GUNS N' ROSES - Trial For Axl Rose's $20 Million Lawsuit Against Activision To Begin In January
March 10, 2011, 13 years ago
The Daily Breeze reports:
Axl Rose's $20 million lawsuit today against Activision Blizzard Inc. for using a GUNS N' ROSES song in its Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock video game will take place early next year, a judge said today.
Rose alleges that Santa Monica-based Activision reneged on a promise not to use images of the band's former guitarist, Saul "SLASH" Hudson, in the game. After a short conference with attorneys in chambers, Judge Charles Palmer scheduled the trial for January 23rd.
"Simply put, the association between Slash and Guns N' Roses ended almost 15 years ago. Rose resists any attempts to revive or strengthen this past association," the complaint says.
