Re: Axl Rose lawsuit gets off to a touchy start
I do think that Azoff is at risk of being burned here. The Justice Dept. approved the Ticketmaster/Live Nation merger on the grounds that they wouldn't be a big bad monopoly and they'd play fair with the artists and promoters. But if Axl and co. can prove that Azoff is blacklisting them from playing at major venues in the US, Azoff could be in violation of this consent decree and it could throw the whole merger in jeopardy. Or maybe Axl just shows up six hours late for his day in court and the judge rules in Azoff's favor.

You'd never make it in my line of work. If trusting your instincts and self confidence is creepy to you, I suggest not leaving the safety of your house very often. People survive life using those skills everyday.
Oh my God! I get it, Buzz. You have nice job. Seriously, good for you! 
It's the obsession with feeling the need to mention all your pesonal positive qualities that is creepy, not qualities itself...

Is that more or less creepy than your need to question my personal qualities?

This.
If Axl plays his cards right, this could go really well for him. Now, if I could just remember the last time Axl played his cards right...
Pearl Jam thought they were playing their cards right going against Ticketmaster years ago....they got squashed.

I didn't. Only your need to... oh what the hell, you should have gotten it by now, Buzz. Read my posts again. You don't strike me as being THAT slow.

Oh I agree. Someone I know was just bitching up a storm about Ticketmaster the other day. And I said "It didn't have to be like this" then I explain how Pearl Jam tried and the whole world laughed at them. Now the situation is what it is because nobody wanted to back Pearl Jam up.
Axl is using the 'anti trust countersuit' angle to try to coerce Azoff in to dropping his suit or in to settling for a nominal amount. I don't think Axl is actually willing to go to the mat like Pearl Jam was....we'll see.
