Slash was Propositioned by
Axel Rose
Those of you hoping to see a Guns N’ Roses reunion anytime soon need wait a bit longer, presumably when a cold front sweeps through the ninth circle of hell. During a recent interview with GQ Slash made it abundantly clear that no amount of money could entice him to work with Axl Rose again.
In fact Slash claimed that he was approached on several occasions by interested parties and each time the former Guns N’ Roses guitarist left obscene amounts of money on the table. “I can’t remember exact numbers, but it’s excessive,” he said. “Oh, you know – seven, eight digit kind of things.”
As refreshing as it may be to see a musician place ethics above profit margins, Slash insists that he’s not one to dwell on the past or waste his time with pointless hypotheticals. “I am a pretty realistic kind of person, and don’t expend energy worrying, ‘What if?’,” he said. “If I hear great music we did together, I respect it for what it was and appreciate it. But I’m not like everyone else around the band who wants to somehow try to recreate it because there’s so much money to be made.”
Looks like local favorites Junkie Rush may have set another attendance record at House of Blues Orlando this past Saturday the 16th.

Central Florida Rocks recently had the pleasure of speaking to the one, the only Mr. George Thorogood the KING of SLIDE and "Three Bar Boogie."
