Slash on Howard Stern 5/22/12

[Original]

You can also listen to interview on youtube. The following in a basic transcript I came across...i posted here do to the specific Axl questions. Feel free to move if this is the wrong section.

Howard asked what it is that makes Axl hate Slash so much. Slash said they gave up the name to him and no one really gave a shit at the time. He said when Axl started to put together another band and call it Guns N' Roses then it just went bad. He said when he got into Velvet Revolver he was out denouncing Axl and that may have had something to do with it. Slash said he's not real fond of Axl either. He said that he doesn't have time to worry about it. Slash said it's really not a concern of his.

Howard said when he sees a successful band he sees it as one in a million. Slash said that he has seen some old footage of the band and he's surprised it lasted as long as it did. He told Howard when you start losing band members that's when it starts to go bad. He said the chemistry between the original 5 guys is what made it work.

Howard asked if Slash wrote most of the music. Slash said he came in with the riff stuff but as a song writing team they did it together. He said that the songs from a musical point of view kind of really wrote themselves. Slash said that they could take a couple of hours to finish from top to bottom. He said that Axl and Izzy would come up with the lyrics.

Slash said the early stuff came out that way but then the later stuff was different. He said they were all fucked up later on when they did ''Use Your Illusion'' and stuff like that.

Howard asked Slash about how they were late to get on stage a lot. Slash said he can't even explain that. He said they'd go on 3 hours late at times. He said sometimes it was later. Slash said they tried to reel that in with Axl. Slash said they were so disconnected by then that the rest of them would be drinking while Axl was in his own dressing room. He said it would make a great movie to see all of that.

Howard said for his mind if they could go out for a couple of dates and do some shows they get millions of dollars. Howard said you'd think they could put their problems aside. Howard said if Slash and Axl could put their differences aside they could make good money. Slash said it's just not worth it. He said there are too many conflicts of interest. Slash said he was lucky enough to find something he loves to do. He said he loves doing it now but he was miserable back then. He said in the first couple of years it was fine but then it got to be difficult. He said it just wasn't worth it.

Slash told Howard and Robin he went to see a Guns N' Roses show in Vegas but there were instructions to keep him out. He said he was with his wife and they just went to another hotel and partied instead. Howard asked if he drives him nuts to see someone else playing his guitar licks. He said it must be like seeing a cover band. Slash said it's actually flattering. He said he's never actually seen it happen. He's just heard about it. Slash said the guys who kept him out were apologizing and saying they thought it was stupid that they had to keep him out.

Howard said Slash created those great licks and that's what Axl is missing. He said he can hire 50,000 guys to do what Slash did but they can't recreate what goes on in the studio. He said if he could sit down with these fuckers he'd get this thing going. Howard said he knows he could. Slash said he doesn't think anyone cares enough. Howard said he does. Slash said he doesn't though.

[classicrawker]

Howard should fuck off and let the current Guns N' Roses line-up continue. Seriously, people need to get their heads out of their asses, it's been almost 20 years.

So is Howard asking SLash questoins about Guns now another impediment to Axl reaching his vision?

And by coincidence they are replaying the Slash interview on Howards show as I type this................

I wasn't aware Howard was stopping them from continuing?

I wasn't aware Howard was stopping them from continuing?

I wasn't aware I stated he was? I just said let them continue instead of trying to rekindle something from almost 20 years ago. The current line-up is fantastic, extremely talented and more importantly, solid. Axl has said a billion times he's not going to play with Slash again and even said one of them will die before it happens. I'm sick of Axl repeating himself about something that will not happen, so I can't imagine how much Axl is sick of it. The subject should just be dropped and people should move on instead of hanging in the past and hoping for something that is never going to happen.

You do realize that every interviewer is going to ask Slash these questions every interview forever right? and Slash has no more desire for a reunion then Axl does at this point right? So I still don't get your point..........

Atleast Slash will go on Howard. Axl won't do it...he needs all interviews pre approved by "his people". It would be great though to have Howard actually hammer Axl on some points...would definately be a fascinating interview.

I said move this if deemed wrong section. Besides- you could say "old members section" for about 90% of threads. Basically every thread talks about a song off of AFD, or UYI or has a Slash reference or Duff or Bucket or Finck. I thought this was kinda an interesting and new interview regarding Slash on Axl. Let the mods moderate where threads should go...I think they can handle it.

