Title: Writing Credits Court Case Post by: 2NaFish on December 19, 2004, 12:17:03 PM I've looked through the first few pages of dead horse and was surprised not to see this question in there, so i'll ask it here.
Does anyone have a link that gives the figures revealed in the late 90's court cases that give the writing credits for gn'r's songs? It was based on a system devised by slash and ended up with axl writing about 35% of the material. Google didn't do me any good so you fuckers are my last chance. Cheers.

Quote After a 17.5 percent commission to management, Axl and his band mates divvied up the money according to a specific formula, which Axl described once in court. During pre-production for Appetite, Axl said, "Slash devised a system of figuring out who wrote what parts of a song or part of a song. There were four categories, I believe. There was lyrics, melody, music - meaning guitars, bass and rums - and accompaniment and arrangement. And we split each one of those into twenty-five percent. When we had finished, I had forty-one percent, and other people had different amounts." http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/articles/showarticle.php?articleid=32 Title: Re: Writing Credits Court Case Post by: 2NaFish on December 19, 2004, 12:28:06 PM Perfect, thanks alot dood.
Title: Re: Writing Credits Court Case Post by: Izzy on December 19, 2004, 02:33:03 PM 17.5% to management? Fuck's sake, those bastards better have done a damn good job - 17.5% of Appettite alone's revenues (after record company theft) would be a considerable amount.
