SLASH REFUSED TO ALLOW MICHAEL JACKSON NEAR HIS CHILD

Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash's autobiography was good value for money with plenty of amusing and occasionally sickening anecdotes (take note, Ronan Keating and your discussions in print form on the perfect way to make a nice cup of tea). It looks like Slash was holding some anecdotes back for a second volume, should he live that long, and he's been spilling a few more beans to this month's Uncut magazine about the time he met Michael Jackson in London.

Despite the guitarist having been around some of the seediest people to litter rock through the last two decades, he took special care of his two-year-old son when Michael came a-calling. Not because he thinks the Peter Pan-faced star is guilty of anything, but it doesn't hurt to be careful does it, whereas some other things hurt very much indeed.

"You know, I give the benefit of the doubt to Michael on everything - innocent until proven guilty and whatnot - but I was thinking, okay Michael, you figure out your shit and I'll hold on to my son!"

And indeed it should be pointed out that Michael was found innocent... sorry, not guilty, of all the charges he faced.

		LiamLayor on Thu 03 January 2008 said... Never trust an American whose name translates poorly in England, see also Hilary Swank, Anyone called Randy oh and puff daddy.
		simpsonharvey on Thu 03 January 2008 said... Born in Stoke-on-Trent.
		Person on Thu 03 January 2008 said... He was always sound on peeds, Slash. Also would commentators please note that Slash is not simply "an American", but that he was in fact born in Stoke and that his father was an Englishman.
		Belms on Thu 03 January 2008 said... I take it you're not a big "The Nonce" fan then (I shit ye not)
		Dollydagger on Fri 04 January 2008 said... He may be Stoke-born, but he still has an impressive collection of tobacco sunburst Les Pauls.
		boo!khaki on Fri 04 January 2008 said... Fucked by Rock is a good laugh but it's still a bit tame compared with The Heroin Diaries. Now when Dave Gahan writes his autobiog, that WILL be worth waiting for. You know you've got a problem when Bobbie Gillespie and Throb try to tell you to calm down a bit ...

Eh, must be hard living in Primrose Hill and hanging out with Kate Moss and those cokehead cunts, hehe. Oh, and getting paid for the odd Glastonbury job. The coked up loser also shops for MC5 tshirts on Ebay. LOSER!
