No stranger to litigious slapfights—see this and that—Axl Rose is kicking off the Thanksgiving holiday by suing the sweet stuffing out of Activision for a cool $20 million. Why? Because Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock features both GNR’s classic “Welcome to the Jungle” side by side with several tracks by former GNR guitarist Slash’s band, Velvet Revolver.
There’s no doubt about it; Scott Weiland will go down in history as one of the 90′s best vocalists and front men. If anyone says otherwise, I’m more than willing to get out of my comfortable lounge chair and go toe-to-toe in a verbal beat-down as to why he is in fact the man. However, the term “behind every great man is a great women” would remain the same – with an arsenal of talented musicians backing his every move in Stone Temple Pilots & Velvet Revolver, it’s easy to forget that Scott Weiland has some incredibly talented music makers behind his vocal cords. One would assume it’s their magic that fueled Scott’s voice to give us hits such as “Sour Girl,” “Push,” and “Slither” that just so happened to make us fans for life.
