Did Slash play SWEET CHILD O' MINE on AFD?

[skitzocalypso]

I don't want speculation, I want an actual 'answer.'  I remember hearing from my guitar teacher that Slash was too drunk to record the parts for Sweet Child O' Mine so 'someone' else recorded it.  I've heard this rumor from numerous people throughout my life and I wouldn't put it past the guy -- obviously he wrote it and can 'play' it -- but, I'm curious if anyone knows that REAL answer to this question -- I'm anticipating --

"yeah, he fuckin' played it," or "who do you think played it?" -- but, that really isn't going to answer the question.

He played it, anyone who tells you otherwise -

its slash, lock thread.

Ha! Interesting theory man, but I doubt it...However, I'd feel very sorry for the poor soul who agreed to play the parts without being credited on the album..Maybe it was Paul Tobias?

No, do not LOCK the thread because this is a very POPULAR rumour and I'd like to either find a legitamate answer or who the rumour claims played it.

Thanks Monom -- it's not MY theory -- in the words of Vincent Vega of Pulp Fiction -- 'it's just what i heard.'

well, the rumor is not legit. it IS slash. No further discussion is necessary.

I never gave it much merit because I wanted to believe that it was him.

I would not put it past him to get drunk so he could intentionally 'NOT' play on the song, in hopes that they wouldn't end up recording it.  We have to remember that he hated the song, he WAS a WILD man and that his parents hot him into the music business, which probably made him feel like he could act however he wished...but, then again, I'd still like to believe it was him.

slash got drunk too much?    he could choose another day to record it, that's not a convincing reason to me

[dave-gnfnr2k]

[bi0h4z4rd]

Slash was absolutely hammered that day so Axl asked me if i minded doing it. I said sure, he bought me a few drinks afterward, to say thanks and stuff, and nobody said anything to Slash. Took me about two hours in total. Glad you liked it, and please don't tell Slash.

where the fuck is Carlos Booy now anyway?
