Brian May Axed From GNR Album?

Guns n Roses have reportedly removed Brian May’s work on one of the songs that appears on Chinese Democracy, reports Planet Rock.
Way back in 1999 the Queen guitarist recorded guitar parts for a song entitled ‘Catcher N The Rye,’ and despite being nearly a decade old the song has been named as one of the tracks on Chinese Democracy which is out in just over two weeks time.
However, a leaked copy of the album’s sleeve notes do not appear to include Brian May in the credits, which has led people to speculate that Brian May’s guitar work has been axed.
In a post on his website Brian says that he can understand “Ah… well, I did not know this! Well, it is a shame, perhaps… I did put quite a lot of work in, and was proud of it. But I could understand if Axl wants to have an album which reflects the work of the members of the band as it is, right now. I do have mixes of the tracks with my guitar on, work tapes at the time, but they will remain private, out of respect for Axl.”
