And Finally
No Slash-wear at GNR gigs thank you very much

I’m not sure I believe this, though it’s one of those stories of supreme pettiness that you long to be true. TMZ are reporting that Guns N Roses fans wearing t-shirts featuring the band’s original guitarist Slash were asked to turn their clothing inside out at a recent GNR gig in Canada, and to leave any Slash-inspired top hats at the door.
The gossip site says a security guard at the gig told them the no-Slash-wear rule came directly from one of the gig’s promoters, who was presumably keen to save Axl Rose from having to spend the evening looking out into an audience of Slash imagery. What with the former rock-mates’ famously long-running feud and Axl’s band now being a weak imitation of its Slash-era self.
