Here is a recap I found at the gnrbar.com website:
http://p202.ezboard.com/Slash-On-Howard-Stern-This-Morning/fgunsnroses14385thegnrbar.showMessage?topicID=39031.topicInteresting interview. They're all big fans of GNR so they had good questions. Long ass interview, sorry.
-Interesting Childhood. Made sure Howard knew his mom was a good person and a lot of what happened was behind her back.
- His mom dated David Bowie for a year and a half. Slash didn't like him because he was the first guy after his Dad.
- First drug experience was at the age of 12 [crack?] with a boyfriend of mom's
- Saw Sly from the Family Stone doing drugs
- When he got together with Steven to start a band as a kid, he was going to be a bass player. He went to a music school and the teacher was playing the guitar and having Slash accompany with bass; he changed his mind on the spot.
- Doesn't define himself by race
- He and Steven were the biggest druggies in the band. Said Axl was never a drug addict.
- Made clear that he left the band, not fired by Axl. Thinks a lot of the ill will comes from the fact that he thinks Axl feels abandoned by him.
- GNR started to deteriorate when Izzy left. Izzy was the mediator between Slash and Axl. All the contractual stuff soured him as well.
- Cheated on his wedding night [first wife] with Perla
- likes the Foo Fighters
- Only time he used music charts was with Ray Charles
- Told the story of Izzy coming on his leg [I'm sure everyone has heard that one]
- Thinks Guitar Hero III is awesome
- Plays Chess. Howard challenged him. Slash also plays a lot of poker [watches it on TV and plays a lot of it on his cellphone]
- Was in rehab last year for Oxycotin
- Slash's SCOM riff was something he just did in rehearsal. When he was doing it, the rest of band started coming in with backing stuff and they just played along for a while. They didn't know Axl was upstairs. He was listening and wrote the lyrics while listening. The next day, he told them to play the song they were playing the day before. He started singing the lyrics on top of it.
- Liked grunge because he felt more in tune with them than the crappy hair bands and arena bands that were playing prior. Thinks grunge is just rock; an extension of Guns
- Not working is what usually leads him to doing drugs
- NOT in to double penetration
- Ron Jeremy tried to double team a girl that was servicing Slash at a party once
- Hetfield crashed at his place once and he was with a girl. Slash had to get into the room he was in to get something. He walked in on Hetfield head fucking a girl. And he was doing the patented Hetfield noises...yeeeeaahhh-haaaa
- Blew the AFD signing bonus. He didn't want to put it in a bank because he had liens on his wages, so he carried around traveler's checks
- The Hard Rock incident. In Axl's defense, he says Axl had no idea he was coming and it wasn't Axl who barred him, it was the manager; who he hates .
- Thinks it should be made clear to fans that GNR doesn't have original members in it. Thought that was weird to say
- Book signing in New Jersey tonight
- Gary made fun of Buckethead. Slash says Buckethead is very technically proficient but he's not a rock guy. The music has no soul, no heart. You can tell when a guitarist is exposing his emotions through the guitar and Bucket doesn't have that
- Refused to answer a question about Axl and women. It was very jumbled; wasn't sure what Howard was trying to get to.
