Should I watch to see how lame this is going to be, or should I pop 8 Ex-Lax tablets at once?

From Rolling Stone...

As for American Idol?s Rock Week, Velvet Revolver?s Slash will tutor the four remaining contestants ? and possibly audition new VR frontpeople ? plus the reunited No Doubt will perform.

KERI KELLI To Perform With SLASH On 'American Idol' - Apr. 30, 2009

Keri Kelli (ALICE COOPER, VINCE NEIL, SLASH'S SNAKEPIT, SKID ROW, WARRANT, RATT) will join VELVET REVOLVER/ex-GUNS N' ROSES guitarist Slash for next week's "mentor" appearance on "Rock Week" on "American Idol". Slash wrote on his Twitter account, "I'm going to attempt to make 'Rock Week' on 'American Idol' exactly that."

I don't care who he plays with or what he does as long as it's not Kelly Clarkson, because then I'll have lost my bet with Jim Bob.   

  This thing next week is moving you pretty damn close to losing that bet 

I'm gettin' a little nervous......

This just might end up being a good AI week.  I never watch it and still won't as I'm at work in the evenings.  I think it's also great that No Doubt will perform.  I love Gwen Stefani.  We'll have to wait and see what happens......

As for anyone thinking it's horrible for Slash to do this....didn't Brian May once do this?  Just a question.

I don't know if Brian May did the show or not.  My main problem with this whole thing isn't necessarily about Slash doing the show, it's more that this is what we've come to.  Slash, and many other respected acts, are choosing to go on this god forsaken show because it's a monster.  It gets huge ratings.  I wish it would've died by now but it doesn't appear it's going anywhere and it's gained more and more respect in the music world, which is what I don't understand.  I just don't like the show, plain and simple.  Then again it really doesn't affect my life one way or the other so Slash could become a judge on the show and I could care less.

The show started as Pop Idol here in the UK years ago, the man behind all of these shows is Simon Cowell and regardless of what you think of him or the music he pushes, as far as business goes this man is a fucking genius and knows exactly what he is doing.

Man, if Slash liked so much money, he woud stayed in Guns n' Roses, remember that HE quit. What wrong if people cares about hi and invite hime all the time whatever. Slash is an artist, as long as he being involved on Rock issue, it's everything fine.

I truly laugh at people who act like Slash is so absorbed with money that is all he cares about


what has he done exactly for money that other artists including Axl haven't done?

[DeN]

that ?

or that ?

but he's doing that just to keep himself busy, not for money.....

why is it ok for star athletes to do commercials w/out criticism but for rock stars, they are money hungry sell-outs that are the cause of all the worlds evils?

[D]

People don't realize that Slash once he left GNR was basically starting over and had to promote himself to build his name and own brand up. without that GNR umbrella, doors are tougher to open

Its funny how everyone is allowed to make money except for rock legends. Its like people expect him to sit in the house and do nothing just to protect some bullshit "legacy" or what not. Regardless of what he does, he will always be an icon and one of the greatest guitarists ever.


I'd rather have a band sell out a little, but I can enjoy them, than have a band like Pearl Jam who may have integrity but because they don't want their fans paying 10 extra bucks for service fees, dont play venues therefore the fans can't see them.

I mean, I'll pay the 10 bucks as long as I get to see my fave band. I'd rather do that than not see them at all. how about PJ knock 10 bucks off their ticket price if they are so concerned.

[AxlsMainMan]

Once Slash starts doing commercials for Target and Duracel batteries like Jon Bon Jovi, his posters are coming down.

Jon pulls that shit off somehow. He has a way of doing shit without it seeming as sell outish

So commercials for VW are okay? As much as it pains me to say it Slash is a Sell Out.
 

[Dayle1066]

What constitutes a sell-out? If he wants to do it he isnt a sell out. If he is forced to do it for fortune and fame he is. Last time I checked he made his fortune and fame being in one of the best, genuine rock n roll bands ever. I hate the term sell-out, people have no idea what it means
