do you think axl will change the albums title ?

No, everyone will just think they stole the name from Axl anyway (which they did)

No, everyone will just think they stole the name from Axl anyway (which they did)

but released it first

[Bandita]

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. 

[Verse Chorus Verse]

They're attention whores that'll burn out sooner or later, anyway.

[Bumblefeet]

its like the offspring thing all over agin!

[blaqktiger]

To me it just proves they are un original and can't think of there own name 

[GhettoBlaster]

i can't imagine kitty & the kowalskis ever getting big enough to be much more than a footnote on wikipedia's GnR entry.

Oh my gosh - a punk album sells out on a punk website.

That will surely guarantee national sales.

im thinkin maybe axl will rename the album anyway

what a turn around that will be 

[Chuzeville]

Yea, he should call it Intention 2000. 

[Lucky]

here's the album cover


 

[CheapJon]

here's the album cover


 

Noo they have prolly stolen the idea of the cover art 2 

[greendog]

to my knowlege the only way they could keep the name Chinese Democracy and even have a chance to stop Axl from using it is if they make it big (like mainstream big) and keep it long enough without complaints. (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.

the customer reviews on this link are really entertaining, theres a little kitty vs axl debate goin on lol

My new band is called LA Guns. The LA stands for Louisiana. 

[Led Roses 06]

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.

He didn't stop them - Offspring later admitted in an interview that they weren't serious about using the album title.
