SLASH Opens Up On Drink And Drug Debauchery Of His Past






Heraldsun.com.au is reporting:

Guitar hero SLASH (VELVET REVOLVER, ex-GUNS N' ROSES) has opened up about the drink and drug debauchery that almost made him another rock and roll casualty.

"Alcoholism and drug addiction is great. You can go down that pit and stay forever," Slash revealed in Melbourne today.

"But, for me, it's about music and family and forging on."

The former guitarist was scared straight after a drink and drug bender in 2006.

"I had a really solid run about three and half years ago of complete debauchery. When I was in a total bottomless pit, I looked around and said: 'You know, this really isn't that much fun.'

"I dropped it and haven't done it since. And I don't miss it."

Slash is in Melbourne to perform for music channel, MTV Classic, at the Palace Theatre tomorrow.
