Axl Rose Punches Photographer At LAX

Axl Rose reaffirmed his legendary antipathy for photographers by giving one a beatdown at LAX Wednesday night. The Guns N’ Roses singer was headed to Taipei, Japan (the first stop of the band’s upcoming tour of Southeast Asia) when some paparazzi got too close to his ladyfriends. In a video acquired by TMZ, the singer can be seen warning “touch her again, I’ll break his f—ing neck!” before scurrying to the offending photog and knocking him to the ground with a punch to the face. Despite airport personnel witnessing the hit—and the couple of kicks from Axl that followed—police were never notified and the singer promptly went through the security check, eventually letting us know he was unhurt in a MySpace post (whew!). The victim of Axl’s anger has yet to be identified, but odds are we haven’t heard the last of this.
