Slash Sells His Stuff

Over the past 25 years Slash has collected a lot of stuff - from guitars to cars to clothes to, erm, model dinosaurs and now it's your chance to get your hands on some of it as the guitarist sells off some of his personal possessions for charity.

Reuters is reporting that he has recruited Julien's Auctions, which specializes in selling entertainment memorabilia, to sell off 14 of his prized guitars (including the Guild acoustic with which he recorded 'Patience') and some of the other personal items that have been in storage or cluttering his house.

"I have a bad habit of collecting stuff that I don't necessarily use," Slash told Reuters.

But a recent house move provided the 45-year-old rocker and his wife, Perla, with the perfect excuse to open their storage closets to fans and to boost the coffers of a local charity for abused and homeless adolescents.

The crown jewel is a 1966 Corvette Stingray, estimated to sell for at least $90,000 to $100,000, and described by Slash as "a monster of a car."

It was the toughest item to let go of, because it was the first good car he ever bought just as Guns N' Roses were becoming big stars in the late 1980s, and it is largely in original condition. Fluffy dice are included.

But the car has been sitting in storage while Slash drives new Aston Martins and his wife ferries their two young sons in an SUV. "I know that somebody would love to have that car because muscle cars are very, very popular," he said.

Jackets, T-shirts and jewelry -- with skull motifs in abundance -- are going on sale, and two of Slash's trademark top hats.

And then there are the model dinosaurs, which would thrill any 6-year-old boy and evidently did the same to an adult rock star.

"My house was completely immersed in prehistoric animal lore," when he started dating his wife, Slash said.
