I just watched a Jonesy's Juke box interview with Slash where he reveals how he got the nick Slash. It has nothing to do with knives. Turns out a Dad of one of his friends early on noticed that Slash would visit but only stay a minute or two So the Dad started calling him Slash due to his speedy...
