bit of news....

oops, I suck at up to date news.

[QUOTE=Spat Out Plath]No, you're up to date. But the website hasn't been updated since at least October- I'm just wondering why none of the news sites picked it up until now.[/QUOTE]I'd say because of the whole re-appearance of Axl thing over the last month, some people might actually care about that sort of news at the moment.

According to the Sterling Sound web site, one of George Marino's current projects is GN'R. The following is listed under his current projects:
Artist Title Label Genre Country Date
GUNS' N ROSES UNRELEASED ALBUM UNIVERSAL HEAVY METAL USA 2005-11-17

To see the listing, you need to navigate to the listing of his titles (Sound Enginers -> George Marino -> Titles -> Current Projects).

Update: According to GN'R's management, this is NOT "Chinese Democracy" like it's been reported on other web sites.

Stupid megaupload ads. Thanks for that video though.

Here's a little update from Kevin Lawrence on the Rapidfire demos, featuring Axl, that were originally planned for release in 2005:
The tracks are still being mixed in Los Angeles and the CD covers are being designed.

Apparently Axl wants to stop the release.

According to Kevin, Axl's voice sounds a bit "more Rob Halford" compared to his voice Appetite For Destruction.

A little Matt Sorum mention in this article about The Cult:

---

Duffy, meanwhile, has stayed busy with a number of projects, including Circus Diablo, a group he co-founded with Morrison and guitarist Ricky Warwick. The trio has recruited Sorum--whose main gig now is manning the kit for Velvet Revolver--to play drums on a 6-track EP due out this summer, according to the band's website.

No word yet on who will handle the drums and bass on The Cult's upcoming trek.

[QUOTE=blue3]Duff and Axl's birthdays are soon. I'm probably the only one who cares, haha.[/QUOTE]

Well, you know now, so I'm not the only one.

And Overdrive, how exactly did you celebrate their birthdays?

[QUOTE=blue3]Well, you know now, so I'm not the only one.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=blue3]And Overdrive, how exactly did you celebrate their birthdays?[/QUOTE]Maybe he has created a special dance in their honour.

wow, I'm not really sure what to think of that.

I would have thought March would be too soon for a release though, it doesn;t leave much time to market the thing.

I doubt it.

Anyone know where it's possible to download the clip of 'better'?

[url]http://gnrsucks.com/2ti/viewtopic.php?t=861[/url]

I got the link from the other thread..

Yeah, I got it after that thread was made :D Too hard to judge really on such a small clip, but it sounds cool.

Does that Nova Festival not look really un-realistic? I mean come on Metallica, Guns N' Roses, Tool and Alice in Chains at one festival...(one which I have never heard of).

And there's no conformation on the Rock in Rio website.

Does anyone listen to the Talking Metal Podcast? Its awsome, they are talking about chinese democracy, anyways does anyone know anything about chinese deomcracy.

I just went back and listened to Use Your Illusion I & II. Man, there are some seriously great songs on those albums.

Well, it's supposedly coming out this year. There's been 3 recent leaks off the new cd, although they may be demos. gnrsucks.com has them, you just have to register to enter into their forums.

Anyone know if there is a full version of sweet child with these great vocals:
[url]http://www.newgnr.com/dloads/audio/Axl-sweetchildnew-newgnrdotcom.mp3[/url]

Or if only that clip is avaliable?

That's the first time I heard that version.. it's not bad.

I can't bring myself to download those leaks =/

*cries*

heh, You know your going to download them, so just do it and save yourself the torment.

/Applies Peer Pressure

Personally I have mixed oppinions on the leaked songs. I am deadly impressed with [I]Better[/I] and [I]There Was a Time[/I], but IRS and Catcher in the Rye havn't really had the same impact. I only listened to the latter once before deleting it, that way I don't feel as cheap.

The following press release, which was sent earlier, is the official response from W. Axl Rose in regards to the lawsuits filed by Saul "Slash" Hudson and Michael "Duff" McKagan. A version of this release was also sent out over the Business Wire through the Entertainment Wire National with Trades, but was edited and did not contain all of the information intended. The attached release is the version that should be used in all reporting of Mr. Rose's reply to the lawsuits and all inquiries about this discrepancy should be directed to Mr. Howard Weitzman, Esq.
---

W. Axl Rose, on Friday March 3, 2006 responded to one of Saul "Slash" Hudson's baseless lawsuits by filing a counterclaim asking the Federal Court to confirm his ownership of his own creative works. Slash and Michael “Duff” McKagan had previously filed cases both in Federal Court and in the Los Angeles Superior Court making numerous false allegations about Axl. Mr. Rose believes that once apprised of the true facts the Judge or Jury deciding these lawsuits will rule in Axl’s favor on every issue before them.

