After nine tracks from Guns N' Roses' long-awaited and allegedly forthcoming 'Chinese Democracy' album leaked onto the Internet last week, the FBI paid a visit to the blogger responsible, Kevin Skwerl, on Monday to investigate a complaint reportedly made by Axl Rose.

Skwerl – a former Universal Music employee turned Web designer – posted the material on his Antiquiet blog last week but promptly erased the tracks when Rose's attorneys asked nicely.

Skwerl, whose blog crashed from the volume of Web traffic it received, told Rolling Stone that he got the music from an "anonymous online source." He also explained he was initially told to take the files down by "a really cool guy from the GN'R camp that was a middleman between someone who was very angry and me. He was trying to reach out and see if I'd go without a fight, which is more or less what I did."

The blogger thought the ordeal was over until two young FBI officers he described as "Mulder and Scully types" showed up at his day job and questioned him for 15 minutes. "It was kind of an ambush," Skwerl said. "When I came back from lunch, they were waiting in the lobby for me. It's a little creepy they know where I work."

As for any potential legal trouble, Skwerl isn't too worried because he only streamed the tracks. "It's a legal gray area since it wasn't for download, it wasn't a finished product. We aren't sure who owns the recordings. I feel like I might survive this."
