Axl Rose Sues Activision Over Slash's Inclusion in Guitar Hero III

[Sirisaxman]

I always knew Axl Rose was a little *****, this just confirms it. "My throats hurts!" As he smokes a cigarette and drinks his booze. lol. What a jerkoff. Everyone left his band cuz they hate him.

 

[ENKC]

It's been well established that Rose is a self-centred tosser. But then, he can afford to be. He can't hear your complaints over the sound of his enormous pile of money.

 

[DiMono]

It amuses me that Rose has deluded himself into thinking his current band is Guns & Roses in anything more than name. GnR has always been Axl, Slash, and a few other guys, and he's stupid if he thinks anyone is seriously going to disassociate Slash from the band. That hat is iconic.

 

[Something Amyss]

There have been 7 games released since GH3, not including DS releases. He's a little late.

Too bad it really doesn't matter how much time has past.

I'm sure he didn't just become aware, however.

 

[Christemo]

He's just doing anything for money now, isn't he?

i dont think so. Rose is pretty rich as far as i know. plus im sure kotick wont miss it, hes already sleeping on a bed of billion dollar bills.

 

[BlackWidower]

Slash was never a member of Guns and Roses? OH! He left Guns and Roses, so that means he can't ever be referenced as being a member of Guns and Roses because Axl went back in time and killed Slash. Got it.

 

[Christemo]

He can't hear your complaints over the sound of his enormous pile of money.

*cough cough* Kotick *cough cough*

I've always hated Axl Rose, he's such a huge douchebag. Slash has always been cooler than him anyway. Yeah, it might be likely that he will win, but if he does he will just look like an even bigger douchebag. Oi vey.

 

[Loop Stricken]

Just when I thought I couldn't dislike Axl Rose any more...

 

[DPunch4]

he had talent, I loved his singing.

He's still a piece of shit though.

 

[Polock]

Rose's anger over the situation stems from his perception that Slash's inclusion in Guitar Hero III confuses the public into associating him with Guns N' Roses,

What?

Who doesn't associate Slash with Guns N' Roses?

Activision had better settle, lest Rose devirginize them all with his axe.

It also only makes sense they honour their agreements.

Besides, with only two licensed guitarists in the game (Unless you count Bobby Kottick as his alter ego SATAN), that's hardly a stellar argument.

I'm not an Axl Rose fan, but let's try and be realistic here.

Realistic?

You think Activision wouldn't cover their backsides on this?
I'm almost certain they sought and paid for the full rights to use the song as they saw fit for that particular game. No, what Axl is doing is throwing a hissy fit because he wasn't included and Slash was and quite rightly so, as the game is Guitar Hero, not Rock Band.

He doesn't have a leg to stand on and is just after some attention, this case will more than likely be dropped.

Axl vs Activision?

The hardest battle will be deciding who I hate more.

 

[The Rockerfly]

So the king of music dick is going against the king of video games dick

This should be a blast to watch, with greedy bastards, over priced lawyers and bullshit on both sides. Get your popcorn ready

 

[antipunt]

Meh who cares? Axl may be a dick at times, but Activision is king of the dicks.

So this is the iconic, 'dick waving contest' I presume?

 

[SpAc3man]

They should chuck the case out on the grounds that Axl is a DICK.
