Rocker Axl Rose sues Beverly Hills car dealership
Associated Press

LOS ANGELES - It's not Gun N' Roses but cars and cash that have rocker Axl Rose suing a Beverly Hills auto dealership.

The suit, filed Thursday in Los Angeles County Superior Court, claims the dealership failed to deliver two luxury cars after receiving $20,000 in deposits and also failed to give the Guns N' Roses frontman any money after selling his Ferrari.

Rose contends that Beverly Hills Classic Cars took his deposits but violated oral agreements to get him a 2004 Lamborghini Gallardo and a 2005 Porsche GT3.
The suit also contends the dealer sold his consigned 1999 Ferrari Marinello but never paid him a promised $135,000 of the proceeds.

After-hours calls to the dealer and its owner were not immediately returned Thursday night.

what is this fool doing getting so many cars

haha

(http://www.beverlyhillsclassiccars.com/inventory/1716_01.jpg)

Isn't this the car we've seen before, in the picture with Axl in front of that studio?

People get cars all the time. And it's not foolish to respond to a wrong-doing like this. If someone screwed you out of $135,000 of your own money, then you'd react too.

I think we all know what this means......................

Chinese Democracy starts................later.

It's not uncommon for the rich to collect cars as a hobby. The more money you have, the more luxuries you enjoy! Although really expensive cars wouldn't really interest me cos I'm not really into cars.

You should see Liverpool striker Cisse's collection!

I wondered how long it would take until someone said this.

Don't be ridiculous.. people have other interests outside their music/work.. I hardly think spending a few hours at a dealership will impact on progress  :hihi:

Really, it's not like he goes anywhere.

Really, it's not like he goes anywhere.

...And how do you expect him to go to court? Walking???!!! :rofl:

how come things are going so slow with such fast cars ....

I hope the master copy of Chinese wasnt left in the CD player of the Ferrari!!

It's clear: the man has a courthouse fetish ! :rofl:

It's so simple
Axl just starts the makin' of the first Video from CD ;D
Chinese Democracy starts now  :hihi:

You guys kill me !!! ? :rofl:
Some of the comments are really funny !!!! ? :hihi:

anyway, maybe that's why he got himself that BMW then?

presentes to the bandmembers maybe... We finished Chinese Democracy! Thank you guys, here`s some cars for you..  :smoking:

This master copy is more expensive than the Ferrari itself....

He does keep himself busy.....

man i wish i was Axl. being so rich u didn't even had to work. just buy cars and whatever all day...

Axl never met a lawsuit he didnt love. :hihi:

Why is it everytime we hear about Axl, it's never about CD, it's always about a damn car. :hihi: 

A Lamborgini and a Porche?  :drool:
Ah rich people...

He may not know how to release an album, but he sure knows how to sue people! In this case I'd be pretty pissy too though....

I want to cry.

at least he is still alive, that's good news :hihi:

The funniest part of this whole thing is that this story started in a Swedish newspaper about an Axl sighting at the BMW dealership.? Good thing we know somebody there that knows how to read and knows who Axl is.? ?:hihi:

Lamborghini Democracy starts soon!!!


@ Axl:? if you can get them to throw in as part of the settlement a 2005 Hyundai XG350 for me, I'd really appreciate it.?: ok:

P.S.? I'd like it in that cream color they have.

Yeah it is pretty sad. 2006 is not getting off to a good start. It looks like the yearly merry go round has once again been set on cruise control. In about 2 weeks, we'll have the yearly rumour about GNR doing a surprise appearance at the Superbowl.

 :yes: possibly...Or on a Bike?

He parted with his Ferrari and couldn't get a Lamborghini or a  Porsche.
After sitting between two cars, He has no car now. :(

How is 2006 not getting off to a good start? Just because hes suing some car dealership that ripped him off? That's really lame if you think that is going to have any affect on the album being released this year.

@ppbebe - Im fairly sure Axl still has a ton of cars lol. He had at least 3 ferrari's last year and possibly a lambo as well. Not to mention the BMW he bough afew weeks ago.

I wonder if he went off on a profane rant when he went to the dealership..........

he'll run.

Singing "I get up around seven, get out of bed around 9, then I gotta run to the courthouse so i'll be on Time, yeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaahhhh"

Maybe he bought a BMW after this dealer couldn't deliver! ?:P




/jarmo

Maybe CD won't goto the presses until it has been played and tested in every make of luxury vehicle  ;D

why an oral agreement? 

when I bought my car, I had it all in writing ???

Nice to see him active.

