If you pay, you can get a star. It costs you $25,000....
Not every musician, actor etc. is after that kind of self promotion.
Led Zeppelin has no star, for example....

You can't just buy a star without being "selected", I believe. And it looks like someone has to nominate you.
Nomination process
Each year, an average of 200 nominations are submitted to the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce Walk of Fame Selection Committee. Anyone, including fans, can nominate anyone active in the field of entertainment, as long as the nominee or his or her management is in agreement with the nomination. (A letter of agreement from the nominated celebrity or representative must accompany the application.) Nominees must have a minimum of 5 years' experience in the category for which they are nominated. Posthumous nominees must be deceased at least 5 years. At a meeting each June, the Committee selects approximately 20 celebrities to receive stars on the Walk of Fame during the following year. One posthumous award is given each year as well. The nominations of those not selected are "rolled over" to the following year for reconsideration; those not selected two years in a row are dropped, and must be renominated to receive further consideration. Living recipients must agree to personally attend a presentation ceremony within five years of selection. A relative of deceased recipients must attend posthumous presentations. Presentation ceremonies are open to the public.[60]
A fee (currently USD $25,000), payable at time of selection, is collected to pay for the creation and installation of the star, as well as general maintenance of the Walk of Fame. The fee is usually paid by the nominating organization, which may be a fan club, or a film studio, record company, broadcaster, or other sponsor involved with the honoree's current or ongoing project.

I can't believe that a fee of $25.000 has to be payed for the star. I feel it should be something that is done out the goodness of the state, for someones achievements. I feel the cost can be collected another way, for example a percentage of the tourism from the city, which benefits from attractions such as this.
I don't think getting a star is as prestigious as it once was, and in my view that fee just takes away more credibility.
It's just another example of how Slash has commercialized himself, and to recieve an honour like this. Is in my view not very honourable for the sole reason of what the attraction has become today.

Commercialized himself? what signed mainstream band isn't commercialized?
STar on the walk of fame is cool. when u die, people will still see it and remember u. I think he definitely has earned one.
u all make it sound like just any avg Joe can get one. the money is used for the upkeep,construction etc.
u really think taxpayers would shell out for something like this regardless of who it was? no way.

I always thought you were "chosen" to receive a star. Turns out you sort of "apply" for one.

You still do have to be "chosen" at least in the sense that while anyone can apply, they are still very selective about who actually gets one. It's like getting into Harvard I guess you could liken it to. Anyone can apply, but only the best and brightest are admitted.

Slash likes the limelight...so more power to him.
That's all that this is. Doesn't mean anything on an artistic level.

Exactly! i thought it was restricted to people who had great achivements. Totally lost credibility now that i know of that fee.
Jarmo do you nominate only celebrities or someone can nominate you for paying the fee as well? Like imagine if someone here in the forum wanted a star.. do u think they could?

I hope you're not talking about me either D.
I have been to 14 GN'R shows, and have never waited around after the show has finished or even in the car park for that matter. I sometimes consider it rude to even wait around the back doors to the venue, but I know some people mean well.
I have heard you say this a few times now to people who express their feelings about Slash.
You are not even qualified to say that comment to a fan who has travelled all over the world to see GN'R. And will continue to do so, as GN'R are my life and I love watching them live.
I think it's discusting that you say comments like these, to people expressing their honest opinions.

Of course whenever anyone says anything bad about slash D comes along with his "stop ass kissing you are not going backstage" shit. I think he must be really jealous that some people get to go backstage and he never has, but that is another topic altogether.
As for this "achievement" slash is getting, anything that your wife nominates you for and you have to pay to receive is not worth getting IMO. If it was some huge honor and slash really deserved it than wouldn't people other than his wife (ie: entertainment industry big wigs) nominate him instead?
