New Model Army - Green And Grey

Pressure on Geffen executives increased. Universal Music Group chairman Edgar Bronfman called the label’s management every week and got angry more as the label still had no release date for the album they had already invested millions in. Doug Goldstein suggested releasing Guns N 'Roses live album to relieve some of Axl’s pressure. A lot of energy went into the analysis of old concert recordings until the club performances of 1986 in London. But they were not enough to save more than a hundred employees of Geffen. In January 1999, when Universal ceded Geffen Records to Interscope Records, Geffen employees were fired. Now getting a record from Guns has become a problem for Jimmy Iowin, president of Interscope. It was said that Axl Rose was upset about the dismissal of people with whom she had been working for more than ten years,and in tacit protest boycotted the studio. The deadline for the release of Chinese Democracy in March 1999 passed unnoticed.