Indeed - the news we get about him is so fragmentry and scare you to begin to wonder if he didn't die a decade ago and no ones realised :nervous:

Because some people never learn from their mistakes.? :no:
This makes at least two times Axl's had money stolen over an oral agreement!!!? >:(
Remember the story about the girl on the tour bus who took Axl's wallet while she was giving him a bj?? :hihi:

Because he didnt get the cars at that time, he gave the dealership 20000 as a deposit and they had promised to get him the lambro and the porsche

okay then he must also have something in writing as well.
i am glad he's suing.  i'd do the same thing if someone did that to me so why should Axl be any different.

He probably has a reciet (sp) for the 20 g's and something saying as to what it's for.

Rose contends that Beverly Hills Classic Cars took his deposits but violated oral agreements to get him a 2004 Lamborghini Gallardo and a 2005 Porsche GT3.

Axl needs his own frustration thread. I'm sure he's pretty cheesed off waiting around for these cars to be delivered.

Axl wants to test CD in every car's default sound system... that's why! :)

Oral agreements?  I can't beleive a guy as savy as Axl uses the oral agreements line.  No wonder Slash and Duff are suing his ass.  He probably is basing his whole claim off an oral agreement. :rofl:

He should get a life

I think you should get a life, he is only doing what any person would do when fucked over.  ::)

Get a life?

Shit, I think Axl has way too much of a life....with stress and shit happening all the time.

I opt for him to have peace and less bullshit.

In that case, he must have a ford, GMC, Jeep, toyota, Honda, Chevrolet, citroen, mini, audi, Volkswagen etc? and a hyundai, as gypsy suggested, in the garage. :confused:


Hmmm I was wondering how he goes to the courthouse.
Now I wonder How he washes so many cars and Keeps them in good repair. :confused:

Cut the crap. Maybe you guys are jealous because you guys can't afford expensive cars

Actually they ARE going to be at the SB this year....I heard it from an inside source.

Buying cars, sueing, being sued...how about starting a small war somewhere and celebrate the victory by releasing cd?

He bicycles.

There has to be days when axl wakes up and thinks "screw being a rockstar , I'm gunna get my legal degree and become a lawyer!!" .... the guy just seems to have a never ending set of lawsuits that either he has started or has been started against him. Wow.

And fast cars , sigh , any other day I would be all smiles thinking about fast cars but I just got nailed with a big speeding ticket today in my Dakota R/T Truck. (yeah , truck , but dont feel too confident speedy , 5.9 liter magnum stuffed in a tiny dakota frame = too much speed with lil throttle effort)

*sigh*  This is my second speeding ticket in 3 months and it's getting costly. Maybe if I had Axl's money it wouldnt matter. lol.

Sorry , off topic ....

On topic , Axl has good taste in cars , thats fer sure!!!  : ok:

My off topic rant stops now!

Snap! :D
That's what I initially thought of. however...there was an alternative coming up...


:rofl:
If you see a man running about Malibu with lightning speed singing the song, hooray!  It's an Axl sighting!

Or alternatively?

could be The third alternative is swimming.

BTW, When did he start driving a car? ??? Just out of curiousity.

Well, I'm sorry but "stress and shit happening all the time" is not something that I would call a life... :no:

oh i guess we misintrepreted you.

you thought he should get a life as in having a problem free life.

i agree

Well, his problems are the consequences of his actions. I'm not saying Axl is not to blame, although I feel pity for him... :(

Some people are their own worst enemy I will agree, however no matter how hard you try to make your life easy and hassle free, there will always be some things out of your control which you have to deal with and contest.

Now, Axl can empathize with how pissed off his fans feel about waiting . . . and never getting the goods . .  . :hihi:

I was think the same thing.

The difference is that Axl doesn't owe us anything and is under no obligation to deliver anything to us  ;)

He should challenge the Dealership owner to a fight.  :rofl:

Axl Guns for Car Dealership

by Josh Grossberg

Axl Rose has an axe to grind over some missing wheels.

The reclusive Guns N' Roses frontman has turned his appetite for destruction on a Beverly Hills auto dealership, targeting it with a lawsuit over a deal gone bad.

Rose claims that he had an oral agreement with Beverly Hills Classic Cars to deliver two luxury sports cars after he paid a deposit of $20,000, per the suit filed Thursday in Los Angeles County Superior Court.

But, the "Patience" purveyor says, the dealer never made good on the promised 2004 Lamborghini Gallardo and a 2005 Porsche GT3.

Further, Rose says, the dealer failed to pay him $135,000 for selling his Ferrari Marinello on consignment.

The owners of Beverly Hills Classic Cars were out of town at the Detroit Auto Show and could not be reached for comment.

The flame-haired rocker was also not immediately available to discuss his suit. But that's nothing new. He's been lying low these days since his 2002 Guns N' Roses comeback tour, featuring a revamped lineup, imploded.

The ill-fated road show was supposed to support the Gunners' seemingly mythical Chinese Democracy album, but it remains unfinished with no release in sight.

