TMZ.com reports that a security guard at a GUNS N' ROSES concert is suing the band and lead singer Axl Rose claiming that Rose kicked him in the head while on stage — back in 1996!

In a lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on August 29, Gary Armijo claims that while he was working as a security guard stationed in front of the stage, Rose "intentionally kicked [Armijo] in the head proximately causing severe physical injuries."

The lawsuit goes on to allege that unless Rose is stopped, he "will continues to commit willful assaults of the nature described herein on innocent members of the public and security personnel, both during and outside of GUNS N' ROSES concerts."

Howard Weitzman, Rose's attorney, tells TMZ.com, "The allegations in this lawsuit are frivolous. There is video of this incident which contradicts the allegations against Axl. Axl vehemently denies he did anything wrong which will be proven via witnesses and the video. Unfortunately anyone can file a lawsuit whether it has merit or not. In my opinion this is a pathetic attempt to get money from Axl."

Well it's either that or a pathetic attempt to cover his ass. Given Axl's track record I'd be inclined to side with the latter if it weren't for the sheer number of scammers in the world that will stop at nothing for a quick, easy buck instead of actually working for it. Given that the lawsuit stems from 1996, there's your first clue. If the incident was so bad, why did the guy wait 11 years to sue over it? Good luck winning this one, Mr. Armijo, you're going to need it.
