SLASH And DUFF MCKAGAN Vs. AXL ROSE Trial Delayed Until May
- Feb. 10, 2006
|
|
According to Here Today... Gone To Hell!, the jury trial in connection with a 2004 lawsuit filed by former GUNS N' ROSES members Slash (guitar) and Duff McKagan (bass) against the band's lead singer, Axl Rose, claiming he ripped them off to the tune of at least a million dollars, has been postponed from March to May. The trial is now set to begin on May 16. The case is expected to last five-seven days and could possibly feature court appearances from all the parties in person. In the suit, Duff and Slash claim Rose doesn't have any controlling interest in the songs, but they say he killed deals that would have put their tunes in a half dozen movies, including "Just Married", "We Were Soldiers", "Death to Smoochie" and "Old School". In addition, Rose allegedly squashed a deal to allow the producers of the movie "Black Hawk Down" to use the band's huge hit, "Welcome to the Jungle" in the film. Instead, he wanted to re-record it, thereby allegedly cheating his ex-band mates out of the licensing fee. David Powell, who runs "The Music Bridge", a company that deals with music rights for movies, told Celebrity Justice in 2004: "Licensing is very important for any band or any artist that gets out there in popular culture. "There are many income streams that can be generated from the songs, as well as the master recordings, for years and sometimes generations to come."

...Just wow...I love GNR, but as someone mentioned earlier in another post, Rose was...despite popular belief...the smart one in the group when it came down to this stuff.
Similar to Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney, only GNR wasnt outbid...they were just outsmarted

With the exception of "black hawk down," those movies sucked.
even turk-182 was better than "death to smoochie"
if this dioes go to trial, i'd love to see it on court tv.
better yet, lets turn it into an episode of "law and order"

Like Slash and Duff really wrote shit in the band, if you look at the lyrics. Izzy Stradilin and Axl Rose wrote 90% of the lyrics.

How can you possibly justify that statement? He's nearly insignificant, for fuck's sake!! If/when Chinese Democracy comes out, he will become completely insignificant. Sad really...

if Axl is so insignificant . Why does any little appearance make big news . Why does every music fan know his name . Why does he have the most anticipated album of all time ? Why are we talking about Axl 20 years later if he didn't mean so much to music ? love him or hate him Axl has made a monumental impact on the world of music that very few will ever achieve

Said it best! lol.
The comments above refering to what Sharon conned Ozzy into doing with his first two solo albums is a prime example of what is wrong with the music business. & now we will have another one of these tales.
There are still bands who truley charish their gifts in life,
Anyone listen to the 2nd disc of the recent re-release of Armored Saint Symbol of Salvation?
They are mature, respectful & still know what is important.
I think every "Rockstar" needs to go back & work a day job again for at least a year, then maybe this shit will stop.

Axl rose has a great voice but he's an ass hole, he gave up one of the greatest line ups for a band. slash and duff have every right to sue axl's cheap self, i mean trying to re-record an album just to get more money. any ways re-recording the songs would sound like shit because people like bucket head don't make awesome hits like welcome to the jungle.