More surprising to Axl are recent media reports that Slash (Saul Hudson) is claiming that he has always been supportive of Axl Rose and the new Guns N' Roses. Slash's actions in recent years have in fact been anything but supportive. Besides the lawsuits filed against Axl Rose, claiming, among other things, that Axl does not own the copyright in the songs that Axl co-authored with his former Guns N' Roses band mates, Slash has continually made negative and malicious statements about Axl in order to garner publicity for himself.

As an example the Federal lawsuit Hudson and McKagan filed was based on a faulty premise from the start. What Hudson and McKagan attempted to portray as egregious misconduct by Axl was in fact -- as Slash and Duff have learned -- nothing more than a clerical error committed by ASCAP. Had Slash and Duff or their representatives bothered to pick up the phone the clerical error could have been easily sorted out without the need for filing an utterly baseless lawsuit which one can only assume had been filed for the purposes of self-publicity at Axl’s expense.

The lawsuit also attacks Axl’s integrity as Slash and Duff, in a vindictive attempt to aggrandize their own stature, re-write history through false statements, which have been repeated by the media. Their attacks on Axl stand in sharp contrast to Rose’s conduct. Axl has at all times worked diligently to maintain the artistic integrity of the band by choosing with great care which properties to license Guns N’ Roses songs to and refusing to participate in what he believed were potentially embarrassing projects. He has fought to avoid the release of material that does not live up to the highest of standards demanded by the band’s history and it’s followers. Axl chose not to respond through the media while taking the high road in the face of Slash and Duff’s attacks. Hudson and McKagan, by contrast, have told ever changing - and false - stories regarding the formation of the band and it’s history and believe that the band’s catalogue should be exploited without careful consideration - for the Guns N’ Roses brand and their loyal audience - or Axl’s input as if it were fast food by anyone willing to pay for it.

For over 10 years Slash, a consummate press, photo and media opportunist and manipulator, has attacked Axl Rose on a number of levels. Slash’s actions whether in or out of Gun's N' Roses have been a complete betrayal across the board of his alleged friendship and business relationship with Axl and the so called brotherhood and band loyalties that are supposed to have existed. Instead Slash has publicly attempted, by soliciting public and media support, to take credit for something that was not his or anyone else's to take, notwithstanding that Slash played a major part in the success of the band as Axl has continually acknowledged.

In October of 2005 Slash made an unannounced 5:30 AM visit to Axl Rose’s house. Not appearing to be under the influence, Slash came to inform Axl that: “Duff was spineless,” “Scott was a fraud,” that he “hates Matt Sorum” and that in this ongoing war, contest or whatever anyone wants to call it that Slash has waged against Axl for the better part of 20 years, that Axl has proven himself “the stronger.” Based on his conduct in showing up at Rose's home, Axl was hopeful that Slash would live up to his pronouncements that he wanted to end the war and move on with life. Unfortunately that did not prove to be the case.

Mr. Rose's attorney Howard Weitzman commented, "Axl regrets having to spend time and energy on these distractions but he has a responsibility to protect the Guns N’ Roses legacy and expose the truth. Axl believes he has been left with no alternative but to respond to these lawsuits. It would have been Axl’s preference to resolve disputes with Slash and Duff in private. The courthouse is not his choice of forum. However, Axl could no longer sit quietly and allow the continuing dissemination of

Just last month, while speaking to a British radio station, Velvet Revolver guitarist Slash proclaimed that former bandmate Axl Rose's long-awaited, fabled magnum opus Chinese Democracy would finally surface in March. Slash added that he's "always been supportive" of Axl's work with the refurbished GN'R, and that he was glad the world would soon experience Democracy.

