1:01🔗VoiceoverListener discretion is advised. Adam Corolla and Dr. Drew Loveline, Coast to Coast.
1:13🔗VoiceoverHey, everybody, it's Loveline. I'm Adam Corolla. That's Dr. Drew over there in Washington, DC. Yes, sir. Phone number, 1-800-LOVE-191, Dr. Drew, board certified physician, addiction medicine specialist. And tonight we'd like to welcome back to the show Slash.
2:10🔗SlashI just got recognized in the street driving down here. You know, some guy in a car cruises up. I was like, hey. Anyway, I guess you promoted that I was doing this.
2:22🔗AdamDo you ever get this, I mean, you're a pretty recognizable guy. The hair and the hat and the look and the vibe and everything. And people come up and talk to you, like people come up and talk to me when I'm doing stuff. But I noticed that the cell phone is no deterrent for people.
2:37🔗AdamI was talking on the cell phone at the Home Depot today, guy walks right up to me, hey, Adam, what's happening? It's like, I'm talking on the goddamn cell phone. I don't think people count cell phone as a regular phone.
2:49🔗SlashYou can be talking to somebody in person and they don't care.
2:51🔗AdamOh, really? Well, that's you. You're a big star. Slash, of course, from Slash's Snake Pit and Guns and Roses and many, many, many other endeavors is going to be on stage again with Michael Jackson coming up for this tribute concert. That's at Madison Square Garden?
3:10🔗SlashYeah, Madison Square Garden, the 7th and the 10th of September, which is coming around the corner right now.
3:15🔗AdamNow, are you going to be out for the whole gig or are you just coming out to do Beat It and Black and White?
3:22🔗SlashI'm just doing Beat It and Black and White, whatever.
3:26🔗AdamAnd so you'll come out, the crowd will go nuts and you'll go into that. Now, do you practice that?
3:34🔗SlashNo. Actually, to tell you the truth, when I got asked to do this, they mentioned that song and I've never played that with Michael before. And so it's sort of a weird song because it's the first time that Eddie Van Halen guested with Michael Jackson.
3:49🔗SlashYeah, it's an Eddie Van Halen solo. And so of course, I'm going to just play it my own way, but I haven't practiced it. I'll do it at rehearsal.
3:55🔗AdamAnd now, do you play every day? Do you pick up the guitar every day?
4:01🔗AdamAnd do you do it for an hour a day or three hours a day or just whenever?
4:06🔗SlashYou know, there's when you're jamming with the band or if you're going in and doing a session or if you were just practicing around the house, that's like for, could be all day long. It could be a couple hours. It could be just half an hour, you know.
4:16🔗AdamIf you didn't have anything coming up and you didn't have any licks to learn or anything like that, would you just pick the guitar up anyway in a normal day?
4:23🔗SlashYeah, just writing stuff, you know, whatever. I like to, you know, even if it's just watching TV and just having the guitar in the bedroom all the time, you know.
5:19🔗SlashJust because I finished the Snake Pit record and the house was really big and I bought the house because of the studio. Once I finished the record there, it just seemed like I didn't need the house anymore, so we split.
5:29🔗AdamAnd what's going on with Axle and all that? Didn't he come out with a CD or something? Or what the hell is he doing?
5:34🔗SlashI haven't been keeping up with that. You know, all things considered, I remember there was an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie that came out and there's a song in there. But as far as an album is concerned, I'm waiting for the Guns record to come out.
6:05🔗SlashYeah. It was just one of those things when I left, everything was so disheveled anyway. When I left, it was just like that was sort of the nail in the coffin in our relationship. I just haven't spoke since. Sort of like an ex-girlfriend thing.
6:19🔗AdamWell, sometimes too, and I don't know if this is true, but with ex-girlfriends it is, you don't want to see the person because it was a humiliating, embarrassing time of your life. Like you're almost ashamed of that the last time you saw him.
6:36🔗AdamWell, I don't mean the band or the music, but I just mean-
6:39🔗SlashJust the friction between the two of us? Yeah. I mean, there was stuff that definitely neither one of us really want to go back and think about. So reminding each other about it probably isn't the best thing. At least in the forefront of our minds is not the thing we're-
7:34🔗SlashA lot of people actually answer that. Ask that question.
7:36🔗AdamAnd what about some of the guys who are playing on it? Are you pissed off at them?
7:40🔗SlashNo. They just got hired. It's not their fault.
7:42🔗DrewWhat a lot of question are you going down, Adam?
7:44🔗AdamWell, I'm curious if there's some guy that Slash knows who plays a guitar who used to be a friend of his and now he went over with Axl to cut the new GNR record and Slash is calling them a traitor.
7:59🔗SlashThere was a party just recently and there was a list of all the guests or hosts of this party and there was a couple of the new guys from GNRs. It was like so and so and so and so from Guns N Roses, so and so and so and so from Guns N Roses. My old lady looks at me and she goes, does that bother you? I was like, no, it doesn't. It doesn't really bother me at all. But it was funny at the time.
8:22🔗AdamYeah. What do you do? Just copyright the name or he gets the name?
8:26🔗SlashI don't know. There's a little bit of a debate over that.
8:28🔗AdamYeah. I could imagine. All right, Drew, am I going to pick the calls tonight?
8:32🔗DrewYou are. I'm trying desperately to hook up here and I'm not getting anywhere.
8:35🔗AdamAll right. I'm just going to start at the top and work my way down.
9:32🔗DrewOkay. Well, these two weeks, maybe even three weeks, are going to be very uncomfortable. Sleeplessness is part of the deal. It's your brain recovering from the saturation with that drug. If you're an addict, what tends to happen is it triggers a mechanism in your brain that causes you to feel this very intense feeling of loss. If you're not an addict, you should just deal with the withdrawal and that will be that.
9:50🔗SlashThat's the worst thing. It's the first time coming off of something you don't even know it.
9:54🔗AdamSlash, you seem very lucid tonight. Are you off whatever?
10:08🔗SlashYeah. They just made that switch where I decided it was just too much of a pain in the ass and it was too much of a deterrent for my career and so on and so forth. I finally quit. It was hard. Took a long time, but I did.
