SLASH, DUFF Vs AXL ROSE: Court Documents Available Online

June 10, 2004

The actual court documents filed by former GUNS N' ROSES members Slash (guitar) and Duff McKagan (bass) against the band's lead singer, Axl Rose, in connection with their claim that he ripped them off to the tune of at least a million dollars are available for download in PDF format at this location (file size: 1.3 MB).

As previously reported, Duff and Slash claim in their lawsuit that Rose doesn't have any controlling interest in the songs, but they say he killed deals that would have put their tunes in a half dozen movies, including "Just Married", "We Were Soldiers", "Death to Smoochie" and "Old School". In addition, Rose allegedly squashed a deal to allow the producers of the movie "Black Hawk Down" to use the band's huge hit, "Welcome to the Jungle" in the film. Instead, he wanted to re-record it, thereby allegedly cheating his ex-band mates out of the licensing fee.
