Axl Rose wants $20 million for hating Slash

[the_flight_of_the_magpie]

Axl Rose is so over playing second fiddle to Slash he's suing the makers of Guitar Hero for including his former band mate in a Guns N' Roses track on the video game. Rose is suing Activision for a cool $20 million all because they failed to mention to him that Slash would be included in the classic Gunners track 'Welcome to the Jungle'.
In the lawsuit filed in Los Angeles yesterday, Rose accuses the company of "spinning a web of lies and deception to conceal its true intentions to not only feature Slash and Velvet Revolver prominently in 'Guitar Hero III', but also promote the game by emphasising and reinforcing an association between Slash and Guns N' Roses and the band's song 'Welcome To The Jungle'."

What a tosser. That guy would have better served the world dying of an OD 20 years ago

Don't know about the rest of you but back in the days of flannos, tight black jeans and mullets, you were either a Gunners man or a Metallica man.

Those of us who chose Metallica knew the score.

 

[axl rose]

sigh, remember how good this guy use to be? nope? oh well. All we get is news on who he is suing these days, rather than where he caused the latest riot.

 

[adamkungl]

what a useless fat merkin. I don't know how he managed it, but he manages to be both more bitter than Dave Mustaine and more of a douche than Lars Ulrich.

Cant blame the bloke for being immensly popular and catious, its not like he is in you am I or a lame band that no one gives a f**k about.

 

[sydraider]

*double*

 

[Eelectrica]

Oh Axl, just start working on the next Gunners CD and we'll see ya in 50 years or so.

 

[Munky]

The real tragedy here is that this sh*t is keeping the good Guns N' Roses songs out of Rock Band and Guitar Hero.

f**k you Axl.

 

[Stagger eel]

speaking of that idiot, get a load of this...

There are billboards all over Sydney right now claiming that a band by the name of Guns and Roses is playing this weekend. This is a lie. A bandy-legged, lank-haired fellow dressed in spandex dacks and a gay headband is playing. His name is Axl Rose and he has not left the house in 20 years
There is no Slash, no Izzy Stradlin, no-one to blow the sports whistle which heralds the thumping start of Paradise City, just a few session musos and a chap who spent the past two decades penning the anti-masterwork Chinese Democracy, a concept album so crap in design and execution that it makes Roger Water’s Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking seem intelligent. It is unclear whether the relevant sections of the Trade Practices Act covering false and deceptive conduct can be applied to foreign entites - Punch columnist and competition crusader Professor Frank Zumbo would know - but whatever the case the billboard advertising the Guns and Roses concert should bear a large asterisk reading “Actual band may not match band shown.”

what a useless fat merkin. I don't know how he managed it, but he manages to be both more bitter than Dave Mustaine and more of a douche than Lars Ulrich.

I shall call him Lars Mustain.

hahah

but yeah he's just a fruitbat now. he probably sleeps upside down.

welcome to the jungle baby

I think you will find plenty of people don't give a f**k about metallica.

Maybe he thinks he is a bit more popular than he is.

Somehow I doubt the local surfers down winki and bells would start chasing him and getting hysterically....
most probably wouldn't even recognize him.

Most liked both and I wouldnt call the metallica boys a picture of sanity. Watch some kind of monster to see how gay they have become.

On axl, what a shame he is such a moron.

emphasising and reinforcing an association between Slash and Guns N' Roses and the band's song 'Welcome To The Jungle'."

ahh, SLash was part f Guns N Roses and Welcome to the jungle, its not like they are linking him to songs he never played, was part of or recorded.

This is just geniused!

Freddie Mercury/Queen >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> daylight >>>>>>> Britnney Spears >>>>>>> daylight >>>>> Metallica and G'n'R

What exactly is wrong with him having security with him if he wants to be left alone? You might be right that most there wouldn't recognise him, but it only takes one or two d*ckheads to ruin it for him.
