Axl Guns for Car Dealership

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.

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! ?......but hey never know, he may be on a snippet of a show like "extra" or something of the sort ?

[horsey]

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

[noizzynofuture]

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"

[Buddha_Master]

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.

[Voodoochild]

They gave him Omicron!

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

[Mama Kin]

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

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

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?

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.

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..

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

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

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.   

[mikegiuliana]

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

[Wooody]

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!

[Grass]

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

Dumbass.
