I just saw a commercial with Slash playing guitar through the new VW.
Has everyone sold out now? I mean what's next?
Seriously?

god forbid someone uses their celebrity to make a buck.

...'specially someone as cutting edge as Slash. You know, with G&R cuttin' all those gold records these days 'n all.
is he even allowed near cars? i've never seen that guy without a bottle of jack daniels within 2 feet of him.
I lost all respect for Slash when he played on an awards show with an unusual choice of bandmate... "Introducing Michael Jackson and his friend Slash!" (still the weirdest line I've ever heard.)
Probably about 10-15 years ago.
Well then you should know that Eddie VanHalen played the guitar part on 'Beat It'. He did the solo. Micheal wanted him to solo over the chourus and he couldn't. Eddie suggested soloing over the bridge and the rest is history. That part is what made the song for him (MJ), Eddie didn't get a dime from it. Eddie did it as a favor.
As far as M J wanting Slash on a record...Ohhh hells yeah. If I was that good I'd play on his record in a heartbeat. Of course,I'd ask for royalties, which I think Slash gets.
I think MJ was still sane then too.
I think I know too much about music now.

I don't think he's sold out, he was probably asked by VW and agreed because it would probably be fun for him. He's probably already rich as hell anyways so I don't think one commercial will do much for him. But if he starts doing more then i'll start to get annoyed.
Yeah, I saw this commercial. He looks stoned out of his mind as usual.
Some kid I work with just paid $105 a ticket to go see Guns n roses tomorrow night, general admission.

I left early the one time I saw them(Day on the Green). They would have to pay me to go again.Some kid I work with just paid $105 a ticket to go see Guns n roses tomorrow night, general admission.
If I had the celebrity I would sell out in a heartbeat. being an artist is great and all but it doesn't pay the bills.
And yeah, didn't he sell out years ago?

If I had Slash's money I would be stoned out of my mind 24/7 too.
I saw them open up for the Cult in 88 or so. It was a small coliseum. I was passing out some cards for a Butthole Surfers show the next week at the Backroom (I think) and they walked up and started talking (GNR that is). I didn't get an autograph because I thought they would die. 2 months later they released Welcome to the Jungle (again, I think). Anyway - kind of cool to meet them, but not life altering.
Slash doing VW commercials is no gayer than guys drive Bugs or Jettas though.

I dunno, most people who complain about someone "selling out" are just jealous whiners. I mean, how much "cred" did Slash have before this commercial?
I don't know about "credibility", but he had mad respect from me. When we got the autographs his sentences were composed of nothing but curse words. I have total respect for people that make sentences using curse words as nouns, verbs and adjectives.
It was a joke, holmes.
In answer to your question, several.
btw - nothing wrong with the old "not girly looking" bugs.
I just saw this commercial - it's actually pretty cool, although I think anyone under 25 is going to say "who's Slash?" I was expecting some cooler guitar music too - that one sounds like something he made up on the spot, when he was feeling particularly lazy.
Slash aside, I don't get what the heck its for. So the VW has an Aux In? big frikken deal. I had a head unit with an aux in in my 91 Volvo Station Wagon 6 years ago......
not to mention that 'selling out' is supposed to refer to the selling off of ones 'artistic integrity'. Now tell me he wouldn't punch you in the face for claiming he had that in the first place....
...ooo no wait its all about street cred for the post-pubecent set....
lthumbsdown:
theres a reason that the word 'slash' in australia means 'piss'...
ie - i m taking a slash....

After skimming this thread, all I have to say is: corporate rock is as corporate rock does. Welcome to the jungle...
thank gawd Jessica Simpson is still 'core'...
