PRESS RELEASE

The world record breaking auction house that has specialized in some of the most headline making Rock ‘N’ Roll artist auctions in the past fifteen years will present for the first time in Julien’s history, this exclusive celebrity “uncoupling auction” featuring some of the most personal and unique items from the magnificent Beverly Hills estate that Perla Hudson and legendary Guns ‘N’ Roses guitarist Slash shared during their fourteen year marriage as well as memorabilia and ephemera related to Slash’s career, style and showmanship as one of the most revered and powerful musicians ever to be inducted into the Rock ‘N’ Roll Hall of Fame. A portion of the proceeds will benefit Youth Emerging Stronger (YES) (formerly LAYN) whose programs provide safety, stability and housing to runaway, homeless and foster youth ages 11-24.

Perla Hudson (born Ferrer) first met lead guitarist Slash in 1992, backstage at a Guns ‘N’ Roses concert in Las Vegas at the height of the L.A. band’s domination and superstardom as rock’s “most dangerous band in the world.” In the band’s heyday from the late ‘80s-‘90s, “GNR” electrified concert arenas around the world with their high energy performances and tours and recording of what is considered one of Rock ‘N’ Roll’s greatest albums “Appetite for Destruction” (Geffen Records, 1987) the best selling debut album of all time in the U.S. having sold over 30 million records worldwide, while creating controversy with the band’s rowdy and volatile behavior on and off the stage. Slash’s guitar riffs and solos in the band’s most classic hit songs including “Sweet Child o’Mine,” “Welcome to the Jungle” and “Paradise City” shaped the sound and fury of GNR and his later work with bands such as Velvet Revolver garnered Slash

critical acclaim, ranking on Time and Rolling Stone’s top lists as one of the greatest electric guitarists of all time among many other honors.

Highlights of the auction include wardrobe items of Slash’s signature look such as his black custom made Baron Hats Gran Marca Cerva bowler hat and signed top hat (photo right), his black leather motorcycle jacket with a printed image of Jimi Hendrix on the reverse, custom made Erin Lareau black leather vest with ruffles, leather belts with labels and illustrations ranging from “Bill Graham Presents”

to various sex themes and a pair of Red Diamond leather and snakeskin cowboy boots printed with Slash’s name and skull and crossbones (photo above left); an MTV Music Video Award Moonman trophy, presented in 1987-1988 to Slash for Best New Artist in a Video for Guns ‘N’ Roses “Welcome to the Jungle” (estimate: $12,000-$15,000) (photo left); a limited edition (1/3) bronze and leather upholstered “Tally Ho” chair or spanking bench, designed by Mark Brazier-Jones and purchased at the Kiki De Montparnasse boutique (estimate: $12,000-$15,000); a Hollywood Walk of Fame Plaque presented to Slash on July 10, 2012 by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce; pinball machines from Slash’s collection and game tables including his Simpson’s Pinball Party 2006 pinball machine by Stern Pinball Inc., a Jersey Jack {Wizard of Oz} limited edition pinball
