what about axl's integrity ? how do you pay for that ?

How would playing a "backyard show" compromise his integrity?  If the OP was willing to pay, and be bound by, all the contractual agreements a normal promoter agrees to...who cares if Axl plays a private show or not?

guess he'd better book an acoustic show then...

You're assuming he'd want one

AND

You're assuming the band would do one.

I'd bet "No" on both those assumptions.

fuck europe.. I would write axl a check tomorrow for $500,000 to have him play in my back yard.? If you're reading this post Axl, I'm not joking.

LOL.? The question is...would the check bounce?? Just kidding! Smiley

How about 500k, plus travel and expenses for the band and their entourage, plus the rider requirements, plus the productions costs (stage rental, lighting, instrument tranportation, soundboard rental or purchase, etc), plus security, plus insurance (for the band, your backyard, the rented equipment, the attendees, etc.), plus relevant permits?? And you may have to give him a cut of any concessions you sell or give away, with a minimum gaurentee.? Ditto on merchandise. Oh, and you have to provide access for a certain number of his people to the show for free.? Add a buttload of other incidental expenses and contractual matters into the equation too...



haha.. if it gets the band to play in America, I don't care if he does an Irish jig for 3.5 minutes and waltzes back to the malibu mansion.  All else aside, I think half a mil is still a tasty offer considering he'd be playing in front of one desperately pathetic fan.

Id honestly say that GnR wont play the USA cos they cant find a promoter, Thats why they are doing the festivals, For the first time ever an american band will tour the usa last on the tour after they have proved they wont cancel.... Im expecting more dates..... worldwide but not the usa

Um, they did the same thing in '02, didn't they?

Asia, Europe, VMA's, and shortly after announced the US tour.

Edited because Voodoo is right.

They didn't play in South America in 2002. In fact, they only played in Brasil, and it was in 2001.
