The Slash incident in Milan and The Ultimate Rock N Roll Badass.

I got into revisiting Clint Eastwood movies as of late, all because Gran Torino was on Star Movies again. And yeah I'm a big fan of Western films you know that. I'm sure I can't go wrong on a marathon of big bore rifles and bad guys being sent to hell before I tuck myself in. With that I wondered, who is the ultimate Hollywood badass??

You then translate that from your mind down to Google and you get loads of garbage. For damn sure Javier Bardem's name is going to make the list, no doubt about that. But other than the funniest line from No Country For Old Men, you get other links too. Man I can't remember if it was Yahoo Answers (again) that dug that crap up but seriously, Vin Diesel? As far as my metal ass knows he ain't one bit of a BA for one second of his fame! 
Well I shouldn't be askin that in the first place. It's Clint Eastwood, no shit. 


You must have seen this coming. Who's the ultimate Rock N Roll badass?? One thing's for certain, it's not Glenn Danzig.

Talk about bad reflexes! On a serious note though, fuck that rap metal dude. Just the name of his band makes me flinch thinking of the thug music they bring. I wish I had more space here to bitch about that. 

Going back to bad reflexes, a few years ago I was browsin on some news of a then-rising Velvet Revolver, I remember reading all of the members enlisting and training for some Kung Fu shit or some other martial arts training. To 'relieve stress', apparently. But with all those lessons and after all that happened before (Dimebag, Lennon), Slash is still kind of slow in his reactions during his Sweet Child solo in Milan. Click here for the full Blabbermouth update. It didn't make that much of a noise, being buried in all the Big Four blow-by-blows at the height of the Sonisphere mayhem. Jump to 1:15 for the rush.

It was cool of Slash to just make fun of it, to just 'air guitar' his way out of awkwardness. I won't take him for a BA really, but I dig his guts confronting Chris Holmes of W.A.S.P. at the Rainbow. That part of his book is just insane.


Now I can't help but share my favorite video, which, well I got from a martial arts mind-conditioning talk, how 'bout that. As a classic example, obviously. I would say that from the way Keith handled and maneuvered his guitar, either he might be King Arthur's descendant or he's really into some serious broadsword training! Look at how he got back to shaking his A, it's like he never missed a single fucking note! Now, that is badass..

If you still can't accede to the fact that Keith has to be in this article, go to the Facebook group 20 Reasons Why Keith Richards is a Fuckin Badass! and know why. Maybe you're too much of a sloth to do that, lemme lay down the list:
