Axl loses again

For the third time within 12 months, Los Angeles-based Cleopatra Records has prevailed in court against singer Axl Rose, who tried to sue the label in June 2004 for releasing an album entitled Hollywood Rose: The Roots Of Guns N' Roses.

The album featured the singer and other members of the infamous rock band, pre-GN'R days. This week, on May 23, 2005, Judge Gary Allen Feess, Judge of the United States District Court for the Central District of California, awarded Cleopatra Records' request for attorneys' fees and costs in the amount of $24,176.38.
