LOS ANGELES -

Axl Rose's lawsuit over a video game has been dismissed.

A judge in Los Angeles has ruled Activision Blizzard did not violate an agreement with Rose by putting Slash's avatar in "Guitar Hero 3."

Rose had said he let Activision use the song "Welcome To The Jungle" in the game as long as neither Slash nor Velvet Revolver appear in the game. "Guitar Hero 3" features Slash.

Activision says it never made that agreement. A judge in Los Angeles dismissed the suit Wednesday. Rose was seeking $20 million in damages.
