Sweetest_Child Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 (edited) According to Hits Daily Double, word inside the Sanctuary Music Group is that Merck Mercuriadis will be leaving the company's management team. GUNS N' ROSES frontman Axl Rose is said to be leaving with Merck as a client of the longtime Sanctuary executive.Rose has been saying that GUNS N' ROSES' long-delayed new album, "Chinese Democracy", will be out later this year.GUNS N' ROSES' "Greatest Hits" collection, which was originally issued in March of 2004, was certified triple-platinum on April 11, 2006 by the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) for shipments in excess of three million copies. The CD sold almost 13,000 copies in the United States last week alone (week ending September 3), bringing the total number of copies sold since its release to 3.15 million, according to Nielsen SoundScan.Source: http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermo...ewsitemID=57925 Edited September 13, 2006 by madison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fantomas Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 (edited) and the tired, worn out drama continues. Holy god this is getting old. Axl is really down to zero hour now. If he drops the ball now, this could really be it for him. Edited September 7, 2006 by fantomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kannon21 Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Good for Axl if it's true I mean, it shows his loyalty just like in Entourage But please don't let this delay the cd from coming out Kannon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll definitely give him that credit. However, if this unsourced story is true and he does leave. I can't see another label wanting to pick up the record assuming the debt comes with it. Assuming Axl is even allowed to take the music with him if he leaves Sanctuary. They need protection too. There is a chance they may even own the music. I have no proof of that obvioulsy, but just kicking ideas around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GET OFF AXLS BACK Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 (edited) Delays delays delays The above is simple im sick and tired of there being reasons why this might not happen soon and want to here the big wigs give us reasons why it WILL.Guess Axl likes Mercks style of management which is good for us because if the flamed haired once recluse hermit fucking cave dweller is happy then we get shows and the Finckster Edited September 7, 2006 by GET OFF AXLS BACK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artfromtex Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 (edited) Sanctuary sunk alot of money in that album. if Axl, who is under contract to them, tries to leave, they have every legal right to release whatever master tapes are in their possesion. i can't see Axl letting that happen. but if he breaches his contract, he knows it will. this story might be a bunch of bs. if it is true, then the proverbial shit is hitting the fan.

fantomas Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Yeah, this is a pretty major rumor that needs to be either confirmed or squashed quickly. And if it is confirmed a contingency plan would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LA_0013 Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 I'm not an expert in the music industry, far from it, so may be a little naive saying this...But is it not possible for Axl to stay with Sanctuary, yet have an external manager (ie Merck?)LA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGann Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Sanctuary has put ZERO dollars into the album. That's Interscope. This is not necessarily negative! I'm speculating and dreaming, but it COULD be that tour dates are booked, so promoters can now take over the promotion. The album could well be in the hands of Interscope, and they will be the ones to promote that. Maybe Merck is devoting his time to Guns without the pressure of heading up Sanctuary...if the album is close to release, then this is a good time to work with them exclusively!The publishing rights ARE owned by Sanctuary Group, so that's a question, b ut that shouldn't affect release of material./Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
