madison Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 I thought this editorial article on the art lawsuit against Axl was kinda funny. It appeared in the Sept. 29 edition of the Age. The Word CRAIG MATHIESON; ANDREW MURFETT 29 September 2006The Age© 2006 AXL ROSE (right) really has a problem finishing things. The dreadlock-adorned frontman of GUNS N' ROSES is not only, oh, roughly 12 years late with the former heavy-metal titan's much postponed new album, Chinese Democracy but now he's forgotten to fork over about $1.5 million he owes as the second payment on a portrait of John Lennon produced by ANDY WARHOL (middle right). Rose, who is being sued by broker Acquire d'Arte, laid down half the cost but since then his manager has told the dealers, "The painting was not worth the price he had agreed to pay." Hopefully Rose will extend this policy to Chinese Democracy if - not when - it's released, with fans paying 50 per cent upfront and then deciding if they want to give Rose a cent more after they've listened to it.....

final_touches Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 I think the article is mean. It implies that very likely Chinese Democracy is never to be released and if it will bwe released, it wouln't be worth the full price because it would suck.But oh well, how's the saying: There's nothing like bad press Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
