 Judge Denies Axl Rose Motion Against Cleopatra Records By Sefany Jones, Contributing Editor Thursday, July 8, 2004 @ 12:07 AM
CLEOPATRA RECORDS PREVAILS IN EFFORT BY
AXL ROSE TO PREVENT RELEASE OF ALBUM
SINGER FOR LEGENDARY HARD ROCK BAND GUNS N' ROSES LOSES MOTION AGAINST INDIE JUGGERNAUT RELEASING ALBUM BY HOLLYWOOD ROSE
Los Angeles, CA - On Tuesday, July 6th, United States District Court Judge Gary A. Fees denied the motion of W. Axl Rose and his Guns N' Roses partnership for a preliminary injunction against Los Angeles-based independent record label Cleopatra Records. Rose had sought an injunction against the release of the album entitled Hollywood Rose - The Roots of Guns N' Roses.
In early June, Rose sued Cleopatra Records for trademark infringement, violation of rights in his name and likeness, and for unfair competition. The singer was trying to prevent the label from releasing original Hollywood Rose recordings from early 1984. Hollywood Rose is the band Rose formed With Izzy Stradlin, Chris Weber and Johnny Kreis, before Rose and Stradlin went on to become part of the biggest rock 'n' roll band in the world, Guns 'N Roses.
The five original tracks were purchased by Cleopatra from guitarist Chris Weber, who performed on the record and who paid for the recordings back in '84. On June 22, 2004, Deadline Music, a label of Cleopatra Records, released the original five songs with added remixes by former Guns N' Roses axeman Gilby Clarke and Cinderella drummer Fred Coury.
Already receiving early accolades by such high-profile press as Rolling Stone and VH1 among others, Hollywood Rose - The Roots of Guns N' Roses showcases the immense talent these four musicians possessed and why this band matters.
