincing Axl to get back in 2006 shape/setting up personal training sessions4) Puting together a public relations strategy to help win back a severely declining fan baseWhat it probably was:1) Insulting the fan base2) Changing their phone numbers3) Discussing legal representation/strategy for the case of Axl V. MSL4) Trying to get Rock In Rio to give them another shot to embarrass themselvesWhat a sad fucking state of affairs.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mixk Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 What's the news here? I would think and hope that Fernando and the rest of the management team are in regular meetings. It's sort of what managers do. And anyone who thinks a two hour meeting is long have very little experience with business and managing.Agreed. Meetings are actually the opposite of "getting things done."Quoted for truth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

username Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 I think Fernando is a hero for devoting 2 whole hours of his busy life to the band he's managing. Go Fernando! You go-getter career tiger you! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patience 4 Axl Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 I don't think anyone was saying anything about having a meeting was supposed to be impressive.Good, because it's not. I think it's more impressive that they actually made 7 tweets about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useyorappetite Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 even axl thought it was a bad idea to make them manager. that should tell you everything you need to know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One.In.A.Million Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 I view 2006/7 as the final period where there was some substance behind what they was doing. It felt like the whole camp behind each other, and was working towards something new and groundbreaking. Since the release and subsequent tour, they really have just been going through the motions, no passion to move forward at all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest NGOG Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 This is certainly a very interesting revelation from Fernando. If you consider that GNR management is a family, that seems to make formal meetings unnecessary. The only other party you could imagine GNR management engaging with as part of formal meetings would be Interscope. From all of this I am fairly sure management have been talking to Interscope about what they hope to do with the brand next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niceguy Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Two hour meeting?WOW!!! Call Forbes! We have a new Warren Buffet on our hands!Fernando is such an incredible businessman. And Going Down would be the #1 hit in the entire world if they released a finished mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 (edited) Probably a two hour meeting to decide upon whether to tour the hits in South America next time, or Europe. This is certainly a very interesting revelation from Fernando. If you consider that GNR management is a family, that seems to make formal meetings unnecessary. The only other party you could imagine GNR management engaging with as part of formal meetings would be Interscope. From all of this I am fairly sure management have been talking to Interscope about what they hope to do with the brand next year. Fair point. There could be some good in this news in the sense that, Interscope are probably saying the exact same stuff as we are: ''why is Axl not releasing a record?'', ''Why all the tours?''. They are probably thinking, 'what is the use in having Axl signed with their label?'. So they might put some pressure on Team B's thick skulls.
