BREAKING NEWS: Axl Rose still not finished with "Chinese Democracy."
Can't wait for the "new" Guns 'n' Roses album "Chinese Democracy?" Here's a Web Site that is tracking its progress...or lack of it:

Here Today... Gone To Hell! Guns 'N' Roses' Chinese Democracy

Axl Rose Sued by Former Bandmates

LOS ANGELES - Two former members of the rock band Guns N' Roses have sued frontman Axl Rose for allegedly naming himself sole administrator of the group's copyrights.

The suit was filed Aug. 17 in federal court by Slash and Duff, otherwise known as Saul Hudson and Michael McKagan. It accuses Rose of profiting from their revenue shares to the tune of about $500,000 a year. The suit claims Rose directed the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers to send all publishing royalties to his publishing company, bypassing the band's other partners.

Rose is "suffering an apparent attack of arrogance and ego. He is no longer willing to acknowledge the contributions of his former partners and bandmates in having created some of rock's greatest hits," the suit said.

Rose is the only member of the band who retains the right to perform under the Guns N' Roses name. Hudson and McKagan are now part of the rock band Velvet Revolver.

1. Wow...
"suffering an apparent attack of arrogance and ego."

I guess appearing as a radio DJ in GTA: San Andreas had an affect on him.

2. Wow, is Axl SORRY or what!
I thought that POS was supposed to come out in 1997!

Didn't they do a bunch of tracks with Brian May playing on them?! And that was, I think, 1998!

JUST GIVE UP AXL!!!!!!!!
