The makers of Guitar Hero find themselves looking down the barrel of a hefty lawsuit as Guns N’ Roses frontman Axl Rose is reportedly suing them for a megaload!
According to sources who have obtain legal documentation, Axl is suing Activision Blizzard Inc for over $20 million dollars for fraud, breach of contract and unjust enrichment, among others claims. Axl claims that he was never asked permission to use Welcome To The Jungle as part of Guitar Hero III and as he is the majority owner of the trademarks and licensing associated with the band, he wants his $$$.
Can’t say we blame. Can’t say we believe him that he wasn’t asked either. Don’t think a major corporation like that would make such a big boo-boo!
