In the August 2005 issue of Q magazine, there is an article on the 50 Biggest Villains in the music industry, or the "git-list"? as they alternatively refer to it:

50. Sizzla
49. Recording Industry Association of America
48. Mark Morrison
47. Jon Bon Jovi
46. R. Kelly
45. Peter Andre
44. Lars Ulrich
43. Mike Love
42. Richard Ashcroft
41. Lou Reed
40. Mutya Buena & Keisha Buchanan, Sugababes
39. Kid Rock
38. David Geffen
37. Gene simmons
36. Paul Simon
35. Tricky
34. Phil Spector
33. Allen Klein
32. Kate Moss
31. Wolfman
30. Don Henley
29. Charles Simpson
28. Tom Jones
27. Spice Girls
26. Beyonce Knowles
25. Sid Vicious
24. Peter Grant
23. Ike Turner
22. Billy Corgan
21. Ivan Shapovalov
20. Miles Davis
19. P. Diddy
18. Eric Clapton

17. Axl Rose

WHY? Rewrote the book on rock star petulance. Penned questionable lines like "immigrants and faggots, they make no sense to me" (from One in a Million), faced allegations of assault from ex-wife Erin Everly and girlfriend Stephanie Seymour, and reduced Guns N' Roses to an immobile vanity project after refusing to continue 1991's Illusion tour until his soon-to-be-ex-bandmates signed over the name. His manager even took Slash's name off the guestlist for Guns N' Roses' 2001 comeback show claiming he didn't want Axl to feel 'uncomfortable'.
MOST DASTARDLY DEED:
According to ex-girlfriend Stephanie Seymour, he once dragged her barefoot through broken glass.

16. Don Arden
15. Simon Cowell
14. Tommy Lee
13. Damon Dash
12. Colonel Tom Parker
11. Jennifer Lopez
10. Rick James
09. Fred Durst
08. Malcolm McLaren
07. Chuck Berry
06. Sting
05. Dianna Ross
04. Suge Knight
03. Simon Fukker
02. Courtney Love
01. Michael Jackson

There's another obvious Axl reference in a questionaire that asks Are you a villain?
One of the questions is:

The other members of my band are ...

A. My best friends.

B. A bunch of no-talent fools who I would dearly love to replace with sycophantic session musicians on the minimum wage.

All a bit of fun, I like Q magazine, lighthearted but also informative.

The people that bring up the one in a million thing as a bad thing about Axl really do not understand the song at all. And other singers have said far worst in songs.? Instead of picking out that one like or the N line, why not listen to the whole song and understand what he is singing about. As for his alleged abuse of steph and erin, lets hope if those were true, that he got help for that.

but its common knowledge if your white and you sing the N-word in your song your gonna get in shit. he knew obviously a shit storm would happen and in my opinion did it just for that controversy.
