Members of the West Hollywood City Council and Mayor John Heilman publicly proclaimed what was already “Slash Day” in West Hollywood last night at an event at the House of Blues to honor the man.

He listed the many ways that his life has been impacted by West Hollywood and the Sunset Strip…

“Picking up the guitar for the first time in West Hollywood, then learning how to play in West Hollywood, starting a band in West Hollywood, and making it in West Hollywood. Getting a record deal at Geffen on Sunset which was the same place my dad used to work at when I was a kid. So I never left here. Everything in my life that is of any importance started in West Hollywood. And the Sunset Strip is like… such a part of me. So to be honored by the Sunset Strip is just a major, major thing for me.”
