See this is kinda funny. I know a guy who met slash at a bar a few years ago. Slash was such a dick that the guy punched him in the face. The guy i know said he's pint sized. Like Vedder height and a total arogant dick. He was pushing everyone out of the way to get to the bar multiple times. When the guy told him to take it easy, Slash started jabbing his pointer finger in his chest. The guy told Slash to stop. Slash didn't stop. So Slash got punched in the face by an average sized 6 foot tall man. That must of hurt.

Back in early '96, I was at a Brother Cain show, and he came out as a "special guest." Pretty much booed right out of there.

I figured by now everyone would have warmed back up to him, realizing that the GNR break-up was probably due more to Axl being a huge egotistical ass.

i've never been much of a slash fan.
what's with the cigarette always hanging out of his mouth?
btw, being attacked on stage means you use your guitar & amps as weapons.

i am really trying, yes.
this go 'round doesn't seem to be as hard as previous attempts.
slash, however, he has increased his daily tobacco intake by a staggering 13%.
plus he is taking self-defense classes, guitar lessons, and he's designing hats.

It reminds me of this: On December 8, 2004, Abbott was shot onstage while performing with Damageplan at the Alrosa Villa in Columbus, Ohio. The gunman was Nathan Gale, who shot Abbott five times, including once in the head, killing him instantly. Gale then continued shooting, killing three others and wounding a further seven. Gale fired a total of fifteen shots, taking the time to reload once and remaining silent throughout the shooting. Jeff "Mayhem" Thompson, the band's head of security, was killed tackling Gale, as was Alrosa Villa employee Erin Halk. Audience member Nathan Bray was killed while trying to perform CPR on Dimebag and Mayhem. Damageplan drum technician, John "Kat" Brooks, was shot three times as he attempted to get the gun away from Gale, but was overpowered and taken hostage in a headlock position. Tour manager Chris Paluska was also injured. Seven police officers came in the front entrance, led by Officer Rick Crum, and moved toward the stage. Officer James D. Niggemeyer came in through the back door, behind the stage. Gale only saw the officers in front of the stage; he never saw Officer Niggemeyer who was armed with a 12 gauge Remington 870 shotgun. He approached Gale from the opposite side of the stage to avoid hitting the hostage and fired a single shot, striking Gale in the face with eight of the nine buckshot pellets. Gale was found to have 35 rounds of ammunition remaining. Nurse and audience member Mindy Reece, 32, went to the aid of Abbott and she and another fan administered CPR until paramedics arrived, but were unable to revive him.
In May 2005, Officer Niggemeyer testified before the Franklin County grand jury, which is routine procedure in Franklin County after a police shooting. The grand jury did not indict Niggemeyer, finding that his actions were justified. Niggemeyer received a commendation from the Ohio Peace Officer Training Commission for his outstanding police work in time of crisis as well as the National Rifle Association award as 2005 Law Enforcement Officer of the Year. The five other officers that were first on the scene received Ohio distinguished law enforcement medals for their efforts. In 2006 James Niggemeyer penned the foreword to a book written about the event A Vulgar Display of Power: Courage and Carnage at the Alrosa Villa. Early theories of motive suggested that Gale may have turned to violence in response to the breakup of Pantera, or the public dispute between Abbott and Pantera singer Phil Anselmo, but these were later ruled out by investigators. Another theory was that Gale believed Abbott had stolen a song that he had written. In the book, A Vulgar Display Of Power, several of Gale's personal writings, given to the author by his mother, suggest that the gunman was not angry about Pantera's breakup or about a belief that Pantera had "stolen songs;" instead, the documents suggest that Gale's paranoid schizophrenia caused delusions that the band could read his mind, and that they were "stealing" his thoughts and laughing at him. Abbott's grave is located at the Moore Memorial Gardens Cemetery in Arlington, Texas. He is buried alongside his mother. He was buried with Eddie Van Halen's Charvel Hybrid VH2 - a black and yellow Frankenstrat guitar, also known as "Bumblebee," that was pictured with Van Halen on the cover of the album Van Halen II. Dimebag had asked for one of these guitars in 2004, shortly before he was shot. Edward Van Halen originally agreed to make Darrell a copy of the guitar, but upon hearing of Abbott's death, decided to place the actual guitar in his casket. He was buried in a KISS Kasket.

i think the cigarette he keeps in his mouth is not lit.
how could he stand it if it were lit?
i can't do that with a lit smoke.
maybe for 8 seconds i could hold a lit cigarette with my lips, no longer than that or i'd gag.
frickin smoke all up in my nose and eyes.
not good.

slash does this 24x7.
i believe his smokes are not on fire.

He really smokes them. He's a badass

I've heard more stories about him being cool than being a jerk. A 6' tall dude punchin Slash seems pretty douchey if he's really that small.

Don't worry, it isn't like the whole erection deal. You won't need to see a doctor or anything...probably.
