Probably because it wasn't worth it.
There were grounds, because he attacked their character. But it was probably because Get In The Ring didn't get as much exposure as other songs, because it was never released as a single.

The issue of whether there were grounds or not; moreover, whether any slights were damaging enough to warrant reparations, is debatable. The only thing Axl was guilty of was calling out certain journalists for printing, what Axl and the rest of the band perceived, fabrications and lies. In order for such journalists to win a lawsuit based on slander, they would have to prove that what they printed was indeed fact. Considering no such lawsuits were made, one could assume that none of said journalists were too confident in proving the validity of what they wrote about Guns N' Roses was 100% accurate. Furthermore, the fact that Axl says "bands" also gives his lawyers legal outs as they'd simply have to point to instances when any of such journalists misrepresented any band, not just Guns N' Roses. To win a slander case, you have to prove that your character was unjustly attacked and damaged. Nothing in Get in The Ring goes beyond anything that would be considered skin deep afflictions.
Cheers,
Andrew

^agreed there..shame there is no live footage of it..
funny fact:
Guccione (a nine year karate student) actually responded in a letter to Axl Rose, saying that he accepted the challenge. However, no fight ever occurred.
(haha..so it wasn't THAT serious

The song was never performed live. They cut in the studio, then layed over an audience sound.

Genius song though.. makes me laugh each time.
It's how all the artists feel when lies are printed about them.. Axl just had the balls to get it out there.

Can't remember what show, but Gn'R had the crowd chant "get in the ring" until they had enough to put in the beginning of the song. It was obviously before the UYIs came out.

Okay, that's probably the answer to the best GNR trivia question I've heard in a long time.
GITR's chant...what show? Saratoga Springs, NY 1991. Very cool. To those who were there:
