DownUnderScott Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 That's cool that Fernando is giving his time to rhis place - many thanks dude. Can't be bothered reading the pages of comments but I hope people are being respectful. He seems like a fair bloke. I've met Vanessa a few times and she is absolutely lovely - genuine, friendly and generous - a real credit to her family and herself. Obviously Fernando cant answer questions too specifically but I can't see why us most ardent of GnR supporters cant be given a little bit of hope by the band or management. Metallica, Slayer, Faith No More etc... are all letting fans know that new album plans are going ahead so why can't GnR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PITBOSS Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Guys, why is anyone getting excited at this? He's saying the same thing "GNR"/management has been saying for years, "There will be news in a few months." Except this time they are down two core members of the band, "GNR" hasn't been in a worse position for forward movement in a long time.It's nice of Fernando to post here, but he's said nothing substantive. Like someone mentioned earlier, I'm concerned he's just as much in the dark as this forum is. Provide the fans with something substantive, stop being the joke of the music industry. I can't speak with certainty, but I'd wager a guess that his silence is indicative of what he can and cannot say at the present time; not a matter of what he does or does not know. Again, I reiterate my point: DJ and Ron leaving Guns should not be viewed as negative developments if you're primary concern is new music. I've been led to believe (by sources I cannot reveal at present) that this is Axl's main focus and who is on the album should be of greater concern than who will be sharing the stage. ok how are you gonna throw this in the middle of this giant thread and not share the details?

I haven't checked this thread in 2 days. I missed nothing.Great, so then we won't expect anymore posts from you in this topic. Seriously.---------------------------Let me reiterate for everyone that if you do not find anything worth your time here, please do not post to let everyone know. We keep this thread open to allow people to pose questions to Fernando in the hopes that he's inclined and able to answer them. In most cases he's limited to what he can say, other times it's not matters he wishes to discuss. But he has provided information and details that we would not otherwise have and I would imagine that most who have participated here have found it worthwhile. If you don't, fine, but there's no need to be vocal about it. Just leave and post in a topic that does interest you. IF YOU HAVE AN ISSUE WITH ANYTHING I JUST SAID, PLEASE SEND ME A PM ON THE MATTER. DO NOT CLOG UP THIS THREAD IF YOU DISAGREE WITH ANYTHING FOUND WITHIN THIS POST. THANKS! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trev Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 (edited) Here's hoping Fernando is currently doing everything in his power to foster an album release, followed by a tour, and scheduling auditions for an ass-kicking line up. Support, encourage, and inspire that guy we want to see on stage!Who knows though.. Edited August 6, 2015 by trev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WAR41 Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Hey Fernando,I actually have a question about your position as manager of a major 'legacy' music act. How often do you get offers to play private events such as the wedding in France? Do you decide which events are the right fit for GNR or is the money the only thing that matters? Does the entire crew make the trip for a private event?To be clear I am not asking these questions to call anyone a sellout, I could care less. You are in a very unique position and you are the only manager I could potentially get an answer from haha. I have so many questions your actual 'management' of the band than the band itself. We get offers to play private events, such as Compaq, HP, Google, etc.. However, it all really depends on the look. How many people, where it is, and what it is for. We rarely entertain such offers, as they are usually not good timing. Essential crew only. If it's the entire band, usually 2 techs for the band members, a few sound guys. The wedding we played in France was for a friend and all lined up nicely, however I felt bad for the crew that day, as we had just finished a show in spain and we were on our way to Mallorca when we had to make a last minute decision to play the wedding. Thanks for answering my questions, great insight. I'll throw some more your way but I understand if you don't have time to get to them:Who actually names the tours? For example, who came up with the name 'Up Close and Personal' for the club tour? Do you guys use a marketing agency or is it always done internally? I have always been curious to know how prices for tickets are decided on. I am actually most curious to know how the ticket prices for the 2002 tour were decided on. There were so many factors to consider for the pricing of that tour since the band hadn't toured since 1993, it had many different faces on stage and there was no new album released. Was there/is there a lot of debate about pricing? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magisme Posted August 6, 2015 Author Share Posted August 6, 2015 Non-GNR discussion is gay. Ask what you want, I guess, but I want to make it very clear that I think all the personal preference questions suck and run contrary to my intentions with the thread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