12:12🔗DrewIt's not the killer sperm, it's the killer semen here actually. It doesn't necessarily equate with fertility problems, but if you have fertility problems, they will get into that, that's for sure. Really? Yeah.
12:24🔗AdamAll right. In the meantime, can you put a ran ramp around yourself or something before you get into it, or use some protection? You know what I mean? Does he have to go on you?
13:33🔗I got into an accident last week and I have a back problem. I had back problems before, but it's been really bad since then. I've been getting headaches and nauseated and I don't know if it's from the medicine or just because I have a lot of stress right now.
13:53🔗DrewThere's a lot of side effects from that medicine. I would not be surprised at all.
13:56🔗I'm supposed to take two, three times a day, and then I'm supposed to take-
13:59🔗DrewWhat? You're 19. What's wrong with your back?
14:02🔗CallerI don't know. I pulled it out before and I had to go to the emergency room because I couldn't really move. It really hurt. It totally sucked. That time, they put me on Vicodin and Naproxen.
14:14🔗DrewLook, is your back pain kick up when you're stressed? Honestly, is that really the big issue when you really have a lot of depression and stress? That's when the back really kicks up. I don't know.
14:23🔗CallerI've just noticed that it just goes away and comes. I don't really notice.
14:27🔗DrewAdam, you had this when you were depressed.
14:30🔗AdamThanks, Drew. Well, now my back's starting to hurt.
14:32🔗DrewWell, you can set her straight. If I just say it happens, it won't make sense to her.
14:37🔗AdamListen, Andrew, you need to stretch and do some yoga and start thinking happy thoughts.
14:42🔗CallerWell, I was given physical exercises to do and stuff. I mean, they feel good at the time, but it hurts later.
14:50🔗AdamI'm just saying, if at age 19, your back keeps going out and you're getting on to painkillers and muscle relaxers, it's going to be a long haul because this stuff shouldn't crop up at 19.
15:01🔗CallerWell, I stopped taking them because I got them last Thursday.
15:07🔗DrewYeah, but the point is look into how there might be an emotional basis to some of this. I'm not saying there is not a musculoskeletal also, but you're 19, taking a lot of medication, getting side effects from the medicines, I don't know.
15:16🔗AdamDrew, what percentage of people that have like bad backs are just kind of nuts, depressed, or hooked on painkillers? What percentage?
15:38🔗AdamShe said, no, she said she got into a car accident.
15:42🔗DrewYeah, but again, it comes and it goes magically and they can't explain why. That's when you start thinking and she's talking about how she's under stress all the time.
15:51🔗AdamBut at 19, you're supposed to be able to be floating on a pool raft and have a buddy do a cannonball into your stomach.
15:59🔗AdamAnd be fine. Both come out. And have enough energy to beat the ass out of him. So getting rear-ended at six miles an hour is not supposed to ruin you for life. But what do these muscle relaxants do, Drew?
16:12🔗DrewSome of them, they don't know, actually. And some of them are rather sedating. And the Schalexon is one of the new ones. It's got a lot of side effects to it. And for 19-year-old views, and that seems a little bit extreme to me.
16:20🔗AdamDoes it just kind of relax you? Or does it actually do something to your muscles?
16:24🔗DrewNo, it actually loosens the muscle contractile for us. Yeah.
16:27🔗AdamWell, I got to get me some of them. Patti?
17:51🔗AdamYeah, Oriola. Well let's call it the hub and the wheel. The hub is the center part and then the wheel goes around it or we'll say the tire goes around it. That will represent the Oriola. Now when you say pinch you in the nipples, I picture him pinching you in the hub.
18:07🔗AdamBut you're saying he's taking on the whole wheel.
18:10🔗CallerRight. Sometimes the whole wheel as you call it.
18:15🔗DrewWell he can hurt you that way. Listen, any sort of woman, any lumps under there really need to be checked down. Your 32, 32 year olds do get breast cancer. Maybe you just think it's the pinching, but maybe there's something going on there.
18:26🔗AdamIt doesn't seem like his pinching would do it. I mean, is he doing it all the time?
18:52🔗DrewYou want to make sure it's not a tumor. The tumor wouldn't be caused by the pinching, it's just something you notice because of the pinching.
18:59🔗AdamAll right, so maybe you saved your life, Maddie, through early detection.
19:24🔗AdamIt's time out for your balls. Hold on, Drew, that's going to be the name of my next book. Time out for your balls. It's the way you discipline adults.
19:35🔗AdamTime out for testes. Good, Drew. That's right, alliteration. Perfect. Yeah, this is the way and after the title, it says like the fast way to discipline your man. Time out for testes. Drew, write that down. That's going to be your next book.
19:59🔗CallerFirst of all, I used to have really great orgasms, sometimes multiples. Recently, I went on a car trip and I had to hold my pee for a really long time because there was no bathroom. And it got to the point where it was kind of painful. I probably should have gone inside of the door a little bit. Anyway. And ever since then, my orgasms have not been as great. And I'm wondering if I've strained something down there or...
20:32🔗AdamWhat do you think? Maybe just the emotional trauma of holding your urine?
20:36🔗DrewNo, I don't think so. But Adam, you and I do this every night on the radio. We're okay, right?
20:41🔗AdamYeah. Yeah, and I hold it and then I go take a leak during the commercial and I beat one out, too. So everything works fine. Don't act surprised, Drew. All right. So, hey, Maggie, so you don't think it's anything psychological?
20:57🔗DrewYou didn't start some medication or something?
21:24🔗CallerNo, you're fine. I mean, like when I was in pain for twenty minutes.
21:29🔗AdamAll right. You'll bounce back. Take a warm bath and pee on. Pee. You guys ever get this? This has happened to me multiple times, which is you're having some kind of meeting or something with a bunch of high-falutin guys you don't know. You drank way too much coffee that morning, and at the beginning of the meeting, you go, jeez, I got to take a leak. And you get up, you go to the bathroom, you take a leak. It's always weird excusing yourself to take a leak when there's eight or ten guys who are like sitting around a big board table. But you go and you take the leak, and then you come back and you sit there, and now the meeting's going on a little longer than you planned. It's about an hour later and you think to yourself, holy Christ, I got to take another leak because I didn't get out that pot of coffee I drank on the way in, and you're thinking, no way, I'm not getting up again because it's weird now. Like now I'm going for my second leak.
