Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose was involved in a comical scuffle with fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger last week.
The singer was repeatedly punched in the arm by the designer before the band took the stage, for an acoustic set, at the Plumm nightclub in New York.
Rose told a radio DJ on American station KROQ on Friday morning that the incident occured after he asked Hilfiger to move his date's drink so it wouldn't get knocked over.
He went on to say that Hilfiger then became angry and hit him and swore at him before being kicked out of the club. Rose described the incident as "the most surreal thing that has happened in my life".
Plumm owner Noel Ashman added: "Axl was a gentleman and had the good sense not to retaliate, as he would have done some serious damage to Hilfiger."
When Axl Rose took to the stage at the nightclub he dedicated 'You're Crazy' to "my good friend Tommy Hilfiger".
The band were playing at the club to celebrate the birthday of actress Roasario Dawson. Other notable guests at the party included rock star Lenny Kravitz, Kid Rock and O.C. star Mischa Barton.
