more legal battles for axl as he has made a counterclaim against Azoff-the full story is in our news section..... In brief- Axl Rose says his former manager tried to implement a scheme to force him to reunite with the original Guns N' Roses band members and, as part of the plot, failed to properly promote the "Chinese Democracy" album, lied about a prospective Van Halen super tour and mishandled the band's tour dates. The claims are part of a bombshell countersuit filed yesterday against Irving Azoff's Front Line Management. In March, Azoff sued Rose, claiming the rocker violated an oral agreement to pay 15% of earnings, or nearly $2 million, from a lucrative concert tour. | |

Sounds like Irving has tried to manipulate fans.:( I remember all the rumours about a Summer Stadium tour with Van Halen. The trouble is that all these confusing rumours make Axl and the band look bad.Isn't it always a shame that money always gets in the way! I wonder if this will effect the Tour? | |

I hope not Juadlu! Actually what Axl says makes sense....and I believe him 100% on the " (Azoff) uses his power to punish artists and harm their careers if they don't follow his orders." Money rules the world sad but true! | |

Seems like a settlement has been made- http://www.contactmusic.com/news.nsf/story/axl-rose-aguns-nd-azoff-settle-legal-wraguns-ngle_1225912 But the two warring parties have now reached a deal to prevent the case from going to trial. Attorneys for both sides appeared in Los Angeles Superior Court on Tuesday (14Jun11) to inform a judge of the settlement, with Azoff's lawyer, Howard King, stating, "They (lawsuits) were settled to the mutual satisfaction of the parties." The terms of the agreement have not been revealed, although legal papers filed by Rose's lawyers state that the deal would involve "a comprehensive touring agreement, in which Guns 'N Roses would perform at various... venues". | |

And if there's a God in Heaven, at least one of those venues will be some place where life-long GnR fan-girl Bastet can actually go to the freakin' concert! | |
