no offense, but that is lame.
This is the third or fourth time he's posted this "story." The last version was his phone went off in class, Shackler's was his ringtone and, shockingly, everyone had the same exact reaction.

Maybe the "previous management" was sooooooooo fucking bad for "this band" that just the fact the "new management" brought the "band" some much needed credibility and a promise of change, or speaking out (which is actually the norm for nobel winners going back to President Woodrow Wilson), warrants a prize.

This is going to come down to Axl having to pay some guy for four seconds of sound. Plain and simple.
I was giving them the benefit of the doubt that it is easy to unintentionally copy "sound effects." But I looked over at HTGTH last night to see the reaction from that perspective and I was reading posts about how Axl can't be expected to check out everything on the album to make sure its not copying someone else... Are you fucking kidding me? Really?

I remember that through the entire 2006 tour Axl never even mentioned the album. There lies the problem.

I wonder when those Ulrich Schnauss youtube videos get taken down for copyright violation by uzisuicidal.

Despite the fact the film is disjointed with a ridiculous ending, I wouldn't call fisting and golden shower parties in S&M "meat market" clubs a real peep hole into gay culture.

Oh please. It was directly lifted from another track.
Are you Vanilla Ice?
Please what? The first part is a simple synth note. If that's ripping someone off someone needs to tip off Yanni about this prick ripping him off. The second is much closer and could be the same thing, but again, that's also a simple effect I've even heard in rides at Disney World. I still don't see the big deal.
If it is, just pay for the 4 second sample.
The Chili's blatantly ripped off Depeche Mode and Janes Addiction on Stadium Arcadium. The Stones wrote a song that sounded identical to KD Lang's Constant Craving and weren't aware of it, and instantly payed her when they realised it. This is nowhere close to those.
Word to your mother.

Man, I have always thought Scarface was overrated and just plain stupid. I seriously don't see the hype around it accept for wannabe gangsters.
Don't get me started on Cruising. Bleh... But Al was good in it.

I don't think he will blame any band members. Maybe a producer or 4 though. But that Brain theory bigbri could be right as well. Kinda good timing since they apparently are going to play on a stage for the third Chinese Democracy tour. For an album like this a mistake like ripping someone off is yet another nail in it's coffin. The media will have a field day with this one.
I have to disagree with you there. I don't see anyone besides probably blabbermouth caring.
