No matter what anyone thinks of beta, she's been more than a housekeeper for a while and has been his "personal" manager.
And verbal agreements do matter.

What was that? I only follow Ozzy casually...did he re-record them?
Phil Soussan's lawsuits were also the reason the 1986 album Ultimate Sin, didn't get remastered and re-released in 2002, along with the rest of Ozzy's catalog. They got so frustrated, they just discontinued the album from his catalog. Thought i'd throw that out there.
And like Russ said, i'm sure Axl thought about re-recording the hits. I STILL think a future new GN'R album will feature an additional disc of hits, rearranged, just because it makes sense as a goodie to throw in to sell a physical CD.
But I don't care what era new GN'R re-records it, whether it's the 1999 band that actually did, the 2001-02 band with Bucket, the 2006-07 band with Robin & Ron, or the current one with DJ & Ron... doesn't matter...
No matter how good that re-record is, and I get hard at the thought of a 2002 studio version of Nightrain, NO ONE would forget the originals.
KISS did a similar thing with their 1988 Smashes, Thrashes & Hits collection, re-recording all of their 70's biggest hits with the unmasked band.
You did not see people running around screaming for the Eric Carr version of Beth. And believe it or not that KISS release with the re-records went double-platinum.

Very true they do matter but unfortunately are much harder to prove. I wouldn't have left something like that to a verbal agreement if it was that critical.

They only matter if you can prove them, and if Axl is claiming Beta told him there was an agreement and that is the basis of the lawsuit Axl is screwed unless Beta taped the call. As anal as Axl is why wouldnt he get something like that in writing?
Its like me claiming you agreed to sell me your car for $200 and we had verbal agreement, you really think that is going to hold up in court if I cannot prove it? Nope.
Is activision claiming they never made this agreement?
