Slash made an appearance on BBC’s car show, Top Gear, recently, to promote the upcoming release of his new album, “Apocalyptic Love,” due May 22.
A good chunk of the session was, obviously, spent discussing cars.
“My first car, that I paid for with my own money, was a Honda CRX,” said the guitarist. “It was a cool looking little car. And then I gave it to my brother and I got a 1996 427 Corvette Coupe.”
After an extended conversation with one of the show’s hosts, Slash was shown doing a timed lap for the segment "Star In A Reasonably Priced Car."
Watch the video to see how Slash’s lap time stacks up against other guest drivers, including Alice Cooper.
Viewers were also treated to an unusual ending for the show: Slash performed a live version of the program’s end theme music – the Allman Brothers Band’s “Jessica.”
