During an appearance on the podcast Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend, Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash admitted he had no intention of his top hat being a long-term thing. Slash shoplifted both the hat and the belt which goes around the hat from two different stores on a whim just because he thought they looked cool.
Slash believes his top hat is now more famous than him and that he is more comfortable with the top hat than without. Listen to the hour long chat between Conan and Slash below.
