    I heard he's also suing everybody for not paying him royalties for every use of the phrase "oral sex."

    There are so many cases like this against Activision now, that it simply can't be a coincidence anymore.

    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.
    Kinda silly, but kinda makes sense. It'll all boil down to what the paperwork says I suppose.

    He owns the rights to everything visual and stylistic pertaining to 80s and early 90s Guns n Roses.

    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.
