   So who's going to sue about the devil being in it(assuming it is from a version my little sister plays). The church?

   Guitar Hero 3

   This lawsuit isn't even about the "latest version of Guitar Hero". The particular version he is griping about is several years old, with multiple GH games coming out since then.

   yes, rose is a complete tool and this is nothing more than him holding a grudge... but, if activision agreed to those stipulations and he can prove that they did then they broke the terms of the contract and they deserve to be sued.
   
   if he cant prove it, then everyone will think he is an idiot.
   
   
   (well, most people already think that anyway...)

   It beats working!

   He'd have to do a hell of a lot of casino shows to make $20 million.

   Axel was always a rude drugged jackass, he is famous for throwing telephones at his fans from hotels all around the world.

   So Slash can't decide where his likeness gets used? How does that work at all?

   Axl moved to Arizona. Do I need to say more? The sun bakes your brain. I mean who can live in that temperature and stay sane?

    Activision used Slash along with the GNR song Welcome to the Jungle to promote Guitar Hero. Axl is a jerk but this could be an actual trademark confusion issue.
    
    Let's say Burger King put out a commercial of Ronald McDonald singing about how the new Whopper came with two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun. Wouldn't McDonald's have the right to be a little upset?
    
    I'd like to see the actual lawsuit.

    not sure why you think the statement that the claim is about protecting GNR is bogus. for better or worse, axl is trying to re-brand GNR (as evidenced by the new lineup and new style guide to their merchandise/artwork); ongoing association with slash in new product releases could be seen as hindering re-branding efforts.
    
    also, +1 to comment #11 by anonymous coward.

    Re:

    Except, of course, that Axel doesn't own the copyright to "Welcome to the Jungle". It belongs to Universal Music Publishing Group. And last time that I checked (which was a minute ago), Slash has songwriting credit on the song, along with the rest of the band. Put that up against Axel's alleged verbal assurance that he wouldn't be on it, and Rose is the one without a leg to stand on. Hope he breaks something when he falls...

    I won't comment on how asinine this is.
    
    What I WILL comment on is who had the talent.
    
    Listen to the shiite that is Chinese Democracy and then go listen to Slash's latest solo work.
    
    Thats all I'm sayin'......

    Axl Rose is an amazing talent. Not any retard could write those lyrics, only an exceptional retard.

    I personally liked Chinese Democracy. However Axl needs to chill out. G N R is popular for his work with Slash, whether he likes it or not.
