Slash And Family On American Idol

Josh loposer — Thu, 07 May 2009 20:00:00 GMT

If you watched American Idol this week, you heard something that a precious few ears have ever heard and lived to tell about it: Slash's voice. You also got a peek at something else almost as shocking: Slash has a family!

Being a legendary hedonistic rock creature, chronically shrouded in a mysterious cloud of curly hair, it blows my mind that Slash is a normal human being.

Most of my life, I believed that Slash should probably not be allowed to procreate, but after seeing on American Idol, the guy actually seems super nice. And, of course, he's a giant among guitar players.

I bet it would be awesome to have Slash as a dad. I would totally make him impart all of his guitar wisdom on me. Slash and his wife Perla Farrar two sons: London Emilio, 6, and Cash Anthony, 4 and a half. Rock on, Slash!

Lenny Kravitz to Velvet Revolver: Are You Gonna Go My Way?

Whit Honea — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 18:04:00 GMT

I doubt Lenny Kravitz actually said that, as it would be cheesy, not to mention I made it up. Still, the rocker is rumored to be the favorite for the role of Velvet Revolver frontman.

It's been a regular who's who of daddy rockers being linked to the opening. The job was Scott Weiland's, but he got canned for being too Scott Weiland. He went back to his family and his first band, Stone Temple Pilots. Apparently they are all gluttons for punishment- and good tunes.

Then the rumored replacement was one Royston Langdon, of the recently split from Liv Tyler Royston Landgons. You've got to figure if he's letting Liv Tyler go he can't be any smarter than Weiland. Hopefully he'll go back to Spacehog, they were good.

Enter Kravitz. He writes songs for his kids and washes his hands of illicit affairs. He's like a relative saint.

Kravitz in a band does seem odd though- very Van Hagar, but (hopefully) better.

Use Your Illusion: Ashlee Simpson and Axl Rose

Whit Honea — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 14:26:00 GMT

In a rare moment of quiet Ashlee Simpson stopped to ponder it all, the baby, the ink, and her love for Maybelline.

Okay, the tattoos and penis give it away, but doesn't old Axl look more like new Ashlee than anyone should be comfortable with?

Put a shaggy wig and big hat on Pete Wentz and you've got instant Halloween costume.

Slash Meets the Mummy

Whit Honea — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 16:44:00 GMT

Saul Hudson and family dropped some rockstar on the carpet at the premiere of The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor.

Perhaps you are asking yourself, self, who the hell is Saul Hudson? That's Slash, yo.

Slash and his wife Perla Ferrar took their sons London and Cash to the movie. The boys are 5 and 4, which normally would seem a little young for one of the Mummy movies, but I'm guessing they've seen plenty of skulls and weirdness in their time.

Slash Is One Smart Dad

Sassy Smith — Sun, 11 May 2008 18:03:00 GMT

Former Guns N' Roses lead guitarist Slash, who is currently lead guitarist for Velvet Revolver, is by all accounts, a very smart dad. Why?

Slash was a proud owner of 80 snakes, which consisted of mostly deadly pythons and boas, and they lived with him at his home. He decided that perhaps he should get rid of them as they weren't the best pet for his first born son and had fears that one or more could escape and find it's way into his baby's nursery. Brilliant!

The rocker told Britain's Mojo magazine that he was "quite relieved" to let his pets go. "Feeding them all by myself had become a bit of a job. I missed the old days when it was just a matter of finding a couple of dead rats around the corner."

Smart thinking dad. See?

Slash has two sons, London Emilio and Cash Anthony with wife Perla Ferrar.

Erykah Badu Needs a Bud Light

I had no idea that Slash wore glasses. Too obvious? What about a Hair Bear comment?

Seriously, I make fun of a lot of celebrities on here, mostly out of uncontrollable spite (I'm getting help), but never out of jealousy. Until now. That hair is freaking awesome. Erykah Badu has more hair on her head than my whole bowling team on our collective back. Tell me that coif isn't impressive, it's like 80% of her body weight.

That reminds me, I'm out of Rogaine.

Move over Oscar and Felix. Slash and Bill Gates are gaming buddies and I am officially one day older and one day closer to death.

I wonder if Bill showed Slash a thing or two on "Sweet Child of Mine."

Slash Never Let His Kids Near Michael Jackson

Karen — Fri, 04 Jan 2008 20:11:00 GMT

Parent instincts are some of the strongest Spidey-senses on the planet. When Slash worked with Michael Jackson back in the day, his Daddy-Instincts were on high alert.

Slash recently told 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!”

Dude's got a point.

Scott Weiland Finds a New Vein

Whit Honea — Mon, 19 Nov 2007 21:05:00 GMT

Velvet Revolver and ex Stone Temple Pilots frontman Scott Weiland is writing his memoirs. "It's a weird thing," he says. "You make a lot of records, write a lot of songs, but all of a sudden you go into a whole different vein, and it's a little bit scary to dive into."

Since when has Weiland been scared to dive into a new vein? Isn't that what the book will be about? One chapter on STP, one on Velvet Revolver, one on his little kids and a bunch of book about his battles with heorin- it will be like the non-thinking man's version of Naked Lunch but with a better soundtrack.
