REALITY CHEQUE SLASH?

[cyllan]

The above subject line is the title piece of a snippet from today's Daily Star.? The text is as follows:

"Wildman rocker Slash used to have an Appetite For Destruction - now he could be following in the footsteps of Gaby Roslin.? The tattooed Guns N' Roses guitarist - famous for his trademark bottle of Jack Daniels and top hat - has been asked to star in the saccharine singing show, Just The Two Of Us.

The BBC reality show has previously starred telly presenter Gaby, 42, former Atomic Kitten Natasha Hamilton, 24, and GMTV's Penny Smith, 47.? It pairs celebs with renowned musicians.? Each pair performs duets in a bid to stay in the show, while the public votes off the worst acts.? It is understood that Slash, 41, has been promised "a substantial fee for his participation in this show".? It's not yet known if the rock legend will agree."

For those not familiar with this paper, it's a British tabloid rag akin to The Sun and Daily Mirror; just one step up from the Daily Sport - i.e. rumour and gossip are what fuels many of the stories on its pages.? So, take it for what you will...?

I doubt they will have him on as a singing contestant (because he can't really sing  ) but they will probably have him on as a special guest musician. Although it would be cool to see him on TV I think it's far too cheesy for someone like Slash to appear on.

I agree.  He hated singing.. it took a miracle to get him to do a demo of ISE, if I recall correctly.

[Top-Hatted One]

I'd do it for the money if I was him even if I hate it

[mdttkk]

slash isnt a sellout

[eddiesson]

and probably rich enough not to care such an offer.

[Robman?]

i've never knowingly heard slash sing. i know he did some on TSI but hes drowned out by Axl, any songs he sings in prominence?

[codenameninja]

Slash has sung it's so easy live before. Quite where Axl was at the time i have no idea 

[Ines_rocks!]

oh my god.. I really hope this isn?t true... it would be funny but I?m not seeing our Slash doing this.... nooo way!!

Not true. Duff sang ISE live when Axl wasn't able to perform and they had to leave the tour (but played one song and explained the whole thing).

thats probably why u'll never amount to anything

[Nighteyes]

god,if this is true i hope he won't do it

[MikeD]

damn, I don't suppose anyone has a copy of Slash singing ISE they can post here.

[AtariLegend]

The Daily Star also said a few months ago during the World Cup that Axl was renting Michael Owens plane to fly all across Europe during the tour.

Why is he doing the VW commercial then?

Donald Trump's done commercials, do you think he needs the money? Look at all of the top name athletes who do commercials. I doubt Slash needs the money but who knows!

yep, who knows. I haven't  seen his financial statements. I agree some extra cash can't hurt, even if you have plenty.

if this show is anything like that Duets show thats been on in the US, he needs to stay clear.

Cheech Marin was on as well as Peter Frampton. It was awful.  Singing Cheech!!!!!!!!!!!!
