it seems like it's up and down all the fucking time so who knows.. maybe it's just a teezer to prove that the site is still alive

Whilst cruising the official site of Mr Teddy ZigZag, I came across a peculiar site that he claimed was the Official Guns N' Roses website...

This may be of interest, or not...

http://www.gunsnrosesonline.com/

Absolutely no more updates at all, but it's certainly new.

Provider error '80004005'

Unspecified error

E:\INTERSCOPE\VIRTUALHOSTS\GNRONLINE.COM\WWW\NEWS\../../../public_scripts/tour/tour_index_reviews_scott.asp, line 5

Hrmm - it seems they have deleted tour info from the main index - perhaps someone is messing with the site as we speak.  Probably not - but something happened today. Most likely a corrupt database.....

This also happened:

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80004005'

[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.

E:\INTERSCOPE\VIRTUALHOSTS\GNRONLINE.COM\WWW\NEWS\../../../public_scripts/tour/tour_index_reviews_scott.asp, line 5

Problem with the E: drive? hehe

I found an identical one for Slash the other day:

http://www.gnronline.com/slash.htm

It's probably used for search engine purposes. And to advertise an album that came out years ago. With video clips that don't work.

How very G&R  

[darknemus]

Ok, this is gonna be a bit complicated, so bear with me.  I'll try to lay it out as succintly as possible.

As we all know, gnronline.com is the Interscope owned site for 'official' GNR information.  Its last actual update was on June 25, although it references the 3/9/03 date.  

geffen.com currently has Greatest Hits listed on their upcoming release section.  Curiously, its the only album listed there that you can't click on.  I noticed that all the other album links go straight to the bands home pages.

gunsnroses.com is a site owned by Axl - In fact, a LONG time ago, there was content there - but it disappeared rather quickly.  Right now, its just a site waiting for an IP address.  Now here's where things get interresting.  gunsnroses.com's WHOIS info was last updated in Late November.  Apparently, it was just the standard 2 year renewal.  But there's a big difference between the record as it appeared before and how it appears now.

Now, gunsnroses.com lists, as its "technical contact" field, ArtistDirect.com http://artistdirect.com - Now, from what I see, artist direct is an extension of the UBL (ultimate band list) and has direct links to audio streams and profiles on TONS of different bands.

Now, here's the theory part:

if Rio is happening, we wonder why the heck there's no update on gnronline.com about it, right?  Let's assume, for the moment, that GNR & Geffen are at odds.  If that's the case, then Geffen / Interscope isn't going to allow information about Rio (a concert they have no financial interest in) to appear on gnronline.com.

Now, if this 'falling out' happened back when GH was first announced (November of last year, I believe) then it would explain GNR. Doug Goldstein, & Burt Deixler (one of Axl's numerous attorneys) changing the technical contact info for gunsnroses.com - in order to protect the domain name from any possible problems arising from Interscope / Geffen.

So, in theory, it is entirely possible that gunsnroses.com will be the new 'home page' of GNR - especially if there has been some sort of falling out.  Like I said, 2 months ago, artist direct sure as hell wasn't the technical contact for the site.

(Oh, btw, I checked other Geffen bands - Puddle of Mudd, for instance - and they do not use ArtistDirect as their technical contact)

very interesting darknemus! u should work for the FBI dude, u are an awesome investigator!

[F*ck Fear]

NIce theory

[jarmo]

Are you sure Artistdirect wasn't listed before November? I remember seeing it there for quite some time....


Oh, and I don't think you need to come up with these kind of theories just to post you think gunsnroses.com might be their official site once the album is out.

It's been known for quite a while that Gnronline is the record company's site that was launched to promote Oh My God and Live Era.

I have not seen ArtistDirect listed there before, and the last time I checked would have been in September or October.  I am fully aware that gnronline is the record company's site, as stated up above.  Hell, you can still find live era content on the site due to sloppy management.

I've always thought gunsnroses.com would be the 'official' site - I just wonder if there's a reason that Geffen isn't linking to gnronline.com right now with the GH disc, among other things.

If you say you've seen AD listed there before, I believe you - but I'm serious, I haven't.

Interesting, but I doubt anything will happen, because nothing ever does...

BTW, nice title

If anyone wants to know, i'm the bitch who merged the threads.

Next time look when you start a thread Dark, thank you.

I'm pretty sure that BFD was the contact for gunsnroses.com (both contacts, actually) as recently as 2 or 3 months ago. (Edit: weeks, months...fat fingers..you get the picture)

Artist's Direct, as often as I've checked the site, has never been listed.


Edit: I guess not. Some old whois info posted around the board show that as far back as July it was Artist Direct...Whoops!

I stand corrected as well, I found ArtistDirect references back to Mid-May of 2K3.  With that being said, I still find the lack of a link from GH on geffen.com to GNR's website to be an intriguing thing.
