That's what most people thought, and then the multitrack was heard.

Oh thats really cool. I think Prostitute is about Slash? I wonder exactly how it connects with 'without you' ?

[jekylhyde]

That post about Susan's book show is cool. She seems like a likable person and it's cool that she appreciates and cares for Gn'R-fans.

And I don't exactly know why I care about what strangers do, but it's also cool to see that so many members of the "Gn'R family" were there. I guess they really are all friends, more or less. It's nice.

So now Del shares “illegal” Guns N’ Roses footage. I wonder if our little friend is going to take this one down too...

Axl nails just about all the covers he has ever been involved in. Such a versatile voice that he can put his own spin on a song and take it to another level.

Isn't that on a Rolling Stones DVD? Or was it just broadcast?

System Of A Down has a song that goes: the most loneliest day of my life, but in the chorus that fits better than ''most lonely'' or just ''loneliest'', so they went with the incorrect grammar, but it's no big deal. Lyrics and poetry are often not correct.

Most lyrics by Duff and Izzy.

This made me laugh because every time I listen to 'So fine' by Duff it strikes me that the lyrics are such rubbish!! 

"It's a story of a man
Who works as hard as he can
Just to be a man who stands on his own
But the book always burns
As the story takes it turn
An leaves a broken man"

I mean seriously, WTF Duff???! Not to mention this part doesn't seem to be related to the other verses at all.

I love to listen to the intro of 'So Fine' before I go to bed so I can hear the 'oh's' and 'ah's' before I hit the hey.

Quote

Guns N’ Roses have filed a trademark lawsuit against a brewery that sells a beer called Guns ‘N’ Rosé, The Blast reports and legal documents viewed by Pitchfork confirm.

The band’s lawsuit claims that Canarchy Craft Brewery Collective’s Oskar Blues Brewery attempted to trademark the name but abandoned their trademark application when the band objected. The band say they asked the brewery to stop selling the beer and all affiliated merchandise, but the brewery reportedly stated that they would continue selling Guns ‘N’ Rosé until March 2020. The complaint says that the brewery “should not be entitled to continue to sell infringing products and intentionally trade on the GNR’s goodwill, prestige, and fame without GNR’s approval, license, or consent.”

Guns N’ Roses are suing for trademark infringement and seeking unspecified damages. Pitchfork has reached out to Oskar Blues Brewery.

GNR is right, they overstepped the trademark line.  Hope they settle something so it can continue.  I like the look of the design and the pink color.  Of course that all depends on how it tastes.  Might taste like shit.

This can mean only one thing, that Fernando is planning his own range of Guns N' Roses ales.

I bought the Guns N Rosé beer, not bad the prickly pear makes it pretty tart, the hibiscus adds a little sweetness.

I've seen on Instagram another brewery does an Axl Rosé beer, complete with Axl's face right on the can.  haven't been able to track it down yet.I have i

well i suppose other bands have done it.

Sad thing that GNR is turning into KISS if it comes to lawsuits and trademarks. 

The whole case with beer is a hugely stupid move from the GNR camp.

In fairness Rose has always been a litigious fella. He'd sue himself if given the chance.

I wonder if they already sued the pants off of the cheese people? 

In both cases Axl and Del-the-Smell just demanded payment in kind in the form of beer and cheese  "Give me my cheese homefuck, you dig what Im saying? Owwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!"

I’m glad to hear someone else say so! (Assuming you’re serious?!) Axl basically making sex noises is a recording I’m very happy to have.

Except Black Hole Sun, that one is embarrassing. But the song isnt exactly good anyway so it was hard to save.

Too much time passed that Axl not sue  someone.....

I'm not sure if they have grounds to sue the cheese, as it uses a song title which is not a trademark like the band name. Maybe only for using their likeness, but I'm not sure about this either.

The lawsuit/complaint to the US Trademark Office for the beer was filed by Axl, Slash and Duff as partners. Here is the document:

https://tsdrsec.uspto.gov/ts/cd/casedocs/pdf/proxy?url=http://ttabvue.uspto.gov/ttabvue/ttabvue-91247205-OPP-1.pdf

As the article says, the brewery company abandoned its application for registration of the trademark. Document:

Right on. The Pitchfork article posted earlier in the thread mentioned that the brewery indicated it would continue selling the beer for almost a year (until March 2020). I take that as meaning they will continue to sell the beer with the current Guns N' Rose branding even without the trademark? Unless the article was lazily researched/written that is - the article has been posted 22 hours and the brewery abandoned their application prior to that as it was filed on May 1/19. Perhaps the brewery made that statement after receiving the infringement claim but before giving in and abandoning their tm application.

If abandoning the TM application was not one and the same as discontinuing the beer, then I suppose Axl/Slash/Duff could choose to enforce their successful claim and/or take other legal actions?
