Guns 'n' Roses "Leaker" Busted!

Filed under: Music Minute > Legal Matters

This is some scary shiz.

Don't eff with Axl Rose, y'all!

A few months ago, nine songs from Guns 'n' Roses' 14-years-in-the making Chinese Democracy album were leaked on to the Internets.

Well, the man accused of posting the GnR songs, Kevin Cogill, was arrested on Wednesday morning in Culver City, CA.

Cogill admitted to posting the songs when he was questioned by an FBI agent, according to an affidavit.

A federal attorney said he's expected to appear in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles later today.

You can never hide from the Feds….or people with a lot of money!

    What the hell?! The poor guy just figured that was the only way the music would ever be heard anyway! Give the guy a break…….. Asshole, I mean Axl!



  15. 15

    My friend just told me that she work/worked with this guy. He literally sat right across from her cubicle. "I guess he wont be coming to the company wide meeting" she says, thats real sad.



  16. 16

    …omg the fbi for songs?
    that's so stupid, like anybody
    was really gonna go out and buy
    their damn cd anywyas.



  17. 17

    remember when artists were excited to have their music passed around.
    when making a mix tape wasn't against the law

    there are americans dying in iraq, and this is what the feds are doing. pathetic.

    My god his fuckin face… and those dreads. WHY Axl WHY????



  19. 19

    FUCKING RIDICULOUS! Only in the States would you ever get this bullshit going on. Haven't the cops got anything else more important to do…? Like actually catching proper criminals?! Axl Rose is a desparate has-been and nobody honestly could care less anymore. AS FAR AS MOST ROCK FANS ARE CONCERNED - GUNS 'N' ROSES WERE OVER YEARS AGO! Velvet Revolver rule!



  20. 20

    i fucking love guns n roses, one of my all time favorite bands. but i do admit that having the fbi involved is going a little overboard, but its axl what do you expect? but i do have to say i hate people who download music. go out and but the cd and support the musicians who made it. cant wait till the cd comes out, whenever that may be.



  21. 21

    and all of you people who are saying that nobody is gonna buy the cd when it comes out is FUCKING STUPID! every gnr fan is gonna buy the cd, past or present. and there are a lot of gnr fans trust me.



  22. 22

    Who even cares, it's going to blow DEAD Bear when the piece o Shizz comes out anyway, a fuckin' decade to late. Go sell used cars Rose, fuckin retreaded old queen!



  23. 23

    What a major Loser!!
    Nobody really cares about what he does. Its over for him. What in the hell did he do to himself? Slash and Duff RULE!
    Axl is a genuine Has-Been! ICK!!



  24. 24

    What about Mister Saint Laurent? He's been very vocal about this. Check his blog out where he blows this wide open:

  25. 25

    The guy SHOULD have been arrested for leaking that crap. If Axl ever decides to release it, HE should be arrested too. GnR = shit



  26. 26

    Re: ireadtheblog4thecomments – You know why that was? Remember how expensive cassette tapes were? It wasn't because they were expensive to produce. It was because of a tariff built into the price of each tape that was then paid to the recording industry. The RAII tried to kill the technology known as tape recorders back then. They struck a deal that gave us the tariff and not a word was heard about copying music. Blank CD's and other digital media players don't carry a tariff. Besides, the illegal file sharing is much bigger than the recording to tape ever was.



  27. 27

    we get it. perez has 'alot of money' and is 'rich'.



  28. 28

    It's also pretty sad when those nine songs are all the poor fellow has. It's been 17 years since this douche last released original material. 17 years, 9 songs. I don't think you can even call that writer's block. There isn't a word for such lameness.



  29. 29

    So what now, Axel gonna stick is rosy gun up the guy's ass.

    Re: Rumer Fan 4 EVAH
    Ewww pah-leez, saying GNR is "SO OLD" is like saying we should all throw away history… that's called denying who you are, and I know LOTS of people who will buy that album, cause true Guns fans have not give up on them cause they were out of the mainstream… ¬_¬
