Slash's Top Hat Stolen

Guitarist Slash's top hat that he's been wearing for the past 15 years was stolen out of the limo that took him to the Grammy Awards last Sunday (Feb. 13), informed sources have told Blabbermouth.net. The limo driver swears he knows nothing about it and Slash wants the hat back. In addition, some personal things were missing from a bag Slash's wife Perla left in the limo with the top hat.

If anyone has the top hat and wants to return it (no questions asked), please contact Blabbermouth.net.

[Contraband]

Probably some semi-delusional psychopath stole in and has it in his home stored behind a glass case. Fag.

[canucksrule]

Holy shit! A picture of Slash without a cigarette dangling out of his mouth...

...oh, and tradgedy that.

[Gothic~Archon~!]

whoever stole it is an idiot look on ebay in a few days

[stratomaster 17]

yeah man some jerk has it in his home under glass
now for the cussin,hes a cocksuckin muther***in canadian

[metal_maiden1]

^^lol

probably gonna get sold back to him for like millions of dollars.

[ctb]

Bastards.

[Wartoad]

what jerk-offs!

[seafooodpistone]

but again..cant blame the thief for stealing it....when else can u get that hat??the hat that slash went life through with.woah.neway,slash must have been hi or drunk during that time.hehe.neway,with or without the hat slash,u still rock!

[JoelCMJ]

Punishment for leaving Guns N ROses.

[Wartoad]

^hey go to hell and burn you prick!

[AdamJonesWanabe]

i'd prolly wank it into the hat then give it back and look and smile everytime i saw slash wearing it then

[narmi]

A sad day in rock.....check ebay

[Blackbullet]

ebay baby

[krambiz]

RIP slash's hat.....*sniff*

[DireStraits]

I'll find the little bugger who stole it, rip of his head, and take the hat for myself... oops did I write that? I meant give it back to Slash like a good little boy.

[Strat_Monkey]

Personally if I had the hat I'd hold it to ransom for millions. Not that I do have it...

[GuitarGuy876]

I wonder if his playing will go downhill from here?

[walla]

what a load of bollocks. IT'S A FUCKING HAT.

[Metaldethrow]

Hey! Let me tell you hat-hating idiots something: If I had a hat for fifteen years, I too would be worried about it; it's something memorable.

For those of you hating on saying it's just a "Stupid hat" need to realize that it's about principle, not just some hat.

You narrow-minded people need to open up your eyes, and understand that it ain't just any ol' hat, but a hat that means a lot to Slash.

And I don't have a doubt in my mind that if you morons were in the same situation as Slash (Such as...the original Nintendo being stolen from your house), you too would go out looking for the theif!

You're all fools for talking smack about his hat, AND I'M THROUGH!!!

[Hypnot1st]

I hope it is returned, I would be so scared to give it back.

[cspin]

Slash's Top Hat Stolen

Hmmmm... Well that ain't good. He came out of his mothers womb with that hat on his head.

[slashfan10]

I read that Slash has like 3 of those hats but its still sux that someone stole it. That hat is what he is known for without that he's just another great guitar player

[DumbKids]

Thats hilarious

[AnnaPlaysGuitar]

All I can say is... wow, that really sucks.

[AnnaPlaysGuitar]

And JoelCMJ, he was fired from GNR. Axl sent a fax to MTV I believe. Besides, who would want to be a part of that dormant shitfest?

[n0selfesteem]

Dude why would someone steal slashs hat?! I mean seriously what do u get out of it? Now its yours great ***in job now slash is gonna be knockin on ur door ready to beat the shit out of u lol

[rockinlewis]

GNR are/WERE so much better than VR...but not any more

but honestly, who wouldnt take his hat?! i mean its slashes hat for gods sake!

[The_Next_Flea18]

Jeez thats like taking Slash's arm...hope he gets it back.

[Slash_GNR_VR]

Poor Slash! He should have worn the hat, I wonder why he didn't. It was obviously just a stupid thief who wanted the stuff from his wife's purse who saw the hat and figured he'd try to get a reward for the hat when Slash got desperate to have it back. Why did she leave the purse in there anyway? That's really weird!