22:19🔗AdamYeah. Drew, I took two leaks in front of Ivan Reitman last week.
22:23🔗DrewBut that was just sort of bashful pee-pee. You know what I mean? Bashful.
22:29🔗AdamI don't know what it is, but it's either like game on or game off with the leaking, and when it's going, it's going, and otherwise, I'm not doing it for eight or 10 hours. Otherwise, I'm on it every hour. Nice. Slash, you ever sit back?
22:56🔗AdamAll right. Slash is here from Slash's Snake Pit, and going to be on stage with Michael Jackson coming up next month, and that's going to be like a HBO special or something?
23:08🔗SlashIt's on TV. I don't know which channel it's on. Actually, I don't have the information. All right.
23:12🔗AdamSo it looks like he hasn't been in concert a while, right?
23:15🔗SlashLast time he was in concert, I played his show in Korea.
23:21🔗SlashAnd he had a major accident at that gig where he went, there was, how to explain it, there was these big ramps that came up in the front of the stage that went up about 50 feet. And in the middle where he was standing, he was in sort of like a crane box.
23:37🔗SlashAnd he was singing from up there and I was playing guitar down below. And I had my eyes shut and all of a sudden I felt this big gush of wind and then there was this thud. And the hydraulics had failed on this thing. And finally the back of hydraulics caught him just about at the bottom.
24:05🔗AdamYou got to figure, like I was thinking when I was watching this Madonna concert last week on HBO, she's got the cables and she's flying around like a crouching tiger, hidden dragon. And I'm thinking to myself, with all the pyrotechnics and all the cables going on now and all the hydraulics and everything, something's going to go wrong one of these times for one of these acts. And when it does go wrong, it's going to be like a plane crashing. I mean, it's going to be a big deal.
24:33🔗SlashUsually the pyrotechnics are the first ones to get you, the flashpots. You remember what happened to James Hedfield in Metallica, right?
24:40🔗AdamYeah, he got nailed and Michael Jackson caught on fire at the Pepsi commercial.
24:45🔗SlashIf they hadn't had a backup hydraulic for this thing, I mean, he would have been gone. It would have happened way too fast and too far down.
24:52🔗AdamAnd whoever's underneath him potentially can get it too.
24:57🔗SlashExactly, because if that had really collapsed and it would have exploded.
25:00🔗AdamSlash, and your hair would go up like a Roman candle if you got too close to anything.
25:05🔗SlashWell, I smoke cigarettes when I'm playing, so I burn my hair all the time.
25:08🔗AdamYeah, you should wear a net. You should wear a hair net up there. I know it's not cool, but it would be a lot safer.
25:14🔗AdamAll right, I'm going to convince Slash to wear a hair net next time he gets out on stage. Drew's over there in DC. We're out here in LA and we'll be back right after this.
25:59🔗AdamHey, it's Loveline. I'm Adam. That's Drew in Washington, DC tonight in studio. Slash is here. Slash is Snake Pit, is his current band, also going to be on stage with Michael Jackson. And that's going to be, what is that, on September?
26:18🔗AdamAnd that is going to air on CBS. And what's going on with Snake Pit?
26:22🔗SlashWell, we just finished a real grueling tour when that album came out, Ain't Life Grand, came out in October. So, we just finished this past July. And just toured all over the place. But the last tour that we did was a grueling six night a week, coast to coast tour in a bus. It was great. So, it was like reinvented in my mind what I love about being in a rock and roll band, you know?
27:53🔗CallerYeah, and I wish I could have seen you guys because you looked like a really awesome live band.
27:56🔗SlashIt was a killer live band. You know, that was my favorite part about it.
28:00🔗CallerYeah. And, well, you just answered my question, basically, you know, about Internet Slash's Snake Put album. And I was also just wondering if you ever do talk to, like, any of the other guys, you know, besides Axl, like Duff or Matt?
28:16🔗SlashYeah, I talked to Duff yesterday, and I talked to Matt all the time, and I talked to Izzy on occasion. So we've always been cool, you know, the back line, you know, the workhorses of the band, you know.
28:27🔗AdamMatt, I ran into, like, a month ago at the K-Rock Weenie Roast. He was playing with the cult, right?
28:34🔗SlashYeah, he's back in the cult. I pulled him from the cult, and then when guns broke up, he went back to the cult.
29:09🔗DrewThey light up the tubes with the x-ray material.
29:13🔗CallerCorrect. They've seen that I had a couple blockages on each side, but what's really concerning me is that they found that my uterus is kind of overlapping my left lopian tube. So now they're wanting to go in and do a laparoscopy.
29:26🔗CallerAnd I'm just wondering what's involved in that, and is that going to lessen my chances of becoming pregnant?
29:32🔗DrewNo. It might actually improve it. That's the whole idea. Get rid of the scarring of this endometriosis, treat that. And what they do is they put sort of a scope into your belly and they inflate it with a gas so they can look around, and then they correct anything they find while they're there.
30:30🔗Is that what they do to keep it in place so it won't happen again?
30:33🔗DrewI'm not quite sure what you're talking about when you just start with the uterus being over the fallopian tube. You're talking about maybe endometriosis? Is that what you're talking about?
31:56🔗CallerI'm not sure how long that would be, but I've known this girl since about first grade, and I have a feeling for her. I've talked to her about it a couple of times. Nothing really seriously, but right now, it's kind of like...
32:11🔗DrewYou've talked to her about the fact that you're attracted to her?
32:27🔗CallerWell, no, it's more... We just... have been such best friends, it's kind of hard.
32:32🔗DrewNo, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Don't get yourself...
32:35🔗AdamNot into you. How do guys get away with this emotionally? I mean, how do they rationalize it over and over again on this show? I've been into this chick for twelve years. I confronted her and told her about my feelings. We had a discussion on it, and then I go, okay, she's not into you. Well, no, no, no, no, she's into me. We just never did anything. We never turned in anything.
