When I came across these pictures of Slash in a bookstore I assumed he was there to drink his weight in Jack Daniels then shoot laser beams out of his guitar in the cooking section. Turns out he hit up Barnes & Noble yesterday to sign his book. Yup, that’s right. Slash wrote a book. I’m going to assume without reading it that it will be the greatest book of our generation. Sure it might not have an empowering tale of sisterhood or ruminations on life after death. But what it will have is strippers. By the hundreds. I’m pretty much going to throw away my copy of the Bible. Won’t be needing that anymore. Thanks, Slash!

I already have a guide for killing zombies and the undead (well, not killing the undead, obviously, but you know, incapacitating). Did that genre really need another book?
korina jebediah | October 31, 2007 at 6:41 pm
i wonder if he had wore the same hat through all these years since he was in G&R or like a simpson character, has many equal hats
korina jebediah | October 31, 2007 at 6:42 pm
talking bout simpsons he looks like otto in the second pic
Amy | October 31, 2007 at 6:45 pm
Whats that thing growing on his chest??? It sure the hell can’t be a nipple!
Jahn | October 31, 2007 at 6:45 pm
I love this man so much more than I should. He’s an asshole and a sleazy drug addict, but fuck it, I can’t help but adore him. Gonna be getting that book, fuck yes!
big teeth | October 31, 2007 at 6:50 pm
Is Slash really still doing the same schtick he was doing in 1988? Even down to the top hat?
steve | October 31, 2007 at 6:52 pm
Check out Pic #2.
I grew up on their music.
No one has ever seen Slash’s eyes.
I suspect that if he took off the shades, there would be two blackened, smoking holes where eyes should be. And if you poked a straw in either, you could drink straight Jack out of it.
Jimbo | October 31, 2007 at 6:53 pm
@1, 3 & 4 Shut the fuck up you stupid fucking troll.
@3 Sorry Laura, that was not me, but a pathetic troll that has no life since her brother killed himself
Roflcer of the Lawl | October 31, 2007 at 6:53 pm
Hah he can’t write a book whats in it smashing his head into the keyboard to make letters and publish it?
wastedOne | October 31, 2007 at 6:57 pm
I like how you both him and Keifer are smking at their book signings. Kick Ass!
korina jebediah | October 31, 2007 at 7:06 pm
@13
hahaha
i’m not saying i would buy the book if it showed that but i would definetly check it out in Borders or Barnes&Noble
i think it also is interactive
at the end you glue the Jack Daniel’s labels
collect ‘em all and you get one free bottle
MrWhipple | October 31, 2007 at 7:10 pm
Slash doesn’t strike me as the kind of person who would READ a book, let alone write one.
LL | October 31, 2007 at 7:21 pm
Dammit, MrWhipple beat me to it. I was gonna write “But has Slash READ a book?” It was gonna be awesome. Thanks for ruining it.
SSS | October 31, 2007 at 7:26 pm
I was waitressing at a “gentlemen’s club” back in the day, and he and some of his band/entourage came into the VIP section where I worked. Thankfully I was not their waitress, but was waiting on some wealthy foreigners at the table next to where Slash was sitting.
Slash got so drunk on JD, that he barfed all over the Penthouse Pet that was lap dancing for the wealthy foreigners! I am SO glad I was busy elsewhere when that happened!
Annabel | October 31, 2007 at 7:27 pm
He wrote a book… a whole book, you say… all right, then. Now what, Britney wears clean underwear every day?
CrankyGranny | October 31, 2007 at 7:39 pm
@LL
I was going to bitch that MrWhipple stole my line and then you stole it. Fucking thieves on this board, get your own act!
Billy | October 31, 2007 at 7:42 pm
I love slash, going to read the book. Slash is a legend, his guitar work is really good, hes up there with page, hendrix.
www.teamXina.com | October 31, 2007 at 8:06 pm
THIS will more than likely suck!!!!!!
Buick McKane | October 31, 2007 at 8:15 pm
Hmm yeah Slash…1977 called and Marc Bolan wants his hat back. You’re no Bolan.
STeve | October 31, 2007 at 8:19 pm
Definitely dressed for Halloween….but then, he always is.

