Re: GNR Sued For Copying Songs
Why does one have nothing to do with the other? A law suit could require all kinds of negotiations and meetings before settlement, things that Axl might find easier in LA than Asia.
I look at it like this: The band doesn't *need* to tour, if they do it's because they *want* to play some shows.
The whole release of CD shows that they ignore what they "should" do or what bands conventionally do.
So if the band is playing these shows because they'd be fun to play and a bunch of legal and pressing bullshit comes up that requires decision making from Axl, I can see why he might postpone a tour to focus on that - especially if it was more of a working holiday type deal anyway.
Hopefully none of this happens. i'm just saying...it's basicly been Axl's band and him calling the shots for years now, so stuff that happens from a managment level - like getting sued - definately has potential to impact what goes down at gig time....I dont see them as seperate issues at all. Orginising this kind of behind the scenes shit is prob where axl is during the silent periods.

Re: GNR Sued For Copying Songs
Let the freaking out commence. I'll get it started.
Rehearsals are finished, tour is off, Ron is out of the band.

I'd just like to use the end of your post to correct the beginning. There is no "they."
I know, that's not adding much to the conversation, but its kind've a pet peeve of mine to pretend that Axl's gunsa are any more legitimate than Hillary Duff's touring band.

Ok, this is easily my favorite animated gif of all time. Thank you for that. Did you catch the Axl joke Colbert made on Tuesday?

Oh please. He has a legal team to deal with that, and they could even drag it out for years if they wanted to. You act like Axl's Matlock and he has to hover near a courtroom 24/7. Dude hasn't seen a court room in a coon's age, but apparently he's a disciple of Perry Mason.
Did VR cancel all their plans when they were getting sued years ago? Does anybody cancel everything due to legal bullshit?
The excuses that fans make for this band will never cease to amaze me. A butterfly just farted in the Andromeda Galaxy. Oh NOEZ!!!!!!!!!!111 Album number 2 has just been set back five years and there's no chance of a tour.
Fans give the band excuses before they themselves have to think of one.
If the band decides to take supreme idiocy to new heights, it will do so on its own merits and farting butterflies hovering through Andromeda are not to blame.
Now I think Faldor had a point about "freaking out".