32:56🔗SlashThere is a sort of awkwardness with people that have known each other for a really long time that like each other a lot.
33:35🔗CallerBut it's difficult because our families are so close and that's kind of hard. So I just hypothetically, if I were to ask her anything like that, how would I go about?
34:47🔗SlashI would say just back off and wait and see if she makes a move and she doesn't just get on with your life.
34:51🔗AdamWell, she ain't going to make a move because she would have done it because she knows about Carl's feelings. So Carl, you can try one more time and you want to know how to try.
35:43🔗AdamYou've been into this chick for 12 years.
35:45🔗CallerWell, I've kept it more in the back of my mind. I mean, I've been in many other pants.
35:50🔗AdamAll right. Is this guy high or what? What is he asking?
35:54🔗DrewWhatever it is, he doesn't like us telling him anything. He doesn't want anything from us.
35:58🔗AdamListen, A-hole, did you call this show wanting advice or not? OK, you have two choices. You have three choices. You can sit on this and never bring it up again, OK? You can go have a heart to heart with her and talk about your feelings, which is probably going to get uncomfortable and not work, or you can just ask her out on a date and hope that it goes well. Those are your three choices. Which one you want to do?
36:25🔗DrewIs it because you know the answer that she doesn't want to date you? Is that why you're afraid to ask?
36:30🔗CallerIt's more I'm assuming, at all. I shouldn't assume, so.
36:33🔗AdamWell, no. You have it. You're basing it on something, which is 12 years of nothing.
36:39🔗SlashRight. Is your heart going to be totally broken if she says no? I mean, what have you got to lose at this point? Right.
36:46🔗DrewBut I think the reason he's not asking is because he knows the answer.
36:48🔗AdamYeah. It's the same reason you don't ask for a raise. You're going to get fired. Okay.
37:02🔗AdamYou are an asshole. You want to ask her out or you want to prank us? But here's the thing, Carl. You can't ask her out, like, to a matinee because she's going to think you're buddies and you're just going, you know. You got to ask her out, ask her out.
37:16🔗SlashI can't take her to see Deep Throat either.
37:18🔗AdamRight. Well, you could, but... And try to work a little booze into the equation. Nice. It's going to help. All right. He's depressed, but what do you want us to say?
37:35🔗AdamGuys are so screwed up in this department, especially when they're 17. Here's the catch-22 is, I really dig her, I want to ask her out, but I know she's going to say no, so I don't want to ask her out. But instead, I'll just sort of...
37:49🔗Adam.masturbate in shame for the rest of my life. Okay, oh no, that's my job. Slash is here. Drew is over in DC. We're going to take a break. When we come back, who are we going to talk to, Drew?
39:28🔗SlashWhitney Houston, Diana Ross. The list is endless. I just don't have a copy of it in front of me.
39:34🔗AdamI'm guessing if Michael Jackson says, come out and play, people tend to do it. And plus, he hasn't done it in a while. And plus, I guess people might get the idea that he may not be going around that many more times.
39:47🔗SlashI mean, it's really hard to tell with him. Because when he does a tour, he does a full blown, you know, big production world tour. This is just two shows and the record comes out in October.
39:58🔗SlashAnd I suppose he's going to tour on that one. But I think what he's really doing is just a heads up, Michael's back kind of thing, you know, making a big deal.
40:05🔗AdamNow Slash is going to play Beat It in black and white. And now like when you get the guitar, you make the entrance on stage, right? Now you have a cordless guitar.
40:18🔗AdamWireless. And you start playing. Now do you start like playing as you're walking out? You don't go out there and stand around and start playing. You like start playing and walking, right?
40:27🔗SlashWell, it's actually, you know, there's not a lot of forethought, you know, like come out, there's an intro to black or white, depending on what the lighting cue is or whatever. And I just come in just where I where the song naturally comes in at and I do whatever I want. I just sort of just play in any spot that I want to. So basically I just get out there for the first chord is my thing.
40:47🔗AdamRight. And then into the that one I've never played before.
40:51🔗SlashThat's something I've never played before.
41:07🔗SlashNo, no, I mean, I just, all my CDs are in storage. All things considered, because I'm moving. So we ordered some off the internet.
41:15🔗AdamSo all you have to do is hear the riff on the CD and then you can just pretty much replicate it, right? It's not going to take too much more than that.
42:52🔗CallerWell, sometimes it happens like we'll have sex like one time and then we'll stop and then, you know, hook it up again and then we'll have sex. And like the second or third time is usually when I get really nauseous.
43:14🔗CallerUm, sometimes, I could have a really bad guy reflex too.
43:17🔗AdamYeah. Yeah, me too. It's bad. Hey, Tonya, I don't know what the answer to this is. Do you do it at night? Like, what about if you did a different part of the day? You know what I mean?
43:28🔗CallerI've done it every time in the day you could think of, I guess. I mean, I've done it like late at night, I've done it in the evening, I've done it in the afternoon.
43:36🔗SlashOnce again, is this always with the same guy?
43:39🔗SlashSo is that the only guy you've ever been with? No. Did it happen with the other guys?
43:44🔗CallerThe very first guy I was with, the first time he ever really tried to touch me or anything, I got kind of, my heart started beating really, really fast.
43:52🔗DrewAll right. So you- Wait a minute. Maybe you have some sort of a heart rhythm disturbance. Have you ever had that checked out?
43:58🔗CallerI'm pretty sure I don't. My parents are like paramedics and stuff, and I'm pretty sure nothing else is wrong with me.
44:04🔗AdamWait, like your parents would know? Because they're paramedics?
44:48🔗DrewWere you checked for any infection in the stomach?
44:51🔗CallerNo, but my ulcer, like really deep in my intestines and stuff, in my stomach and down to my intestines, it's pretty bad, I guess.
44:59🔗DrewSo you have issues with your stomach. Do you take a lot of aspirin and anti-inflammatory?
45:02🔗AdamI put her on hold. Who cares? I'm done. We've spent too much time on her. But here's the thing. I think she worries a lot. She says her heart starts beating real fast and she has an ulcer at 17. I know she has a family history of it. But I think if she stays with this one guy, becomes more relaxed with this one guy, this will probably subside.
