Slash’s Wife Critiques Axl Rose’s ‘Jimmy Kimmel’ Appearance, Weighs in on His Weight

Angela Weiss, Getty Images Slash may be telling interviewers he’s finished discussing his years in Guns N’ Roses — or his relationship with Axl Rose — but that moratorium apparently doesn’t apply to his wife, Perla Hudson. Mrs. Slash tossed another log on the long-smoldering feud between Rose and his exiled former guitarist in a recent series of comments to Us Weekly , indicating she was less than impressed with Axl’s appearance earlier this week on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ “I was waiting for something enlightening and all I got was promotion for a show and his evident affinity for a chili burger,” quipped Hudson. “Where is the love, Axl? And I stayed up for this? Sex, drugs and chili dogs. Long live Axl Rose. And a Halloween tree.” Continuing to joke about Rose’s well-documented affinity for parting ways with band members — and pointing out that he’s no longer the rail-thin rock god he was in his youth — Hudson added, “He’s had a Slash, a Buckethead and a Bumblefoot, and evidently way too many Tommy’s chili burgers! Hope there were some left for the audience!” Perla was referring to Rose’s announcement at the end of his segment that he was giving away burgers to all of the members of the studio audience. Hell evidently hath no fury like a scorned guitarist’s wife. We wouldn’t expect to hear anything in response from Axl’s camp, but you never know — this war of words has been going on for nearly 20 years now, and shows no signs of stopping.

Marilyn Manson’s Rendition of ‘This Is Halloween’ Powers Freaky Light Show

YouTube: EdwardsLandingLights Halloween officially holds second place in the ongoing competition of holidays where people put stuff on their lawn. Although Christmas is still the top dog, we’ll still take pure evil over that whole ‘joy and cheer’ stuff in December. We recently posted about a Texas home that boasts a Halloween light show based on the Ozzy Osbourne classic ‘ Bark at the Moon ,’ but we’ve got a new one for you from the shock rocker Marilyn Manson and his cover of ‘This Is Halloween.’ Originally from the iconic animated film ‘A Nightmare Before Christmas,’ the song ‘This Is Halloween’ was given the Manson treatment for the 13th anniversary re-release of the movie’s soundtrack. The master light-smith that created this display used over 8,500 lights and roughly 250 channels of computer animation to create the three-and-a-half minute terror show, which includes singing Jack-O-Lantern faces, neon graves, spacey lights and epileptic assaults of multicolored insanity. Additionally, the same homeowner recently had a ‘Gangnam Style’ light show video go viral on YouTube. Check out this awesome suburban horror light show in the video below: Marilyn Manson, ‘This is Halloween’ Light Show [button href=”http://loudwire.com/charles-manson-writes-open-letter-to-marilyn-manson-from-prison/” title=”Next: Charles Manson Writes Open Letter to Marilyn Manson” align=”center”]
