Guccione Jr. challenges hard rocker

Folio: The Magazine for Magazine Management, Nov 1, 1991

Bob Guccione Jr. knows how to get publicity. The publisher and editor of Spin so enraged Guns N' Roses when he published the terms of the group's onerous interview contract that the group wrote a scathing song about the music press called "Get in the Ring." The song accuses Guccione and others of "printin' lies, and startin' controversy.

Get in the ring [expletive] I'll kick your bitchy little ass, punk." Guccione, who's been studying karate for nine years, sent a letter to the band's leader, Axl Rose, taking him up on the offer. Rose has yet to respond. "Clearly the guy's a coward, and I called him on it," Guccione says.
