Another day, another example of what an insufferable egoist Axl Rose can be.  The legendarily contentious frontman of Guns N’ Roses (as well as the modern Guns N’ Roses, which is basically GNR in name only) publicly declared today that he is refusing to attend the 2012 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony for Guns N’ Roses due to the fact that he simply cannot get along with his former bandmates.

Axl Rose Denies Issuing Press Release On LAX Paparazzi Incident Axl Rose Launches $5 Million Lawsuit Against Ex Manager For Trying To Reunite GNR, Hurting His Feelings (Literally)

As you may recall, Irving Azoff and Front Line Management launched a lawsuit earlier this against Axl Rose, alleging that “Rose broke an oral agreement for Front Line to receive 5% the singer’s commissions, which are ‘due on more than $12 million in earnings’ that he earned from performances overseas.”  Which is pretty funny on two counts: 1) That a major corporation actually believed that a man who surgically altered his face to resemble stretched Silly Putty could be held accountable for anything he says; and 2) Axl Rose made $12 million last year?  Man, that’s wild.

The management company contends that Rose broke an oral agreement for Front Line to receive 5% the singer’s commissions, which are “due on more than $12 million in earnings” that he earned from performances overseas.
