Axl Rose Loses Case Against Guitar Hero and Activision
Guns N Roses frontman and renowned arse Axl Rose has lost his court battle with Activision.
Eurogamer reports that the $20 million fraud and misrepresentation case was dismissed because it was filed too late, three years after the game’s release.
The case was brought about because Rose believed that upon allowing Welcome To The Jungle to be used in Guitar Hero III, Activision said that his band mate Slash wouldn’t be in the game.
Slash was one of the stars of Guitar Hero III and its ad campaign.
The decision was handed made by LA Superior Court Judge Charles Palmer.

A freelance journo with aspirations of becoming a games journalist, I've been gaming since the age of 7 when I first picked up a copy of Wave Race for my brand new Gameboy. A firm believer that Vice City is the best GTA, I'm less decisive about the favourite original starter Pokémon. Charsquirtasaur?