[NirvanaTDGfan]

NOOO..!!!.. DAMN! that sucks ass. Come on dude! why would you take Slash's hat??? o well. I hope the douche bad returns the hat

[Thienskater]

you'll see his hat on Ebay soon

[Munje]

damn. i hope the thief at least makes some money off it. otherwise it's just evil.

[Voodoo Chile]

Damn. That's like... Slashs hat! You can't steal that!

[Tom Martin]

Thats one brave dude. I wouldn't steal that, I'd have every GnR fan in the world after me.

[Ahh Shaith]

LAAA..ME! Why didn't he just take his damn finger tips, too.

[ninja rhino]

it's a little funny cause if it was anyone else it wouldn't be this big but this is slashes hat might as well suck his technique out of him with it

[WindJammer]

On much less important note, hundreds of thousands of people are/have died in southeast Asia. BUT THE HAT!!!!

[RiseAgainst]

finally, i think that hat is gay. but you shouldn't be stealing from a rock star man, especially slash, i hope he realizes he doesn't NEED the hat, but gets his other stuff back

[mrsbrownstone]

Damn. That's like... Slashs hat! You can't steal that!

yah huh

[bon4ever]

Shit man. That sucks really bad. The person who stole that hat is a big ***er man. You don't steal a symbol of glamrock!

[bleedthefreak]

SLASH IS A TOOL AND THATS A PRIME EXAMPLE

[Nelsean]

If the Guy who has his hat wears it he will b granted all of slashers magical guitarist skills

[les_kris]

its like stealing courtney loves lack of talent, its what he is known for

[ctb]

lol

[Skywalker_90]

The hat is the source of all his powers, slash will now have to look to his mad ass hair for a temporary source of voodoo guitar playing magic until his hat is returned!!!..

[afirocker00]

Slash has one huge ego so I think this is hilarious.SERVES YOU RIGHT,ASS!














I want that hat.

[ld zppln904]

If anyone has the top hat and wants to return it (no questions asked), please contact Blabbermouth.net. ..lol

[metal4all]

That lil prick. Why did that bitch steal it. That muther***in hat was like a symbol of Slash. He's had that thing forever, and now some lil crackerasswhore steals it. I'll see that bitch in hell.

[slashVR]

afirocker00:
Slash has one huge ego so I think this is hilarious.SERVES YOU RIGHT,ASS!














I want that hat.

WTF?! How do you figure he has a huge ego?

That prick better give back his hat!!! I'd be extremely pissed if I owned the top hat and it was stolen.

[nirvanafuk23]

[bean-o]

That blows, i wont get to see him with his hat... o well i guess he can get a new one maybe.

[Whstripesrox]

thats hilarious

[WindJammer]

RiseAgainst:

you shouldn't be stealing from a rock star man, especially slash

Yeah, what sick mind could cause someone to steal the HAT of a multi-million dollar celebrity...

[Punk Poser]

for all those people who say hats arent anything imagine if someone like santa got his hat stolen. a war would start over that.

[The Lost Within]

whoa that sucks.. haha keep the hat in a safe or "climate controlled locker" like his les pauls for the Use Your Illusions World Tour.

[ndat]

hahaha that blows, but its kinda funny. Shit happens though buy a new hat.

[aliceinnirvana]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[THC-Llama]

OH NO! slah with out a hat! the horror! THE HORROR! he could go buy 15 gillion exactly like that if he wanted it that bad even if his hat does have cool sex stories and sentimental value

[danvergon]

O buhu cry about it, I like slash but its just a fuking hat.

[MissingLink]

thats ***in funny

[IlikeTheSKA]

I stole his hat.

[hypocrisy]

Some hardcore G n'R fan, most likely.

[atc228]

les_kris:

lmao!!!..

Punk Poser:

so true

and another thing, a lot of ppl say its just a hat, its not just a hat, top hats go for at least 50 bucks. thats 50 frikin bucks, thats a lot of money....

my heart goes out to Slash and his family

[carlsbad]

WOAH....I DON'T LIKE GUN'S N ROSES BUT WOAH....YOU CAN'T TAKE SLASH'S STUFF ESPECIALLY HIS HAT MAAAANN THAT'S LIKE IF YOU TOOK SOME PRO'S GUITAR OR SOMETHING!

