This may cause a stir... Slash pays tribute to Todd Crew


Huge fan

Recommended Posts

Back in the 90's, I had a mate who found himself really drunk at an after hours party in an apartment in Sydney (I'm sure many of you have done this, got fucked up and wondered how the fuck you ended up somewhere).

The place was full of shady types, lots of people were doing smack while he was just drinking and getting more and more uncomfortable. The girl who brought him there kept telling him to relax and while his cock was talking louder than his brain - he decided to remain.

While he was there, a girl OD'd and died in another room. They lifted her dead ass up and left her outside the apartment on the landing under her jacket like a sack of garbage and went back inside to finish their smack.

When he was told, he started freaking out but the other junkies threatened him and told him to shut the fuck up and sit down. First chance he got, he tore out of the place, called the cops and flew home to Ireland as soon as he could get a ticket, and remained a very shaken man for some time.

That's junkies for you.

Slash like Todd had chosen this shitty world and if people are expecting manners or humanity in such an arena - they are naive (putting it kindly).

I am surprised though that if Slash was guilty, that the cops in LA didn't hunt him down and lock him up - GNR struck me as a band that the cops were dying to lock up at the time (Axl hiding on bogus rape charges, Izzy scared straight after his pissing on the airliner incident).

That said, people can change; a junkie is not really the true character of the man, just a toxic shell that must feed its drug need at all costs. Izzy, Duff, Slash and Axl all appear to be fully rehabilitated in that area.

That said, these guys did live on the streets for real and lived the life appropriate; if people are going to get all holier than thou about them and their various bad behaviours from the time after buying all their shit and supporting them for 30 years...that's a bit dumb.

The overdose happened in New York and the cops didn't care. If it had been LA,it's possible Daryl Gates might have been more interested because of what happened at Street Scene and GNR might have been somewhat on his radar.

How do you know that Billy doesn't know what happened? Why would he even say he did if he didn't. That is a pretty serious allegation. Wouldn't Slash be able to file a defemation of character lawsuit if it weren't true. He should file one if that's the case.

 

What is going on here? Yes Slash gave him some herion, but that does not mean that it killed him. He could have taken more, before or after Slash gave him that. And also pills and alcohol etc, there can be so many things that led to his dead.
