Title: GNR songs in Old School and Black Hawk Down?? Post by: The Dog on March 16, 2006, 12:30:25 PM Another article on "the feud" but mentions some movies that Axl turned down to have guns songs in them....Black Hawk would have been even more unreal with GNR in it!!
Guns N? Roses, Velvet Revolver Feud Staff and agencies 16 March, 2006 By JANET MORRISSEY, For The Associated Press 5 minutes ago NEW YORK - Their songs should be so passionate. The frontmen for intertwined rock bands Guns N? Roses and Velvet Revolver ? both struggling to complete albums for release later this year ? have spent the past week or so spewing venom back and forth. Which can?t be bad for business. The feud began when top Gunner Axl Rose launched a countersuit against his former GNR bandmates Saul "Slash" Hudson and Michael "Duff" McKagan, who left GNR in the 1990s and have since formed Velvet Revolver. The two had filed suits in 2004 and 2005 seeking the rights to the old GNR songs, accusing Rose of killing deals that would have put their songs in a half-dozen movies, including "Old School," and "Black Hawk Down." But Rose didn?t leave it there. But it was a bizarre addendum to the statement, totally unrelated to the suit, that drew the wrath of Velvet Revolver lead singer Scott Weiland . Rose recalled a day last October where Slash, whom he hadn?t spoken to in almost a decade, showed up unannounced at his door at 5:30 one morning. Rose claimed that during their conversation Slash tore into his VR bandmates, calling Duff "spineless" and Weiland "a fraud," among other things. Despite Slash?s hard-partying reputation, Rose insisted his former bandmate did not appear under the influence when he allegedly made these comments during this pre-dawn meeting. Following the statement, the normally media-friendly Slash was uncharacteristically silent, making no comment on Rose?s statement. The deafening silence appeared to validate Rose?s comments about the meeting and further fueled talk of a pending Velvet Revolver breakup. "What we?re talking about here," Weiland said, "is a frightened little man who once thought he was king, but unfortunately this king without his court is nothing but a memory."
