Axl Rose, lead singer of rock band Guns n' Roses, was released by police last on Tuesday after having been arrested in the Swedish capital for violent conduct and damaging a hotel room earlier in the day.

Rose was released after pleading guilty to a misdemeanour of violent conduct and criminal damage and agreeing to pay a fine of 40,000 crowns and 10,000 crowns in compensation to a security guard, a police spokeswoman said.

The Guns n' Roses frontman, whose hits include Welcome to the Jungle and Paradise City, was arrested early on Tuesday suspected of attacking a security guard and threatening a policeman. He also caused minor damage to the interior of the hotel, the police said.

Rose, who played a concert in Stockholm on Monday night, was "too drunk to talk" when he was detained and was held in a cell until sober enough for questioning, police said.

"The matter is now concluded," police spokeswoman Towe Hagg said.

Axl Rose........That is one of the few bands (Guns and Roses) I have never seen......and I would have really loved to see.......But the man has got some kind of thing going in his head that I don't think anyone will ever understand.....I don't feel bad for him........I feel like he let music(in general) down.......Because he is such a purist????????
