Axl's Greatest Moments

In anticipation of this weekend's release of Guns N' Roses' new album, Chinese Democracy, VH1.com gives us this list of Axl Rose's "Most Amazing MTV Moments".

"October 24, 1987: Guns N' Roses Trash "Headbangers Ball"

This is GN'R's first-ever appearance on MTV, and they definitely made a lasting impression, especially on "Headbangers" host Asher Benrubi (who, incidentally, looks like a cross between Ron Jeremy and your aunt's pontoon-boat-owning boyfriend). After a perfunctory interview (Axl mostly just scowls and wears a leather fedora), GN'R are given 30 seconds to "redecorate" the studio, at which point all hell breaks loose. Axl displays his superhuman strength by hoisting a casket-shaped riser above his head and tossing it at Benrubi, nearly killing him (OK, so Slash helps). Bonus points for the entire clip being a metaphor for Rose's career post-1993."

Read the rest of the list HERE and make sure to get your copy of Chinese Democracy, which hits stores Sunday, November 23rd!
