Is there anything he doesn't completely copy Slash on?
God I hope that's a joke. Every teenager who ever dreamed of being in a band drew their own logos/graphics/album artwork. If DJ is copying Slash, then Slash is just copying the guy before him who copied the guy before him.
Tongue-in-cheek or not, i'm tired of all the "Slash did this first." No, he didn't. Someone did it before him.

I am sure you are quite aware of this but they can't just drop an album on an indie label. I don't think Uni is just going to give Axl his left over Chinese tracks and let him walk to another label. From the chats after the release of Chinese.
"Universal has Guns under contract but I own the name."
No, I don't get into all the boring contractual bullshit. It wouldn't be a label. It would be just dumping it. They could burn their own CDs if they wanted.

Tis a joke at least on my part that started in the twitter thread. Anytime time you see the "in other news" because every time someone mentioned Dj here came a reason he copied slash to match the subject. May as well beat them and mention a similarity *shrug*

Yeah, it was tongue-in-cheek.
Tbh, I can see it from both sides.

If they end up being contractually prevented from ever properly releasing the material, they could just dump it all on the web, like Trent Reznor did with the Broken Movie DVD, the Closure double DVD, the 400 gig torrent of 3 full shows in multicam HD footage, etc. Or like Billy Corgan did with Machina II. Kind of a big "fuck you" to the label - if they won't put it out then just fucking give it away.

That's what I was getting at. Thanks for saying it better than I.

Yeah, I mean Axl would do well to follow Trent's example. Every time Reznor gives an album or DVD away on the web, he earns massive goodwill from both his fan base and the press. Axl should finish up whatever contractual obligation he has left with Universal, then just tell them to fuck off and go the independent route.
