Slash & Duff to sue Axl!

[justynius]

Hey Guys...

Since this is getting kind of long and the link to the actual lawsuit changes a lot from what was originally being discussed in the first ten or so pages, I created a new topic. I think I speak for the board when I say it would be appreciated if the discussion could move over to the fresh topic.

I don't get this...Slash and Duff owns GNR and has for the past nine years let Axl have his way regarding GNR buisness and now the suddenly want it all back...EVERYTHING (including paper clips) that has been stolen from them? How fucked up have they've been? Axl and his legal team have been doing unathorized GNR buisness for nine years? Intentionally or unintentionally? Hard to tell from our point whats legally wrong o right int the matter but...at this time? Slash and Duff have wifes and kids and are supposed to have carreers and now they want it all. Wrong or right?

No, you got it right.  The only question is why all of a sudden now?
You have to laugh though at the lawyers representing Slash and Duff....just by the name, you can tell they are shady.  And what is that figure on the first page?  The price it cost to file this thing?

Word of advice to everyone on here.......think twice about going into business with your friends

Excellent point... a good portion of that lawsuit seeks punative damages, which definitely imply intent. It's going to be pretty hard for Slash/Duff to claim Axl HAS been intentionally making Old GN'R decisions illegally, and they (Slash/Duff) are just figuring it out despite obvious involvement disagreeing with Axl's decisions at the time they were made. The center of the lawsuit - Axl is no longer involved in the GN'R partnership - may hold some basis, but as far as the punative aspect, I do not think Slash/Duff have a leg to stand on.
