wasted Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Alan Niven, Dougie or Merk?I didn't even know Niven was the manager until he got fired. Dougie did some sterling work before he booked shows Axl didn't know about and Merck...well I don't know his 13 Tuesday-gate has been the work of a true pioneer.Top 3 ALLTime GNR Managers1. Dougie - A mistake but at least it was an honest one.2. Merck - Tuesdays will never be the same.3. Niven - Shit out of luck, fired for no reason as far as I can see...

Guest Matt13 Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Those are the only three managers of all time. Honestly, Axl Rose is the best manager of GNR if you ask me. Those guys are all puppets at the end of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Estranged Reality Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Niven.Goldstein wasn't bad. He communicated well enough, I suppose.Niven had a respect for the fans, though, that surpassed the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MerckDougie seemed to have the toughest job.Didn't Axl run over his foot with a car?Or is that an urban legend? Or was it somebody else?Or did he back over something else?Vaguely recall something about someone backing over something with a car in that NY Times article...but I can't remember...

downzy Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 My vote is for Niven simply due to him selling me his AFD RIAA Gold Album Award. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasted Posted December 15, 2006 Author Share Posted December 15, 2006 (edited) Poor Tour Routing and the infamous "13 Tuesdays" Debacle put an end to Merck Mercurliass. Will go down as the most uniformly ineffective and hated GNR manager.New Updated!!! - Top 4 GNR managers of All Time1. Axl Rose - only one man has the wheel on this ship.2. Alan Niven - The guy who brought AFD.3. Beta - Maybe is the double secret manager. Behind every great man...4. Dougie - The roadie with a brain could have had it all.5. Merck - Selling used cars any Tuesday in the future. Edited December 15, 2006 by wasted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasted Posted December 15, 2006 Author Share Posted December 15, 2006 Dougie booked shows for GNR without telling Axl. A simple mistake but effective.Niven - I think he was just knackered from trying to keep Slash and Izzy and Adler alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
