FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

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.

I would actually be somewhat interested in hearing this. Chris Weber is the guy who co-wrote "Anything GOes," I think. Did he not also go on to play in the nouveau-grunge band U.P.O. about four years ago?

"Hollywood Rose - The Roots of Guns N' Roses" Worst title ever. Why don't they name it, "Hollywood Rose - Kickin' a Dead Horse"

stevereno - 7/8/2004 12:54:38 PM
when were GNR the biggest rock band in the world??? AXL you fat fuck, you fucking suck. The only reason your probably pissed is because you aren't making money on this. You bought the GNR rights (or should I say forced your bandmates to sign them over)and now your not happy someone is doing something with something you sold away?? YOU ARE A LITTLE WHINING CUNT WITH A FAKE WEAVE, FAKE TEETH, FAT GUT, AND ZERO FUCKING TALENT YOU SPANDEX STUFFING TROLL.