45:24🔗SlashIt sounds like she gets really uppity and nervous about the thought of what she's about to do. And just gets bent out of shape.
45:34🔗AdamYeah. She's got to be a little more relaxed like us. David?
45:41🔗CallerHey. Good evening. I actually have two questions. First of all, what started this whole 80s movement back in style with the rock thing? And Adam, how many times a day do you master it? How many times do you consider, you know, up until what point where is it unhealthy?
45:59🔗CallerYou know, mentally. I mean, for anyone my age, 30.
46:02🔗AdamI see. All right. So what about, what 80s rock thing is coming back?
46:07🔗CallerWell, the whole long hair, you know, pegging the pants, the whole 80s rock band.
46:12🔗AdamYou know, doesn't everything get popular about 20 years after it went out? I mean, the 70s was coming around in the mid 90s. And now that we're heading toward the mid 2000s, the 80s are going to come around and then we'll enjoy. But here's the confusing part.
46:28🔗SlashThe scary part is when we hit the 90s, right?
46:30🔗AdamWell, here's the scary part. The scary part is, is if we're doing the 80s now, then 20 years from now when we have to recreate what we're doing now, aren't we going to have to recreate the 80s again? Because that's what we're doing now. Is that not it?
46:44🔗SlashMaybe we'll take a leap and we'll go back to the 40s for a second.
46:48🔗CallerWas there something that caused it to go back though? I mean, was there anything in particular?
46:52🔗SlashNot that I know of. I have a hard time with trends coming and going and trying to follow what everybody else is doing.
47:00🔗AdamYeah, Slash pretty much looks like the same Slash I saw five years ago and then five years before that with GNR. Slash looks like Slash. Drew looks like Drew too. Drew was bad ten years ago. He's bad now.
47:14🔗SlashAnd Mr. Rogers still looks like Mr. Rogers. I saw him today.
48:26🔗CallerHold on a second, the show's starting.
48:28🔗AdamSlash is telling me how he rambling on here. Sold his pajamas on eBay to get some studio equipment, I think. No, it was for like age charity. It's a love line. I'm Adam Corolla. That's Dr. Drew over there in Washington DC. What's the weather like over there, Drew?
48:44🔗DrewI got to circle for a couple of hours over DC and observe the thunderstorms that I was flying into.
48:55🔗SlashHow did you get that little effect in there so quickly?
48:59🔗AdamAnderson is super fast. Super, super fast. Well, let's do a little test. Let's see how fast Anderson's fingers are. So, there was a thunderstorm over DC.
49:23🔗AdamYeah. That ain't screaming. Now, Drew, when you landed and got off the plane, I mean, was it to fanfare? Were people cheering?
49:35🔗DrewNo, it wasn't that big a deal. We actually picked up some time going to cross country. We ended up being a half hour late.
49:42🔗AdamI see. I see. Did you eat at the airport? Because sometimes that food can give you gas. All right. You didn't get drunk on the plane, did you, Drew?
53:06🔗CallerYeah, man. I got this terrible, you know? It's like this girl I want to go out with, but you know, she's so little and so fragile, you know? This girl I want to go out with.
53:16🔗AdamScared you're going to break her. All right. Hey, Angel, listen, you're living at Slash's place. I'd like you to have some nice eggs waiting for him when he gets off the show tonight. You know what I'm saying? And clean the place up, too.
53:45🔗AdamAll right. You guys will be moving to Malibu soon. You play your cards right. All right. But seriously, Slash is going to need something to eat when he gets back, right?
53:53🔗SlashNo, I'm not even hungry. Don't worry about it.
53:55🔗AdamWell, just make him like an English muffin or something. It's more the thought that counts. Adrian?
55:18🔗DrewWell, so maybe maybe he ought to do the oral sex afterwards. Maybe you're just uncomfortable at that point. Some women complain that things are sort of sensitive after the oral sex and it's uncomfortable to have sex then.
55:29🔗CallerDo you think there could be something wrong with me?
55:31🔗DrewWell, you're having sex, you're 19, you need to get pelvic exams regularly. That needs to be done.
55:36🔗DrewAll right. You got to do that. So go ahead and do that and discuss that with the doctor, the symptoms you're having. But I actually think it's the fact that you're having the oral sex first.
55:43🔗AdamDoes he give you the orgasm first and then you have intercourse? Yeah. Well, what do you guys think? Were you from Poland?
55:50🔗SlashYou ever tried it the other way around?
56:24🔗AdamYou're like one of these people who you put your pants on, then you put your underpants on over your pants, then you put your belt on over your underpants. Yeah.
56:33🔗SlashNo, but there's like a million different options just besides the one that you're using. Yeah. It's a little bass awkward.
56:39🔗AdamYour order screwed up. Okay. Let me explain your sexual menu, because you guys are starting with the dessert, and you're finishing with the liver.
56:55🔗AdamThat's what I'm saying. It's not even a brisket. All right. Here's how you do it. First, you make out. Okay. You do that for a few minutes.
57:06🔗DrewGo ahead. Bring out the baseball diamond, Adam.
57:08🔗AdamThen he does, then he manipulates your brass a little bit. Yeah, you move along the diamond, first base, second base. Then he goes down, feels you up a little down there, gives you a little lubrication, gets you moist, puts it in. You have the intercourse for 10 minutes. Then it starts to get a little sore. Then he slides down and finishes you off with some oral sex. All right. You got that? Finish with the oral sex. Because I think if you have the orgasm first, it could be, I don't know, distracting at best to have the intercourse after you have the orgasm.
58:46🔗Okay. So let's say like after you've had sex with your dude and it's like a good 30, 40 minute, like upside down on the seat. It's like a good session. Do you know what I mean?
59:34🔗CallerAfter I'm done with this thing, after this 30, 40-minute romp, and it's only with these two certain guys, and they don't actually have big honkers.
1:01:48🔗CallerNo, but I guess he wants to bone me. I don't like to bone guys with big honkers. I had to break up with a guy in high school from that because it was too big.