Former Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash recently told a Philadelphia radio station that he had heard Rose was planning a March unveiling for Chinese Democracy. However, according to Guns N' Roses management, no date has been set.

Slash also said that while he and Rose weren't speaking, they were no longer feuding.

As for Rose, he's had as much success in lawsuits of late as he has putting out a new Guns N' Roses album.

In 2004, he was on the losing end of two legal decisions. He lost a bid for an injunction blocking Geffen Records' from putting out Guns N' Roses Greatest Hits, and he was also outgunned in court when he tried to stop the release of Cleopatra Records' The Roots of Guns N' Roses, a collection of tracks he recorded with the bad before their multiplatinum 1987 breakthrough, Appetite for Destruction.

The news had made top story in Australia too! Check out http://news.ninemsn.com.au/ and Axl is on top of the Top Strories!

http://news.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=81260

Wow, this is interesting. It's sure nice to hear something about Axl though, even if it does have a negative effect about him not getting what the dealership was suppose to deliver! ?:rant:......but hey never know, he may be on a snippet of a show like "extra" or something of the sort ????

here we go round the malberry bush ,again with the law suits lol.

A New was song was just added to the Chinese Democracy tracklist.

"Get In the Courtroom"

Lyrics

"This goes out to all you car dealers out there who keep ripping off us millionaires who pay our easily earned money"

"Yeah you Beverly Hills Classic Cars, Fuck you, get your bitchy little ass in the Courtroom and i'll litigate your fuckin ass"

the fucking ignorance in here...

You think Axl Rose just wanted some car? We are talking about Axl here motherfuckers. Damn, do I have to spell everything out?

Its clear he wanted one of the ones that came from the planet Cybertron. The problem was that they gave him one that transformed into a robot. Fucking idiots. He said he wanted the one that transformed into a blue Pegasus.

They gave him Omicron! :o

Well... Seems like every new gnr news is now related to Axl's cars. :P

I did toss around the idea of using "now", but I realize how old the joke was.........So I made it slightly different. My attitude was, someone's gonna say it, might as well be me.

Does it make anyone else pissed off that the only legitimate news we can get about Axl is about some fucking cars he wanted.  God forbid if he actually leaves his cave to comment on this with no update regarding Chinese Democracy.  :rant:

jesus, the sooner the accept the fact that this album is never going to come out the sooner you will start to feel better.

As for Axl getting ripped off or whatever... I would most certainly do the same thing.

Shame his fans have lost faith  :(  2006, 2007.. I will keep my faith in Axl. If you choose not to believe it will come out that's cool, but some choose otherwise..

That's not true.  By not delivering the record Axl has violated oral agreements ("See you next summer", etc).  I say we all get together and file a lawsuit.  :peace:  :hihi:

axl and his lawsuits... Enough with this bullshit put out an album

it even made yahoo entertainment news : http://www.yahoo.com/

Well that rir comment came true didnt it? He did indeed see the fans the next summer while he played shows in Asia and Europe. So your wrong. : ok:

Oh no, Axl promised the album multiple times and told at least the year of the release, but sometimes even the year and the month. Just for the people here who don't remember.

Really? I didn't know you had put down a deposit for the new record. and you handed over your old records to him, perhaps? Then, sue him!

Right, I will call my lawyer right now!  Because I was totally serious with my last post.  No really, I was.  :hihi:  :rofl:

Dumbass.  :beer:

So axl caught a cab to that korn launch party? :yes:

Uh no he never promised the album would be out in a certain year or month. What he said was we are aiming for, or we hope to have it out by. Those arent promises, they are gueses.

Why get a Gallardo and not a Murcielago?

I don't think so. the car in the pic is a Ferarri F430, and the one outside the studio was a F360.
Although similar looking, they are different vehicles.

Either way, dark grey don'y look too hot. Give me red anyday  ;) or a white F50 (in my dreams  ;D )

I'm afraid you haven't learned anything communication-related. If you say

Ditch: You've really, you've... It sounds like really nurtured relationships with these guys, and the new disc "Chinese Democracy". Umm, do you have any idea when the fruits of those labours will come to harvest?

Axl: Uhh, sometime during the next year. (2002)

It means that CD will come out next year. And it's a promise. If I say to a girl that 'I'll love you forever' than it's a promise equal to the  sentence 'I promise I'll love you forever', I mean 'promise-wise'.

Or

Although this, the performance at Rock In Rio was the target of some criticizism from Axl. According to him, his voice was not at his best because of lack of sleep and the band needs to adjust the sound to these great shows. The expectations of the band turns now to the new album, "Chinese Democracy", which will be released in June. The leader guarantees his fans that they will be rewarded for the long wait. (2001)  :rofl:

http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/articles/showarticle.php?articleid=37
Do you think the guy made up the whole story?

