Slash & Duff From Velvet Revolver

It always amazes me that Slash remembers me every time we hang. He & Duff are good people. I met them the first time, backstage at the Orpheum Theater in 1987. They were just starting out. We shared a few beers, and a guy named Rod Smallwood, who manages Iron Maiden, kept trying to buy my denim jacket off my back for $100. I had had a kick ass artist, hand paint the album cover of the first Maiden album on the back. I then, lent it to a chick…and yup…never saw it again. This is from 2004 in Boston.
