Blogger arrested over Guns N' Roses leak

Chinese Democracy in action
Thursday, 28 August 2008, 09:10

A BLOGGER who posted leaks of popular beat combo Guns N' Roses' forthcoming long playing recording, ironically titled Chinese Democracy, has been arrested

Guns N' Trousers were mightily miffed when the dulcet tones of its lead singer Axel Rose were heard coming from a bog owned by 27-year-old Kevin Cogill.

Inspector Knacker of the US Yard swooped and fingered the collar of Cogill, who later blogged that he needed a good lawyer.

According to an arrest affidavit, Cogill admitted to agents that he posted the songs on his website. Prosecutors claimed that the leak could result in a " significant" financial loss for Guns N' Trousers.

The band have not had an album for ten years and many music critics thinking the title Chinese Democracy is a statement about when it will see the light of day - a bit like saying "when hell freezes over".

For those who remember the stupidity of the band and the fact that its lead singer sounded like a tom cat who had his testicles shoved in a mangler, the question is whether distribution of such music should be made a capital crime. µ

Come on..

Nick, can you ever write an article that has any positive opinions about everything? This reads like one of your iphone articles, with the word iphone replaced with Guns n Roses. 

GNR were a good band back in their day, we'll need to wait n see whether this album is any good...

Opinionated Crap

Some of their stuff was good but Farrel obviously thought otherwise so felt it necessary to roll out yet more self opinionated dross.

yeah

Axl's a primadonna, with mangled tomcat balls. 
When you can play piano like Dizzy Reed, guitar like Gilby or Slash then you can criticise the band. Otherwise stick to what you know.

quality

The best part about Nicks articles are the reponses by losers who get all flustered and upset.

Without Izzy Stralin to write the songs,

it'll probably be crap.

Izzy Stradlin - Is He Stradling, where do they think up those names?

At one point in the 1980s they were probably the biggest rock band in the world. Appetite for Destruction still rocks, not many albums these days with more good tracks than bad.

All music should be available for download with a 1 week trial time, then u got to pay for it if you want to keep it.
