GNR C&D
Is it possible to own rights to music that hasn't been made? Axl Rose thinks so.
In homage to (and, if it needs to be said, parody of) the no-longer-eagerly-anticipated Guns N' Roses album Chinese Democracy, Colin Helb and Cornslaw Industries commissioned Chinese Democracy: A Tribute to an Unheard Album. Cornslaw asked artists to create songs based on the rumored song titles on the unseen GNR album and Chinese Democracy: A Tribute, a web-only album composed of original songs, is the result.
It appears that Mr. Rose is spending more time in his lawyer's office than in the studio: Cornslaw Industries has received a Cease & Desist letter (and a cease and desist MySpace message!) from Axl's attorneys.
A friend is worried that she is the only person who cares about Chinese Democracy. She shouldn't be concerned; Axl Rose also cares. Just not enough to release an album.
(Thanks, Colin.)

Man, when that album comes out and it's a masterpiece you'll all be sorry.

Rock is dead, and Axl is ancient history. Kids today don't even KNOW what G&R were. The audience for rock has turned into Wiggers with crewcuts after being brainwashed by MTV pushing nigger rap videos for the past 10 years.

Susan: How could you be so ignorant? There are at least as many white people responsible for the horrible crap they play on MTV.

iandavid: Yeah, those "white people" responsible for the garbage are the jews running Viacom/MTV Networks.

from Guns N Roses - Use Your Illusion II:
My World
You want to step into my world
It's a sociopsychotic state of bliss
You've been delayed in the real world
How many times have you hit and missed?
You cat-scan shows disfiguration
I wanna laugh myself to death
With a misfired synapse
with a bent configuration
I'll hold the line while you gasp for breath
Looks like Axl was first on the wigger bandwagon LOLs! Obviously the mulatto Slash is to blame
