GNR Feud |
After burning up charts and selling out stadiums around the world in the late '80s and early '90s, Guns N' Roses endured a bitter split, leaving only Rose and keyboard player Dizzy Reed to soldier on under the GNR banner. Former members Slash (Saul Hudson) and Duff (Michael) McKagan, now part of the band Velvet Revolver, filed a lawsuit against Rose last year over who controls the rights to the old GNR songs. The suit is still pending.
McKagan's lawyer, Glen Miskel, expressed
surprise when told of the Sanctuary deal. He said Rose, Slash and Duff
were part of a partnership and "neither Sanctuary nor Axl Rose have provided
the remaining partners with a copy of that agreement." He added Rose is
trying to transfer copyright interests in songs which "are not owned by
Mr. Rose." Guns N' Roses' manager Merck Mercuriadis, who just so happens
to be CEO of Sanctuary Group, said he didn't want to comment beyond the
announcement of the deal. [see full story for more]- Click

Slapp of the Day: Emo |
Right now a few of you are saying, "relax
Slapp, these kids are just playing the music they love and besides they
are better than Limp Bizkit". But I can't relax. I just heard some idiot
in an interview last week say that The Ramones were the first Emo group.
Excuse me? Playing four chords and creating some incredible melodies and
memorable songs out of them is not equal to playing the same four chords
and whining about not getting laid. You're nerds, you are not supposed
to get laid! I see an Emo video and I think I'm watching 'Revenge of the
Nerds' set to suck-O music. The Ramones could be campy as all hell but
they were campy on purpose, Emo dorks are just dorks. They can't help it
and they are upsetting the balance of nature. Cool kids and stoners turn
into rockers. The jocks, jock each other off and become used cars salesmen.
Drama dorks move to Frisco or New York to try to become theatre stars (Clay
Aiken notwithstanding). Nerds launch multimillion dollar enterprises. They
are not supposed to try to be rockstars. It's the tradeoff, cool kids (not
trendy kids, they go into pop or middle management nothingness) get laid
a lot and nerds get rich the old fashioned way and find a nerd to marry.
It would be one thing if these nerds made good music but they don't. The
crap they play has no business anywhere in the rock world. By giving these
nerds a stage we are undermining the grand scheme of things. The next thing
you know the nerd that was supposed to discover the cure for cancer instead
opted for a 15 minute TRL career and millions will die. While the rocker
that was supposed to sell millions and make little is forced to temp at
your credit card company and screws up your bill (unless of course your
credit card company moved their operations to India). Ok, I'll calm down
now. At least we can count on the jocks still being a**holes and the drama
queens still being pretentious. But this Emo stuff has to go before it
brings on Armageddon by continuing to rip a whole in the time/space/dork
continuum. So to all of the dorks that buy this crap, consider yourself
Slapped. And please stop. Really, the joke wasn't funny. Stop right now.