I am finally getting to hear the full interview for the first time and have to say while there is nothing earth shattering Howard did cover a lot of ground and it was interersting to hear Slash tell the stories and give more details............

how old are you ? 8 ?

No. What should happen is Howard should interview Axl (no subjects off limits and none of Axl's "handlers" allowed...that'd be kick ass.

[RandallFlagg]

I like Stern but he ripped on gaga (which was hilarious and I love gaga) but then kissed her ass when she went on his show, if he managed to persuade Axl to go on I don't think he'd try and put him into a corner either.

Exactly- Howard would ask the questions that need to be asked...and he'd do it in a none ass hole way. He'd ask directly about what we all debate...actually it'd be great to have him ask Axl the exact same questions he asked Slash.

Slash lies,fact.

Do you know who this is? Doubt it unless you know history and are over 15.

Here is some sketchy and ominous facts concerning his demise,involving slash.

H o w D i d T o d d C r e w D i e ? J e t b o y a n d S l a s h V a r y .

Todd Crew

"Todd, all of twenty-one years old, died in my arms," said Slash, of Guns N' Roses.

Throughout his recently published biography, Slash describes Todd Crew, of Jetboy fame, as his drug addicted best friend--the best friend he fervently tried to protect, but in the end, could not keep away from the thrill of the rock star lifestyle.

Slash paints a picture of Todd as a pushy dope fiend, dragging him through the streets of New York to score heroin and other drugs. He explains that the day of Todd's death he had tried to thwart his drug use but was "overruled."He claims that, while later that night he did inject Todd with heroin, he only did so because he could "tell it wasn't strong at all" -- performing the injection with the intent of regulating how much heroin Todd was given.

Slash further goes on to say that Todd must have been shot up later by a fellow party go-er because "what I gave him wasn't strong enough to cause what happened."

However, Todd's former band mates and the members of a recently reunited Jetboy believe something entirely different happened that night.

I sat down with Jetboy who were close friends of Todd Crew, to get the band's opinion on the death of Todd, and the comments made by Slash about the rock band Jetboy.

Marion Pierson: In Slash's' biography he says he stayed with Todd while everyone left, and that "he died in his arms". I understand you were told different information?

Jetboy: Absolutely...Slash is a liar and he knows it. The few people that were there that night knows what really happened and that Slash is 100% full of shit. Todd OD'd twice that night, we were told. The first time Slash didn't even bother calling 911. After they revived him for a minute, everyone freaked out, being high on dope; and left (Slash included).

When they came back, Todd was dead. That's when Slash finally called 911 -- when it was too late. It's a perfect alibi: "I wasn't here. When I got back Todd was dead."

Slash only cared about saving his own ass from criminal charges; which is exactly what happened. Slash walked away with no repercussions.

MP: So you're saying that Slash killed Todd?

Jetboy: Todd was killing himself, but Slash definitely aided him in his demise. Just read what he wrote In his book. This is what we believe happened.

Todd, on arrival, was "fucking drunk," according to Slash, at his hotel at 7am. Todd had just broken up with his long time girl friend and was distraught.

Slash took him to a Western Union so he could get money to buy heroin.

Slash bought a bottle of Jim Beam (Todd's choice of booze), after Todd can't even stand up straight, and as he was falling down, drunk .

Slash shot Todd up with heroin after Todd was, according to Slash in his book, "in no state to be messing with drugs."

Slash and Todd went to the movies, where Slash smuggled in a case of beer; and where they continued to drink excessively.

Slash and Todd go back to the hotel where Slash proceeded to shoot Todd up with more heroin (Todd had been drinking for 18 hours straight).

Todd OD'd the first time, and Slash revived Todd temporarily; but Slash then panicked and left instead of calling 911.

Slash comes back to the hotel room, finds that Todd has overdosed again; and finally called 911, after it was too late. Now Slash has the perfect alibi "I wasn't here when it happened."

Jetboy: Slash claims in his book that he was the "only one who did everything possible to keep Todd alive" Well, If your doing everything you can to keep someone alive" the last thing you do is shoot them up with heroin especially if you know that they have been drinking for 18 hours straight. You don't have to be Dr. Drew to know that the combination of heroin with that level of alcohol is going to be bad news.

