De hecho este estilo le pega bastante. Tampoco hace falta criticar el tema porque no guste el rollo. Así de primeras ya es mejor que the general o absurd.

Drakixx escribió:Yo compro que os parezca un cagarro pero luego no vengáis con que the general o absurd son la hostia. Desde luego que son bastante medianías para un grupo como gnr (y me quedo corto   ). Del tema prog pues oye, lo raro es que alguien esperara algo.

y me reafirmo, me ha gustado el tema. igual es que hacía mucho que no escuchaba nada de sherinian y esto me ha recordado ligeramente a planet x, proyecto que me flipó en su momento....

pues sí, bastante, este proyecto es la continuación porque Portnoy a vuelto a DT y se quiere centrar allí, el primer disco es muy bueno, Bumble tiene algún momento épico y el segundo está bien. Vale la pena darle una oportunidad.

pues le voy a dar una oreja a ver, en base a lo que dices debería gustarme. por aquí se echan muchas pestes de frigopie, pero a mí me parece un guitarrista cojonudo, por ejempo el solo que se marca en su tema turn around es de los más míticos que he oído nunca...

Yo estoy escuchando su discografía en solitario y me está sorprendiendo gratamente, hay bastante más que pajas guitarreras y desvaríos a lo Frank Zappa, pero este es el topic de Axl y aquí son más papistas que el Papa, tendré que abrir topic de Bumblefoot

Que eso sí, le quitas This I love y Rhiad and the Beduins al Chinese y le metes Perhaps y Hard Skool y es, desde luego, mejor disco.

A ver, la teoría de Dave Abruzzesse puede ser cierta o no. Cuando ese tipo estuvo en GNR no existía ni Better, ni The General, ni Scraped, ni Sorry... etc.

En mi opinión Geffen/Intersope apoyaron a Axl hasta que escucharon el material de 1999 y le tiraron el disco, en 2002 se lo volvieron a tirar, en 2004 también... Y así hasta el horrible final con Bumblefoot a bordo. Tarde y mal.

Desde luego Azoff SI quería que Axl fracasase para forzar la reunión. Y esto fue en 2008! Más de 10 años después de lo que comenta el ex de Pearl Jam.

Así que bueno, verdades a medias como siempre.

Pero eso ( según Abruzesse ) eran teorías de Doug Goldatein, no?

A ése cuando le dieron el finiquito?

