Slash To Receive Walk Of Fame Star

[slashthe2nd]

Guns N Roses guitarist Slash is set to be the first member of the band to be honoured with a star on the world famous Hollywood Walk of Fame.

The ceremony will take place on July 10 at the Hard Rock Café, Los Angeles, and the former wild man won’t be alone as hell raising actor, and ‘tiger blood’ enthusiast, Charlie Sheen is set to attend along with other big Hollywood names, such as movie producer Robert Evans.
 
Anna Martinez, the producer of the Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremonies, told news site WENN: "We are proud to place [Slash's] name among the stars on our fabled Hollywood Walk of Fame."
 
The 46-year-old rocker will be the 2,473rd star on the walk, a world famous landmark, which features the likes of movie stars Keifer Sutherland, Adam Sandler, Jennifer Anniston.
 
Slash, is to be the first member of Guns N Roses to be inducted into the walks alumni, and has beaten former band mate and notorious diva Axl Rose to the honour.
 
The two are estranged, after Slash’s departure from the band in the early 90s, and Rose has even gone as far as to ban fans from wearing t-shirts bearing the guitarists name at shows.
 
Meanwhile, Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose recently turned down his entry into the New York Rock and Roll Hall of Fame saying he does not feel wanted or respected.

It's funny how this piece of information is now appearing in every GN'R related article. 

I like the choice of words ''has beaten'' as if it were a competition. I don't think they'd get Axl to attend one of those things. But I know Slash will and there's nothing wrong with that. Congratulations.

La Familia won't like this...

To be honest, who gives a fuck? I stated a long time ago ago that I didn't give a fuck about the hall of fame (and that was long before I knew Axl was no-show)

Corporate whores, I don't need some hollywood executive to tell me what should be classed as legendary.

[smoothie illusion]

Pretty cool I think. I wouldn't mind a star just for being a beast at guitar.

Why?

So it happened yesterday:

The iconic musician, real name Saul Hudson, was accompanied by his wife Perla and his two sons, Cash, eight, and London, nine, to the ceremony.

The former Guns N' Roses rocker was beaming from ear to ear as his star was unveiled and happily posed for pictures with his family.

The guitarist's close friend Charlie Sheen also attended the ceremony.

I don't mind Charlie's dig at Axl at all. But I feel sorry for Slash that he cannot go through one media event, even one entirely dedicated to him, without being asked about Axl, and if he isn't asked about Axl, then someone else mentions Axl. 

Grammy-winning iconic guitarist and Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame inductee Slash marked a career milestone today, Tuesday, July 10, as he was honored with his own star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame. Slash's star is located directly in front of the Hard Rock Café on Hollywood Blvd (6801 Hollywood Blvd, #105 Los Angeles, CA 90028). Slash's friends — celebrated film producer Robert Evans, actor Charlie Sheen and beloved radio host Jim Ladd — were guest speakers at the fan-packed ceremony. Afterwards, Slash and bandmate Myles Kennedy treated fans to a private acoustic performance and exclusive question-and-answer session at the Hard Rock Café on Hollywood Blvd.

Charlie Sheen, a neighbor and personal friend of Slash's who called himself a "Rock Star From Mars" when he underwent a public meltdown amid his firing from the CBS show "Two and a Half Men", spoke at Slash's induction ceremony. He said, "It's quite fitting that Slash is getting a star on the very street Axl Rose will one day be sleeping on."

He added, "This star is going to be stepped on more than the coke we did in the '80s."

It is a stupid thing to say by Charlie. It wasn't even funny.
