This black t-shirt was worn at the 51st IPL 500 Parade on May 24, 2008 in Indianapolis, Indiana by legendary guitarist “Slash” (Saul Hudson), of the Rock N’ Roll groups Guns N’ Roses, Snakepit and Velvet Revolver. The faded black cotton t-shirt has a white circular chain graphic with the “Noisy Addiction!” surrounded by infamous punk band names in a mirrored arrangement, Black Flag, Sonic Youth, Sex Pistols, Nirvana, Misfits, Motorhead, Velvet Underground, Dead Kennedy’s, The Cramps, and Ramones. Printed on the back is a large ear graphic with earrings, “Noisy Addiction!”, and “Chain with no end?” within a square frame. On the left side of the shirt is the graphic “Blackstaff: Cool Fuck’n Clothes” printed with a skull and bone. The brown and yellow tie-dye corduroy pants by House Of Lords were most likely worn in the Velvet Revolver era, and show signs of wear on the hem and belt synch holes. These garments were acquired direct from “The Collection of Slash” auction on March 26, 2011.
Slash’s critically acclaimed guitar playing along with his visual presence and raw stage performance helped turn Guns N’ Roses into rock and roll legends, and to date the band has sold over 100 million albums worldwide. Slash is considered by many to be one of the greatest guitarists in the history of rock and roll. His opening riffs on such G N’ R songs as “Sweet Child O’ Mine” and “Paradise City” remain some of the most universally recognizable guitar parts ever written. Europe’s best selling guitar magazine “Total Guitar” ranked his opening to “Sweet Child O’ Mine” at # 1 of the “100 Greatest Riffs” list in 2004, and “Guitar World” listed his solo from “November Rain” as # 6 on their list of "The 100 Greatest Guitar Solos" in 2008. Slash was honored with a star on the Rock Walk of Fame in 2007.
The item is in good condition with minor evidence of wear. This shirt was acquired directly from Slash’s personal wardrobe collection and is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
