Vince Neil and Guns N Roses

[Tronx]

Thanks to Kid Rock’s sissy backhand to Tommy Lee's head at this years VMA's. The topic of 'Top Rock N Roll Fights' has been given renewed interest, and the folks at Music Blend have weighed in with a list of the top 5. And coming in at number 5 is Vince Neil vs Guns N' Roses.


The Backstory:. During the 1989 MTV Video Music Awards, former Guns N Roses guitarist Izzy Stradlin reportedly hit on Motley Crue lead singer Vince Neil’s wife. After the incident was reported to Neil, the enraged frontman vaulted on stage and cold cocked Stradlin all up in his face. Within a few seconds, security had broken up the altercation and each man headed out for a long night of boozing.

Aftermath: A few days later, an infuriated Axl Rose appeared on MTV and challenged Vince Neil to a parking lot brawl. The offer was soon accepted, but a location could never be agreed upon. Axl’s revenge never took place and both men parted bitter enemies. They reportedly still hate each other, and if God has a sense of humor, he’ll send a chance meeting and a few beers to each of them.

Why You Should Care: Believe it or not, these two idiots were quite possibly in the two most popular bands of the late 1980s. Today, it would be like Chad Kroeger of Nickleback and Pete Wentz of Fall Out Boy throwing haymakers. I’m getting excited just thinking about those two effeminate douche bags socking each other in the eyeballs right now. Neil clearly gets the decision on account of throwing the only punch, but had Axl and Vince ever squared off, I’d have to give the edge to Motley Crue. At the time, betting odds seemed to be heavily in Axl’s favor, but how do you bet on the man that wrote “November Rain?” That doesn’t make any sense at all.

What? Does that not make sense to anyone else?

Yeah, they're saying that they can't bet on Axl because November Rain is a ballad and not "rock." Lame ass shit considering all of the rock GN'R put out versus the tunes that Motley Crew produced.

[Chase the Ace]

mmmm Motley Crue have ballads aswell. Personally I'd bet on Axl for the sole reason that right now he is much bigger than Vince.

As for the rticle eh I've heard it thousands of times