[slashs_#1_fan]

JoelCMJ:
Punishment for leaving Guns N ROses.

for that little comment, God (coincidently Slash) shall punish you!


I hope they find it and put the guy who stole it on death row

[cspin]

atc228:

I wouldn't go as far as to say that! Its a hat! It's not like he lost his father!

[chilipepper24]

that's actually pretty funny. whoever took it has balls...and a sense of humor. will also probably be making a lot, whether on e-bay or by ransom. on the other hand, that's sad, poor slash, he lost his hat. he probably has like 20 of them....do you honestly think he's had the same one for 15 years? people lose shit...

[punkrockdude2]

cspin:
Slash's Top Hat Stolen
Hmmmm... Well that ain't good. He came out of his mothers womb with that hat on his head.

LMFAO!!!

[zakk_wylde4]

I doubt the hat will be on ebay, there are people out there who would probably pay 40 thousand for Slash's hat, heck, Eric Clapton's black strat went for a million dollars.

[Duff_McGee]

Damn. . .

[lionheart0117]

Why in hell is this news? I like him as much as anyone, but it's a frickin' hat, people.

[jameseades]

i have it

[johnnycashCLASH]

oh tht hat was great
slah is god and the hat was his crown
but it must be worth a fortune

[bagboyt]

this is too much for a stuid hat if he wants he could probaly go get another

[nirvana666]

lol thats pretty funny! but honestly, its a hat..... A HAT!!! ahahahahha

[Shea Donoghue]

Oh no. Not a top hat. I like Slash but seriously. Crying over a hat? Even I don't fall that low. I'm not insulting Slash or anything because he probably didn't say "HOLY ****! I LOST MY TOP HAT! SOMEONE WRITE A NEWS ARTICLE!" I honestly thing UG is wasting their time on writing a 2 paragraph story about a top hat.

[Shea Donoghue]

Lol and one of the paragraphs is just askign to coem forward. Ya ok. "I stole Slash's top hat." Pfft. I'd sell it on E-Bay. Some guitar freak has to bid something high for it

[SLASH_MUSTAINE]

wat a horrible day it is.well the person that took it will probably sell it anyway but the top hat is somewhat slash's trademark look maybe he should replace it with a kfc bucket jus like axl did when slash left the band

[Slash-Page]

NOOOO...Slash NEEDS his tophat! But atleast he still has his amazing guitar skills. Phew.

[Antzzang]

lol i just realized how ugly slash looks in that pick

[The_Roth_KungFu]

oh no, without his magical hat, slash will be reduced to strumming powerchords!!!

[im not mental]

well, he's got money. he can just get another one.

[gary666]

what a bastard... but a lucky one. u and i both know that he wont give that back. But stealing things from his wifes purse is much worse IMO. i reckon it was the driver.

[gary666]

(Such as...the original Nintendo being stolen from your house)... i'd pay to have that stolen. Bad example!

[Jpinales2004]

that sucks

[FrEaKGuItArIsT]

:P That suck's ass...I love that hat!

[flyanmyan]

that sucks ass. I'll be on the look out for that hat on ebay...not that I can afford it or anything.

[dionysus85]

its just a stpid f*cking hat
go down the road and buy a new one
jesus what bullsh*t

[Blood_Covered]

FIRST DIMEBAG NOW SLASHES HAT....OMG!111..

[thepuddingking]

[BluesonaPaul]

the dude who stole it is probly runnin around his house naked wearin the hat and doin the axle dance to sweet child o mine

[Unseen_hero]

oh my god a fucking hat!

I read in another article that the mites residing in the brim were also stolen.

[IlikeTheSKA]

Don't cry over spilled milk, or a stolen top hat.

[fenderplayer 13]

That pisses me off! they shouldnt steal the hat, its just wrong!

[hXcMacbeth3]

thats hilarious

[killer_mop]

NO NO NOT THE TOP HAT ANYTHING BUT THE TOP HAT TAKE THE GUITARS HE HAS PLENTY OF GUITARS!!! NOOOO NOT THE AWSOME TOP HAT WAAA..H! :'( :'(

[atc228]

i think we should get scooby and the gang on the case...

[MrLucky77713]

Wow... his top hat... You all whine like little bitches. I'm suprised you find yourselves capable of ranting at emokids. You pussies.

