>> BackGuns N' Roses news:

There are some GN'R mentions in an article about the band Cheerleader in the Toronto Sun:

Here are some parts:

Lemmy from Motorhead loved the Cheerleader gig he caught while in town last year so much that he ushered the boys down to Los Angeles for a pair of shows and pronounced them "the greatest rock 'n' roll band since Guns 'n' Roses."

-----

Cheerleader's faux-pas is, perhaps, its unabashed populism. Untroubled by indie-rock's defeatist notions of credibility, the band's fuzzed-out, don't-give-a-f--- punk/metal attack flaunts its love of '80s-metal warriors like Guns 'n' Roses ("Slash and Duff and Izzy made us want to pick up guitars," says Cobra) and Motley Crüe as proudly as it does the requisite Stooges and Ramones influence.

-----

"It's a fresh take on dirty rock. We don't sound like the bands we're influenced by at all. You can't say we ripped this riff off from GNR. It's original ... If anything, when we say we're influenced by the '80s-rock sound, it's because we're trying to bring back the feeling of '80s rock. When I was in Grade 6 and I loved Guns 'n' Roses, it made me feel powerful, just listening to them. I felt dirty listening to `It's So Easy,' you know? I wanna bring back that feeling for people."
