Vunter Slaush?

"Slash is widely considered one of the greatest rock guitarists of all time"

By people who don't listen to very many rock guitarists.

I fund it funny that Axl reacts to hearing about Slash like the Three Stooges react to hearing about Niagra Falls.

Slowly I turned....

I heard they were running out of star space so they had to consolidate new celebrities. Slash is actually receiving his with Gordon Sumner. It says SLING.

You're welcome.

He's created absolutely fantastic tunes over the years. Making music isn't just about technical skills.

He is really mainstream and gets a lot of publicity within the industry. Have an awards show and need a famous guitarist to walk on stage during a pop song to give your lip singing artist an edge? Call Slash. Need a famous guitarist to do a guest spot on an album to add some street cred to the shiatty new band your label just signed? Call Slash. Need someone who looks like a cartoon caricature to promote your new equipment? Call Slash

He's also been a REAL cartoon in the video for "Kick It Up a Notch" from the Phineas and Ferb movie.

Yeah, not really a big deal, since you aren't "chosen" or "honored" with the star, no matter what the press releases say, you spend somethin glike $10 or $15 thousand dollars for the "privilege'.

He's the Keith Richards of my generation. Denying his rock cred is just..... I don't even...

Nicely said. His is very good at writing/playing melodic lead guitar lines that complement songs other people write. You have to be proficient to write/play some of the things he has recorded. However, he is not a technical virtuoso, as many of his live performances demonstrate. Even given that he was drunk/high whatever a lot in the old days, check out his acoustic set performing GNR songs with his new singer. Flubby flub flub.

Wait I thought Slash was an urban legend?

AliceBToklasLives: Wait I thought Slash was an urban legend?

Not an urban legend, but it's just a bunch of different dudes in outfits. Usually someone's dad will dress up as Slash to play at birthday parties.

Sorry if I've ruined the magic of Slash for people, but your parents should have told you when you were kids.

My parents dressed up as Slash when I was a kid, and it just made my childhood that much more magical. I'll do the same thing with my kids. It's not lying to them, it's being a part of their childhood. Children need the fantasy of Slash, and they also need to have that moment when they find out he's not real. It's part of growing up, a rite of passage. To deny that to a child is to deny them childhood, and too many kids are having to grow up too fast.

Let your kids be kids. Let them have Slash.

Well there's a lot of rick guitarists who'd like a word with you....

Need someone to play the national anthem? Call Slash. Need someone to blow the roof off the joint? Call Slash. etc etc

Yeah, and it screwed up my commute this morning. Never liked GnR and didn't need to be late.
/and stay off my lawn

Need to dress your kid up for Halloween? Call Slash
Need fresh made biscuits and gravy? Call Slash
Need to beat your wife at putt putt because you're too competitive and she is stupid good for no reason? Call Slash

Nana's Vibrator: meat0918: I thought they bought those things?

That's what I've heard, too. I've never been there, but it seems that the "walk of fame" is so vast and indiscriminate that we Farkers could install a star for someone overnight and no one would be the wiser.

I would love to see some Farkers install a star for Drew overnight

The Axl honorary urinal is at the Rainbow, next to the Bonzo memorial vomitorium.

I swear, this guy has not changed his clothes in over 20 years. Gotta hand it to him though, he found a "rock star" look that works for him and he's stuck with it.

/don't wanna think about what the inside of that top hat smells like though

Anyone remember in the late 90's when he switched to a knit rasta-esque cap for a bit? I think it was afer GNR, before VR.
