Slash to ignore smoking ban

2007-06-27 by samthebassman | 24 Comments
Slash has insisted he will flaunt the smoking ban which is set to be introduced in England next month.

The former Guns N' Roses guitarist was apparently involved in an investigation following a Velvet Revolver show in Wales recently after lighting a cigarette.

However, he insists he will continue to break the law on-stage and is happy to accept the fines which will be served to anyone who does smoke from July 1.

Speaking about the Velvet Revolver concert, where he illegally smoked, Slash said: "Yeah you know what, they didn't come to me. No one said a word to me about it.

"I heard about it (the investigation) though the newspaper and s*it like that. And I was like 'Well f*ck I didn't know!'. I thought it didn't start 'til the 1st (of July)."

However, Slash said nothing will stop him from smoking. He told XFM: "And even if I had known. Like I'm not gonna smoke during a show!

"So if it's gonna cost me £50 every gig. I'll just tout some tickets on the side to make up for it."

Smoking is cool, where have you guys been for the past 30 years? You can't have Slash without a ciggy on stage and you can't have ying without yang. So in effect, the smoking bans going to make almost no difference to anyone anyway. Apart from the fact that it will piss off pretentious mothers who drive huge 4x4's to pick up their only child from school.

Lemmy is God and Slash is his right hand man.

So Slash is going to ignore a British smoking ban. Hardcore.

This will just be a gateway crime though. I give it 4 months at the outside before the papparazzi catch him littering when he throws his now-illegal cigarette butts on the ground instead of in the garbage can.

From there, it won't be long before he's jay walking on the grass you're not supposed to walk on while loitering in a "no loitering" zone right before he goes to the supermarket and pushes 13 items through the "12 items or less" express lane.

The answer is no. If anyone else has seen him in person, he hits so many bum notes.
