Title: Re: Paradise City Removed From Classic Rock version of 'Slash' Post by: AxlReznor on March 19, 2010, 11:18:11 AM must be something to do with GNR camp? Not that anyone cares. Was my first thought, too. But it could just have easily been Geffen, or people representing Cypress Hill or Fergie.

Something is clearly blocking it though if it was removed for "Legal reasons" Title: Re: Paradise City Removed From Classic Rock version of 'Slash' Post by: suicide on March 19, 2010, 12:19:12 PM Don't matter, just watched the 12 minute video... this album will be fuckin' great!

Actually I believe everyone who owns copyrights to the song has to sign off on it.

Actually I believe everyone who owns copyrights to the song has to sign off on it. not the case for the greatist hits though. Dont think anyone wanted that to be released. :-\ Title: Re: Paradise City Removed From Classic Rock version of 'Slash' Post by: AxlReznor on March 19, 2010, 12:31:34 PM they can put paradise city on it. Slash has the rights 2 to that song. Actually I believe everyone who owns copyrights to the song has to sign off on it. not the case for the greatist hits though. Dont think anyone wanted that to be released. :-\ As I remember it, Geffen managed to release that, because a) they own the copyright to the recordings (there are two kinds of copyright... one for songs, one for recordings. Label always gets the copyright to the recordings, and in a lot of cases get the copyright to the songs, too... luckily, GN'R managed to retain the right to their songs). And b) because they were promised a Guns N' Roses album, and if they weren't going to get an album of new material, they were going to make sure they got one anyway. Title: Re: Paradise City Removed From Classic Rock version of 'Slash' Post by: remcognr on March 19, 2010, 01:53:25 PM Slash told me through his Twitter that it's only deleted from this Classic Rock pack, not from all other versions.
Title: Re: Paradise City Removed From Classic Rock version of 'Slash' Post by: AxlReznor on March 19, 2010, 02:00:37 PM Slash told me through his Twitter that it's only deleted from this Classic Rock pack, not from all other versions. That'd be because it wasn't on any of the other versions to begin with. ;) Title: Re: Paradise City Removed From Classic Rock version of 'Slash' Post by: remcognr on March 19, 2010, 02:15:34 PM And that doesn't seem to be entirely true. He said there will be several more versions (w/ exclusive grafis) of the CD including one planned for the end of the year with all 19 tracks on it & probably with a different cover layout.
Title: Re: Paradise City Removed From Classic Rock version of 'Slash' Post by: don_vercetti on March 19, 2010, 03:38:44 PM probably due to public demand as much as anything, much better to remove that waste of space and replace it with an original song. anyone desperate (mad) enough to want to hear it can easily get hold of it if they desire. good move classic rock.
Title: Re: Paradise City Removed From Classic Rock version of 'Slash' Post by: Bodhi on March 19, 2010, 04:18:04 PM im glad, the Paradise City cover was the only thing I didnt like so far on Slash's new album...this makes it better.
Title: Re: Paradise City Removed From Classic Rock version of 'Slash' Post by: IzzyDutch on March 21, 2010, 06:28:15 AM I had no problem with the song, it sounded interesting and different, not bad at all pretty funky.
But if it makes way to make room for Back From Cali, I say good cause the more originals the better. Title: Re: Paradise City Removed From Classic Rock version of 'Slash' Post by: FunkyMonkey on March 21, 2010, 10:24:56 AM I wonder after reading some of these comments if they just decided to drop it...
SLASH's Version Of 'Paradise City' Featuring FERGIE Gets Withdrawn - Mar. 19, 2010 Due to legal reasons, Slash's collaboration with BLACK EYED PEAS singer Fergie (a.k.a. Stacy Ann Ferguson) on a new recording of the GUNS N' ROSES classic "Paradise City" (hear audio below), also featuring CYPRESS HILL, has had to be withdrawn from the limited-edition deluxe version of Slash's upcoming self-titled solo debut. Fans should note that a brand new track, "Back From Cali" (featuring Myles Kennedy) has now been added and that the exclusive "Baby Can't Drive" (featuring Alice Cooper and Nicole Scherzinger) still remains. http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=137054 Title: Re: Paradise City Removed From Classic Rock version of 'Slash' Post by: jacdaniel on March 22, 2010, 04:59:42 AM Quote I wonder after reading some of these comments if they just decided to drop it... jesus, they're a bunch of asshole's that comment on that site, negative bout everything. One person even said his solo album sucks! its not even out yet. But yeah, maybe they did just drop it. it would be for the best Title: Re: Paradise City Removed From Classic Rock version of 'Slash' Post by: gcluskey on March 22, 2010, 05:20:54 PM Would've been good to hear it. I love that song and I love Cypress Hill too...would be interesting to hear Slash playing it differently...ah well...I'm sure it'll pop up somewhere and I'll be a downloading motherfucker!

I have actually grown to like this version.... Title: Re: Paradise City Removed From Classic Rock version of 'Slash' Post by: sleeper on March 22, 2010, 05:53:46 PM Hi to all this is my first post. But I have been reading for a year. :)
I think the reason why it had to be removed from the Classic Rock version is because PC is an iTunes exclusive. |
