EXCERPTS FROM SLASH’S UPCOMING AUTOBIOGRAPHY LEAVE US DROOLING FOR MORE
October 30 will see the relase of Slash’s autobiography, the cleverly titled Slash. The UK’s Observer has now printed an excerpt, which contains passages of literary brilliance such as this one, in which the guitarist recalls an incident involving a party attended by himself, drummer Steven Adler, the infamous GN’R bodyguard known only as “Earl,” crew member Tom Mayhew, two groupies, and one W. Axl Rose:
“We all hung out, and as it got later, it was suggested that the girls have sex with all of us. They were willing to blow everyone in the room, which seemed reasonable to me, but they didn’t want to fuck us. For whatever reason, that really pissed Axl off. The girls had a very intelligent rationale for their point of view, but Axl begged to differ. This debate continued for a moment, and it was pretty relaxed, but suddenly Axl exploded. He threw them out with such rage it was shocking.”
Could this be the best book written in the English language since Motley Crue’s The Dirt? We’ll find out in just two short weeks…
