Question about Stevie's management

estranged4life · #1 08-19-2005, 12:52 AM

I was reading about how Def Leppard has changed management after all these years with Q-Prime and found the very last sentence of interest:

"Def Leppard have been with Peter Mensch and Cliff Bernstein at Q Prime Management most of their career to date, but are set to sign with Trudy Green at HK (Howard Kaufman) Management. Industry source Hits Online broke this news today.

Green has worked with such names as AEROSMITH, POISON, MICHAEL JACKSON and SLASH.

Additionally HK management is now part of Irving Azoff's Frontline Management. "

My question is when did HK Management become acquired by Irving Azoff's Frontline Management? How will this impact Stevie, If at all?

Sorry, have to completely disregard your post, and tell you that your tagline of Christopher Walken and the whole "cowbell" thing is fall off me effin' chair laughing. I LOVE that skit.
Beyond my adoration for Stevie, and my private fantasies for Gary Oldman.....
I've always wanted Christopher Walken for a dinner guest. Above all, "gee I wish I could meet so & so" I don't know what it is, or why (don't know all THAT much about Mr Walken) but just have to have him to the house for dinner once.
Totally priceless!!!!

Didn't she have a falling out with Azoff and Frontline when she was with them before?

Yes, they held her prisoner.

But after all those years, well as well as they knew her!

She should let Mick be her manager again. Hey, it worked wonders for her career before.

Isnt she now managed by that powerhouse Liz Rosenberg, who also does Madonna? and a bunch of other heavy weights?

Liz does her PR - which is different than managing her - though they work closely together.

Irving bought (well, merged more or less) Frontline about a year ago. I'm sure the Two Voices tour was made possible with Don and Stevie having the same management now.

Well hopefuly it leads to a bigger tour next year.

SteveMacD · #12 08-20-2005, 12:58 AM

Great. $250 for tickets for a high-end oldies tour. Why do I not see Lindsey getting behind this? Although, it would be fun seeing two groups of fans who've been quietly hating each other for 30 plus years trying to enjoy the same concert.

NO!! Mick can't even manage himself. Ok, I must've taken a loooong nap because I don't recall Mick ever being Stevie's manager unless you are referring to when he and John managed FM.

That's exactly what I was referring to. And, I was also kidding.
