Welcome to The Overpriced Tube Top Jungle

It seems Axl Rose and Tommy Hilfiger got into a little scuffle this weekend in New York City. I know what you're thinking - and you're incorrect. They were NOT arguing over the release date of the long-UNawaited Guns 'n Roses album "Chinese Democracy". Nor were they arguing over Tommy's uninspired, urban-pandering campaign to take fashion down one logo tube-top at a time. It turns out they were arguing because Axl moved Tommy's girlfriend's drink so it wouldn't spill on him. The best part? Definitely the quote:

"It was the most surreal thing, I think, that's ever happened to me in my life."

I would like to note that this particular quote was not made by Tommy Hilfiger, but by Axl himself. Take a moment to think about that. Axl Rose thinks that getting slapped around by Tommy Hilfiger was the most surreal thing that's ever happened to him. Apparently he was too wasted to remember those years that we all had to endure the videos for "Don't Cry", "November Rain", and "Estranged". Nor does he recall inciting riots in St. Louis and Montreal after walking off-stage in the middle of concerts. Nor does he remember wearing American flag biking shorts in public.

All in all, I think getting slapped around by Tommy Hilfiger is the LEAST surreal thing that's ever happened to Axl Rose. I only hope that this is just the beginning of crusty remnants of late 80's rock getting pushed around by bland fashion designers. I can hardly wait to hear about Chip Z'nuff's eventual ass-beating at the hands of Ralph Lauren.
