I suspect Bowie would be quietly dangerous.

Back in the day I have no idea. Now 100% Axl. I don't think Bowie is putting up much of a fight.

It's amazing how little self-awareness some people have.

Besides, wasn't the real story that Izzy fucked Vince's fiance/wife?

Izzy pushed Vince’s wife backstage at some MTV Awards show which is what led to the whole thing. Vince allegedly punched Izzy in retaliation. Axl started his beef with Vince after the fact in defense of Izzy.

Or something like that.

Ok, then what was it? I may not have gotten the details razor sharp but I think that’s pretty close.

How did it go down, Wednesday?

Vince only accosted Izzy at the awards show. The thing with Sharise happened at some bar a while before.

Vince's story changes often, and seems to claim he kicked her, hit her, or pushed her interchangeably. He has also said she was pregnant, but the pregnancy bit of it doesn't make every one of Vince's versions either.

It's cute how you guys believe Vince's nonsense, here.

It's also worth noting that Vince beat her far worse than what Izzy did, provided it went down that way.

It's also worth noting that very few people, if at all, have ever spoken up about it and actually saw Izzy punch, slap, push, or kick her. But I don't follow everything, maybe several people that did see it have talked about it.

Imma say Bowie. Wouldn't doubt he could fight I'm sure he's been in many situations where he had to defend himself. That's why his eye is discolored he got punched there while brawling. Besides how awesome would that be if he beat up Axl Rose?

Axl and not even close. Bowie didn't have the physique for combat. And Axl edges him on the rage department.
