Axl Rose's Guitar Hero 3 lawsuit dismissed
The last vestige of Guns N Roses lead singer Axl Rose's lawsuit against Activision has been dismissed, reports the San Marino Tribune. Originally filed in 2010, Rose's suit alleged that Guitar Hero 3 associated the song "Welcome to the Jungle" with former GNR guitarist Slash. According to Rose, the association constituted both fraud and breach of contract.
The judge tossed the fraud claim out of court last year, as the statute of limitations had expired. According to today's report, Judge Charles Palmer has dismissed the breach of contract claim as well.
Thus ends another case in the litany of lawsuits filed against Activision over its music games. Let's recount, shall we?
Oh, and as for the Guitar Hero franchise itself: Dead.