1:01:59🔗CallerIt was totally nice, but I just could not do it. It was painful to me.
1:02:05🔗AdamNo, but wait a minute. But is this your regular question or are you just screwing around with Slash?
1:02:10🔗CallerNo, I wasn't asking Slash because he's not a doctor. So I figured it wasn't for Slash. It was for the doctor.
1:02:14🔗AdamOkay, well now, I'm not going to be as hard on you because you're a friend of Slash's, but shut the F up for a second and let Drew answer your question.
1:02:23🔗DrewI answered several times that she's going on for too long and too vigorously. She's basically traumatizing her insides.
1:02:31🔗CallerI don't like me going, whoo, come on.
1:02:33🔗DrewYeah, well, how about you going, stop, enough. This is uncomfortable, enough, stop. You have a right to do that. That's fine.
1:02:40🔗CallerOkay, can I ask just one more question? Yeah. Because this is what I feel it is. I feel like he's holding out to like have longer sex.
1:03:39🔗AdamWhat the hell's going on over there? Angel and Victoria. These are my homies. I was thinking about something which was, I went water skiing, wakeboarding last week. I went up to Big Bear and got up on one of these **** wakeboards. Here's the deal. You will get sore from this just like you will get sore from sex because you're enjoying yourself and you're having a good time and you don't want to let go. Meanwhile, you're pulling every muscle in your god damn body but you don't feel it at the time because you got such an adrenaline rush and you're going 30 miles an hour and the water's spraying in your face and you're screaming. This is what sex is. You're pulling things, you're hurting yourself, you're stretching stuff, but it feels good and you just ride with it and then you're sore the second you stop.
1:04:55🔗CallerI was wondering if Paxil like kind of cured or put off or whatever, obsessive compulsive diseases.
1:05:03🔗DrewIt's one of the ones that's good for OCD. Prozac actually is probably the most powerful for that. Luvox is another one, but Paxil can be too. All the serotoninreptic inhibiting drugs do have some activity for OCD. What do you do? Pull your hair or something?
1:05:23🔗DrewAnd that's a different thing typically. And that really shows how intense your emotional distress is, that you really have nothing else to manage this with other than cutting on yourself. And certainly Paxil will help with decreasing some of that emotional intensity. Do you see a psychiatrist?
1:06:04🔗CallerWell, I'm supposed to call back soon and could I get him to like prescribe me any? Because I kind of had to like ask him for antidepressants.
1:06:11🔗DrewLook, you're going to need, you need more. Yeah, you need some therapy, you need some medication and Paxil is just sort of a slopshot. There may be better things for you.
1:07:05🔗AdamYeah. I changed camping to raping because there's nothing but sex that goes on camping. Although it doesn't sound like you got any, JR Well, no, I didn't.
1:07:14🔗CallerWe were camping and there were about 40 of us. A bunch of us had just met.
1:07:27🔗CallerWell, we were drinking one night and it started raining and everybody else went to bed. I was left there with this older woman and she's 34.
1:07:59🔗AdamShe sat in the jeep with you in the rain. What happened?
1:08:02🔗CallerWe talked for about an hour. I really thought that she was pretty neat and stuff. Then we started kissing a little. Then we decided that we should go back to the campsite.
1:09:07🔗AdamAnd she has a big husband and she may just be using this to screw with him. So I wouldn't be surprised if he somehow found out about it after it happened. You could be a marked man and your little brother could then become the older brother. Because you'll be in the ground. I wouldn't screw with it, Jared. Just go find yourself a nice 20-year-old chick to buff, would you? All right. Are you that desperate?
1:09:47🔗AdamYeah. Here's what a mistake a lot of guys make.
1:09:49🔗SlashBecause it's not going to be his problem when the problem comes around. Right.
1:09:53🔗AdamRight. A lot of guys kick their little brother's ass from like 0 to 15, and then they lay off in their adult life, and that's a big mistake. You got to keep kicking the guy's ass like well into your 40s. All right. We're going to take a little break. Slash is here. Drew is over there in DC, and we'll be right back.
1:10:37🔗AdamHey everybody, Love Line. I'm Adam. That's Dr. Drew's over in Washington, DC tonight. He'll be back in the Loveline studio next week. Don't worry. Slash is here. Slash is going to be on stage with Michael Jackson at Madison Square Garden September 7th and 9th?
1:10:54🔗AdamAnd 10th. And that's going to air on CBS. So just check them listings and look for it. I want to talk to Desiree, who's on line four, who's got a question for Slash. Desiree?
1:11:41🔗SlashI had a couple tips from a couple of people just to sort of get started and then I taught myself from there or learned myself is the way it's put.
1:11:50🔗Adam15 seems a little late for a guy who plays a guitar like you.
1:11:58🔗CallerYou guys, I remember me and the girls get together. I mean, I'm 27 now. Me and the girls get together and something comes on the rock station and we're just like, oh man, do you remember that?
1:12:27🔗AdamIt was the Stones. Yeah. Was that the Coliseum?
1:12:30🔗SlashWe did four shows at the Coliseum in 1989 and 1990.
1:12:35🔗AdamThat was great. That must have been great.
1:12:37🔗SlashIt was actually, it was a serious, it was like one of those things where for us, it was us going down the tubes and then getting back up. You know what I mean? It's like, instead of getting up there and going downhill, we were going downhill when we got up there. You know what I'm saying? We broke up on the first show, managed to do the second show, then made up again on the third show, and then managed to do the fourth show and kept going from there.
1:13:03🔗AdamI sort of remember, I think Axl had like a little meltdown or something on one of the shows.
1:13:08🔗SlashOh yeah. There was a lot of stuff going on behind the scenes.
1:13:11🔗AdamBut when you guys like, let's, let me give me an analogy. Like when you play football and the quarterback drops back to pass and the receiver runs the wrong route.
1:13:21🔗SlashThat's so funny, that's the same analogy I use.
1:13:23🔗AdamWhen he comes back to the huddle, the quarterback's pissed.
1:13:26🔗AdamAnd because he made him look like an idiot out there, maybe almost got him killed. Would that go on on stage?
