Axl Rose Arrested for Biting
Axl Rose may never follow up...um, what is Chinese Democracy supposed to be the follow-up to again? Use Your Illusion? The Spaghetti Incident? Bro's horrendous performance at the MTV Video Music Awards way back in '02? Point is, he may constantly "disappoint" "fans" by shelving and delaying the release of the album, but Axl will be adding to his string of ridiculous arrests until the very end.
The latest masterpiece in what will eventually prove to be his life's work occurred in Stockholm, Sweden at eight o'clock this morning when a drunk Rose "allegedly" bit a security guard's leg, according to the Associated Press. The security guard was a representative of the Berns Hotel-- where Rose was staying after last night's show with the "reformed" "Guns 'N Roses"-- intervening on the behalf of a woman Rose was arguing with in the lobby.
Towe Hagg, the spokeswoman for the Stockholm police that arrested and are holding Rose on suspicion of attacking and threatening the security guard in addition to causing damage to the hotel at the site of the "alleged" confrontation, was quoted as saying Axl "was deemed too intoxicated to be questioned right away." He will face questioning when he is sober enough, and then the decision of whether or not to press charges will be made.
In the meantime, will someone just give this guy a reality show already? It's about the only thing he's good for at this point.
If you're not scared away by Rose's choice of a post-show snack, you can see the spectacle for yourself at one of the nü-Guns' tour dates below.
