Oh, ok. Know what? That was an awesome piece of info just to pull outta your butt like that. You must kick ass at Trivial Pursuit, as do I!

thebanishedone said:

While Slash and MJ might not go out drinking or looking for women, they do get along well. Slash played on "Black Or White" "DS" and I believe "Privacy" (but he went uncredited.) So that means he played on:

Dangerous - 1991
HIStory - 1995
Invincible - 2001

That would mean that they have been on good terms for 10 years. Don't forget Slash also played at Michael's MSG show in 2001.

While I wouldn't consider them great friends based on this alone, I'd consider them friends because they must get along to some degree to keep in contact this long. They also must have respect for each other's talents to work together on 2-3 songs.

They certainly seem to be friends. The have a very good working relationship at the very least.

slash isnt uncredited on privacy.before guitar solo you could hear michael shouting" slash"

thebanishedone said:

Yeah..that is true but in the "Invincible" booklet for credits..his name is nowhere to be found. Believe me, I've looked

He played on Give In To Me & Morphine, too.

Cloudbuster said:

Give in to me! That's the one I was thinkin of!

they both have an affinity for animals. Slash stated in an interview this is one of the things they had in common (i can't see there being much else). Slash has never had a bad word to say about Michael from what i can gather.

Militant said:

Yeah...thats when Slash wouldn't get off the stage right?
That freaked me out... I was thinking...get him off the stage he has to dance

TheSmyrk said:

Yep..he was also in the video for "Give Into Me" also.



And he was on the cover for single:

jasonstar said:

Yes. And the songs and videos are damn near identical.

ThreadCula said:

i think you're thinking of the MTV VMA's in '95. He played over the intro to Billie Jean and it was ace.

Marrk said:

Yeah that is an old James Brown thing or something like..I was once on a forum or something that James Brown use to do that or something..?

jasonstar said:

Yeaaaahh the VMA's, thanks for clearing that up

Lisa Marie was in the audience looking pissed

cause they were after an argument.

ThreadCula said:

Lisa Marie only has 2 expressions: pissed & bored.

Funny. So does the audience at her shows.

As you all know SLASH has worked with Michael Jackson. Look for SLASH on the Dangerous album also,
Slash performed alongside Michael Jackson at the 1995 MTV Video Music Awards. Slash performed the guitaring in the Black Or White segment of the performance, which included a seemingly unplanned 90 second solo, during which Jackson had undergone a costume change for the next song, Billie Jean.
According to artistfacts.com:
Slash played on Michael Jackson's albums Dangerous and Invincible. He also played live on "Beat It" and "Black And White" at Jackson's 2001 reunion shows in New York City.
Answer to your question.."Are they friends?"
Most likely "friends of mutual admiration" regarding their individual talents.
personal friends. ..no supportable answer found.

Slash was talking to these (i guess) radio hosts, and they keep trying to get him to say something bad or laugh at their stupid Michael Jackson jokes but he didn't. He kept saying Michael was very professional and was great to work with. Slash also appeared on a special about Michael, I forget what it was called but he was talking about Eddie Van Halen's performance in Beat It and the Thriller video. I like Slash, I even have a Slash t-shirt. It's funny seeing the expressions on people's faces when I walk through my hood wearing Slash on my t-shirt

Slash once talked about being surprised when first meeting MJ. He thought with his squeaky clean image (at that time) he'd be judgemental of his lifestyle, but was cool.

Also, during the time of the trial I know of some fans who went to a record signing or something for Velvet Revolver, one wearing an MJ T-Shirt and he pointed it out to compliment them.

Awwwww
Now that is nice

jasonstar said:

Slash at that time was a known guitarist, and Jackson at that time was paying the most money...

MickG said:

You might be right. Perhaps Slash was making no money in G'n'R. Santana was probably broke in '01 come to think of it. Yeah that'll be it.

Marrk said:

As I recall, GnR were broken or breaking up. Slash was having to deal with the asshole ego of Axl Rose,, I am sure slash just wanted an easy job that made him some easy money.

Why isn't this thread deleted? I know you didn't make a thread asking if Slash and Michael are still friends? Gee I dunno are Jennifer Batten and Michael still friends? What about Sheryl Crow. I think we need 10 more posts on each associate on that . You can't be serious

"NOTE: Easy on the multiple same-topic/artist threads, okay? ? If a certain topic on (let's say) Michael Jackson has already been posted, don't create another thread with the same topic. Unnecessary or silly MJ (or any artist) threads may be locked or removed at moderator's discretion. Thank you!"

Right, because he was a bit hard up after GnR's last tour & his collaboration with Lenny Kravitz
