GnR:Beef between Slash and Axl 2006-03-08 by Damrod EMERITUS | 12 Comments | Last friday Axl Rose initiated a countercharge against Slash and Duff McKagan, former members of Guns n Roses. The members of Velvet Revolver sued Rose in 2005 because of fraud and violation of copyrights. According to them, Axl Rose transfered all rights for the Guns n Roses-catalogue of songs to his own company Black Frog Music to get all royalties for them.
A statement on the official GnR Website, posted by Axls lawyer claims it is a misunderstanding. It is nothing more than a mere typo in the corrosponding document, created by the ASCAP. Rose rather settled this argument outside of court, but he could no longer take the lies and half truth spreaded by "press-, photo- and mediaopportunist Slash".
Isn't it adorable? As good as any sopa opera =)

Right, a typo. Rose really must be getting desperate for money now.
| | | Again with the GnR hype and BS, let them get on with I say! I wish they would shut up and make great music like appetite for destruction
| | | Black Frog? that's one of the worst names for a company I have ever heard.
| | | Welcome to the GnR Jungle. Just die already crazy hair metal fools.
| | | Who...cares?
Few.

| | | guns n roses is too old...
they were good in the 80's
but hey... thats my opinion
| | | What GNR is now is what most any musician would call a solo career, like Ozzy, or David Lee Roth, but no.... Axl has to depend on the GNR name to carry his god-forsaken album. Axl was a good frontman, back when he had excellent musicians right next to him. Slash and Duff were really why people like GNR, at least in my opinion. Velvet Revolver is what kids of this musically deprived new-millenium have to listen to, and i think Axl is jealous out of his mind, i mean Contraband was the best selling rock album of '04... thatd be my words of wisdom
| | | why would anyone be jealous of Contraband? It was just a slightly above average album. It was the top-seller in rock in 2004 because look at the competition. Even if Contraband was a horrible album, it still woulda been the top seller because Slash and Duff have their names on it.
| | | i love GnR... Axl lost it a long time ago
| | | i agree, old skool gnr is my favorite an VR is sik too but this new lineup is nowere near as good.I've heard a few tracks off chinese democracy an sum of them are the weirdest crap ive ever heard.i dont think hes going anywhere with it, but id still buy it:-)
| | | gnr has definaltely gone to hell
