Axl Rose Fights Paparazzo — Video

Just as Axl Rose and Guns N' Roses were rocking hundreds of rock-starved Taiwanese from a stage in Taipei with classic tracks like 'Paradise City' and 'Welcome to the Jungle,' grainy video footage surfaced online of the band's frontman allegedly assaulting a paparazzo.

By now, you've probably heard that Axl Rose got into it with a photographer at Los Angeles International Airport on his way to catch a plan to Taiwan. Guns is in Asia for a string of dates as part of the band's 'Chinese Democracy' World Tour. Rose arrived at the airport with a woman, and when paparazzi tried to snap photos of her, she confronted the photogs. Rose allegedly started throwing punches at them and claims he was "accosted by an unruly group" of paparazzi, and characterized the attack as "unprovoked.

Now you can actually watch Rose at LAX delivering a brutal beat down to the photographer's noggin. Leading up to the scrap, Axl warned the paparazzi to back away from one of the women in his entourage, saying, "Touch her again, I'll break his f---ing neck."

In the video, we can then see the woman wrestling with the photog, and Axl comes out of nowhere, like a man on a mission -- and starts swinging.

The paparazzo ended up on the floor, and Axl proceeded to kick him like a soccer ball. The extent of the paparazzo's injuries, if there were any, is not known. After the incident, Rose's people led him away and off to the gate. The matter was never reported to airport police.