Slash even said Todd "was in no state to be messing with drugs," but yet Slash shot him up with heroin; and then abandoned him, when he overdosed; instead of calling 911, like he should have. We can't think of a more selfish act. Slash didn't care about anything but saving himself from criminal charges. Don't forget that Slash has a proven track record of freaking out in these types of the situations and not taking responsibility.

If you read the Heroin Diaries by Nikki Sixx, you will see that Slash freaks out and panics when Nikki Sixx OD' d, and did nothing to help. He was even screaming Todd's name while it happened. Bottom line: Slash is a coward, and it bothers us that Slash walked away with no repercussions; after enabling and providing drugs and alcohol to someone as he said was "in no state to be messing with drugs."

Slash knows the truth and he will have to live with the choices he made and the lies he told and is still telling to this day. He lied to us, he lied to the police, he lied to Todd's friends and family, and he lied to his fans in his book.

We think that Slash is in such denial that he probably believes his own "BS" because he has been telling these lies for so long. And to think he calls Todd all through his book, "my best friend'? That is more Bull Shit.

MP: I'm sure you've checked out Slash's' biography. Were you surprised when he labeled you guys "poseurs"?

Jetboy: "That's like the whole irony of everything when he says 'they [Jetboy] weren't as transparent' which is what I believe he says, because we had a singer with a 'Mohawk' the first thing that comes to mind is, 'Fuck you.'

That's not how it was back then and if you did feel that way then why did you do shows with us, and have both bands hang all the time. At the time, we backed each other up --the two bands were very close. The reason he said that in the book is because he wanted to put us down. It's what Slash has done ever since, because of the situation that happened with Todd; starting when Jetboy fired Todd, up to his passing away, which was six months after he was let go from Jetboy.

[RandallFlagg]

Kinda reminds me of Mike Starr leaving Staley of AIC to die on a speedball overdose tho Layne did order him not to call anyone, still fucked up.

Todd OD'd the first time, and Slash revived Todd temporarily; but Slash then panicked and left instead of calling 911.

Slash comes back to the hotel room, finds that Todd has overdosed again; and finally called 911, after it was too late. Now Slash has the perfect alibi "I wasn't here when it happened."

Jetboy: Slash claims in his book that he was the "only one who did everything possible to keep Todd alive" Well, If your doing everything you can to keep someone alive" the last thing you do is shoot them up with heroin especially if you know that they have been drinking for 18 hours straight. You don't have to be Dr. Drew to know that the combination of heroin with that level of alcohol is going to be bad news.

Slash even said Todd "was in no state to be messing with drugs," but yet Slash shot him up with heroin; and then abandoned him, when he overdosed; instead of calling 911, like he should have. We can't think of a more selfish act. Slash didn't care about anything but saving himself from criminal charges. Don't forget that Slash has a proven track record of freaking out in these types of the situations and not taking responsibility.

If you read the Heroin Diaries by Nikki Sixx, you will see that Slash freaks out and panics when Nikki Sixx OD' d, and did nothing to help. He was even screaming Todd's name while it happened. Bottom line: Slash is a coward, and it bothers us that Slash walked away with no repercussions; after enabling and providing drugs and alcohol to someone as he said was "in no state to be messing with drugs."

Slash knows the truth and he will have to live with the choices he made and the lies he told and is still telling to this day. He lied to us, he lied to the police, he lied to Todd's friends and family, and he lied to his fans in his book.

We think that Slash is in such denial that he probably believes his own "BS" because he has been telling these lies for so long. And to think he calls Todd all through his book, "my best friend'? That is more Bull Shit.

MP: I'm sure you've checked out Slash's' biography. Were you surprised when he labeled you guys "poseurs"?

Jetboy: "That's like the whole irony of everything when he says 'they [Jetboy] weren't as transparent' which is what I believe he says, because we had a singer with a 'Mohawk' the first thing that comes to mind is, 'Fuck you.'

That's not how it was back then and if you did feel that way then why did you do shows with us, and have both bands hang all the time. At the time, we backed each other up --the two bands were very close. The reason he said that in the book is because he wanted to put us down. It's what Slash has done ever since, because of the situation that happened with Todd; starting when Jetboy fired Todd, up to his passing away, which was six months after he was let go from Jetboy.

I had never heard of this story. Whoah.

It's the god-honest truth. I make it a habit to be brutally honest even if it isn't pretty.

