Who was the 'household name' that leaked Chinese Democracy to Skwerl?

[LandOla]

It was Axl himself. No doubt about it.

[Modano09]

Were those seemingly random Axl/Chinese Democracy pictures on NIN.com around the same time as the leak?

I saw the NIN connection disproved, but I'll leave someone from the NIN camp on my suspects list due to the cross over of band members, Finck's sudden return to NIN and the strange Axl shots taken by Trent.

I don't think it would be Slash or any ex-GNRer, due to the lawsuits. They know who they're dealing with, they leak Axl's 15 year album and he'll have them in court before you finish listening to the album.

I'll say it's Axl, or someone close to Axl on his behalf - the only way he could ensure it was released, and why he seemed to wash his hands with it once it was.

But this is fun, I hope he find out who it was someday.

What Axl shots? i missed that. Let me see if i understood correctly. Trent posted pictures of Axl at Nin.com?

Anyone has the photos?

The photos are from 2004-2005, By that time, Finck was still in GNR.

I asked before for this but no one seems to have them. I remember those very well, trent was making fun of 2002 Axl, like he was hidden in their studio.

We should come up with a bunch of possible candidates, then have a Vegas bookmaker create odds and take bets (or at least do a poll).

I submit the name of Courtney Love for consideration, just because I can.

Axl "was" in a mirror and Buckethead was in the crowd at a NIN concert if I remember correctly.

Wasn't there some picture of trent at some computer with chinese democracy written on the screen and blurred out song titles as well?

There was a picture of the band standing backstage with a sign behind them that said Chinese Democracy.

It would have been 2006/2007. I recall NIN touring in Europe at the time and I had the original GNR leaks. I'm thinking late 2006 or early 2007.

Axl and Trent had also been dealing with the same people from Interscope, it also wouldn't surprise me if someone from Marilyn Manson wound up leaking it, if not Manson himself.

For some reason I think they were in Europe or Austrailia at the time, which would put it sometime between February and May 2007, I believe...if it was 2006, they did a With Teeth North American spring/summer tour February to May again.

went to the NIN thread on htgth. the original pictures was gone but there was a close up of the computer screen with blurry song titles. posted 6th january 2007.

months later Trent himself leaked some songs from Year Zero before its release

BTW. I really do not think that Trent had anything to do with the GNR leaks, he was surely just fucking around on his website

When did we find out Sorry was a song title? If The Blues were named Street of Dreams, or there was another song we didn't know about at the time I'd say he had CD, or some version of it...which is probably what he was trying to make people think......I follow NIN religiously and I never did find out exactly why he suddenly started teasing GNR...I heard Trent make a comment about Axl being a bloated recluse with glued on hair in 2005 and he recalled opening for GNR being a nightmare due to the fans not liking NIN, but I don't know of any personal issue between the two, outside of fighting over Robin....

I don't think we would have known If The World at that time either.

[wasted]

Bach talked about Sorry first?

Street Of Dreams turned up on the Best Buy track listing?

[Black Roses]

Bucket?

Bach?

Who gives a fuck? Thanks god someone leaked those shits.

[dalsh327]

The photo of the songs from the NIN site looks like something for a music editing program.

The only "household name" I can think of that had any involvement with GNR during the ChiDem era is Sharon Osbourne. I could see Jack Osbourne leaking the songs.

Piazza was a household name - if you liked baseball.

why wont swrl tell who it is?

when was Sharon involved with GNR?

[Forsaken]

He sent IRS to Trunk?

maybe it's this Pizza guy who sent MSL the remixes?

Pizza is retired now. He probably posts on mygnr.

[Russel Nash]

pizza=piazza? or someone else?
