Re: GN'R Filming: How is it financed?
Thinking about this more, I wonder if that's one more reason the Use Your Illusion tour lost so much money. They said they recorded every show, but they never made a cent off those recordings.
I think that was because Axl liked to throw $100.000 after-show parties. Not to mention the curfew fees.

Yeah, those are the reasons normally mentioned (and in places like New York those overtime fees had to have been crazy) but I meant maybe this is something else on top of those things.
At the time I'm sure they thought the filming would turn a profit eventually. Parties and dumbass fees obviously weren't going to make any money back.
Re: GN'R Filming: How is it financed?
Since this thread is about filming costs etc, I noticed this posted at HTGTH yesterday but was subsequently deleted. Some dude posted a thread saying a producer is suing Axl for $70,000. The poster write:
Axl is already saying he's not going to appear at trial since he's scheduled to tour India at that time. This case won't go to trial. Not a jury trial at least for only $70,000 top end damages.
Just thought I would share.
He then got flamed for not being willing to provide a source etc etc then Beta jumped on and posted this:
Axl is not saying anything. Stop assuming shit. Our dates in India has been arranged months before this court date. This person wished he was a producer. He is owed nothing. He wrote some shitty videos for 09 tour and it was not approved by anyone in this camp. Another one that wants his name in the news. He already received around $70k to start the job, got declined and now he wants the remaining $70.

Re: GN'R Filming: How is it financed?
Interesting. Could be for those videos that were played on screen in certain songs.
To me I assume filming the shows is a cost of doing business of the tour..so fits into the category of like how do they pay for the pro lighting and the fireworks?
I would assume they're going to video anyway to display on screens in the video...so then it's just a matter of saving the footage rather than having a live feed only.
Not saying it's cheap but realisticly HD cameras don't cost too much, and there's people that would crew to get to go on tour for cheap...and I'd expect stuff like the pyro is far more costly.
Re: GN'R Filming: How is it financed?
So, some guy posted this, the message got deleted and then Betas stuff is kept there???
Well of course, the fuhrer has to work the backstage door to tell people Axl Rose doesn't owe them anything... and by backstage door --
They pay good money to own Jarmo's soul.

Hang on a minute, he wrote some videos for the 09 tour which wasn't approved but they paid him 70k to start the job? Either you did or didn't commission the job.
