Cool interview...... GNR Mentioned among other things...

Feel free to move. Only posted here because of the GNR reference in the conversation.

[meanmachine73]

Because there was mention to GNR!   Don't be such a jobs worth............ Get a life!

[Atillla]

But Slash is EX-GNR ... so stop whining 

[JDA]

Cool interview.  The time isn't right now but maybe someday.  I would like the new Guns to do some things first. 

[kobys]

Slash comes off as being very intelligent and well spoken. Also, he didn't even smoke during the interview!

Yes, but just as interestingly, in my view, was the fact that his current band and its future (or lack of it) was not addressed directly at all, nor was there any mention of his proposed solo album.  I only managed to discern a veiled reference when the interviewer asked his opinion on internal feuds in bands like The Police and he replied that he wasn't really aware of it and anyway "[he'd] got enough issues of his own".  The fact that he didn't appear to make any effort to promote VR makes me highly suspicious of his remark earlier in the week about this not being VR's last tour.

Did he basically call Amy Winehouse an amateur?

Did he basically call Amy Winehouse an amateur?

In reference to her drug intake, I think. Not in so many words, though.

[cyllan]

Did he basically call Amy Winehouse an amateur?

Well by his standards of "recreational chemical" use*, she probably is.   

* In former years, I hasten to add.  I'm not suggesting that he currently indulges to the same extent.

[Smoking Guns]

Great interview.

[FunkyMonkey]

"I don't pay much attention to you know like the internal stuff that goes on with other bands...I've got enough issues of my own."

[SpiritDave]

Did he basically call Amy Winehouse an amateur?

Absolutely not ... there's no such thing as a pro or amateur drug taker ...

what Slash was saying quite clearly, was that he doesn't see her drug taking as that big of a deal.  I suspect he was baffled at why the question was even asked.

Probably not allowed to smoke, notice he was definately chewing a piece of gum though!!!

[fuckin crazy]

... but there is chippers and pretenders.

[D]

There is nikki Sixx, Anthony Kiedis, Slash type addiction and then u got your smaller scale type stuff. There is definitely a difference.

[Olorin]

Did he basically call Amy Winehouse an amateur?

No, as far as I understood it he was referring to the ridiculous media over exposure and sensationalism.

He said her situation didnt seem that big of a deal to him, and it doesnt seem like a big deal to me either. She is just another junkie who uses drugs, big fucking deal.
Curse these camera phones, you cant take a dump and read the paper in peace now without it turning up on News 24.

Oh give me a break.

One, I was kidding.


And two, quite obviously, through the course of history there have been professional drug users.

[W. Adam S]

That was clearly a promo for Gibson. Shame on you Sky 'News'.

Why do I have to give you a break?  I was hardly insulting you   Chill out.  And professional drug users can be classified as someone like a student who takes a pill or two for a few dollars for medical research.  But rock stars? No.  Never.  It's never been a profession.  It's been a result of being a professional in an industry that is surrounded by those things ... but never a profession.
