![]() ![]() I didn’t know there was a new one actually until I saw the ad in a trailer. We met there and I sort of fanboyed out and managed to get his phone number and now I bug him all the time. He came to a Guns N’ Roses show because he’s a fan. “Oh I know Patrick Wilson, I met him after the first Insidious. I found it quite unsettling.” The last film that scared us was Insidious: The Red Door, which we saw this morning! It was so visceral, raw and fucking bleak. That said, the first Night Of The Living Dead scared the shit out of me. I just thought it was really entertaining. “We actually saw it in a drive-through, but my mum and her girlfriend had me in the backseat. Then, when it came out I went to see The Exorcist.” There’s a really cool mini doc about The Exorcist’s release where you can see people fainting from the stress – was it really like that? “Yeah, she’s American, so when I moved to the States she turned me on to all the classics that I hadn’t seen like Dracula, King Kong, Frankenstein and The Wolfman. ‘The Exorcist’ is one of the most influential horror movies of all time.

We had quite the experience. In fact, so chatty is the top-hatted rock and roller that we end up running out of questions… Hey Slash, did you have a good time at Glastonbury? He tells us about the new scary movie he’s produced and scored, The Breach, talks up his fave film composers and gushes excitedly about an old Hollywood pal, Patrick Wilson. When Guns N’ Roses’ guitar wizard Slash pops up on our Zoom call four days after an electrifying ( if controversial) Worthy Farm set, he’s far from mopey though. You ascend onto stage, rock out in front of 100,000 people (if you’re headlining), experience what it’s like to be a god, and then you just toddle off home afterwards.
