AC/DC PROMOTERS FINED OVER AXL ROSE FRONTED SHOW

Martin Kielty of Ultimate Classic Rock reports:

Spanish authorities have fined AC/DC promoters Live Nation for refusing to issue ticket refunds to fans who didn’t want to see Axl Rose fronting the band.Furthermore, they’re urging those who remain unhappy to take action, saying they have five years from the date of the show to reclaim their cash.

Last year, AC/DC singer Brian Johnson was ordered to quit performing with immediate effect or risk permanent hearing loss. The band hired Guns N’ Roses leader Rose to take his place, in a move that was widely criticized at first, but was later met with general approval.

After the lineup change, Live Nation assured fans in Spain that anyone who no longer wanted to attend the previously announced show in Seville on May 10th would be granted a refund. But, the company stopped accepting applications three days later as a result of high demands – a move that Seville city authorities have branded it a “breach of commitment.” As a result, Live Nation has been fined €15,000 and narrowly escaped being charged €30,000.

“After the complaint of Consumers in Action, the promoter has been fined for refusing to return money to numerous users who claimed it after the replacement of Brian Johnson with Axl Rose,” Spanish consumers’ group FACUA said. “FACUA warned that the replacement meant a substantial change in the conditions of the concert, and was a justified cause for claiming a refund. Live Nation assured they would ‘return money to those who asked for it’ without setting a deadline.”

Live Nation told some claimants who applied, “We regret to inform you that we have stopped serving requests for reimbursement.” However, FACUA said that other fans were simply ignored, even if they’d made contact before the cutoff date.

The action group added that Rose’s broken foot – which forced him to perform while sitting on a stage throne – “altered the characteristics of the show” and was “an added motive to complain.”

“Affected users can still claim their money back,” FACUA noted. “They only have to file a claim in court. There is no need for an attorney. The civil code establishes a period of five years to submit claims of breach of contract.”

The future of AC/DC remains in doubt after the band completed its world tour in support of 2014’s Rock or Bust. Last year, guitarist Angus Young said he felt “obligated” to keep the band going.

RICHIE KOTZEN RELEASES VIDEO FOR “END OF EARTH”, ANNOUNCES TOUR DATES

Richie Kotzen has released a video for the song, End Of Earth, his upcoming album, Salting Earth, which will be released on April 21st on Kotzen’s own Headroom-Inc label. Watch it below.

The album will feature the tune Grammy, which can be heard here. Kotzen describes the record as “one-man production” with added background vocals on the song, Make It Easy, provided by Julia Lage.

Kotzen said, “It’s really not deliberate when the record is finished and suddenly I’m the only performer on it. It actually comes out of my process of writing and documenting my ideas.

It started back in the late 80s when I had a makeshift studio in my parents’ barn. I grew up fairly isolated, and I soon realised in order to get this music out of my head and on to a format where I could listen to it, I’d have to figure out how to do it alone.”

Kotzen will head out on tour from April in support of Salting Earth and will play shows in the US, South America and Europe.

1. End Of Earth
