Slash has a new feather in his cap. The legendary rocker best known as the onetime lead guitarist of Guns N' Roses received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Tuesday.

"I've been a part of the Hollywood fabric for a long time and to actually be appreciated by the city of Hollywood is a huge, huge honor," Slash said at the unveiling of his star, according to Reuters. "And so I want to thank everybody for this; it's unbelievable."

And who knew that the 46-year-old rock god has a BFF in Charlie Sheen? "It's quite fitting I think that Slash is getting a star on the very street that Axl Rose will one day be sleeping on," Sheen joked at the ceremony, referring to Slash's former Guns bandmate and longtime enemy.

Slash has sold over 100 million albums as part of Guns N' Roses, Velvet Revolver and other groups, Reuters reports. His new solo album, "Apocalyptic Love," reached #4 on the Billboard Top 200.

    Though I think Freddy Mercury deserves a star! He was the ultimate showman and frontman for a band.. never be another like him..

    It has always been Journey for me. Although I like all of these artists (except for the beatles-- I cant stand them), Journey remains the cleanest sound and best diversity of music.

    I agree with Gahnzo, where's Freddie's star? And Brian's and Roger's for that matter?

    What is the world coming to? First KISS doesn't make it into the Rock n Roll Hall Of Fame, then THE Freddie Mercury doesn't get a star!

    Not sure I want to live in this world anymore...

    I don't like rock stars who are activist. They should all take there cue from the 60s and 70s stars, shut up and rock
  • Heisenberg CAPISCE 2012/07/12 03:51:57

    Well thank you for sharing that. I'm glad there's a classy guy like Bono, and that he cares about the poor. He's a much better role model than Ted Nugent; that's for damn sure.

    I know right! I watched the Queen documentary and after that I knew that they were truly some of the greatest musicians the world has even known - Freddie being the best frontman in history.

    A pretty obvious choice from me. I do love others on this list though like The Doors, Elton John, Fleetwood Mac, Journey, KISS and The Beach Boys.

    I do think Queen and Led Zeppelin deserve to have a star though...
