And it takes much less than two hours - namely, about 10 seconds or 3 clicks and zero bucks to find and access the documents, including this particular one which doesn't reveal anything than what we already know:
http://tsdr.uspto.gov/caseviewer/pdf?caseId=88062803&docIndex=2&searchprefix=sn#docIndex=2

And Slash has another band re: future recordings.

Anyway, I'm not interested in whatever else the thread is supposed to be about or in speculative "facts" about the band  interspersed (incoherently) with videos, and I can continue ignoring it as I have for the most part.  But I don't like seeing distasteful digs at other forums, their admins and their members.

(I could have this username though. I like the song - the Beatles one, I mean, not the shitty one by Myles' band )

On the other hand, there are some things and situations that have changed since then. For example, Slash has another band, his own band which is a permanent and steady thing, unlike Snakepit and even Velvet Revolver, and with which he can make the music he likes in his own terms and pace - a "painless" band, as he called it recently. And, of course, they all have changed as people.

Yep, looking forward to "later" then.

Well, then again you act as the "expert" here, isn't it your friggin' job to bring me back on track? And pronto, please.

A twenty-year stalemate ensued in which Slash and DMoney legally prevented the singer from using the marks, cashing in on synch and even pirating their royalties.  Hence, the singer played Brooklyn Bowl and backyard bbq's with an ever-revolving door of nobodies in his cover band

Yeah, well, that is one way to put it. The history of "new" GnR has been well documented. I was around for those years from 2006 until 2014.
Except for this part maybe:

Looking forward to more "info" on this!!!

There is no contractual anything because he is a Remaining, Original Partner who, along with DMoney, controlled the partnership assets for a quarter century.  There was never going to be any unleashing of the Brink's truck known as AFD unless Slash and DMoney were physically playing in the band.  It took the singer crawling back by requesting Slash's number two decades after the fact to get this not-so-subtle point.

Ok, if that was your "point" (or one of 'em), I finally got it.

What you (as in the plural) are seeing the past few days is public negotiation in timed, published interviews.  Pressure, if you prefer.  It harkens back to late last summer/early fall [which, (co)incidentally mirrors my activity—your call as to whether it’s contemporaneous or prior.].  In that vein, note that the ubiquitous Slash is saying (yet again) that there is a Gn’R record. Scroll up, and keep an eye out for Mr. Niven references.

The “we’re gonna sort of focus on that” published a few days ago then doesn’t mean what Heaven’s Gate is trained to believe that it means.  ForumLand, on the whole (present company excluded), continues to be puppeteered by the Gimp at the behest of Cuffy’s boi.  

It's all-quiet in certain circles.  Am I right, or I am right?  And yet Slash and DMoney are yack, yack, yacking away.

All this, prurient though it may be, distracts from Mr. Niven's confirmation in a podcast (if that is actual thing) with a canadian (if that is an actual place) a few days ago of matters detailed in this very thread.

I believe in coincidences.  And friction.

Selectively commenting on the following, all of which has been posited in the present thread:

Re the inimitable Mr. Niven, his historical attestations are beyond reproach.  This, necessarily, includes those occurring hot n’ heavy post-2015, particularly given that one Mr. Stradlin consulted Mr. Niven, as referenced above, during the failed negotiations.  

That’s akin to sayin that Ms. Warner managed NITL.  Next.

Slash’s publicly-available averments during his divorce proceeding—specifically the asset disclosure—account for his advances from Vivendi/UMG.  It is public, factual evidence that he has recorded with the aligned two Remaining, Original Gn’R Partners.

And let’s get something straight:  advances are recoupable.  

Uli wrote:Yeah well, what strikes the eye is: Slash is moving into Axl's studio... that might mean Axl is "boss".
But I don't think so. It's just that they both know they'll need each other to make another GN'R album (or single, who knows what they'll be doing)...
Duff obviously got his amp in shape already.

So, now all we need to know: is there trouble with UMG/Vivendi? Will they release anything the band deliver? Or will there be need for new negotiations, a new recording contract maybe?

I expect a link to photos or video of Slash in Malibu (if that is an actual place).  At any moment.

The singer’s jawn—secured from y-o-u-r back pocket—ain’t dense like Metropolitan Avenue in Brooklyn.  Williamsburg, raise ya.  

...

A live-in of one Partner planted the propaganda power play about a ‘mysterious’ amp.  And then fed it to ForumLand’s censor-in-chief to rattle the cages.  The monkey must be fed.  Were either of the other two Partners referenced in said since-censored post, namely the guitarist?  It’s got all the specificity of a non-specific Marshall Applewhite what-have-you.  Read the wiped post again.  With an informed eye.

This shit, rumor has it, “is legit” as legit gits.  Or simply gargle.  Then spit.  Scroll up in the present thread.  ForumLand will be back for another bite at the apple.  In this very thread.  Trust me.

Interesting.

Also interesting, why is "Team Brazil" named on the official homepage of the band Guns N'Roses as the official management?

Guns N' Roses is managed by Team Brazil