[The_Wicker_Man]

OH NO! that hat was sacred!

[Contraband]

My love goes out to Slash's family. Going through hard times :p

[biohazardous59]

poor hat?

wtf its just a hat hes probably had like 1000 of them in his career

[clockwork555]

this is a sad day in the history of rock

[Gothic~Archon~!]

^joel u idiot slash needed to leave g&r axl is an as****e and you know it

[garagerocker69]

what kind of sick person...?

[hoobariffer87]

It is just a hat, but the small blanket that you had since you were 4 months old that got shredded by the vacuum cleaner was just a blanket. If I took something everywhere with me for 15 years, I'd be pretty upset if it were stolen.

[Blackened-World]

LMFAO HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHHAHA AHAHHAHAHA H AH AHAHA OH GOD AHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA AHAHHAHA AH AH AH AHAH AH AH AH H AHAHAHAHAH H AH AHAHHAHA JEUSS CHRIST WHO FUCKING CARES ITS A HAT... LMFAO OH GOD

I wouldn't go as far as to say that! Its a hat! It's not like he lost his father!

i really hope these were sarcasm

anywayz this is hilarious
and i dont really care that slash lost something assumed to be really personal and precious to him
man it must have been so important cuz you know he just left in the limo and someone jacked it

[CryingNut]

It is just a hat, but the small blanket that you had since you were 4 months old that got shredded by the vacuum cleaner was just a blanket. If I took something everywhere with me for 15 years, I'd be pretty upset if it were stolen.

yeah if it was something that precious
would you leave it in a limo carelessly?
unless your extremly naive and believe everyone is like an angel
if i had something like that
i would be paranoid and never let anyone touch it
but i would let them see it
cuz i would be really proud of it
yeah

[kornrules09]

I guess if you carry something around with you for 15 years, you don't expect it. Whoever stole it should give it back and (cruel form of punishment goes here) should happen to them.

[gunsn'pjs]

it was axl
that really sucks though
whoever has it better give it *** back!

[Jpinales2004]

BluesonaPaul:

lol. oh shit. lol.

[Rockn_Clay]

grrr that sucks im seeing velvet revolver tomorrow night in sydney nd i want to see his hat!!! lol it prob was axl the stupid ass hole!!

[Rockn_Clay]

[The UG Squirrel]

NOOO..!!!..

[pjjames]

hey i was the one who took it

[forgot_it]

if anyone thinks they are cool because they stole from one of the coolest guitarist (and person in general) ever, they really need to reevaluate their lives.

[Vinura]

no way..i saw him on saturday and unless he has multiple hats he got it back

man...that was the best time of my life

[Tarlo]

Yeah, I saw him last night and he had a top hat on. If it was 'the hat' but...

And yeah seeing slash walk out on stage was the thrill of a lifetime.

[Ddevil]

hahaha, this reminds me of that simpsons episode where homer goes to rock camp. he stelas elvis costello's glasses and elvis says "AH! MY IMAGE!"
pity it was stolen, i hate people that steal stuff, had my guitar stolen not long ago, luckily it was insured but you can replace things of high sentimental value such as slash's hat.

[Ddevil]

*steals....dammit

[Ddevil]

*can NEVER replace...dammit again

[Rockn_Clay]

^^^^ haha there are other cool instruments... like bass!! *plays bass* haha

[civ182]

[stiff-upper-lip]

same, it really was awesome,

[Rodders]

slash stole the hat in the first place from a charity shop or something...he has three of them....he made guns n roses....

[Rodders]

Velvet revolver are good too....

[guitarhead]

Rodders:
Velvet revolver are good too...

not a patch on guns though!

[Pabloria]

Axl was the one who stole the hat!

[bigal]

If I was Slash I would be farking spewing! Whoever has it will either hoard it for the rest of their life or be stupid enough to try n sell it!

[mrozinski]

well if it was a delusional fan, at least he didnt do what that other guy did to dimebag.

[riley_mullet59]

that hat and angus youngs school boy suit should both have tracers in it. i saw slash on mad tv. i dont think he was at the grammys but he was at a awards ceremony. the little asian dude scared slash away by saying that he wasnt gay but he was still atracted to slash. id run too.

[shreddin_frets]

first the hat, next, the pack of marlboros!!!!!
