Sues Axl |
Slash and Duff McKagan filed a federal lawsuit in Los Angeles on Wednesday (August 17th) against Axl Rose, accusing the GN'R frontman of changing the publisher of the group's copyrighted songs without their consent and pocketing the royalties.
The lawsuit follows Rose's multimillion-dollar publishing deal with Sanctuary earlier this year, in which he sold the publishing rights to the GN'R back catalog.[see full story for more]- Click Here for the Full Story

Sinn Speaks Out |
antiMusic: I guess, first things first. What happened to The Distillers and is it official that they are no more?
Ryan: I have no idea....Andy quit in January, that sort of started it all, I guess. There were a few months of not knowing what the hell was going on. I had joined another band with some very big musicians, and quit that because Brody said she wanted to put The Distillers back together and look for a new drummer. I got f***ed on that one ....I got a letter from the band's lawyer stating that Brody has left the band and the band is deemed to have broken up. Although now I hear the band's still together, the band's management won't say either way, and no-one's returning my calls. I also read in NME that I've quit the band. Hell, maybe it's just a way to phase me out..
antiMusic: What were the factors leading to the breakup?
Ryan: Again, I have no idea. I guess other people's ulterior motives. I had absolutely nothing to do with the end of The Distillers. I got a phone call saying Andy quit, then another saying the band was over...then over about 5 months calls saying the band was on again off again. I wanted to keep going. If Andy didn't want to do it anymore, then we can find another drummer. I have nothing against anyone from the band, but I don't think everyone needs to stop what they love because of one person, unless I was the only one who loved it. I know Brody cannot not make music, so I figured once things settled we'd move on. Maybe that's what they're doing now....
antiMusic: Tell us about your new project The Dead Life. Who is in the band, direction of the material and what is your involvement?
Ryan: The Dead Life pretty much started when I was in high school, although that name was just thought of a few months back...it's a lot of stuff that I've been carrying in my head for years. Musically it's hard to describe right now, as I've yet to record the vocals, and I change and adjust things daily. I always hear f***ing organ music, in everything, I think - wait, this melody would sound perfect with an organ right here...and as it is right now none of the songs have any organs...well yet anyway.
I'm doing all the recording myself. I don't
want to bring anyone in on a promise that something may happen. I'll wait
until I have a budget of sorts and label support. Once it comes time to
actually record the album, I'll bring in other people. There's definitely
people I want to work with on this, but I'll wait until things are further
along before I say anymore about who may be involved.
