Slash: "I'm addicted to Twitter"

Former Guns N' Roses and current Velvet Revolver guitarist Slash has revealed he is addicted to the social networking site Twitter.

"I'm a fucking Twitter junkie now," the guitarist told Spinner. "It's a sort of lifeline to your audience that's in real-time and as close to in-person as you're gonna get."

Oh great... more people on the waste of internet twatter. Slash is a God, but does he really need to bother with all those brain dead teenage retards who think folks give a monkeys crap what their doing 24/7 and have the spelling skills of a 4 year old? He is above that.

Slash is great but perhaps needs a better hobby, lol.

If youre too famous to be able to go out in public anymore, its too much of a walk from your mansion/too much effort to take the ferrari out for a spin to your local celebrity filled pub... you can spend all your spare time too telling your fans on the waste of space online diary that is twitter how great they all are, and vice versa! just dont upset your audience.. aside from anything musical, drinkable or snortable-this is where you can spend all your spare time. everybody else does the exact same thing with their friends and family through facebook/bebo. minus the drug taking!

Of course twitter is a great way to be able to talk "face to face" with your fans, provided your fans can easily find your official profile, but aside from the celebrity factor its got nothing else to give.

Well as long as he's addicted to that and not drugs, then it's not really a huge deal lol. I've had 5 messages off him in the past. It's a great way to keep in the loop with your favourite artists, and it's nice that you can actually contact him online. 20 years ago there was no way in this world people could imagine being able to talk to their favourite artists, let alone being able to do it via a computer so easily. Twitter doesn't have many uses, but being able to talk with your favourite artists online is pretty cool. That's the only reason I use it. And anyway, I'm sure Slash has a million and one other things that go on in his day other than goofing around on Twitter.
