HILFIGER DRESSES DOWN AXL IN BRAWL

May 20, 2006 -- Tommy Hilfiger really showed his "Appetite for Destruction" yesterday when he pummeled Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose in a dispute over a VIP table at Rosario Dawson's birthday party, sources said.
The midnight turf battle erupted when Axl moved Hilfiger's girlfriend's drink in the banquette area of The Plumm nightclub on West 14th Street - where the "Rent" actress was celebrating her 27th birthday.
A densely packed crowd of celebs - including Lenny Kravitz and Kid Rock - had ringside seats to the battle.
The feisty fashionista was acting all gangsta, hitting Axl with a flurry of punches, one that landed under Rose's eye.
"First [Axl and Tommy] were sitting. Then they were pulling on each other . . . It got so out of control," said a shocked witness.
As the punch-up escalated, Hilfiger introduced Rose to some "November Pain" with a blow to the cheek. Club guards quickly tried to separate the men.
"A bunch of security ran over - but Tommy would not back down. He was just out to take him down," the witness said.
"Kid Rock got trampled by people running over. It was unbelievable."
Eventually, the designer's own bodyguard pulled him out of the club.
Yesterday, club owner Noel Ashman pointed the finger at Hilfiger: "Axl was a gentleman and had the good sense not to retaliate, as he would have done some serious damage to Hilfiger."
Rose said the attack was unprovoked, in an interview with The Post in his dressing room.
The singer said Hilfiger may have been angry because he'd been told to move to make room for Rose and his entourage.
Rose described Hilfiger as "foaming at the mouth."
When Rose took the stage a few minutes later to perform the song "You're Crazy," he dedicated it "to my good friend Tommy Hilfiger."
Kid Rock, wearing a black-brimmed hat and smoking a cigar, took his fellow rocker's side, and explained that Hilfiger was upset because he is way further down on the fame food chain.
The hierarchy, according to Kid Rock, begins with mere mortals and works its way up to sports stars.
"After that it's movie stars, then rock stars, then Michael Jordan." Hilfiger is somewhere between a mere mortal and a sports star in this ranking.
Lenny Kravitz seemed to side with Hilfiger, and also fled the club soon after Hilfiger got the heave-ho.
Hilfiger's peeps would not comment yesterday.

Wow you guys sure are pathetic, just because you hate Axl doesn't mean you have to spend your time going into threads about GNR and tell everyone over and over again how much you don't like them.

same here, that was funny stuff...haha, my jaw dropped several times....axl would have done some damage,....yeah right.....skinny sad sack souped-up sell out sucka!
not sure where they're bashing axl anywhere in the article
Where in my post does it say I hate GnR and Axl?
I like a lot of the stuff on AFD.
Well I should've quoted Depplover and not you.
not everyone has to like your precious axl...
I think he was refering to the people in this thread wishing harm on Axl and insulting him. The article did spin the whole thing as well, saying Axl was "Pummelled" by Hillfiger, its not like Axl got his ass kicked he just decided not to beat up some old dude and he's getting shit on about it. If he had punched back these same people would be attacking Axl for being a psycho.
I don't care if you don't like Axl or GNR, I just thought it was dumb to say he needs to get slapped.
get over it..
Maybe he's grown up a little. Or well medicated.
And maybe, just maybe, we'll actually see Chinese Democracy this year (or next, or the year after that....definitely by 2010. Or so.)
