Saw this posted over at HTGTH. Irving seems to be acting like a little bitch in court.

Flying files in Axl Rose-Irving Azoff lawsuit
Files were flying in the messy lawsuit between Axl Rose and Irving Azoff, CEO and majority shareholder of Front Line, which was acquired by Ticketmaster in 2008. During a deposition, court papers recently filed by Rose's lawyer say, Azoff threw a stack of papers at lawyer Skip Miller, ripped off his own microphone and stormed out of the room when questioned about the merger between Ticketmaster and Live Nation and how it would concentrate power in the music industry. In March, Azoff sued Rose, claiming that he owed 15 percent of the earnings from a Guns N' Roses reunion tour. Rose says Azoff used his power to "bully him . . . to reuinite with the original members of Guns N' Roses for a reunion tour by purposefully neglecting and failing to market and promote" the band's first album in 15 years, "Chinese Democracy," but with new members apart from Rose, papers filed in LA Superior Court say.
This might end up being a very big deal. His actions prove it.

For the musicindustry, it would be interesting to see how this plays out in court.
For Axl's sake, I hope they settle out of court...
