its not enough sampled music legally to matter
the guy can be pissed off all he likes but you can use 11 seconds per track without permission, you could use the same 11 seconds looped for 5 minutes and not be sued

Sounds like an ordiary spaced pad-rotation to me.
Why should Axl feel the need to rip off a completely unknown german dipshit for a totally random pattern of pad-ambience? Baffles me -- oh wait, I doesn't -- since I do not care  :)

I bet it is, I bet Pitman released it on one of those effects/preset packages for synthesiser/programming software on computers that he did a while back, I mean he's been involved with that kinda thing for years hasn't he?

Also Brain released some presets for a drum machine package... ?

This shouldn't be difficult to sort out. It's not plagiarism, it's just a sample used on the intro. You see this more commonly and on a much larger scale in Hip Hop. Also it's worth noting that on programs like Logic, there are tons and tons of samples and loops that artists can use, so naturally your likely to hear the same/very similar stuff from time to time. Ive noticed certain samples on Logic and gone "wait, isnt this used on xxx song or the music from this TV advert.. blah blah..."

GUNS N' ROSES Manager Denies Band Illegally Borrowed Music From German Artist - Oct. 6, 2009
GUNS N' ROSES manager Irving Azoff has released a statement in response to claims the band illegally borrowed music from two songs by a German musician on its last album, "Chinese Democracy".

British label Independiente and the U.S. arm of Domino Recording Company, who own the licensing rights to songs by German electronic musician Ulrich Schnauss, allege that singer Axl Rose and GUNS N' ROSES band members and album producers copied portions of two of Schnauss' songs — "Wherever You Are" and "A Strangely Isolated Place" (hear audio below) — for a song used on the band's last GN'R album called "Riad N' the Bedouins".

Azoff's full statement reads as follows:

"The band believed when the record came out and still believes that there are no unauthorized samples on the track. The snippets of 'ambient noise' in question were provided by a member of the album's production team who has assured us that these few seconds of sound were obtained legitimately. Artists these days can't read the minds of those they collaborate with and therefore are unfortunately vulnerable to claims like this one. While the band resents the implication that they would ever use another artist's work improperly and are assessing possible counterclaims, they are confident this situation will be satisfactorily resolved."

The lawsuit, filed on Friday but made available on Monday, seeks $1 million in damages.

1 million dollars ouch!

Im just happy this happened... Axl needed a bite in the ass...

With all the lawsuits he always wanted to make to the former members.... This clearly states: "What Goes Around Comes Around".

You have to admit that it's pretty funny. They come out within a day and "vigorously" defend themselves against accusations of plagiarism yet they won't confirm tour dates for their fans.
