Axl Rose allegedly bites security guard

STOCKHOLM, Sweden - Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose was arrested in Stockholm early Tuesday after allegedly biting a security guard in the leg outside his hotel, police said.
Rose — who performed in the Swedish capital on Monday evening — was being held on suspicion of attacking and threatening the guard, as well as causing damage to the Berns Hotel where the alleged scuffle took place, police spokeswoman Towe Hagg said.
Hagg told The Associated Press that Rose was intoxicated during the confrontation, which broke out around 8 a.m., and would face questioning after he sobers up.
"He was deemed too intoxicated to be questioned right away," she said.
A prosecutor will then decide whether to press charges against him, Hagg also said.
It was unclear what caused the fight, but Swedish tabloids said the guard tried to intervene when Rose started arguing with a woman in the hotel lobby.
Fredrik Nylen, one of the police officers who helped arrest Rose, was quoted by the daily Aftonbladet Web site as saying that the singer acted aggressively toward police and had to be "handcuffed and restrained" in the hotel.
"He kept a high profile, so to speak," Nylen was quoted as saying.
Guns N' Roses played a concert in Stockholm's Globe Arena Monday night, and had been partying at a well-known night club before the scuffle, Aftonbladet said.
Good to know that after all this time, nothing has changed. This guy STILL hasn't grown up.
Wrong!
Appetite for Destruction is one of the best hard rock albums ever.
Axl, Slash, Izzy and the rest of the band rocked the late 80s.
She is one beautiful woman.
I was eating dinner one night on a patio in Harvard Square. She walked through the courtyard and every man stopped eating. Most women too. She has very long legs and walks like a gazelle. Stunning.
You go girl.
You tell 'em!
Or, how about (in your best Clouseau voice);
Closeau: "Does you Axl bite?"
Guard: "No"
Axl: "Grrrrbitebiteruffbite...."
Closeau: "I thought you said your Axl doesn't bite?"
Guard: "That is not my Axl"
At least it was a security guard, and not a Beverly Hills Cop.
"Axl Rose Bites Axel Foley."
LOL!
I will give GnR some credit. They brought mediocre rock mainstream. Only VH was more over-rated!
"Only VH was more over-rated!"
Perhaps...The sad thing is both bands were crippled by their own dysfunctonality.
I love old Van Halen.
Music is subjective; so you listen to what you like and I'll listen to what I like and leave it at that.
We'll agree to disagree.
Axl's always had a case of the fugs.
