Slash's 1999 domestic violence arrest


Recommended Posts

Theres more legal trouble for the alumni of Guns N Roses.

Guitarist Slash, a.k.a. Saul Hudson, was arrested at an L.A.-area recording studio on the weekend for allegedly assaulting his estranged girlfriend. The altercation was said to have taken place in a room at the Le Parc Hotel in West Hollywood on July 19, but the unnamed woman apparently didnt lodge a complaint until later in the week.

Police officials appeared at the Sunset Boulevard facility Saturday evening (July 24) and transported the guitarist to a West Hollywood police station. He was booked and released on a $50,000 bond. Slash, who left Guns N Roses in 1996, was in the middle of a recording session for his new Slashs Snakepit album with producer Jack Douglas at the time.

According to a source close to Slash, the arrest was the latest in a week-long series of accusations and counter-accusations.

There was a lot of dont get mad, get even going on, says the source. Theres more

to this story than meets the eye, and when it all comes out, Slash will be vindicated. The source added that contrary to published reports, the couple had not been living together.

Friends and fans of the laid back guitarist are finding the story hard to believe. He never even gets mad, much less violent, says one associate.

The top-hatted rocker has previously had accounting problems related to his ex-wife, Renee, but no criminal troubles. Former Guns drummer Steven Adler, however, recently served almost three months after he was convicted of assaulting two different women in unrelated incidents (see Slash Sues Former Business Manager, Adler Sentenced To Harder Time ).

How come nobody ever talks about this? Why is Axl the only one who gets ragged for domestic violence allegations?

When you're cool, people care. When you're not cool, people don't care. Slash was cool, not anymore. Axl has been hanging by a thread for about 18 years himself.

When you're relevant, everything you do will come out in the open.

Exhibit A:

-People care what Lebron James does

-People don't care what I does

Comparing people is childish, yes. But the reason why there is very little interest for Steven's legal troubles, slightly more for Slash', and much more for Axl's, is their respective popularities. People simply don't care much for Slash, and even less for Steven. If Slash was as popular as Axl he would have his own large forum, which would probably attract weirdos with nothing better to do than do criticise him for the mistakes he has made.

Watch out, I was called a nutter for reacting to that regard when someone came up with the wife beating shit in the other thread. Frankly, I don't give a damn. Of course domestic violence is wrong, always, doesn't matter who's doing it. End of discussion.

I think it's just because most people saw it as a fluke. Only God knows. I just personally had a hard time swallowing it. He could had just grabbed her in defense to get her off him. I mean the cops came and they didn't arrest him on the scene, so it couldn't have been that bad. It was only after Perla presumably showed some marks to the cops weeks later that got Slash charged initially, which is to the best of my knowledge standard procedure in most states. And then the charges were eventually dropped. Maybe it was a hostility issue on Perla's part. They were kinda "on again, off again" at that point weren't they? It wouldn't be the first time something like that has happened. :shrugs:.

The bottom line is that I think most people shrugged it off because Slash never had a public history with violence, let alone women beating. That's not something that magically materializes at 34, and then drops off completely. It doesn't just come and go like that. Where are all these other women that have been physically abused by Slash? What about his first wife he caught in bed chopping another dude? Surely there'd at least be one other claim. You don't just experiment with something like that once never to have done it before or after. I don't know, it always seemed fishy to me.

On the other hand, you have Axl who's notoriously hot headed, has had multiple women claim to have been abused, and multiple witnesses claiming to have seen the abuse go down. A bit of a different story.

Or maybe because Axl's dilemma happened while Guns N' Roses were still relatively relevant and popular, while Slash's happened long after GNR left the hot spot...

You does have a point. I does not care what you does.

As I recall, your posts were deleted and you looked like the cock. But hey, agree to disagree. It's off topic and I won't be sucked into the Bobbo vortex.

Nice with the "psychotic" dig as always.

I will now reiterate my "seriously? :rofl-lol:" and you will sit back, shut up and take it.

Recall again, both our posts were deleted. And no, people still think you're a raging lunatic.

But care to add any substance to this, or are you just gonna keep shit posting out of spite :shrugs:?

Someone is smoking the good shit again.

When exactly did this "haul off and give her a good whack" happen?

You know, the ones that explain how Perla broke into his hotel room while he was sleeping and started assaulting him and all he did was try and hold her back until the police came and escorted her out. And how she didn't file charges until days later and then dropped them. And how they then got married and have 2 beautiful boys now.

Probably because only one half of it serves the intended purpose.
