Its been one of my favourite tracks since I heard the album, that intro always seemed like it was tacked on at the last minute though. Kills the flow a bit, I'd prefer the Riad guitars to kick in straight after Scraped ends.
Sometimes I think, if I were Axl I wouldnt want to hear the words "Chinese Democracy" ever again in my life. Talk about a headache and a half 
The media is going to have a field day with this, implying that Axl Rose had to rip off other peoples music to make his album.

Can someone provide the minutes & seconds where the first song is copied?
I;m no fanboy, but I don't hear much flat out copying.
The first 20 seconds of that video.
They are the same as what fades in and out again during the Riad intro just before the guitar starts.
0.26- 0.41 in Riad.

Excellent!!
#2016 Re: Guns N' Roses » GNR Sued For Copying Songs » 891 weeks ago
I think the first couple of seconds of the first video are the exact same as a couple of seconds in Riad just before the guitar starts. The second video is clear as day.
I'd be looking in Pittmans direction over this rather than Axl.

They were posted here ages ago, there was a big thread at mygnr not long after the album came out because someone had noticed the intro to Riad was the same as the intro to a song.
I assumed it was a sample they both decided to use, rather than GNR sampling a Ulrich Schnauss creation. But when you hear the kind of music Ulrich Schnauss makes, its quite possible he came up with it himself.
Deeply embarressing though, the 15 year in the making album is going to be taking another kicking through the media for plagiarism

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Two independent record labels sued U.S. rock band Guns N' Roses for $1 million, claiming the group used portions of two songs by a German musician on their last album "Chinese Democracy."
Guns N' Roses and Universal Music Group's Interscope-Geffen A&M label were sued by British label Independiente and the U.S. arm of Domino Recording Company, who own the licensing rights to songs by German electronic musician Ulrich Schnauss.
Singer Axl Rose and Guns N' Roses band members and album producers copied portions of two of Schnauss' songs -- "Wherever You Are" and "A Strangely Isolated Place" -- for a song used on the band's last album called "Riad N' the Bedouins," according to the lawsuit.
The lawsuit, filed on Friday but made available on Monday, seeks $1 million in damages. A spokesperson for Interscope-Geffen A&M, owned by Vivendi's Universal Music Group, was not available for comment.
"Chinese Democracy," the band's first new album in 17 years that was released last November, resulted in disappointing sales.
Besides Rose, the only original member in the band, the other current and former band members named in the suit include guitarist Brian Carroll, better known as "Buckethead," bassist Tommy Stinson, and Robin Finck, who currently plays lead guitar with rock act Nine Inch Nails.

I have a strong sense of right and wrong, and not much rolls off my back. I had a freind growing up who's mum was blind and in a wheelchair, I heard a lot of sick jokes thrown at him and it wasnt pleasant, much less funny. I got in quite a few fights cause I couldnt see the funny side.
