Ashlar Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 With an album anything over $10 is profit the record store recieves. The last bit is divided amongst the record company and then the artist. Probably 1.25-2.00 per unit will come back to the band. 2,000,000X8=16m=CD payed for.Not to mention a 200 date tour could make upwards of $50 million depending on the venues.

Axl owns dexter Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Lets see. Greatest Hits has sold what...5 million and counting worldwide. Plus the production costs for that sucker were about as minimal that you can get. You can offset those profits from the 13 million. Then the rest of the 13 million was spent on 2-3 albums of material. I think Axl and co. would really have to f*ck things up to not turn on a profit on this whole deal.

gunsnaxls Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 No wonder Axl's been wearing the same shirt everywhere . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Sparkle Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 12 million is nothing in the record industry..Look at ITUNES, just hit the one billion download mark... each song .99 cents... correct me if i am wrong, but that is close to a billion dollars and ITUNES has not even been around that long. Now add napster and the reset of the online downloads, GnR could make 12 million back the first week.Just think how much money everyone gets from royalties too.. GnR is a cash cow, this is why they have not dropped Axl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Niveen Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Anyone who thinks CD is going to generate positive cash flow over 10 years, needs be locked in a room with Suze Orman for an hour.(Not to learn anything, just for punishment.)

wasted Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I'm thinking nothing will happen. He's just staying in contact. Next year we'll get some more demos. He's doing these shows again this year but they'll be no album. Just my guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimo85 Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Who fuckin knows whats gonna happen. This is Guns we're talkin about, and more importantly Axl. They could release CD, it could become the best sellin album ever, they could do a 300 date world tour, and be amzin every night, and then release more and more albums. BUT, we could be askin this question in 12 months again, askin each other whether its true that the original group are back together and gonna release CD on the anniversary of AFD. Most of the music buying public dont know whos in GNR at the moment, and what CD even is. GNR cant sell and album just because its got GNR on the front of it. Grimo.
