Slash and Lemmy May Get Stoned

08/18/2010
. We just couldn't resist that headline. By stoned, we mean have their likeness made into stone statues. Ok, it wasn't that funny. Gibson reports: A British man is attempting to build a permanent tribute to Slash and Lemmy Kilmister in Stoke-on-Trent, England. Nile Plumb would like the city to erect statues of the two hard rock legends, in tribute to their musical legacies, according to the BBC.

Slash, guitarist for Guns N' Roses and Velvet Revolver, plus a successful solo artist, was born in Stoke-on-Trent. Lemmy, most famous for fronting long-running rockers Mot�rhead, was born in nearby Burslem.

"There's a lot of interest and people really want to get behind it," Plumb said. A Facebook campaign had drawn more than 400 followers, before apparently being removed. - more on this story
