Slash Comments On Axl's Lawsuit Against Former Manager
Former Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash has commented on the countersuit filed by his former GN'R bandmate, Axl Rose, against the singer's former manager, Irving Azoff, claiming that Azoff tried to bully Rose into doing a reunion tour with the original Guns lineup.
Speaking to VH1 Radio Networks' Dave Basner, Slash stated about Rose's countersuit, "I don't even know what that's about. I don't know where Axl is coming from. I mean, I know where Irving is coming from — he's looking for commissions for a tour that he booked. [It's a] pretty reasonable kind of thing. Axl's countersuing, so I'm not sure exactly what the merit is that he's countersuing, exactly. Anyways, I don't keep up with that, I don't follow it."

Guns N’ Roses to Play Charity Event in Moscov?
“We don’t wake up for less than $10,000 a day,” supermodel Linda Evangelista famously told Vogue back in 1990. But British supermodel Naomi Campbell will work for free, although she expects Muscovites to cough up 5,000 euros ($6,350), when she makes her debut in the city as hostess of her NEON charity event Monday.
Guns N’ Roses will play the event organizers say will be a combination of fashion show, award ceremony and entertainment show, and a host of celebrities are expected attend. Organizers said earlier in the week that Aerosmith might also play, but they denied that on Wednesday.

Guns N’ Roses have postponed their concerts in Zagreb and Belgrade (scheduled for June 20 and 22, respectively) until September.

The date for the rescheduled gig in Zagreb (which is in Croatia, geography fans) is not yet known.

Axl Rose Slams Irving Azoff in $5 million Countersuit
In late March, when Guns n' Roses' former managers sued Axl Rose over a $1.9 million unpaid tour commission, the band's notoriously cantankerous leader remained uncharacteristically quiet. But today Rose responded to the suit filed by Irving Azoff's Front Line Management with a $5 million countersuit that includes some stunning claims.
Rose says that during Azoff's short tenure as Gn'R's manager, Azoff secretly tried to hatch a plan to trick Rose into reuniting with his former Guns n' Roses bandmates for a tour, TMZ reports.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Rose's filing goes on to argue that Azoff used his strong influence in the industry to try to "bully" the frontman, and ultimately "resigned and abandoned Guns n' Roses on the eve of a major tour, filing suit for commissions he didn't earn and had no right to receive."
