It is a cover of Bob Dylan, not G'n'R. Try to at least get the original artist right if you are going to complain. Avril's will probably be more in the spirit of the original than G'n'R's.
I am looking forward to both the Avril and OLP covers. She did a great job with Basket Case and KOHD should be great too.
When this cd comes out on Tuesday, will it be available in stores in the US? I know...great question from someone who works in a record store but I've heard nothing about it other than from the War Child site and various OLP sites

Brutus is an honorable man
It's just coincidence that oil men will wage war in an oil rich land
And this one goes out to my man taking cover in the trenches with a gun in his hand
Then gets home and no one flinches when he can't feed his fam...
i know it's darn unlikely, but what are the chances of this getting a Stateside release?
Oops, someone already asked that. Guess I need to finish reading the thread first, huh
"When looking up there, I just felt whole, like I belonged. Like one day I too would shine my most brilliant. Sitting there also made me think about sitting through services at my little country church back home. About that never-changing congregation of the same sixty-seven people and everyone has known you since before you were born. Now, out here in the real world, everything just seemed more vivid than when I used to sit in that little pew. That pew that was now so, so far away from where I was. I feared I had somehow left God behind there, too. I feared he was somehow just sitting there, saving my seat on the fifth pew from the front row, just waiting on me to come back. I left so quickly, I worried that he may not have noticed I was gone. And, now, I’m just too far away to find. So he’s just sitting there, patiently waiting on me to come back. I closed my eyes and prayed a moment. I hoped more than anything that he could still hear me." -an excerpt from my novella, A Sea of Fallen Leaves.
Forget about Avril Lavigne! Her cover of "Chop Suey" was a joke, literally. She didn't try to play the song good, geez! Chill out...
So does anyone know if this CD will be available in the U.S.? I just contacted someone at Sony Music to see if I can get some answers from them. Hopefully we can get it, looks like a great lineup along with Our Lady Peace.

I don't think it will be available in the US However, I (pre)ordered mine from http://www.hmv.com and I think they ship worldwide (I know they at least ship to the US) I think the total came to about $21 American (with shipping)...for a 2 disc set, that's not bad!

A representative from Sony Music said that there is no current release date for the U.S. release, but she did tell me to try www.hmv.com

Oh yeah, and that Innocent single in Germany (I think it's Germany... I forget) has the live version of Imagine on it, not the new acoustic one. Just thought I should say that.
