I agree, but if people are willing to pay, then why not? Artists don't make crap off of record sales anymore these days, so they have to find different ways to turn a profit.
Agree, that's why when people say $lash or xyz band is a sellout I think it's crap. Unfortunately in todays music environment you need to be innovative and look at other means to make a dollar compared to the traditional ways.
Maybe Axl is just beginning to figure that out.
well i disagree & i think it is crap. you can be innovative & look @ other means to make a dollar but you don't have to use the shoddy practices such as these, ESPECIALLY after your frontman/head honcho vehemently called it "disgusting"!
how the fuck can they reconcile that? just to make a few more canoli's?! there's gotta be a limit to this shit. & this is over the fucking line.
saying that anyone mad enough to pay to meet dj/richard/frank/fernando well, a fool is easily parted with his cash.
Re: gunsnroses.com (Merch store now open, SALE!)
Look if I was them I'm not sure I would charge fans for meet and greet I would rather do it for nothing as a nice gesture.
But I don't blame artists these days for looking at other avenues to make a buck because you aren't gonna get rich from album sales anymore.
Yes it's a complete about face on the issue. But it's funny as I was looking thru those Axl chats again looking for that quote, I noticed Axl making judgements on things or opinions of Slash from 20 years ago. Saying Sash hated Sweet chid or AFD, or he thought this and said that during the post UYI sessions or whatever. Axl has done a 180 degree turn on this issue in 3 years, can't others change their mind or point of view. Hopefully he allows them that grace to change position too over time and not hang them for shit from years ago. If he can that bodes well for a civil RNRHOF.

Agree with you and Faldor. I never understood the $lash shit.
And I really dig the new logo.

Yeah, some of the stuff Slash did I didn't like just out of personal taste. But I never got on the guy for doing what he wanted to do to make an extra buck regardless of how ridiculous it might have seemed.

That DJ is the new guitar player news that was on that site for 2 1/2 years without update, made me miss gnronline.