Slash also evacuated the scene when N6 Od'. All things considered I simply don't trust anything the guy says,he is toxic.

"Slash is a liar. Slash is 100% full of shit. He lied to us, he lied to the police, he lied to Todd's friends and family, and he lied to his fans in his book."

-Jetboy

Sounds about right.

I said move this if deemed wrong section. Besides- you could say "old members section" for about 90% of threads. Basically every thread talks about a song off of AFD, or UYI or has a Slash reference or Duff or Bucket or Finck. I thought this was kinda an interesting and new interview regarding Slash on Axl. Let the mods moderate where threads should go...I think they can handle it.

I am finally getting to hear the full interview for the first time and have to say while there is nothing earth shattering Howard did cover a lot of ground and it was interersting to hear Slash tell the stories and give more details............

Slash lies,fact.

Do you know who this is? Doubt it unless you know history and are over 15.

Here is some sketchy and ominous facts concerning his demise,involving slash.

H o w D i d T o d d C r e w D i e ? J e t b o y a n d S l a s h V a r y .

Todd Crew

"Todd, all of twenty-one years old, died in my arms," said Slash, of Guns N' Roses.

Throughout his recently published biography, Slash describes Todd Crew, of Jetboy fame, as his drug addicted best friend--the best friend he fervently tried to protect, but in the end, could not keep away from the thrill of the rock star lifestyle.

Slash paints a picture of Todd as a pushy dope fiend, dragging him through the streets of New York to score heroin and other drugs. He explains that the day of Todd's death he had tried to thwart his drug use but was "overruled."He claims that, while later that night he did inject Todd with heroin, he only did so because he could "tell it wasn't strong at all" -- performing the injection with the intent of regulating how much heroin Todd was given.

Slash further goes on to say that Todd must have been shot up later by a fellow party go-er because "what I gave him wasn't strong enough to cause what happened."

However, Todd's former band mates and the members of a recently reunited Jetboy believe something entirely different happened that night.

I sat down with Jetboy who were close friends of Todd Crew, to get the band's opinion on the death of Todd, and the comments made by Slash about the rock band Jetboy.

Marion Pierson: In Slash's' biography he says he stayed with Todd while everyone left, and that "he died in his arms". I understand you were told different information?

Jetboy: Absolutely...Slash is a liar and he knows it. The few people that were there that night knows what really happened and that Slash is 100% full of shit. Todd OD'd twice that night, we were told. The first time Slash didn't even bother calling 911. After they revived him for a minute, everyone freaked out, being high on dope; and left (Slash included).

When they came back, Todd was dead. That's when Slash finally called 911 -- when it was too late. It's a perfect alibi: "I wasn't here. When I got back Todd was dead."

Slash only cared about saving his own ass from criminal charges; which is exactly what happened. Slash walked away with no repercussions.

MP: So you're saying that Slash killed Todd?

Jetboy: Todd was killing himself, but Slash definitely aided him in his demise. Just read what he wrote In his book. This is what we believe happened.

Todd, on arrival, was "fucking drunk," according to Slash, at his hotel at 7am. Todd had just broken up with his long time girl friend and was distraught.

Slash took him to a Western Union so he could get money to buy heroin.

Slash bought a bottle of Jim Beam (Todd's choice of booze), after Todd can't even stand up straight, and as he was falling down, drunk .

Slash shot Todd up with heroin after Todd was, according to Slash in his book, "in no state to be messing with drugs."

Slash and Todd went to the movies, where Slash smuggled in a case of beer; and where they continued to drink excessively.

Slash and Todd go back to the hotel where Slash proceeded to shoot Todd up with more heroin (Todd had been drinking for 18 hours straight).

Wow. Interesting post. Does/has Axl ever "lied" in your opinion?

No because CD came out in the summer of 97, no wait, it came out in 2006...

Don't wanna sound like Axl hasn't lied, 'cause he does it all the time but... you don't really think delaying and album is comparable to running away from a crime scene you were involved in, do you?

[WhazUp]

But here is the thing: ALL of this is heresay. Why should we believe this guy in the interview? Why should any of us take anything anyone says (including Axl and Slash) to be 100 percent factual? And who are certain members here to go on to nearly every topic involving Slash to not even take Marc's quotes in the full context but go on about it anyway?
