Smooth Move, U2
Jeez-o-pete, it has been a terrible year for U2 trying to give people gifts. First, they raped everyone’s iTunes clouds by forcefully shoving their new album in there, and now they’ve gone and done this:
Many thanks to @U2 for the “Welcome to Dublin” case of Guiness! The only thing I miss about being sober. iiii]; )’
— Slash (@Slash) November 11, 2014
Yes, folks, Slash is a recovering alcoholic (and junkie and coke head and who the hell knows what else — dude’s not even fifty yet and he already has a pacemaker). Metal Insider surmises that U2 — or, more likely, some assistant on U2’s team — just didn’t do their homework before gifting the booze to Slash… but, really, how much homework do you need to do to know that Slash had a drinking problem? He is visibly fucked-up in 99% of all photos even taken of him.
Whatever. I’m sure it’s fine. NBD.
In related news, U2 also recently sent a box full of needles to Blake Judd, a group of young children to visit Ian Watkins, and a midnight snack and a bottle of water to a mogwai.
