More like 1-2 sentence quotes that were part of other people’s articles like: “Manager Doug Goldstein stated: ‘Axl’s working with a few drummers now- but Matt’s involvement still hasn’t been entirely ruled out’,” etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should interview Axls vocal coach Be grateful for what you get! This guy does an excellent job. There’s some shit that can’t be asked if you want to keep getting guests!! But given you know exactly what you’re looking for in an interview, I suggest you watch Pump up the volume and start your own podcast.

Who would thought axls "career" would just be endless touring rather than releasing another 2 albums worth or having some sort of a vision. I would like to understand the modus operandi of the managers axl has had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to understand the modus operandi of the managers axl has had. He's looking for yes-men. Therein lies the rub. Besides, what can management do when they're at the mercy of their star and his whims? Nada. You have someone who is unwilling to listen or follow any kind of plan. Hence the revolving door of managers over the last 15 years. The drama with former manager Merck and how that dude was thrown under the bus after Axl failed to deliver CD by the end of 2006 is a perfect example of this. Doc McGhee (former KISS manager, announced on the job in Feb '10 by Axl, fired around Feb '11.) "[Axl] wanted to prove he could write," Mr. McGhee says, "and saw his Guns N’ Roses as a way to demonstrate his contributions to the original band." A Guns N’ Roses reunion is “one of those things the audience was told they would never get,” says Peter Katsis (former Ministry manager), who briefly managed the breakaway band Mr. Rose has fronted in recent years. Manager after manager popped the reunion question. In one 3 a.m. conversation while managing Mr. Rose on tour[2011], Mr. Katsis recalls: “He told me he wasn’t opposed to doing it at some point, and that he had no real issues with Slash.” But he still wasn’t ready. Mr. Rose parted ways with Mr. Katsis in late 2011, leaving the handling of Guns N’ Roses to Beta Lebeis, Mr. Rose’s personal assistant and confidante, and her son, Fernando; they were aided by Mr. Rose’s business manager, booking agent and lawyer. https://www.wsj.com/articles/guns-n-roses-puts-it-back-together-1458760765 12/2011 The constant [reunion] question is an albatross and leaves Rose not only tired but wary of anyone in the business looking to work with him. "All these managers, they all believe in one thing: sell a reunion tour and get their commission. It's just a phone call. It's a half a day's work, or however long they want to keep the bidding war going. They get their commission and they don't care if it falls on its face." LA Times, 12/2011 "Every manager comes in and wants me to make things smaller," says Rose. Guns N' Roses, for example, requires twice as many tour trucks as the budget calls for, he says. Why no one else can understand the band's needs is an obvious frustration for Rose. - LA Times, 12/2011 "We decided, 'No more managers,'" said Lebeis a few days after the Seattle concert. "Between me and Fernando and my daughter, we're dealing with the management." Lebeis added that she characterizes Rose as "more than a son to me," and that after Katsis' departure, "I told [Rose] if he hires another manager, I quit."

If you would tell him that he would kill you, no? He was a professional unprofessional manager. And a first class ass kisser. Not sure if that makes him more or less a manager in the strictest sense.

I appreciate the great work these guys are doing for us fans. However I dont get why would anyone consider offensive asking about an admitted change in a singing style. I guess it depends on the way its being asked, but I dont mean this in an aggresive way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, there are so many misconceptions as to what a manager actually does. A manager isn't a psychiatrist or motivational speaker. They handle the day to day affairs and help to execute for their clients on the business side. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
