Former Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash loves listening to Walt Disney film soundtracks

2008-01-02 07:20:58   

The long-haired guitarist - who became the first musician to break the smoking ban when he lit up on stage at the Cardiff International Arena in June 2007 - is renowned for his love of hard rock music, but has now revealed he has a softer side.

He said: "In my record collection you'll find the complete catalogues of Walt Disney music. All the classic themes - 'The Jungle Book', 'Cinderella', 'Lady and the Tramp' - the whole lot."

The 42-year-old musician - who is currently lead guitarist for Velvet Revolver - also admitted he has an unhealthy obsession with British comedienne Dawn French.

He added: "I love anything with Dawn French in it. She's f***ing brilliant!"

Despite revealing his unusual musical tastes, Slash - whose real name is Saul Hudson - also said he is proud of his rock 'n' roll background and his love of alcohol is down to his British roots.

He said: "I was reunited with my family in the 1990s when they hung out in the dressing room and cleaned me out of alcohol! I felt very proud I was part of this lineage of English p**sheads."

Slash Refused To Let Michael Jackson Near His Son

Gigwise, UK - Jan 2, 2008

He didn't quite trust him...

Velvet Revolver and Guns n? Roses legend Slash has said that he refused to let Michael Jackson near his two-year-old son when they met in London.

The guitarist ? real name Saul Hudson - says that although he believed Jacko was innocent until proven guilty with his child abuse charges, he still wouldn?t let his child near the King of Pop.

He tells this month?s Uncut magazine: "You know, I give the benefit of the doubt to Michael on everything - innocent until proven guilty and whatnot - but I was thinking, okay Michael, you figure out your shit and I'll hold on to my son!"

Jackson, of course, was acquitted of all child abuse charges when he went on trial in 2005.

Erm ... Slash's quote did not say he wouldn't let Jackson near his son.  It was clearly a joke by Slash.  Jeez, some people are taking shit and spinning it too much.  Journalists eh!

Blondie star is Debbie Hairy

Published: 03 Jan 2008

HERE?S how a painting of DEBBIE HARRY ended up after former GUNS N? ROSES guitarist SLASH got his rock star hands on it.

He gave the BLONDIE singer a black eye, ?tache and goatee beard when he spotted the portrait on a corridor wall at Virgin Radio?s London HQ.

But tickled station bosses have left the picture UP.

A source revealed: ?Slash was in the studio being interviewed.

?Out of the blue he asked if anyone had a marker pen.

?A few minutes later he said he needed to pop to the loo. He then walked over to the painting as a runner walked past and turned to him and mouthed, ?Shhh!?.?

Breakfast Show DJ CHRISTIAN O?CONNELL said: ?We?re not going to bother replacing the painting. It?s a great story to tell visitors.?

Well, I?d heard Blondies have the most fun.
