Axl Rose has partially emerged from hiding, and he's putting his litigious foot forward. After tossing some threats towards Dr. Pepper, the G N' R frontman had some less than complimentary things to say about Activision's Guitar Hero franchise, which Rose accused of using "Sweet Child O' Mine" and "Welcome to the Jungle" in an unauthorized manner. Rose said that he had no problem with Guns guitarist Slash appearing in the game and went as far as to say that Slash has the right to perform the songs, but maintained that Activision did not obtain the proper license to use either one of them. Activision, possibly preparing to get in the ring, has not responded publicly to Rose's allegations.[NME]
