The Life And Times Of Saul Hudson

Slash is set to pen his autobiography. This oughta be good. Via Blabbermouth:

Matthew Flamm of Crain's New York Business reports that former GUNS N' ROSES and current VELVET REVOLVER guitarist Slash just sold his autobiography to HarperCollins. The British born, California-raised axeman will work with writer Anthony Bozza, who helped MÖTLEY CRÜE drummer Tommy Lee pen his memoir, "Tommyland". The manuscript is due to be delivered in the fall.
Let's play "Name Slash's Autobiography." Post your entry by Tuesday 2/27 at 6PM EST. Best title wins a copy of the book, whenever it comes out. Given how much Jack and Stoli the guitarist consumed through the '80s, we're thinking it may take awhile to piece together. Still, betcha it's out before Chinese Democracy.

UPDATE: And the book goes to ... Nick with his gem Appetite For Deconstruction. Granted, that's a better GN'R bio title than one for solely Slash, but it's so good that the publishers should just snatch it up! Nick, we'll be in touch and you'll get a copy when the book comes out. Congrats!

It's going to be called "Paradise City" or something equally as stupid.

I would guess that most items in the book will be either remembered through a clouded mind or exaggerations. To keep integrity, the book should be mad libs.
Example: And this one time we _____ a chick with a ______ while shooting _____ and snorting _____.

that's right...slash has more cool (not to mention talent and fame and money) in his little toe than any of you people doggin' him could ever hope to achieve. what's he done the last 15 years?!? where've you been - under a rock? CLUELESS! geez

slash of course is a rock god. he's the best guitar player ever.
In the past 15 years he formed two awesome bands, slash's snakepit and velvet revolver.
The other day he was in argentina and he showed us that not only is he a great perfomer but he also has GLAMOUR, and thatz something u'll never ever have faggotz. So as far as i'm concerned u can put a stick up in your ass and disguise yourself as a lolipop.
And if you don't know what slash has done during the past 15 years is because you no nothin' 'bout rock and u r a pop music bitch piece of shit.while u were postin' your opinion slash was counting millons.
Get yourself a life a go to the britney spears website.
welcome to the jungle.
argentina n' slash ruleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Hi faggz. yes, it's me again.
there's sthing i can't stand, if you dn't like slash or gnr why the hell did you visit this site.
I just can't get it.
have u ever listened to the november rain's solo?
it's the best solo ever.
I guess guns and roses was the best band 'cause they got heavy songs and incredible balads.
I'm quite happy 'cause steven adler is comin' to argentina. If you don't know he is one os de original members of gnr.
give me the name of five bands better than gnr.
argentina, slash, lucia fleitas and me rule.
