Slash speaks out about Chinese Democracy leak
Slash has spoken to the LA Times about the incident, in which Cogill has become the first Californian to fall foul of the federal anti-piracy law that was passed three years ago. “I hope he rots in jail,” says the Velvet Revolver guitarist. “It’s going to affect the sales of the record and it’s not fair. The internet is what it is, and you have to deal with it accordingly, but I think if someone goes and steals something, it's theft." Slash’s comments are surprisingly empathic considering the bad blood that has flowed between him and Rose in the past. Perhaps he’s just got a lot of time on his hands while Velvet Revolver auditions new vocalists? [LA Times]

"I hope he rots in jail" - Wow, assh0le alert.
In Slash' defense, I do think the leak will considerably hurt sales for Chinese Democracy. The problem is if Cogill didn't leak the tracks, someone else inevitably would.
This guy steals his creation and Slash is the a--hole? Sorry guys. This doesn't fall under freedom of speech. Artists have a right to protect their jobs. Same as everyone else.
I'm Totally Buying Chinese Democracy When it's Released! so deal with the internet crud and release Chinese Democracy and I will buy it the releaed day!

The song that i have heard are OK but not very guns
Paddy
its a fact that most fans will download first because bands these days take forever to release an album but they will also buy the cd when/if its released.GNR maybe will lose abit of money but they are hardly going to be claiming welfare if it doesn't make the top 10 billboard chart are they?
that guy kevin is not the original source to the leak so slash, god bless his mangled head is missing the point.
bad bins
I did expect a massive #1 in regards to sales but saying the album by coming in third tanked is ridiculous. This one will take a while to grow on people but in the end, sales will be there.
