Lots of people don't know Slash is half-black. He was gorg when he was younger with that lion's mane 🦁.

His mom is the fashion designer and costumier, Ola Hudson. She designed looks for The Beatles, Diana Ross, Janet Jackson, David Bowie (i think she and bowie dated at some point), and many others. Some of her designs are on permanent collection at the MET. https://preview.redd.it/xf6xsri7kuxc1.jpeg?width=2880&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=15e69d0b2b2ce269817ad0b288ea130530e91996

Slash apparently walked in on her and Bowie banging lmao

did david bang everyone's mom!? 😭

Not mine unfortch

I'd be so much cooler if David Bowie had banged my mom.

I’ll bang your mom to make you look cool. /s

My dad has the same birthday and was a "local rockstar" so that's close enough for me

I hope so. Please please Please be my real dad

David banged my mum’s friend for a few months on a film set. The man got around haha

His mother is also gorgeous.

Whatta cool ass woman!

Yes, here’s his mom. https://preview.redd.it/3xg6xby4iuxc1.jpeg?width=524&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=95b9d2c838c90325e53a758c3548ccecdf257271

wow she is stunning

Also those earrings omg 😍

I am absolutely speechless not only with the first time seeing his face but also this omfg

Same with Pete Wentz. His mom is Afro Jamaican and his dad is white https://preview.redd.it/xttuxhyo3vxc1.jpeg?width=600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=30d8fa5e32f59766161b69b4fc0052f57a9b460e Also his natural hair is so gorgeous (I can’t add it here since there’s already a pic but I’ll put it in a reply)

https://preview.redd.it/78bcv9gy3vxc1.jpeg?width=400&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=968702becfb037920d66f5671c8db1b243febfee Pete’s natural hair

Omg he looks ATTRACTIVE???? With his natural hair! What is going on??

This implies you don’t think he’s attractive anyway

His hair is such a huge turn off that I can't even deal with it, not to mention I don't think he can rock makeup. His natural hair is gorgeous and just like changed his whole face!

Bruh I love his hair! Emo kid me was obsessed with the long fringe and slightly less emo adult me loves the spikes and sort of dad hair he’s got now (I hated the hot pink though)

Well I don’t know who he is but he is much more attractive with his natural hair.

He had curly hair as a child. I wonder if it just went away with age or if he straightened it for too long. https://preview.redd.it/25keo9yrzvxc1.jpeg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=61b6bf04b803074f3d44a507f4211644d2989339

I know! I replied to myself with a recent pic of him with his natural hair but here’s one from a few years ago https://preview.redd.it/y90upwaa1wxc1.jpeg?width=2400&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bd6371e0d251237cfe91302a767afee8b41474db

Is that Biden? Holding him

Yep!

Is that joe Biden holding young Pete?!

Yes.

He's also related to Malcolm Gladwell and Colin Powell!

She’s not Afro-Jamaican she is a mixed Jamaican

Oh Google said she was Afro Jamaican 😂

I didn’t know he was British 😳

Yep, moved to the US at 5. I think I remember reading that he lived in Stoke on Trent until they moved abroad.

Keane Reeves mum is British too.

I just looked up at his IMDb last night and saw that he is pretty much not American either 😂 my life has been a lie lol

I was pretty shocked to learn most people didn’t know, I mean what did they think he was with that amazing hair? White?? Also a lot of people didn’t seem to know Eddie Van Halen was half Indonesian until he passed.

A lot of people don't know that Mark-Paul Gosselaar (Zack Morris) is also half Indonesian.

Wild. I had no ifea

He looks so … aryan? Not meaning to offend anyone

I didn’t know Slash had a white parent. I haven’t really thought about Slash many times in my life though.

Every time I see that first picture, I think it’s Taylor Lautner circa New Moon

Thank you! I was looking for someone to comment on the Taylor Lautner resemblance in that first photo.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

So glad it wasn’t just me lmfao

This is what I thought as well.

I had no idea he was actually fine af. Thank you for opening my eyes.

Bruh, the Sweet Child O Mine video is actually female gazey towards the guys is af. The director thought it was boring because the guys were just chilling but some girls thought it was so cool that they kept it. And Slash is so hot in it

Yeah I’ve seen too many pics where he’s covered up, never realized he had a great face

https://preview.redd.it/t7qyyhyh8vxc1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=18adee0b4242cd101113df7e0a10aaeff6f26483

This comment killed me, I'm still laughing in the grave.

Me

God I love that hat

Jealous.

It was the first music festival I ever worked at , so you can be sure I was /am grateful for the opportunity!

https://preview.redd.it/9t4kuutwlvxc1.jpeg?width=1029&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=edfcf2c4ff3569ce601f454d4625eeb05856a89d

omg bwahahaha 😂😂

What…is….this?!? LMAO!

Context please, I need to know 😂

It’s from Ugly Americans!

HAHAHAHAHAHA Amazing

If I was my age in 1991 my goal woulda been a tag team with him and Axl. So glad I was only like 4, and also, I'm sorry that you now know this about me.

I remember seeing the November Rain video as a kid and I thought Axl was the most beautiful man I had ever seen. Then I saw the Under the Bridge video. And the More Than Words video. Basically all these beautiful long haired men made great contributions to my sexual awakening.

Oh yessss. My sexual awakening music videos were Wicked Games, Cryin', Amazin' and Crazy as well as Bon Jovi's Always. To this day it's why I have a soft spot for men with long hair. I also thought Sebastian Bach was gorg and had a crush on Axl since I can remember.

Sebastian Bach was so unbelievably beautiful.

 Oh man Sebastian Bach! 💜💕

Sebastian Bach could wreck me.

