AXL Copyrighting New Songs, Presumably In Preparation Of Release

A very cool tidbit of news. Axl has begun trademarking new songs so that no one can plagiarize them. This is typically done when songs are finalized, in preparation for release.

You'll notice the listing for this song is just gibberish right now. That's because the ASCAP listings are a matter of public record. Using incorrect or nonsense titles is a common practice to keep the song title a surprise, since song titles can be changed later in the ASCAP directory.

Interesting... So a new album is on the way?

It's looking more and more likely.
