whatashame Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 I was just reading Adler's book and he said 1. he signed the contract in which he gave away the rights to the band for the mere 2 grand 2. it was annulled bikoz his lawyer wasn't present at the moment of signing and then I read Duff's book and he said he was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ripped off and fooled into singing his contract (while he was under influence of coke and booze) (which he signed only bikoz he was afraid of a riot - what a sympathetic folk, that guy) if he was so ripped off, didn't his lawyer need to be present at that moment? anybody has any info on that?

thewolfshead Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 (edited) I don't know the whole story, but maybe Duff could have got it thrown out but never pursued it? Edited March 22, 2016 by thewolfshead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Who knows....it was 25 years ago....(a lot of brain cells ago). I'm sure they all remember it slightly different and the truth gets lost. And who cares at this point.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Dude Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 There were attorneys there when Duff and Slash signed those papers. They signed them at the same time they signed the papers on the Adler deposition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stella Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 (edited) 7 hours ago, Mr. Dude said: There were attorneys there when Duff and Slash signed those papers. They signed them at the same time they signed the papers on the Adler deposition. I would believe this 100%. Any lawyer in his/her right mind knows that a contract can be voided if it is signed under duress or by a person who doesn't have the ability to understand what they are signing for whatever reason (being too under the influence to know what you're signing certainly counts). For their own protection they would have had the papers signed in the presence of attorneys who could act as witnesses that everyone was competent. If not, yeah, Slash and Duff could probably easily have gone to court and had it thrown out later. Edited March 23, 2016 by stella 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billsfan Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 I'd bet they've all needed lawyers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
