Let the “Slash is hiring impersonators” conspiracy theories begin! Not only is he allegedly giving i-bankers guitar lessons at rock and roll fantasy camps, he’s cloaking himself in more and more hair and hats, as evidenced by this report from Velvet Revolver’s sparsely attended show in Trenton, N.J., on Saturday: “I was seated close enough that I’m firmly convinced it wasn’t even Slash on guitar. You think he’s flying out to Trenton just after Christmas? Seriously, you could’ve found any guitar player, slap a curly wig and top hat on his head, strap a Les Paul over his shoulder, slip him into some leather pants and voila: secondary market Slash.” [phillyBurbs.com]