1:13:33🔗SlashYeah, there have been a lot of times, like I said, I use that same analogy because the way things are as a team, as in a band, you're basically like a football team, and somebody's got to have your back all the time. And so when somebody drops out, you just leave the other guy hanging. It starts to, a lot of the ill feelings start to collect between the guys.
1:13:52🔗AdamWell, would some of the stuff happen just from on stage performance, like somebody missed a beat or screwed something up or?
1:13:59🔗SlashWell, that's not that big a deal. That's just what you call making, making mistake you try not to do and if it happens, it happens. But when it's walking off stage or decide you don't want to play this song all of a sudden in the set or whatever, it's something that really affects all the other people in the group, then you got a problem.
1:14:20🔗AdamWere you guys touring with the Stones then or did you just open in LA?
1:14:38🔗AdamWe were both halfway there. Yeah, that was good. That was nice. That was good times. That's at the Coliseum. I don't know if they have anything in there anymore. It was bad times for you, but I had a good time. AJ?
1:15:23🔗CallerSo, you didn't make it to the ACDC show?
1:15:26🔗SlashYeah. We did one ACDC show the first time around and then the second time around we didn't tour with them. So, yeah. We missed a gig here.
1:15:33🔗CallerOh, they had like another band, like Wide Mouth something?
1:15:54🔗AdamWell, let's not live in the past. Come on, AJ. You all right? There'll be many, many, many concerts for you in your long future, all right?
1:16:21🔗AdamYeah, I don't know anything about guitars. All I know is they're really cool, but to me it'd be like learning a foreign language. I couldn't even begin to start.
1:16:31🔗SlashThat girl that called earlier just reminded me that I've been playing guitar for 16 years now.
1:16:35🔗AdamBut you were really good when you were 20, right?
1:16:38🔗SlashWell, I started professionally when I was about 19.
1:16:42🔗AdamSo you hadn't played that long at that time.
1:16:45🔗SlashI don't know if I was all that good at that time, but I managed to make things work enough to the point where I just kept doing it. Right. I've been working at it. I'm still working at it.
1:18:06🔗AdamAll right. By the way, when you see like an old dude with that tat, that means he's like hardcore. Super hardcore. Drew, you got any of those?
1:18:39🔗AdamDrew, I need to score. Yeah. Give me some sleeping pills every once in a while. It's good times. That reminds me, we got to talk off the air, Drew.
1:20:22🔗DrewSomething happened when you were growing up?
1:20:24🔗No, the problem is that I like girls and everything. It's just like when I jack off or look up porn on the internet, I look up gay porn and I get better off that than looking up girls.
1:20:52🔗AdamLet me tell you, if you're a heterosexual guy and you see graphic depictions of gay erotica, I mean a guy's penis, another guy's ass or mouth or something like that, you will retch. It makes you physically yell. It's hard to look at.
1:21:08🔗SlashIt's usually very offensive kind of thing.
1:21:11🔗AdamIt is. It's like when you're switching around the channels and you see a guy getting eye surgery and you're just like, oh, I'm eating.
1:21:18🔗SlashLike the learning channel. It was flipped by that real quick. Right.
1:21:21🔗AdamI flipped by a guy. They had the guy's eyeball out of his socket. It's like, come on, give me a little heads up. I'm eating here. But here's the deal. Drew, I don't know if they can work this out, but wouldn't this be great for stuff that really kicks your ass that way? Just a little thing that hits the screen and says, five, four, three, two, one, two eyeball out of socket. Give you a little chance to change it. And by the way, I can't see boobs on at 8 o'clock in the evening. That's considered offensive. But a guy's got his, you know, some drifter got his eye pulled out by a meat hook. That's no problem at 8 o'clock in the evening. All right. So if Dominic is looking at Gay Erotica, then there's a good chance that he may be gay. But that's all right. You're going to have a good life. Go with it. You there, Dominic?
1:22:12🔗CallerYeah. That will make me bi then since I like girls too.
1:22:17🔗DrewAll I know is you're confused now that you are.
1:22:20🔗AdamAnd bi is gay with a publicist. There's really not much such a thing as bi. You're going to be gay.
1:22:55🔗AdamWhy did he spell your name that way if he didn't want you to go gay? I don't understand, but listen, you don't have to make a decision right now. You know what I mean? Yeah. You don't have to announce it or declare it. But it's not like a major and you're in college. If you're into guys, fine. If you're into chicks, fine. All right. If you're into both, fine.
1:23:14🔗SlashI would say out of the confusion zone for as much as possible and get out of it soon.
1:23:19🔗AdamYeah. Here, let me tell you something about that computer too. I was thinking about this. The computer is the male diary. What a diary is to a chick is what a computer is to a guy. Think about this.
1:23:33🔗DrewLead no traces is what you're saying, right?
1:23:35🔗AdamWell, what I'm saying is for years, chicks have been getting busted because their parents or their boyfriend or whoever, their brother gets hold of their diary and reads their diary and finds out all their deepest, darkest sexual feelings and thoughts and all that kind of stuff. The computer has become that for men.
1:23:52🔗AdamYeah, because we talk to people all the time where the chick hops on her brother's computer or boyfriend or husband's computer and finds all these websites he's been looking at, underage chicks or kiddie porn or, you know, male stuff and totally, yeah, totally bust the guy and it's irrefutable because it's backed up.
1:24:10🔗SlashOh yeah, well people, I've seen people on court TV and stuff that have been popped for that kind of stuff.
1:24:15🔗AdamRight, and I'm saying if Dominic's dad is a pain in the ass and prone to violence and might freak out over his sexuality, be careful with that computer. Don't have your dad hop on that and go to the cult roundup section, and see a bunch of guys naked getting boffed over hay bales.
1:24:34🔗AdamYou got me? Yeah. All right. We're going to take a little break. Drew's in DC, Slash is here in the Loveline studio, and we'll be right back.
1:25:20🔗AdamNo. And I don't ever want to be in that chair. It's Loveline. I'm Adam. That's Drew. That's Slash over there with the bad headphones. And if anyone knows good headphones, it's Slash.
1:25:31🔗SlashAll right. This is actual headphones. It's not the Jack.
