Axl Rose screws over former G'n'R bandmates to the tune of $19 million

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,146037,00.html

Rock recluse Axl Rose has signed a multimillion dollar publishing deal, and that isn't sitting well with his former Guns N' Roses bandmates.

The deal with music powerhouse Sanctuary Group covers both the back catalogue, which includes hits such as "Sweet Child of Mine," "Paradise City" and "November Rain," as well as Rose's future material, including dozens of new tracks he recently recorded for Universal Music.

Former members Slash (Saul Hudson) and Duff (Michael) McKagan, now part of the band Velvet Revolver (search), filed a lawsuit against Rose last year over who controls the rights to the old GNR songs. The suit is still pending.

Industry experts have valued the 20-year deal at about $19 million. Guess a Guns N' Roses reunion won't be happening anytime soon.