Axl,
I implore you to read this. First and foremost, I thank you in advance for taking the time to read this.
 I believe there are MANY misconceptions, false-truths, and resentmrent causing issues that continue to fester in Our relationship. I'd love the opportunity to clear these up.
 The sale of Big FD to Sanctuary......
 Ax, I swear on my kids lives, when I was first propositioned by Merck, I immeadiately called Sharon. She told me to fly to England and meet with Rod Smallwood, Merck, and Andy Taylor. Furthermore, and most importantly, she definitavely "ORDERED" me NOT to tlk to you about it. She wanted me to ascertain the strength of the company, which at the time was magnanimous.
 After my fact finding mission, I flew to Arizona to meet with Sharon and Elliot. They concluded that at this point in your career, you needed a powerhouse company with unlimited power and resources to help guide your career. Again, I was given the missive to "surprise " you with this information, as Sharon felt you would be PROUD that I was willing to give up Big FD to further enhance YOUR career. Ax, check with Elliot..if he denies this, he's flat out lying...I swear on my kids lives.
&nb sp; Merck...where do I start here....He flat out fucked me and was a vicious Cancer that intentionally created decietful lies to muddy the waters of our once inseperable brotherhood. I will accept culpability for the fact that for the first time in my life, I wasn't acting in a resposible manner, as far as my responsibilities in guiding your life's path. For this, I can only eternally apologize. I was SO fucked up in the head at that time. I was suicidal over mising my kids, and didn't know how to sufficiently handle the pain. Oh...the $10k a month that Sanctuary claims THEY were paying Sharon, was MY fucking money. They took HALF of my paycheck every month...and paid Sharon..that was a huge hit for me to take, but I was trying to hold onto yours,and mines relationhip!!!
 To that end, I am BACK!!!...my kids live inNewbury Park. Jake is almost 16..the most charming affable, loving guy. On his own accord he picked up the guitar about 5 years ago. He's amazing!! Eli is 10..and God has blessed me with the sweetest ittle guy in the world. I have found an AMAZING woman, named Bridget. She's loved me for 6 years. She has literally broght me back to life. She's supprtive of all my decisions, we never do anything without the other, and we're getting married in July. We own 2 art galleries in Hawaii, as well as opening a Fred Segal type store next December.
 Axl, I'm watching your career with great frustration. I know that the only reason Irving is working with you is to induce you in the future to do THE GREAT RE-UNION TOUR. Give me a fucking break....I KNOW that is never going to happen, and wish people wouldd just fucking leave you alone on this issue. Andy Gould...C'mon..the guys a buffoon. He's a semi-funtioning alcoholic, who doesn't put YOUR needs in first place.
 Ax, This is hard for me to write. I know you abhor this, but the fact is I LOVE YOU with all my Heart!!..I have watched others try and work with you, and whilst quoting an Eminem song, "They don't know you like I do Man".
Al of the so called industry types, which I have always had disdain for,
Clammoring around incompetently handling your carrer.
 The biggest difference, is that know one is taking the time to properly ascertain your vision, and allow you the support and guidance that you deserve. No one that I'm aware of has the bond and ability to correctly adapt your conceptualizations, and implement YOUR ideas, as opposed to pushing their own self-effacing needs and desires. Ax, you know that when my heads right, I'm the BEST at knowing how to protect, market, conceptualize, and most impotantly put my own personal needs or injecting "MY VISION"..give me a fucking break..You don't need someone to GUIDE you..You're the most intelligent, misunderstood individual, I've EVER had the pleasure of working with. You need a facilitator of your dreams. Someone who is humble, loyal, as has no hidden agendas. Guess what bro..THAT'S ME!!
I implore you to find the time to meet with me. You will see for yourself...Dougie is back bigger, better and stronger than EVER!!
 I will be in LA May 8th-the 10th. I implore you to meet with me..I will extend my trip as long as you need me to. I will sit and answer any and every question truthfully and completly. I can come in early, or stay later..You tell me when YOU are available...I'll be there.
 I have a brilliant plan to make you between 10-20 million dollars a year, wehter you tour or not. It's called the "ROSE FESTIVAL".  If you decide to tour with Van Halen, I could do the pre-production and the first show, but need to get back to Hawaii for my wedding.
 The festival would start in Australia in January 2010. The site would be a massive field, holding 250-500 thousand people. It's a two day event, with 3 stages. We'd have a metal day the first day. We would approach Metallica to close the first night. We would have 60 bands including GNR over the course of 2 days. The beauty is you'd be doing 2 shows a wee k, and you OWN the festival in perpituity. You would have to do the initial tour, but after that, you stay home and tellme the bands you want, sit back and collect the money...no longer would you need Irving, or anyone else. I'm willing to move back to LA to be at CAA everyday to find the right sponsors, bands, and fly to EVERY location, ensuring a safe environment. The beauty is instead od the promoter making all the money, you OWN the event. You get paid on parking, all beverages, t-shirt sales from EVERY band on the bill, as well as a lion's share of the sponsorship money. Ax, you know me..if I set my mind on something..I am the BEST at allowing you your vision, and concurrently protecting you.
 I would like to set up a charitable foundation under YOUR NAME, where $2 from every ticket sold goes towards feeding the HUNGRY..imgine if we can get McDonalds to mach us happy-meal for happy meal. You'd personally be responsible for feeding 500,00-1 million people evertime we haVE A show.
The press would be HUGE!!!!
 I would need to be in LA while you are doing the Van Halen tour, as it's imperative to be at CAA everyday to ensure your vision is met.
 I have many other ideas tha I'd love to share with you, including a video idea for "If The World"..Using stock footage, build a montage wth FREE stock footage...Bernie Madoff, the founder of Countrywide..the global stock markets crahing..people jumpig off buidings after losing ther personal wealth, the war in Iraq, the homeless all over the world..etc..you wouldn't need to be in the video at all if you choose not to. I'd over see the production of the video in LA and send you a rough copy FED-EX everyday, so it is YOUR vision.
 Bottom line, please forgive me for not being ther...Bridget has given me aa new lease on life, and I've NEVER been this happy and strong. I weigh 158 pounds, wearing a size 30 jean, eomtionally and physically stronger than I've ever been. I'm up tothe task and KNOW without an hesitation that I can protect yo u and set you up financially for the rest of your life.
 Thank you SO much for taking the time to hear me out, and if you decide NOT to work with me, I respect that decision. I will ALWAYS be ther for you, and YOU decide what I deserve to make for my efforts. I hope you will at least give me an opportunity to sit with you, to allow us the opportuniy to put some resolve to our relationship. Either way, we both need to get on with our lives, and have closure one way or another.
Beta knows how to reach me..feel free to write or call me whenever you feel up to it.
Your Friend,
Doug Goldstein
p.s----sorry for all the typo's..I needed to get his to you asap


Yo he visto a Doug llorar literalmente por zoom, una de las conversaciones más apasionantes sobre GNR que he tenido jamás (con AD de maestro de ceremonias) y se publicó en el Popu.

