Gwen Stefani isn't the only rocker pissed with Activision—Guns 'N' Roses frontman and hair-braiding model Axl Rose recently got the go-ahead to pursue a lawsuit against the Bobby Kotick's money-printing machine. Axl claims that the publisher agreed not to use former GNR guitarist and arch-enemy Slash's likeness in the game when Rose licensed "Welcome to the Jungle" to Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock. The trial is set to start January 23, 2012, and Axl is seeking $20 million in damages. Wait, we thought he owed that to the American people for Chinese Democracy... [Lick Library]
