Slash got his nickname from a family friend Seymour Cassel. Slash explains, "It was a nickname that Seymour Cassel used to call me. I used to be (and) I'm still good friends with his son, Matt, so I used to hang out over at their house and he always used to call me Slash. Basically, he says it was because I was always in a hurry and I was always scheming, I was always hustling, this and that. He always saw me on the go, on the fly. So he used to call me Slash and it just stuck. My friends started calling me that and it just became a permanent nickname."
For the song "Rocket Queen" on Appetite for Destruction; Axl Rose brought a woman to the studio and had sex with her so that the sounds that the woman made could be recorded and put over the bridge of the song.

We wound up recording about 30 minutes of sex noises. If you listen to the break on Rocket Queen it's in there
