Top hat and tales

Article Abstract:

Slash, member of Guns N' Roses rock band, was a heavy user of drugs and alcohol, especially when the band did not have a concert scheduled. He grew up in a show business family and was introduced to drugs at an early age. Lead singer Axel Rose was disgusted by the stoned condition of Slash and other rock musicians. Slash finally underwent rehabilitation. Slash has starred on other artists' albums in the 1990s. He worked well with Michael Jackson but not with Bob Dylan. He plays on Spinal Tap's album with Jeff Beck and other stunt guitarists.
