GUNS N' ROSES fansite Gnrdaily.com is reporting:
Thanks to KID ROCK’s sissy backhand to Tommy Lee's head at this years VMA's. The topic of Top Rock N Roll Fights' has been given renewed interest, and the folks at Music Blend have weighed in with a list of the top 5. And coming in at number 5 is Vince Neil vs Guns N' Roses.
The Backstory:. During the 1989 MTV Video Music Awards, former Guns N Roses guitarist Izzy Stradlin reportedly hit on MÖTLEY CRÜE lead singer Vince Neil’s wife. After the incident was reported to Neil, the enraged frontman vaulted on stage and cold cocked Stradlin all up in his face. Within a few seconds, security had broken up the altercation and each man headed out for a long night of boozing.
Aftermath: A few days later, an infuriated Axl Rose appeared on MTV and challenged Vince Neil to a parking lot brawl. The offer was soon accepted, but a location could never be agreed upon. Axl’s revenge never took place and both men parted bitter enemies. They reportedly still hate each other, and if God has a sense of humor, he’ll send a chance meeting and a few beers to each of them.