Pastafarian | October 31, 2007 at 8:45 pm
Great 30 year old reference Buick. TRex sucks and always will. Especially since he’s been dead for more than a quarter century. Isn’t there a Two fer Tuesday you’re missing somewhere? Or maybe a “Get the Led Out?”
KISS rules
HJSBV | November 12, 2011 at 2:10 am
T.REX kicks the crap out of KISS. Music still lives today with many influences…and Slash wears a T.REX shirt from time to time.
LK Bozic | October 31, 2007 at 9:13 pm
I love that he’s smoking at Barnes & Noble!! Hahahaha
Julie | October 31, 2007 at 10:07 pm
Boy has he gotten FAT!!
What a porker!!!
Makemepuke | October 31, 2007 at 10:11 pm
Na na …Slash didn’t write a book …he dictated one and someone with a fuckin brain wrote it……who are you kidding? Slash is your typical rock star illiterate…I’d be amazed if he can even read a fuckin word of English, he can barely speak English except for an aptitude for saying the word , “Pussy” yeha he’s a fuckin genius..
BunnyButt | October 31, 2007 at 10:20 pm
When did Howard Stern get his nose pierced and start wearing top hats??!??!
Freddy | October 31, 2007 at 10:28 pm
Who the shit is Slash.
?
Freddy | October 31, 2007 at 10:30 pm
BunnyButt: LMAO, I thought the same thing!!!
Ript1&0 | October 31, 2007 at 10:31 pm
Since when does Fish read the Bible? C’mon man, you know you never needed that.
Brownstone | October 31, 2007 at 10:46 pm
@23, my thoughts exactly. I saw the cover and wondered: “Slash wrote another Marc Bolan book?”, should have known better.
gerard Vandenberg | October 31, 2007 at 11:51 pm
I though the only thing in life you could do properly is guitar playing. So now we have another harry potter writer under us.
Athough another reason he started writing is the needs for income. You know the successes of guns and roses is as good as history and he demanded a “Hollywood” lifestyle which requires pretty much more money to live than it takes us to live “decently”!!
Mr. Brownwell | November 1, 2007 at 12:20 am
It’s 20 frickin years later–time to lose the top hat.
Mr Semprini | November 1, 2007 at 7:22 am
What’s a Slash?
kingnoony | November 1, 2007 at 8:17 am
i’m gonna guess that there’s a lot of one-syllable words in this book. and lots of scratch-and-sniff photos….
Jigglyjugs | November 1, 2007 at 8:58 am
@7 Ha ha ha, its true!
I heard in an interview that he used to drink half a gallon of Jack every day, and that was before he would even leave the house. Not to mention the variety of drugs he would ingest daily. How is he even still alive and functioning? He’s not human I tell ya.
1MILF Hunter | November 1, 2007 at 9:26 am
Keith Richards of the 90′s is still alive. Slash is a has been trying to keep his image in the public eye.
Ali | November 1, 2007 at 9:29 am
I’ve read it! It’s been out in Britain for a few weeks and it’s a fun book. Very, urm, graphic (bit like The Dirt by Motley Crue, which is also readable). Read it and feel saintly because you won’t (I promise) have got up to so much mischief yourself…
bumblebuns | November 1, 2007 at 10:03 am
That redhead in pic 4 got a contact high just from walking by Slash. Woohoo, good stuff!
buttinsky | November 1, 2007 at 10:12 am
I’d tap that.

Who the fuck is this???? Someone answer me I don’t want to read all these comments or look this ugly manskeeze up. Google is to be used to look for things that are desirable not researching ugly people.
aeuwave | November 1, 2007 at 3:01 pm
Slash <3
Call me!
Micky Mc | November 1, 2007 at 3:54 pm
Why no naked pictures of Slash?
No. | November 1, 2007 at 5:05 pm
#28- Slash is not fat. How very dare you. If anything fat is… Slash.
Slash for president of the earth.
D-Unit | November 11, 2007 at 7:49 pm
Up to this point, there has been so little known about Slash aside from the rampant drinking, drug abuse, and sex that any statement questioning if he’s ever read a book is just silly. Like most every celebrity book, of course he had a co-writer which basically means he spits out the stories and the co-writer actually puts them on paper, but that’s not one bit uncommon for any celebrity auto-biography.
Having met Slash numerous times, both during his partying days and since he’s been sober, I can honestly say that he’s always been very genuine, laid back, intelligent, and almost quiet. In speaking he’s not the rowdy “rock star” you’d think, but very subdued and relaxed. A real nice guy. Also, He gave me one of his Les Pauls a long time ago. sweet guitar.
