Title: Fist Swinging Rockers have a brawl Post by: RichardNixon on August 26, 2004, 06:13:30 PM http://www.jsonline.com/onwisconsin/music/feb04/206189.asp
3. Axl Rose For sheer hair-trigger combustibility, few can equal the notorious Guns N' Roses front man. During the band's late-'80s heyday, I once asked a Milwaukee venue manager about his plans to book the famously unstable rockers. "The thing you have to remember about Axl Rose," he said, "is that he's a sociopath. But we can work with that." Rose's gentle disposition evidenced itself early. He was arrested more than 20 times back home in Indiana and, in his pre-superstar days, he once landed in intensive care after an ill-considered flareup with Los Angeles police. Rose's most-celebrated combat came in 1991, when he leaped into the crowd at a St. Louis concert to accost a camera-toting fan. In the ensuing hourlong riot, more than 50 people were injured, and hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages were caused to the venue. If being a Rose fan is dangerous, living near Axl also has some risk. In 1990, he was arrested for smacking a neighbor over the head with a wine bottle after she complained about him playing his music too loud. Perhaps Rose's most amusing punch-out occurred when he clobbered a businessman in a Chicago bar for referring to him as "a Bon Jovi look-alike."

Haha, that's a classic ;D If there's any worse insult than that, I don't know about it.
