No, everyone will just think they stole the name from Axl anyway (which they did) Title: Re: CD associated with someone else Post by: gin hotel on August 02, 2006, 12:25:55 PM do you think axl will change the albums title ? No, everyone will just think they stole the name from Axl anyway (which they did) but released it first Title: Re: CD associated with someone else Post by: Bandita on August 02, 2006, 12:34:30 PM do you think axl will change the albums title ? No, everyone will just think they stole the name from Axl anyway (which they did) I read about this somewhere, I think it was on Wikipedia, that a bunch of bands were naming their albums CD as some sort of joke to the fact that Axl hasn't released this album yet.

(im not sure on the timescale) but this happened with Nirvana, a band tried to claim Nirvana was their name and they couldnt do jack about it because they had been mainstream for (say) 2 years, and they didnt say anything about it before.

Title: Re: CD associated with someone else Post by: Led Roses 06 on August 02, 2006, 03:46:48 PM That is the most pathetic attempt at designing a cover I have ever seen. It looks like something a tenth grader from 1969 drew in art class.

Sure - but GNR's lawyers would probably throw a shitfit saying that the release would hurt Guns N' Roses album sales. But since it's Kitty and the Kowalskis and not a mainstream band like Offspring, they probably wouldn't care. Again, you can't copyright or trademark a song title or album title. You can copyright the composition of music and lyrics, but not the title. Title: Re: CD associated with someone else Post by: gin hotel on August 02, 2006, 04:10:59 PM paradise kitty :hihi:
