Bloody hell, blabber are quicker with their BS than we are.
That was a clip from our Today show (which is more closely affiliated with your morning show that's not called Today show), it's the lowest rating morning show we have and that clip was at 8:50am on the second day of the school year. School here starts between 8:30 and 9 (in most places) so as you can guess the already low rating show who have their main entertainment report at 7:40 are really heavily watched between 8:30 and 9. Therefore it's not even big news here.
Dee's got a point, he should be paid royalties if his music is used. And Clive is a politician so therefore he's a dick. But both are full of piss and vinegar and Dee's comment at the end about getting in the ring to me just proves he's not serious. However without knowing the full law in regards to music royalties I actually think the way Clive has changed the words and changed the music he might have been done so under legal advice to avoid paying the royalties. Only a small amount has to be changed as far as I am aware and with such an iconic and memorable song it wouldn't take much to sound like the original. I also wonder how Dee gets by after he openly admits to ripping off O Come All Ye Faithful which he knew was out of copyright.
I'm not surprised Clive refused to come on the show, the show is on a Murdoch owned network (so bias is of course non existent), but he's also not going to debate such a topic live on tv, he might have ripped Dee off but he knows better than to make a scene like that on live TV. Australian's aren't going to vote for Clive because he used the song and once it's off TV it will be forgotten as quickly as Dee Snider's Australian Tour.
I do wonder whose royalty cheque is the biggest though. Clive paying Dee for part of his tune, or the Chinese mining company who paid Clive about $200million because of a failed mining deal.

It was words to that effect right at the end. It would be funny if Axl did threaten to sue him though.
Edit: Actually it wasn't those exact words but he did use the words "in the ring". So either Axl sues him or we all assume he wasn't Clive to give it to him somewhere unpleasant.

Yeah seems like a lot of his minor illnesses and medical issues are becoming more than minor these days. I know he says he doesn't want to retire, just give up the big tours, but I think maybe he should have given up the last tours with Sabbath and gone out the way he came in. Sure people would have been upset not seeing him solo one last time but they'd get over it.
