I was reading the May issue of Rolling Stone, and there's a little blip about The Offspring. Here's what the blip says...this just cracks me up...

Rolling Stone wrote:SoCal punkers The Offspring have named their upcoming album Chinese Democracy, a name that Guns n' Roses leader Axl Rose has been touting for three years as the title of the next Gn'R record. "You snooze, you lose" says Offspring singer Dexter Holland. "Alx ripped off my braids, so I ripped of his album title." According to entertainment lawyer Greg Victoroff, the band is on solid legal ground. "Copyright law does not extend to titles," he says, adding that unless the Offspring deliberately make buyers think they're purchasing a new Gn'R album, they should be save from legal action.

I'm not a big Offspring fan, but I think this is funny. I bet Axl is pissed

I love The Offspring. I gotta tell ya, they sound even better live than they do on CD...not many bands do any more. Im gonna go to another of their concerts, it was quite possibly my best concert ever.

I love the Offspring, and it's about time they had a new record. I have all of their cds but I was beginning to get bored with them.

Grah...already knew about this. They were just joking about using that title (even Noodles said it a few times). Bleh...as for the offspring...grah...i only care for their album Smash. I've heard all of them and that is the only album of theirs i can listen to fully. The rest are eh...they either just suck or only have a few good songs. Oh yeah...I met Dexter Holland when i went to go see Social Distortion play. I have his signature on one of my hats ^_^

hey man Social Distortion kicks ass, even though its old, I still cant get the words to "i wanna be sedated" outta my head.. wich beleive it or not is a good cover wich i thought was better than the original version by the ramones, much more solid.. and yeah, offspring kick ass too..

Luriden · Post by **Luriden** » Fri Apr 18, 2003 5:59 pm

The Offspring did a cover of I Wanna Be Sedated too, it was pretty cool.

the offspring are alright but i prefer green day...well not so much warning

Wow, I'm suprised to see that so many people like the offspring. I really don't like them much, they're lyrics sound forced. Especially in that dumb 'fly for a white guy' song. I can't beleive how long it stayed on the radio for!

Garmo · Post by **Garmo** » Sat Apr 19, 2003 5:16 am

eh. Offspring's Smash release was the best.
Americana was too radio-wanna-be.

And social distortion kicks ass. They have some pretty good covers. I liked Ring of Fire a whole lot.

You all should really tear yourselves away from the radio, however. Theres a whole lot of music out there that isnt releasee by mca and sony that makes offspring look like talentless mooks..

by the way, im suprised no one has mentioned how much they love pennywise.
my opinion of pw: They suck ass. huge, crusty, stinky ass. they're jock punk. Fuck jock punk.

I like GnR music-wise, but Axl is the biggest asshole in the world.
