RBN Who thinks Axl might stick it to Slash by releasing GNR stuff

[Chopper13]

Old Guns N' Roses sucks anyways. Along with the new stuff. Sure some songs are alright, but I just don't like them. That right, I said it.

[Zms]

RBN is not for major labels/bands. Get over it! If an artist this big want's to be in RB it will be done the traditional way (which guarantees quality and bigger revenues).

[aspiring]

Yeah i really think people are expecting way too much from this. Its just going to be 99% indie bands who otherwise would not get this sort of marketing and extra revenue. To think that, say, Led Zepplin or bands of that nature will do their own charts are kidding themselves. And thats the way it should be. Let HMX do the big names while the unknown bands do it for exposure.

[KozmicRiff]

I think that a deal has already been made and old stuff is coming. HMX just agreed to release Chi Democracy first......

[T-Hybrid]

Um, how would Axl stick it to Slash by releasing "old" GNR via the RBN when it would still require Slash's okay to go forward.

Unless Slash doesn't have any IP rights to the material anymore.

[west siide]

No.

Just, no.

I think Slash has the right to play the old songs at concerts, but he didn't technically have the OK to send off Welcome to the Jungle to GH3. You gotta wonder how much control ANY of the members have, seeing how the record company is way damn in debt from a decade of recording Chinese Democracy, and neither Axl nor Slash could stop a "Greatest Hits" release.

That sounds like the kind of thing Axl would do just to do it.

He'll team up with Billy Corgan, who'll probably do the same for all the Smashing Pumpkins songs.

Didn't Billy Corgan want to hook up with old members of his band? Doesn't sound like an Axl thing.

Last thing I remember hearing about that was a full Smashing Pumpkins reunion would happen before a Zwan reunion.

slash gets royalties on those old GNR songs so he'd be delighted to have them licensed. And plus Axl has gone back in to hiding, haven't heard anything from that recluse in a while. Maybe he's angry that Chi Dem was one of the worst selling albums on rock band.

No, Doolittle has that award.

Chinese Democracy is awesome, and sold fairly well.