TheRover escribió:Lo que es digno de elogio, como Doug Goldtein pudo vivir a cuerpo de rey durante tantos años como manager de GNR sin programar ni un sólo concierto. Es decir, desde 1993 hasta 2001 sin hacer nada, cuando un manager vive de programar giras, en teoría es el "patrono" de GNR y debe procurar que la banda gire. No quiero imaginar la pasta que generó GNR entre 1988 y 1994.

A mi Doug me parece un jeta.

Es un JETA con todas las letras,

pero tío, léete la carta, es que dio en el puto clavo con lo de Azoff y más cosas.

Doug no supo gestionar la banda y en parte se fueron a la mierda por eso. Un manager de verdad ahí no hubiera permitido lo de Slash,  hubiera metido a Rick Rubin etc. Doug fue un yes man. Un guardaespaldas que supo hacer bien su trabajo con Niven pero lo de los Illusions le quedaba enorme y así se fue todo a la mierda

 I will be in LA May 8th-the 10th. I implore you to meet with me..I will extend my trip as long as you need me to. I will sit and answer any and every question truthfully and completly. I can come in early, or stay later..You tell me when YOU are available...I'll be there.
 I have a brilliant plan to make you between 10-20 million dollars a year, wehter you tour or not. It's called the "ROSE FESTIVAL".  If you decide to tour with Van Halen, I could do the pre-production and the first show, but need to get back to Hawaii for my wedding.
 The festival would start in Australia in January 2010. The site would be a massive field, holding 250-500 thousand people. It's a two day event, with 3 stages. We'd have a metal day the first day. We would approach Metallica to close the first night. We would have 60 bands including GNR over the course of 2 days. The beauty is you'd be doing 2 shows a wee k, and you OWN the festival in perpituity. You would have to do the initial tour, but after that, you stay home and tellme the bands you want, sit back and collect the money...no longer would you need Irving, or anyone else. I'm willing to move back to LA to be at CAA everyday to find the right sponsors, bands, and fly to EVERY location, ensuring a safe environment. The beauty is instead od the promoter making all the money, you OWN the event. You get paid on parking, all beverages, t-shirt sales from EVERY band on the bill, as well as a lion's share of the sponsorship money. Ax, you know me..if I set my mind on something..I am the BEST at allowing you your vision, and concurrently protecting you.
 I would like to set up a charitable foundation under YOUR NAME, where $2 from every ticket sold goes towards feeding the HUNGRY..imgine if we can get McDonalds to mach us happy-meal for happy meal. You'd personally be responsible for feeding 500,00-1 million people evertime we haVE A show.
The press would be HUGE!!!!
 I would need to be in LA while you are doing the Van Halen tour, as it's imperative to be at CAA everyday to ensure your vision is met.
 I have many other ideas tha I'd love to share with you, including a video idea for "If The World"..Using stock footage, build a montage wth FREE stock footage...Bernie Madoff, the founder of Countrywide..the global stock markets crahing..people jumpig off buidings after losing ther personal wealth, the war in Iraq, the homeless all over the world..etc..you wouldn't need to be in the video at all if you choose not to. I'd over see the production of the video in LA and send you a rough copy FED-EX everyday, so it is YOUR vision.
 Bottom line, please forgive me for not being ther...Bridget has given me aa new lease on life, and I've NEVER been this happy and strong. I weigh 158 pounds, wearing a size 30 jean, eomtionally and physically stronger than I've ever been. I'm up tothe task and KNOW without an hesitation that I can protect yo u and set you up financially for the rest of your life.
 Thank you SO much for taking the time to hear me out, and if you decide NOT to work with me, I respect that decision. I will ALWAYS be ther for you, and YOU decide what I deserve to make for my efforts. I hope you will at least give me an opportunity to sit with you, to allow us the opportuniy to put some resolve to our relationship. Either way, we both need to get on with our lives, and have closure one way or another.
Beta knows how to reach me..feel free to write or call me whenever you feel up to it.
Your Friend,
Doug Goldstein
p.s----sorry for all the typo's..I needed to get his to you asap


Yo he visto a Doug llorar literalmente por zoom, una de las conversaciones más apasionantes sobre GNR que he tenido jamás (con AD de maestro de ceremonias) y se publicó en el Popu.

jajajajaja ENOOORME, goug parece Stans vende motos. Se le ve venir de lejos.

ion, ¿Alguna vez se filtró toda la documentación de Mis Saint Laurent? Aquellas cartas, emails, despidos y la mandanga BUENA DE VERDAD.

Las intenciones de Azoff lo primero y más importante. Algo que confirmó Axl y su posterior baneo en todos los pabellones de USA. Coño, no lo ves? Jaja

Pero que Azoff buscaba la reunión era un secreto a voces, creo recordar.
