Slash Comments On Top Hat

Velvet Revolver guitarist Slash's trademark black top hat — one of rock's most recognizable images — is finally back in his possession after it was missing for over four weeks, reports Blabbermouth.net. The acclaimed guitarist's hat was taken from his limo the night of the 2005 Grammy Awards (February 13) in Los Angeles. It was recently recovered by the Hollywood Police Department, who are still conducting an investigation.

"All things considered," Slash said, "it was such a blown out of proportion, wacky scenario. I'm still getting reports from all over the world that someone's got the hat. I'm just glad to have it back and we’ll see what the cops come up with as far as who stole it." He continues: "It was a trip to go sit in the little room at the police station and they came in with a box and opened it up. I saw it and said, 'Yeah, that's it.'"

[Lost_Rose]

Quality the hats been reunited with the god

he should write a song in memory of its absence

[irbrent]

glad he got it back. but this article is pointless, he got it last week and all this says is he is happy

[ClosetMonster]

oh who cares, it was a hat.

he could buy 500 billion of them if he wanted.

[stiff-upper-lip]

ok, we already knew this, like a week ago. now shush, i want more interesting news. lol, like Slash sed it was blown out of proportion. he was just gona get another one made anyway if that one dint turn up.

[danielreid]

"they came in with a box and opened it up. I saw it and said, 'Yeah, that's it.'" haha what an image!

[rock_star77]

Who really cares? I mean he's a good guitarist... but the guitar makes the man not that hat... plus you're really milking the whole "Missing Top Hat" thing.

[slashwyldepage]

slash kicks ass. i want that hat.

[griff1987]

avnt the police got anything better to do than investigate a missing top hat?

[BadMoFo]

I bet that hat would go for a million dollars on ebay! Slash rules.

[ronnie clone]

its gd that he got it back

[mr_johnny_lee]

It is a little extreme to get the police to do an investigation into it.

[heavymetalnoize]

It's funny how the only person that doesn't seem to care is Slash himself.

[lifeofagitbox]

Haha, that's so hillarious how the Police came in with the box and showed Slash. I'm Glad he got his trademark back.

[sephiroth5789]

its good that he got it back but it is obvious he didn't care that much like he said this whole incident was blown madly out of proportion

[sephiroth5789]

like what lost rose said "right a song about it" I am sorry bud but that is just stupid why would he waste his time to write a song about a hat he didn't even care he lost he was just going to make another one

[joshsirjoshules]

hmm like i want to know about a hat that somebody lost, i lose money all the time but i dont make statements to the general public

yeah i know i'm a real prick

[Nirvana_RATM2]

lol yea i can imigane that " Sir is this your hat? , " Yeah thats the one" lol

[beers]

i stole the hat

[Night Revolver]

Slash got his hat back ... Music to my ears~

[glpledzep145]

this is ***ed up... the past 4 articles posted about slash were about a ***ing tophat... ok, so he is a guitar god, and maybe it was worth it to post an article bout his trademark, but c'mon people... 4 FUCKIN ARTICLES!!!

[atc228]

i love slash and all, but im begining to doubt that he knows what "all things considered" even means.....he uses it with everything!(ok, it might have worked in this context but hes used it befor and it just doesnt make sense!)
congrats to Slash, but as he said, its not like theres a person in it....

[GuitarJunkie]

well, it was blown out of proportion, but the guy who took it deserves a good old fashioned ass kicking

[teej]

cool beans

[untilurreformed]

this sounded like a title from an article in "The Onion." i thought was a joke at first, because i was like, "hey didnt that issue get resolved like last week? and even at that didnt anybody point out... hey its just a hat."

[fenderplayer 13]

FINNALY IT IS ALL OVER!!!

[stratomaster 17]

ahhh.. finally we can sleep at night

[ctb]

Nice. Good old Slash eh? He didn't diserve that.

[a dozen furies]

now slash can stop bithin around about this pointless ***in hat

[team mark]

'Yeah, that's it.
this is so emotional i think im going to cry

[arsonite]

Yay!!! He has his hat back!!

[IamJonsCranium]

my favorite guitar strap is missing, maybe i should call the FBI

[metal4all]

His hat's back! Three cheers for him, Hip hip..hooray!! ah screw it lol. It's back, it's all cool.

