I DON’T KNOW WHY SO MANY OF YOU ARE SURPRISED THAT $LA$H WAS ON AMERICAN IDOL

I mean, it’s not like the dude has been some bastion of artistic integrity the past, oh, decade or so. He’s performed with Puff Daddy/P. Diddy/whatever the fuck his name is now, and Fergie, and done an AmEx (or was it Master Card?) commercial, and a car commercial, and wrote an autobiography primarily based around years that, by his own admission, he doesn’t really remember all that well. Obviously, the guy comes from the “You Pay Me I Show Up” school of decision making.

Yet our inbox has been flooded with e-mails of outrage that $lash would “sell-out” and appear on America’s most annoying television program. What can you do? Just blast Appetite as loud as possible and try to forget that this shit ever happened, or remember that this American Idol episode(s? I didn’t watch) is probably at least 30% less irritating than a Slash-less AI.

    At least the “rock” moniker this year wasn’t hung on a show surrounding someone who was a rock icon 45 years ago. So it’s got that goin’ for it. I guess.

    If somebody’s paying, Slash’s playing

    When “$la$h” becomes as ubiquitous as “Micro$oft”, we can all pitch in to get him a diamond-encrusted eponymou$ necklace. Then he can finally unveil the crunk album he’s been tweaking since 1997.

    Slash has always been overrated… and Appetite for Destruction was my favorite album in the late 80′s

  • d.o.g.o.b.g.y.n.

    …and people still have the nerve to bash Axl.

    Wait a minute. What are these fags doing watching American Idol in the first place? Seems like they are just as guilty as Slash.

  • HagstromSpeed

    Im gonna go hang myself now…I wish a terrorist would run in there and kill everyone, I cant stand that stupid fucking show that millions of tasteless music listening Americans watch…

  • Cat Tyrson

    Fuckin’ Aye. No words can express the absolute suckage attached to that one…

  • Saul Brownstone

    The dude is working on his solo album so this may be some kind of lame marketing attempt… As for the album I guess we can only hope for notBestButSomewhatDecent and fear of the worst.

    slash is an industry unto himself! whether it’s American Idol or Guitar Hero or commercials, he’s bringing guitar skills to audience who never knew the guitar could be played past the seventh fret. and YES HE REALLY CAN PLAY! Let him play! he doesn’t represent the unsold majority anymore. he’s been on the inside his entire life! and the guy has died twice! let ‘em cash in!
