Ever wonder why SLASH wears a top hat?

If the guitarist is to be believed, it's because he's shy.

In a recent interview with the Associated Press, the VELVET REVOLVER co-founder said of his trademark hat, "You can pull it down, pull your hair down over your face and just sort of hide behind that."

"I've always been a little nervous in front of crowds," he added, "and that made it - made me - feel a lot more comfortable."

The former lead guitarist for GUNS N' ROSES, Slash told the AP he has always been partial to hats but the top hat dates back to 1985 when he was touring with Guns N' Roses.

"I went into this in store on Melrose (Place) in Los Angeles and saw a top hat, and was like, 'Oh that's looks cool.' And we had a show that night," he said, "so I was definitely looking for something to wear for the show that evening."

The "deluxe edition" of Slash's (VELVET REVOLVER, ex-GUNS N' ROSES) self-titled solo album will released in Australia and New Zealand on August 13. In addition to the songs featured on the regular CD, the deluxe edition will include three extra tracks — cover versions of GUNS N' ROSES' "Paradise City" (featuring Fergie and CYPRESS HILL) and "Sweet Child O' Mine" (performed acoustically, with ALTER BRIDGE's Myles Kennedy on vocals) and acoustic rendition of "Back From Cali". The deluxe edition also comes packaged with a 52-minute DVD featuring behind-the-scenes footage from the making of the album, performance footage from Australia and Los Angeles, video clips and more.

Ultimate-Guitar.com: In an interview, you said that two singers you would've liked to have worked with for your solo album were AEROSMITH's Steven Tyler and MEGADETH's Dave Mustaine. If you had the opportunity, what type of tracks would you potentially record with them two?

Slash: Actually, I worked with Steven for a second, but it was just a huge conflict of interest with AEROSMITH. The song hasn't been used with anybody else, but there was no chance that the record company was gonna allow us to release it, so we had to let it go. I might go back and revisit that with Steven. The song that I did with M. Shadows [AVENGED SEVENFOLD] was originally an idea that I thought would be great for Dave, but Dave was on the road. I like to work quickly, so I never even pursued the idea because I thought M. Shadows would be cool. He's very melodic as far as heavy metal is concerned, so it just went there. I think Dave is probably one of the metal riff masters though. I think that with a lot of the shit he's done, he's naturally a genius. I used to jam with him back in the day, and with the style of riffs that he does, it would've been an interesting thing. I'm sure Dave and I will get together at some point and do something, but schedule wise, it wasn't possible at the time. I don't even think he knows (laughs), but I knew he was on tour, so... Anyway...