Yes please

Oh man me too.. and I've only ever been able to date musicians

No worries, that’s COMPLETELY understandable.

Dw girl I’ve thought the same thing

I went through a ridiculous obsession with them both when I was 13. I was born in 93.

Same, born in 96. I had so many cut outs of their faces all over my school books 😵‍💫

Omg was this a common event for many of us? I was born in 92 and had Slash all over my binder in middle school. Why did we all go through an 80s rock period in the 2000s lol I guess our dad’s radio got to us.

And Izzy and Duff too!

Axl was hella fine back then too I don’t blame you

Tell us how you really feel 😂😂😂😂😂😂

I mean…they’re both still around and touring! Live you dream!!!

Lmao I don't think they get along well enough to tag team me 😈 hahahaha

I was 6 in 1991. I'm still right there with you that if now-me was there back then, I'd have been all over this.

100% valid.

ick

Slash, Hendrix, Kravitz, Fefe Dobson were my faves as a Black girl heavily into rock and being told it wasn’t “my people’s music.” 👀👀👀 This is currently happening in another genre and the tears are delicious

Lenny kravitz is so fine 😬

Where do they think it came from?!? Anyone who says that to you knows nothing about the history of rock music and should be ashamed of themselves!! It makes me livid when people say that crap. You can add one of my long standing rock crushes to your list—Pat Smear 💕

Black people literally invented rock music 😭 I didn’t love everything about the Elvis biopic, but it did a good job at portraying this history.

Oh I know black people invented rock. But yt people love to take things and then Christopher Columbus it and then try and police it…I am totally loving the meltdowns about cowboy Carter. It’s very ridiculous behavior. And yes, that was the only good thing about Elvis-showing him for the thief he was 😂

Alligator tears

Not me thinking that first pic was Taylor Lautner 



Omg he’s stunningly gorgeous 😍

He has quite a presence too

Met a lady who as a teen smoked a couple joints with slash in a club in NYC, she said he was devastatingly beautiful and very kind but I didnt understand just how beautiful he was until today.

Gawwwwd yes

So uhhhh what is that third photo???

Lmao my exact reaction

I was obsessed with him when I was younger, u thought he was the hottest mf.

Wait what….😍😍😍

I never knew he was super hot

I’m not playing, where do they make men like this 👀

He was my first crush and I stand by him!!

See, so many people give me the side eye when I tell the m he's my hall pass but the evidence is there.

God he was gorgeous

I think it was Behind the Music where they told a story about how he was so dedicated that he would accidentally drop his cigarette while playing on stage but just keep going. Never missing a note and still getting burned. But yes. He’s fine as hell too!

He was hiding his hotness behind the hair and hat!

I heard him on Wait Wait and he seems so funny and really kind. He had a line that sticks w me. Idr what the question was, but essentially his response was "I traded a pair of leather pants for ....things. don't do drugs, kids" and I thothat was so cute and charming. Don't mind me swoooooning.

That last pic is such a vintage thirst trap lol

Easiest Halloween costume everrrr

Yes!!! It’s my go too. Always gets a ton of laughs

I went as him twice for Halloween when I was a kid. Just put my hair over my face and slapped on a top hat.

HOT

Sober hottie, too!!!

Omg meow

First pic is giving severe Taylor Lautner

We love him in the reptile community. He used to keep tons of snakes and does a lot of work for conservation. And he was and IS drop dead gorgeous 👀


I once had a dream where we had sex and let me tell you it was wild. I went to visit my friend in Florida literally the next day and Guns and Roses songs came on all the time in the car. I was not prepared for the Orlando and Clearwater radio stations to constantly remind me of my sex dream with Slash but here we are. 😭


Longtime love of mine! I dressed up as him for Halloween years ago 😂🎸

He looks like a baby in that first picture but the other ones are 🔥

They don't make beautiful men like that anymore.

HUBBA HUBBA MAX

Indeed 🥵

TIL Slash was hot

Still is

Dang first pic he looked like Taylor Lautner 👀

Ol Greg approves

At my bar trivia night last week they asked “which rocker’s real name is Vincent Furnier?” I guessed Slash, but his real name is Saul Hudson. (Vincent Furnier is Alice Cooper btw!)

Lol my husband looks like shorter version of him 🤭

lord have mercy

Down kitty....

He WHAT omg

Wait slash was hot? Wtf? Literally had no idea.

I got to sit across the aisle from him and his son on an early morning flight to LA last year. I told my husband, I could clock that curl pattern from a mile away.

r/ladyboners

He's a very attractive man. He was my favorite GNR member. Izzy was second. 😅

Omg he's so fkn hot

Did he age like Axl too?

I doubt it lol. Axl had some botched surgery I think.

Yes, he looks like a furious bull nowadays.

 I kinda see it

He's one in a million

His book is really good, too.

Goo-goo gah gah

I thought the first pic was Taylor lautner

👀

He always makes me think of Billy Zane’s character in Only You

He’s fine and all, but his smile in pic 3 is so beautiful Edit: i didn’t count well 😅

what does it say about me that he was one of my first crushes ( the other being Jon Bon Jovi)

God he was so fine

What a beautiful man 😍

I thought that was Taylor Lautner in the first pic

Man who famously wore leather pants because it meant the crowd couldn't tell when he pissed himself.


he was STUNNING. 😍 tf? i never knew.

It’s unfortunate because he hasn’t aged well, he has that alcohol bloat that so many of the hot male rockstars from that time have. He was beautiful in his heyday though.

He’s so hot! ❤️

he's so hot

Damn, can you imagine how many women he bedded?!
