Filing the lawsuit are U.K music label Independiente and the US-based Domino Records, who are seeking damages against Guns N' Roses and the album's producers.

Both indie labels are suing Guns n’ Roses and Universal Music Group, claiming songs on Chinese Democracy copied parts of two songs written by German artist Ulrich Schnauss.

According to Reuters, the suit says Guns N’ Roses’ “Riad N’ the Bedouins” used parts of Ullrich’s “Wherever You Are” and “A Strangely Isolated Place” without getting permission.

Rolling Stone reports that the lawsuit “focuses on 45 seconds of ambient soundscapes at the beginning of “Riad N’ the Bedouins,” before the song breaks into full guitar assault that shares no resemblance to Schnauss’ body of work.”

The lawsui will not  be easy for the labels to prove since Schnauss' songs debuted in 2001 and 2003, while the album Chinese Democracy took more decade’s worth of recordings and production to create
