Title: Slash's charity wrist band's
Post by: Jamie on June 02, 2005, 06:26:49 AM
Slash; along with other rock stars including Scott Ian and Ozzy Osbourne are releasing charity wrist bands with their own personal messages over the internet and at the Download festival. I am planning on buying Ozzy's and Slash's band. Anyone else?

Not sure. As far as I know there's no pics released of them, I just read about them in Classic Rock magazine, Slash's message (if my memory serves me) is "Rock n Fuckin Roll." then there's that skull thing he draws whenever he rights Rock n Fuckin Roll, a bit like the AFD skull. After that is says "God Help Us All". Ozzy's says "Wank For Peace" (which I think is genius!) And I dont know what the others say cos there the only two I'm really interested in!

I think the pics will be released on the 6th. At least that's when the web site (www.whateverittakes.org) will be opened. And that's where ya buy em too.

Are they for any charity or just for fashion?


Title: Re: Slash's charity wrist band's
Post by: Jamie on June 04, 2005, 04:53:34 PM
It's a charity called 21st Century Leaders, and they deal with various issues, including child abuse, the environment, and employment rights in 3rd world countries, they have lots of support from different celebrities including Billy Connoly, Yoko Ono, and now Slash n Ozzy but there's much more. There site is www.21cl.org.uk but as I said before the bands are to be ordered from www.whateverittakes.org

why does Slash's band cost 1? more than Ozzys?


Title: Re: Slash's charity wrist band's
Post by: Jamie on June 15, 2005, 05:42:01 PM
I think it's cos Slash's one is thicker, that's what it says on site.

Got my Ozzy band today, but still haven't got Slash's one it says on the site that both are in high demand and that delivery may take up to 30 days, I ordered this day 2 weeks ago and now have the Ozzy one. So I'm expecting Slash's in the next 16 days.

If you're in the UK, go to your nearest Virgin Megastore.

If that fails, try www.whateverittakes.org