But things actually aren't chummy between Rose and his erstwhile GN'R comrades. They haven't been in more than a decade — not since the original members of Guns N' Roses parted ways. A statement released Monday (March 6) by Rose's management, the Sanctuary Group, called Slash's remarks "surprising" and dubbed him "a consummate press, photo and media opportunist and manipulator" who "has attacked Axl Rose on a number of levels."

On Friday Rose filed suit against Saul "Slash" Hudson, seeking a federal judge's confirmation of "his ownership of his own creative works." The filing comes in response to a federal suit filed in August by Slash and bassist Duff McKagan, who accused the GN'R frontman of changing the publisher of the group's copyrighted songs without first conferring with them and then pocketing the royalties. That suit claimed "Rose's actions were malicious, fraudulent and oppressive, and undertaken in conscious disregard of [Slash and Duff's] property rights."

There's no word on what financial damages, if any, last week's filing will seek.

The statement issued in the wake of the suit blasts Axl's former allies, claiming "Slash has continually made negative and malicious statements about Axl [in the press] in order to garner publicity for himself" and that both musicians have made "numerous false allegations about Axl ... [and that] Mr. Rose believes that once apprised of the true facts, the judge or jury deciding these lawsuits will rule in Axl's favor on every issue before them."

The most recent suit filed against Axl, according to the statement, "attacks [his] integrity as Slash and Duff, in a vindictive attempt to aggrandize their own stature, rewrite history through false statements, which have been repeated by the media. Their attacks on Axl stand in sharp contrast to Rose's conduct. Axl has at all times worked diligently to maintain the artistic integrity of the band by choosing with great care which properties to license Guns N' Roses songs to."

Moreover, the statement claims Slash showed up uninvited at Axl's door early one morning in October to offer a truce. "Slash came to inform Axl that: 'Duff was spineless,' '[Velvet Revolver frontman] Scott [Weiland] was a fraud,' that he 'hates [Revolver drummer] Matt Sorum' and that in this ongoing war, contest or whatever anyone wants to call it that Slash has waged against Axl for the better part of 20 years, that Axl has proven himself 'the stronger.' "

"Axl regrets having to spend time and energy on these distractions, but he has a responsibility to protect the Guns N' Roses legacy and expose the truth," Howard Weitzman, Axl's attorney, said in the statement. "Axl believes he has been left with no alternative but to respond to these lawsuits. It would have been Axl's preference to resolve disputes with Slash and Duff in private. The courthouse is not his choice of forum. However, Axl could no longer sit quietly and allow the continuing dissemination of falsehoods and half-truths by his former bandmates."

Responding to a press release recently issued by Axl Rose's attorney in which Axl made several accusations and characterizations of ex-Guns N' Roses members, Velvet Revolver frontman Scott Weiland has apparently decided to get into the public brawl that extends from the court where Axl and Slash are fighting over the Guns N' Roses legacy, and it seems, has issued this open letter at velvet-revolver.com, according to KNAC.com:


"Get in the rinGo to the gym motherf--ker, or if you prefer, get a new wig motherf--ker. I think I’ll resist the urge to “stoop” to your level.

Oh ****, here it comes, you fat, botox faced, wig wearin’ f--k! O.K. I feel better now. Don’t think for a second we don’t know where those words came from. Your unoriginal, uncreative little mind, the same mind that had to rely on its bandmates to write melodies and lyrics. Who’s the fraud now bitch?

Damn, I couldn’t imagine people writing for me. How many albums have you put out man and how long did it take the current configuration of this so-called “band” to make this album? How long? And without the only guys that validated the name. How dare you! Shame on you! How dare you call our bass player “spineless”.

We toured our album over a year and a half. How many shows have you played over the last ten years? Oh, that’s right - you bailed out on your long awaited comeback tour, leaving your remaining fans feeling shall we say a trifle miffed?! I won’t even list what I’ve accomplished because I don’t need to.

What we’re talking about here is a frightened little man who once thought he was king, but unfortunately this king without his court is nothing but a memory of the asshole he once was.

Yours truly,

Scott Weiland"

I read that before. It's lame. Duff's not spineless! :angry:.. haha.

Is all that from sleazeroxx? That place is the best for news like that.

I saw it on the MTV site actually.

Where did you guys get Catcher in the Rye? It wasn't on Bit Torrent.

I'll send it to you when I get time, If you dont have it in a few days then let me know.

Could you send it to me too?

No problem, I'm on it tonight.
