Some would argue that Irving Azoff is the most powerful man in the music business, put his A list roster of management clients aside, he is the executive chairman of Live Nation Entertainment. So few artists would dare tangle with him, but Axl Rose isn't like other artists.

Axl and Guns N' Roses signed with the management team of Irving Azoff and Andy Gould in March of 2008 but last month Axl Rose posted on Twitter that "Guns is now managed by Doc McGhee." McGhee was Motley Crue's manager back during their heyday and manages the current incarnation of KISS.

Now AP reports that "Front Line Management, which was founded by Irving Azoff, sued Rose in Los Angeles on Thursday for nearly $1.9 million in unpaid fees. The company claims it had an oral agreement with Rose to receive 15 percent of the Guns N' Roses' frontman's commissions. The lawsuit states the commissions are due on more than $12 million in earnings Rose made for performances abroad." - Read the AP report
