Four Strange Lawsuits In Rock History
Axl vs. Guitar Hero
Before Axl Rose and Slash buried the hatchet, Axl filed a lawsuit regarding Slash’s imagery being used on the video game Guitar Hero III. Axl apparently gave permission to Activision for the use of “Welcome To The Jungle” so long as no images of Slash would be used. Imagine how pissed Axl was when an animated Slash WAS ON THE COVER AND IN THE COMMERCIAL! To be exact, he was $20 million dollars pissed, however, the suit would later be dismissed.
