Axl Rose's Hatred of Slash Results in $20 Million 'Guitar Hero' Lawsuit

Eager to become the talk of every music fans' Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow, Axl Rose has just issued his most insane lawsuit yet, suing "Guitar Hero" makers Activision for $20 million for featuring Guns N' Roses' "Welcome to the Jungle" in "Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock." Axl initially signed off on "Jungle" being used in the game, but on one condition: Do not put any music by Velvet Revolver, which boasts guitarist Slash (Rose's former bandmate and mortal enemy) in the game. Well, not only did "Guitar Hero III" offer a bunch of Velvet Revolver songs, they crowned Slash the game's spokesperson, featured him on the game's cover and made him a playable avatar. Cue Axl's lawsuit.

Regardless of how we feel about Axl's bitchassness and this suit, he's got a case. If they agreed to his stipulations and signed off on it, and then reneged on that agreement, they fucked up.

But if that was in any signed paper work and he just requested without having it on whatever they sign off on there is no case.​
