Yep. It's just the record labels showing us that they STILL haven't learned their lesson. They've always treated the consumer as uneducated which is part of the reason why the consumer shoved it right up their ass as soon as they were given a chance.

Now the great and powerful Oz has come out from behind the curtain to lower CD prices to below $10! Unfortunately, Dorthy and the rest of the crew were yelling and complaining to Oz to do so 10 years ago and have long since eased on down the road listening to their illegal downloads. Oz has no audience to make his grand announcement to.

It really shows just how out of touch with reality this industry is.  They have failed every step of the way to keep up with this market, one that is in a constant state of change, and not just by the normal forces that they evaluate, but the entire structure keeps changing. 

They're the lone tower trying to stand in the desert while all the sand around them is constantly shifting and changing.

I'm sorry, but if, for argument's sake, Slash pulls out Estranged- I don't want to hear anyone but Axl sing that.

Well then you're in luck. Slash owns no publishing rights to that song, and isn't even credited as a writer.

No I'm not in luck.  No one can stop Slash from pulling the song out live.  That's how cover bands exist.  He can play whatever song he wants live.  But if he attempts to record it then he has to go through all the legalities.

I really don't think it  had anything to do with Axl, I think Slash just realized that the version sucked.

I hope it was Axl.  For the simple fact that this one Slash deserved 100%. 

I also hope that whatever songs Slash decides to roll out during concert from either of the Illusions Axl also pulls out and blows Slash's version out of the fucking water.  I'm sorry, but if, for argument's sake, Slash pulls out Estranged- I don't want to hear anyone but Axl sing that.  Myles Kennedy is a great singer, but his voice is way too clean and neat to pull of something like that.

And like Buzzsaw said, Jesus couldn't do that song justice. 

I'm really quite angry at Slash for this version of PC.  It was unnecessary and a pile of horse shit.

Axl may have re-recorded it also, but at least he had the decency to not include a rap group and Fergie and also to not release it.  19

The song sucked but if Axl had anything to do with it being removed it's a douchebag move even though the album will be better off without it.

Okay, not there are times where I might agree with this sentiment, but here I do not agree with it whatsoever.

That cover is done by a former GNR bandmate, and on top of that he fucking rapes the hell out of the song.  If Axl had anything to do with it, major kudos to him. 

I was wondering earlier today if Axl had heard this new version of PC.  And then I thought, "well, guess we can kiss a GNR reunion goodbye now."  16
