Check Mate Clip - New: Longer! (Fake?)

[MetaSouL]

but we all know that there isn't a longer version of checkmate, and that it's just looped. so just lock the thread.

Point taken - However it provided discussion and entertainment in an otherwise dead forum.  Don't take offense, of course it's not the forum's fault - it's just the vibe of the GNR world right now....until we hear otherwise from the man himself.

Exactly. This is a joke thread and its lame and its sad it has 4 pages of replies.

well a 16 second clip doesn't really give much of the song away does it?

I thought anything under 30 seconds was considered fair use.

"up to 10%, but in no event more than 30 seconds, of the music and lyrics from an individual musical work."

Even if GNR did want it taken down, nothing anyone could do anyways for the most part.

That may explain everything then...

I thought Theft/copyright infringement was still a crime, and as far as I know this song has not been liscensed to be released in any format for any amount of time by its owner(s).  It has been unlawfully broadcasted/released/traded without consent of the publisher. 

Im kinda talking out my ass here, but it makes sense to me. Are you sure the law you cited applies to unreleased/unauthorized material?

And anyway, the thread title misleading, Fake has a ? in front of it when its known to be fake, and there is no ? in front of New.  The song is not longer, its a known fake loop and is misleading uninformed visitors,  or thats how  I would see it, I dont believe thats opinion.

Wow, we are starving, getting into technicalities and semantics to pass the time, geeez.

 I believe this to be Axl, but real or fake, how come all other threads regarding song leaks get deleted and this is still around ?

because it's funny to see people talking about a song that has been confirmed about 2745876415 times as not GNR... the 5 pages thread proves it

its axl. its a real gnr song, i know because i know exactly where it originated from. not from some random douche fan trying to trick people. it came from the same guy who leaked the early versions of irs and twat. will checkmate(unknown song) ever be released in its entirety? dont think so. because they caught the source and i think axl scrapped the song, wont use it on any future album like 'crash diet' from uyi sessions. didnt know he had a hit right there.

sorry, dont know the entire story behind it, but thats axl, and I dont know any  projects hes worked on since 1987 other than gnr.  Oh shit, and sebastians album, was it on that, erm...

Anyway, I guess it amuses YOU and you are the one who makes this decisions so whatever, just dont see the point of misleading people, in the know or not.

if it aint gnr, close the thread, if it is, close the thread.... Whats the point of stuff like this ?
