izzydoezit Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Axl has made big lawsuits for much lesser matters such as the Activision case. The RNRHOF presented and broadcasted the old (real) GNR as Guns N' Roses which is a name legally owned by GNR. They made money off of this.Isn't it strange if Axl has done nothing to legally move against the HOF? Or has he already done his moves? Please discuss.

Guest bellastar2355 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I'd be lying if that thought didn't cross my mind, but I think he just didn't want anyone to accept on his behalf. Since no one did (I don't even think anyone mentioned him by name) I think he just got over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
izzydoezit Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 Yes, but the guys played the HOF event as "Guns N' Roses". Legally they are not GNR. And the HOF profited from this broadcast and probably made a lot of money. This is my point. Why did Axl let them get away with this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly he said that not going to the RNRHOF was met with praise (even though the feelings were mixed) so maybe he just wants to leave it at that...Or maybe he's fixing up the lawsuit now loldon't give him any ideas izzydoezit!

Guest NGOG Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Because Axl, like most, probably doesn't take the authority of the modern day 'Hall of Fame' seriously. It's a corporate joke that a very limited audience pays attention to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a corporate joke that a very limited audience pays attention to.We are discussing the financial issue.He bothered to deal with Activision over a fuckin' video game. The HOF is a bigger deal whether Axl takes is seriously or not. Is he taking Guitar Hero's authority more seriously?

Maybe he's getting money out of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bansidhe Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 To be fair to the lads who played at the RNRHOF, they never came on and said "We're Guns N' Roses". They played as 4 of them were integral members of old guns and clearly wanted to acknowledge their time as part of that. The additional players there allowed them to perform the songs. It was only by chance that the Green Day bloke actually announced them as "Guns N' Roses". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest NGOG Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Is he taking Guitar Hero's authority more seriously?It was then a major gaming franchise very popular among mainstream gamers. You can't compare the then reach of Guitar Hero to the Hall of Fame. And obviously Guitar Hero was a much bigger financial matter than the Hall of Fame. I don't think Axl cares about the nostalgia of the Hall of Fame where middle age men get a rare opportunity to put on leather trousers again among their peers. Whereas Guitar Hero, specifically the third installment of the game which gripped the gaming population for the first time, was very important in terms of who it influenced/and was bought by.

maynard Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 GNR was great on RnR HoF, every rock n' roll felt good by watching those guys together playing their songs. Except Axl and his army of hate and bitterness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
