Re: GNR In Central America
Russ, I think they are selling more tickets than they anticipated. They would be complete idiots not to tack on some more huge gigs while in the area.
Pretty much says it. Why take off, when you're selling out stadiums?
Dumb business move. They'll stay until they get tired, or those European dates start approaching.
Re: GNR In Central America
Hopefully, these huge shows will bank roll and fund the "business" to the point where they can properly release another record in the Fall and clear up any lingering monetary issues from the Chinese debacle. What do you think "Apex"?
:smile:
All above board, old man. 
Seriously, I doubt there are as many unsettled accounts between Uni & Axl on the CD bill as there are with Axl & Sanctuary Group (now a Uni-subsidiary). Merck pulled a real fast one to bring an ailing company to help his boy out in 2004 while finishing the album and Uni basically inherited the debt (management fees, recording costs, etc).
Axl's not stripped for cash, but the scuttlebutt is that Guns have certainly been on the brink of bankruptcy. The dude's smart enough to keep his personal fortune tucked away from the business side of things, but selling the publishing rights to the back catalogue as collateral meant all the less income from music licensing, etc.
Axl gets his money mainly from royalties, but CD hasn't made the band that much richer. Touring & merch sales are basically a necessity at this point to keep everyone on the payroll on a regular basis (even though they've stuck through the drought). In that sense, it's cool Axl seems to seriously enjoy touring again.
Another record? Axl's not working on one "right now", as he spends the down-time between tour legs on a bender. Who knows what he did throughout last year, but unless Album #2 is already mastered and sealed off, I wouldn't count on getting new music this year.
The US/Euro legs should give a clear signal to Uni in terms of CD's popularity / Guns stock market value, for better or for worse.
