Axl doesn't hate Don't Cry.  There is a rumour that some guy is suing GN'R over the rights to the song and that is why Axl can't perform it live.

    i heard that shit too but i guess it's a lie cuz izzy could do something to protect his song as well, guess something so fuckin' wrong is behind this rare situation

I got a chance to hear a copy of the song that supposedly they ripped off and it does have a strange similarity...but I think its pure coincidence.

Doesn't Axl own the rights ?

[Demon]

I love that song...the original, not the alternate lyrics version.

err...my band plays MOSTLY covers, and we perform stuff live.  it's not a problem at all.

[Bhakti]

Yeah dont think there is a issue with playing live unless the band has been barred from it by the courts until the matter is settled.
Off the topic does Axl Rose have kids? i mean as silly as it may sound but does the guy have a legacy he can pass on too, like a son or a daughter to carry the Rose Name?
just curious!!!

Here is a story describing the Don't Cry lawsuit.  It is unclear how this lawsuit was resolved, or if it ever was.

As for royalties, that responsibility falls on the venue hosting the live performance, not the band performing.  So, for example, when GN'R played MSG in 2002, MSG was responsible for the royalties paid to Axl, Slash, Duff, Izzy, Steven, West Arkeen, Bob Dylan, Paul and Linda McCartney, Buckethead (and the writers of the songs he covered in his solo) and whichever members have writing credits on the new songs played.  In practice, most venues pay a flat fee for a license to host live performances of literally millions of songs.  More info can be found here about the licensing scheme.
