According to a story at [URL=http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE6AM75120101123]Reuters[/URL], Axl Rose has today filed a $20 million lawsuit against Activision Blizzard. It seems the Guns N’ Roses frontman only agreed to allow the inclusion of “Welcome to the Jungle” in Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock as long as there was no reference to former GNR guitarist Saul Hudson (better known as Slash) or his subsequent band Velvet Revolver.

Rose apparently doesn’t like him very much.

As it turns out, Slash was featured prominently on the game’s cover and three Velvet Revolver songs were released as DLC the week following the game’s release. Rose says he knew about the cover art and VR songs but was told their inclusion was just for the purposes of a trade show.