DJ: When is it gonna be the new album? Is it possible that we're gonna have a new record from Guns N' Roses?

Axl: Yes, I've heard. Um, hopefully we will put out a new single umm sometime this spring and then the record gonna be done in June or shortly thereafter. (2001)

http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/articles/showarticle.php?articleid=39

Etc, etc, etc I don't have the energy to post it again and again for those who have the tendency to forget Axl's words.

Like it or don't, Axl's words ain't mean shit when it comes to CD.

Now back to topic.

He doesn't wash his own cars that's the thing....

Surely you didn't think Beta just did Axl's laundry, housecleaning, and even cut the crusts off his peanut butter and jelly sandwhiches did you...?

She's out in the stable 8 hours a day scrubbing his collection with a diaper :hihi:

In all seriousness though, It's understandable and highly predictable of Axl to sue these assholes over the $ they owe him..

Im glad he enjoys his cars, but it also makes me nauseous knowing how that a celebrity like him doesnt even hesitate when spending that kinda dough on a mere car when there are millions of homeless and starving people out there who could use that money to get back on their feet... :-\

this story was even news today on a big german tv channel "pro 7".  in a show called "taff"....  really great to see axl on TV.  by the way they didn`t show anything new....

"suggested" - no? :no:? ? .......... shameless begging - YES!!!? :yes:
I really do need a new car and that's the one I want.? :P

but anyways .....

W. Axl Rose Lawsuit
LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 23, 2006--Following the filing last week of a lawsuit brought by W. Axl Rose against Andy Cohen and Beverly Hills Classic Cars there have been a number of questions from the media. In response to those questions Mr Rose's attorney Howard Weitzman commented, "Andy Cohen, owner of Beverly Hills Classic Cars defrauded Axl out of more than $150,000. Mr. Cohen sold one of Axl's cars and pocketed the money as well as keeping a $20,000 deposit on two cars he committed to order on Axl's behalf but failed to do so. We are suing to recover the money that Mr. Cohen converted for his own personal use and are asking for punitive damages to be awarded because of the intentional breach of contract and theft committed by the defendants. Over a period of 4 years Axl bought a number of cars from Mr. Cohen and had built what he thought was a trusting relationship with him. It is unfortunate that Mr. Cohen abused that trust and not only failed to deliver on his promises but also took over $150,000 of Axl's money. Axl has reluctantly sued because Mr. Cohen continually represented to Axl over the better part of a year that he would repay the money and broke each promise for repayment leaving Axl no choice but to file this complaint to get his money returned."

"#5.  Axl Rose sues auto dealership for allegedly not delivering two luxury cars.  You know our boy Axl.  He likes fast cars, fast women, fast exits from public consciousness..."

Since when is Axl Entertainment Weekly's boy??? ???

Funny I don't see them running articles on him WEEKLY! The man has to have trouble in his life before anyone will report it. The media Sucks! :rant:

is Axl doin something else more interesting than sueing car dealerships? i don't think so. so what should they report about axl other than that? how he was a great rock star and how CD might come out this century?
until he does anything relevant in music or whatever he won't get articles. good one's that is.
it's not the media you should be angry at.

I haven't read this magazine often in ?recent years, but they used to always be pro-GNR, and always gave GNR albums rave reviews. They were actually one of the only media outlets to give any attention to TSI. This magazine mostly deals with movies, music, and celebrities that have things happening in the present. When CD is released, this is one of the magazines guaranteed to have an Axl cover, and more than likely a very favorable review of CD. : ok:

i think CD will speak for itself : ok:

but some nice reviews are fine, too......     

by the way it seems to me that except for some stupid radio dj`s, the media reconciled with axl. i think when cd comes out they`ll even be hungry to report it.... like the rolling stone and his axl interview....

The car dealership should be lucky ALL that Axl is doing is sueing them and not going down there and exlpoding on them like the ticking time bomb he is.

How dumb can the car dealer be? No way he was going to get away with it.  Screwing over a higher profile customer  like Axl is guaranteeing it hits the papers has got to be bad for business.

Maybe it is just me, but maybe the car dealer just wants some free publicity?  I mean he probalby knows that messing with Axl will cause media attention. 

I dont know, would you buy from a dealer who tries to screw over a customer?

didn't GypsySoul post this with a cartoon picture too?

Yes, threads merged!





/jarmo

bad publicity is better than no publicity :-[ :-X :-\ :no:.....................

i guess this doesn`t fit......

I don't know... Ask to Mr. Andy Cohen : www.beverlyhillsclassiccars.com

I just hope all this gets settled and Axl either gets his cars or his money back.

What a way to kick off the new year :-\
