I thought slash was straight edge?

He experienced life threatening heart conditions in his late 30s from alcohol and drugs, and went clean after that.

In 2001, at the age of 35, Slash was diagnosed with cardiomyopathy, a form of congestive heart failure, caused by his many years of alcohol and drug abuse. Originally given between six days and six weeks to live, he survived through physical therapy and the implantation of a defibrillator.[119] Slash has been clean and sober since 2006,[103] which he credited to his then-wife Perla Ferrar.[120] In 2009, following his mother's death from lung cancer, he quit smoking.[121]
