Slash received a star on the Walk of Fame Tuesday,  on the streets he once roamed as a kid. The legendary guitarist is number 2,473 on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

While you may know former Guns N’ Roses member (and current solo artist) Slash as a guitar god, we here at TheFW appreciate his love for our slithery, scaly friends. The rocker is a longtime fan of snakes, and at one point had over 80 of them in his home. (He gave them up after the birth of his son.)

The album comes shortly after the April 14 induction of his first band, Guns N’ Roses, into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame, at which all five original members are expected to be in

Slash has revealed the first dates for a 2012 U.S. tour in support of his upcoming sophomore solo album. The Guns N’ Roses guitar hero will be backed by singer Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators.

A year ago, Slash was in Texas rocking out with pop stars the Black Eyed Peas and Usher as part of the Super Bowl XLV halftime show. This past weekend, he was a good 2,000-plus miles away from Super Bowl XLVI in Indianapolis — and for good reason. The former Guns N’ Roses guitarist was in Los Angeles wrapping up his second solo studio album, which is slated for a May 22 release on Slash’s own Dik

 It’s a pretty universal idea that with the calendar about to flip over to a brand new year, thoughts of the last 365 days merge with hopes for the next. Slash has been doing some pondering of his own.  In a recent Esquire magazine column titled “Slash: What I’ve Learned,” there’s an interesting series of quotes from the former Guns N’ Roses guitarist — including some about his former band.
