Lumikki Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Interesting. Axl and Kimi are friends supposedly (and he did thank him in the liner notes of the CD booklet if I remember correctly). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Original GNR Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Slash on twitter: Slash @Slash Nice weather in London today. En route to the Top Gear test track to go inevitably do some donuts. IiiI; )'https://twitter.com/#!/Slash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiraMPD Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 (edited) Wow, just saw the tweet.Slash and top gear.... my two fav things together @_@Q: Will he drive like he did in the don't cry vid? Edited March 7, 2012 by KiraMPD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaida Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 (edited) It would be unusual to have 2 people do a lap of the test track. If Kimi's there my guess he'll bedoing the driving. If Slash is there, my guess, he'll drive too. I guess Kimi will plug his return to F1, and Slash will plug his new album. I wonder if they'll dig out the November Rain video, as Slash does some driving during that video. Based on what's been preported, Kimi's return to F1 driving the Lotus could be him on the Podium. Lets hope so Edited March 7, 2012 by vaida Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiraMPD Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 (edited) Season 18 Episode 7 of 7In the conclusion of the show's 18th series, Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May set out to discover if they can go motor racing for less than it costs to play golf. There is also a double helping of guests, with rock star Slash and F1 driver Kimi Raikkonen - who has returned to the grid after two years in other motor sports - taking to the track in Reasonably Priced Cars. Meanwhile, Richard gets behind the wheel of the new BMW M5, which is powered by a twin-turbo V8 engine instead of the high-revving V10 of its predecessor. Last in the seriesThe show airs tonight on BBC2 8:00pm GMT.I don't think I'll be able to watch it cuz I'll be at work but I have set my TV to record it (and if it doesn't then there is always bbc iplayer...).

His time 1.49.8 (faster than Alice Cooper)Edit: ..and he performed the Top Gear theme tune at the end of the show while standing on a car - haha Edited March 11, 2012 by vaida Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