1:25:34🔗AdamOkay. I'm sure they're junk. Drew's in DC. Slash is here. And let's see if we can power through some calls. Dustin, you're 18. What's up?
1:25:45🔗CallerI had a couple of questions for Slash. And first of all, Adam and Drew, I'm a long time listener, long time caller, first time getting through.
1:25:59🔗CallerAnd play Hollywood and everything. And I was wondering how we can get record companies to look at our band.
1:26:05🔗SlashWell, every band is asking that same question in some way, shape or form. I don't know, start a buzz in LA. You know, if you think, well, that's where all the record companies are anyway. So if you got a good following in Los Angeles, you're bound to get some A&R people coming by and checking you out. And you know, the other way is to actually get in touch with different record companies and try and get some interest in a showcase or something like that.
1:26:30🔗AdamWill A&R guys go to the whiskey and go to the Troubadour just on random weekend nights or weeknights?
1:26:37🔗SlashYou know, there's no formula for it, but usually they're supposed to be out there scouting if they're worth their weight and something.
1:26:43🔗AdamWhat happened? What's the Guns N Roses story with that?
1:26:46🔗SlashThat was a word of mouth, but we'd basically gotten such a huge following in LA that it was hard to ignore the fact that when we played on a weekend, all of a sudden it would be pretty much chaotic or something like we're playing at the Roxy. So record company people would come down and check us out. But we were so notorious for being just unruly that we scared a lot of record companies off. But one guy in particular from Geffen, which is Tom Zutthot, stuck it in there and actually had the balls to sign us. It was the worst thing ever. Against the record companies, but it was the best wishes. Really?
1:27:24🔗AdamAll right. Well, LA is the place and you can hone your skills over there in Bakersfield, but you got to come out here and get your following.
1:27:32🔗CallerWe do the coconut teaser all the time.
1:27:34🔗SlashRight. Well, the coconut teaser is a dive for the most part. I don't know. I haven't been there in a while. But sending demos and all that stuff doesn't hurt.
1:27:41🔗AdamYeah. All right. You're 18. You just keep at it.
1:27:48🔗AdamIt is. You do it theoretically because you love it.
1:27:52🔗SlashYeah. It's supposed to be fun though. You're not supposed to take that part of it so seriously, but at the same time, it's also expensive. You pay to play and all that.
1:28:04🔗CallerI'm a really big fan of Slash, and I've been a big fan of Guns N Roses for like two years, and I was wondering if your new music is anything like Guns N Roses, like if it's the same sound or what?
1:28:19🔗SlashWell, my guitar sound is the same. For the most part, I use the same gear and all that stuff, and my approach is the same. But of course, Guns N Roses is a combination of five people, and that five people makes a certain sound. And so anything that I get involved with, the end result sounds like me with four other complete different individuals. So the overall sound is different, but the one common thread in there is my guitar sound.
1:29:24🔗CallerI've been watching The Man Show for as long as I can remember. And Drew, I just listen to a lot of you do and I take a lot of what you say to heart, and it helps me. Yeah, exactly. And I have a question. There's this girl that I was seeing for a year. And through the entire time that we were going out, she kind of was manipulative of what I was and who I was. And she was trying to take control of my life. And she kind of led me on to this assumption that we were always going to be together and everything. And I knew, all right, at 16, it's just a load of BS. And now she's stalking you. Actually, no, now that I got another girl, she's a, she's, she, we got in a fight the other day and she called my parents telling me that I had got my girlfriend to chase her down and run her down and trying to get her out of my life. And when I told my parents the story, she basically, she was, she, when I didn't get in trouble, she was like, all right, so she went to my teachers about it.
1:30:27🔗AdamAll right, but listen, you're not having any kind of relationship with her anymore, right?
1:30:32🔗CallerNo, no, no, I mean, there's times when she'll come up to me and she'll say, I'm sorry for what happened. And she'll try and, and like, and.
1:30:40🔗AdamOkay, but you're not in, you're not into her anymore?
1:30:44🔗CallerI mean, I kind of am. I mean, they're always feeling for it.
1:30:47🔗SlashThere's always a tricky part to the agreement.
1:30:49🔗AdamHere's the deal, Robert. You can't dance with her at all. If she's nutty, she's chaotic, and if you want her out of your life, you've got to keep her out of your life.
1:30:59🔗CallerShe's got really big problems like her dad.
1:31:02🔗AdamWe understand all that. And so here's the deal. If you give her a little servicing once every other month, that's going to keep her in your life.
1:31:18🔗AdamSo you've got to be strong and you've got to be firm. And if you don't want her in your life, you've got to keep her out. And if you do that, she'll get distracted and get bored and get out pretty quick. But if you renew this dance every couple of weeks, then she's going to want to dance.
1:31:36🔗CallerI mean, I don't want to be a dick about it. I mean, we've built up such a friendship.
1:31:40🔗AdamSuch a friendship. She's calling your parents saying your girlfriend tried to run her over.
1:31:46🔗CallerI know. And it's a bad situation. I just, I don't know.
1:31:50🔗AdamAll right. But let me... Robert, listen, understand this concept because I think Drew knows it well and I'm sure Slash knows it better than any of us, which is some women are chaotic and they need chaos and they need that. It's like guys who get into fights every weekend. It's never their fault that just some a-hole at the bar started it, but yet it's the same dude getting into the same fray every single weekend. They need it, they may not like it, but they need it. That's what their life is. So you are going to get into this with her every week for the rest of your life. If you don't just, cold turkey, she calls, you hang up. You see her in school, you turn down the other hall. That's it and it'll go away pretty fast, but you can't keep renewing it.
1:33:35🔗AdamAnother fine week of Loveline in the can. I want to thank producer Anne for putting her feminine stink on the show and doing a great job, and booking big name acts like Slash. I also want to thank Damien for doing a great job, effing up the spelling on everyone's name on the phone screens. I want to thank Tara, don't call me Tara, for doing a wonderful job on the phones and lead coffee and all that stuff, and of course Anderson for using those magic fingers. He's the one who sucks. Pushing buttons that say stuff like that. I want to thank Slash for coming in here.
