2 washed up, one ghetto whore and Beyonce. Kind of proves my point.
no offense dude but Mariah Carey may be washed up but if you think Usher is washed up you need to step into 2012. Walk into any club the guy is still huge with NEW songs. His songs are all over the place. Rihanna is also mega popular regardless of how ghetto she may be. Beyonce isn't even remotely the chart topper that Usher and Rihanna have been the last 3-5 years so by "2 washed up" you'd far beter off including Beyonce than you are Usher.
These people in 2012 are much more relevant than Axl Rose in terms of chart success and pop culture so.....
Re: Axl's net worth....Article Sept 2012
for a band with such a limited catalog, and limited life span of being really popular, they have done really well. AFD, Lies, UYI, plus 1 true mega-tour around the globe.
the thing that surprised me the most is steven adler being worth millions. i think i just assumed he was broke and needing to live off of whatever royalties he's still getting from AFD.

The next club I walk into will be the first. Not my scene.
Re: Axl's net worth....Article Sept 2012
How do they come up with these numbers and how do they account for what they have spent/squandered or alternatively invested and increased. The reality could be vastly different from those figures.
I have no doubt Axl has earned shit loads throughout his time but I doubt he has anything near that amount at the moment.
Re: Axl's net worth....Article Sept 2012
can anyone point me to a thread that addresses the financials of the band? or provide the info here? i am looking for the following:
1. who owns their back catalog?
1A. if someone asks about using a song in a movie/commercial/etc., who has final say?
2. was there an equal split of their profits back in the day? (i thought i read that Axl got 40% based on songs written or something.)
3. Was the original deal with Geffen much better than the typical deal? and if so, does Axl deserve credit for that?
