Taken from the lawsuit page...
I have a question: How is the lawsuit preventing the release of CD? People use the lawsuit excuse as a reason for no CD. But who is suing to stop CD from coming out?
Nobody, and I agree the suits have nothing to do with the delay.
Good day, 1st post ever, newbie bashers have a ball! ?
I have been a fan since 'Jungle' hit 'Empty-V' (of late that is), and have become a huge fan of Axl over the years. The frustration from 02 and the lack of album, prior or since, is something we all surely reel in. Axl's own issues are why this album has not surfaced, solely. I am reminded of Brian Wilson post Pet Sounds. Love and his bro's were critical over Pet, (The most renound album to date by many scholars) and brought down Smile, due mostly to Brian's insecurities. The similarities in reclusiveness, ability to write great stuff, behavioral patterns, etc, are uncanny to Wilson in 67. I am mortified that 'Madagascar' and 'The Blues' are NOT out there, and fear the same for Axl as Brian's fate. Yes, Smile did great, and the tour was a huge success. ( Attended Carnegie Hall10/13/04, 4 stars) The fact remains that if Smile had emmerged in 67, as scheduled, the impact would have been 10 fold what it is/was in 04. I think we, the die hards, will buy many copies. How will it affect the youth/ record buying public today? I love to think the classic sound will prevail, that the genius of these songs will ring true, but time will tell. THIS, my friends, is possibly what is holding up the release, for Axl must wonder too.
Velvets songs are barely ok, and they are doing well, this gives me hope because 'Chinese' has songs that
are actually great! Just let it go Axl, hope for the best, take the risk, this is getting rediculous!
Your fan,
Axlism