[Icas]

yes, we shoudl all write sogns about this, so nobody will steal it again...

[The Fiddler]

...the police are involved in a top hat robbery...what has this world come to?

[LedZeppelin]

Slash is my hero, and I'm glad he has that hat back.

[carlsbad]

forget slash the hat's my hero,lol

[madefortvmovie]

i like the way that even slash is sayin this whole incident is ridiculously blown out of proportion. i would be embarassed if i were in his place that such a simple and superficial story got so much attention

[giorgio1210]

rock on slash!!

[ELEVEN]

its not ridiculus to waste time on writing a song about a hat, its ridiculus for slash to write a song.

[SingingBassist]

Some ask "who stole it???", a better question is why the hell does it matter, i cant beleive people care if slash loses his hat, dont people have ne thing better to do than follow their idol's every move so intently that they care if he loses his f#@%ing hat.

[ce12872001]

I'm glad he found his hat, and I like slash, but who gives a sh*t.

[Shea Donoghue]

Lol. A hat. A hat! Lol. "I stole it". He he he

[Nirvana101]

Man I want a top hat... quality like slash's

[slash=king]

a dozen furies:
now slash can stop bithin around about this pointless ***in hat

you're a ***in idiot, when did slash bitch about it?
but this whole thing was blown way out of proportion

[nirvana666]

wow.....im glad slash isnt making a big deal of it.....this is a pointless story lol

[Ahh Shaith]

...The moral of the story is top hats are cool.

[Overrated]

wow, he has his head gear back. The world is now a better place because of it, and hopefully this will be the last article about a quite pointless topic.

[kjohnson08]

i bet if i told the police someone stole my hat they wouldnt care.

[ANewFoundPride]

can anyone say, tribute song to his top hat?

[Vinura]

that hat is just as legendary as the guy who wears it

[Drew11]

who cares!!! he looks stupid wearing it anyway

[Guitar Skater]

the hat IS Slash

[Rockers_88]

i'm glad to know this happy ending ,missing thing is ***ed

[RiseAgainst]

it was hat, who really cares, buy a new one
if that was me i would have sold it on ebay
but he is an insane guitarist, so i guess its good he got it back

[Stonerpmp]

who would be so low to steal slash's hat? a noose for there neck.

[dieiervonstn]

i can see the UG headline next week... "slash and his hat, doing fine after therapy"goddamn , leave it alone and go find some real news

[dieiervonstn]

i can see the UG headline next week... "slash and his hat, doing fine after therapy" goddamn , leave it alone and go find some real news

[dieiervonstn]

sorry for the double post, computer is ****d up

[applax]

they need to make a movie about it just so at the end the cops can come in with the hat in a box

[unknownalone]

you people need to get over slash, he is not the best guitarist ever, nor is he a guitar god, for him to be a guitar god then no other guitarist would equal him, and believe me, there are plenty that do. if i would have had that hat, i would have pissed on it, shit on it, and then set it on fire

[the_clairvoyant]

im sick of slash, hes soo OVERRATED... i stil like his solos tho

[r_lightning]

the_clairvoyant:

[PistolPeet]

legend

[Fatbassstar69]

just a hat. but its his image. but like he cant afford to by a good quality replica..

[HendrixFan434]

slash is cool, but who gives a damn about a hat, its his playing that is important, which still rocks so far....lol

[HendrixFan434]

btw, unknownalone, is a freakin idiot, slash does rock, hes right, not a GOD but still BETTER THAN YOU ARE DICKWAD SO GET OVER IT

[slashrocks24-7]

Woohoo, the hat rocks!

[goober]

i like cheese

[slash_1989]

hay ''unknownalone''. you ***ing small minded bastard, slash is too a god, admitidly he is not 'THE' god of guitar but no-one is HOWEVER HE IS ONE OF THEM small minded wankers like you need to just piss off, iff your not going too say anything that is Remotely inteligent then just sit down, take a deep breath and SHUT THE FUCK UP. you prick!

[kjb]

Its simply ironic how police investigate a celebreties mising hat and not asome por civilians robbery or murder or whatnot..... Maybe now that his hat is back they can do it?

[dgme92]
