Axl Rose Suing Activision for $20 Million
I heard he's also suing everybody for not paying him royalties for every use of the phrase "oral sex."
Axl owns the rights to Slash's likeness?
Is he going to sue Slash next for the cover of his new album??
Ehhh, this stuff usually pisses me off. But I hate music games, and will be happy if Activision loses this case.
No, he owns the rights to Welcome to the Jungle and agreed to license it under the condition that it was not used in conjuction with a likeness of Slash." Axl owns the rights to Slash's likeness?
Is he going to sue Slash next for the cover of his new album?? "
Kinda silly, but kinda makes sense. It'll all boil down to what the paperwork says I suppose.
" Axl owns the rights to Slash's likeness?He owns the rights to everything visual and stylistic pertaining to 80s and early 90s Guns n Roses.
Is he going to sue Slash next for the cover of his new album?? "
The lawsuit goes in Axl's favor from what I can tell, but I'm sure Activision has a side to it all.

Fuckin' haters.
" The lawsuit goes in Axl's favor from what I can tell, but I'm sure Activision has a side to it all.Haha... yeah it's a good game now, but no matter how many times they say they will support DLC for the games, it's always a few months worth of DLC then they're onto the next game.
