Slash is good, and I am a big fan of Guns N Roses. I am aware of Slash's multiracial background, he's just not one of my favorites. I have a hard time justifying it sometimes since Axl Rose is such a sexist/racist/homophobic ass.

RipHer2Shreds said:

I agree. Slash is cool, his style though 2 me is pretty typical, standard. He didn't even come 2 mind. But on the race thing, Slash is a brother as far as I am concerned. I'm Creole, but I'm still black.

I feel bad about forgetting Shuggie Otis on this thread...I oughta Punch Myself!!
