He is quite a smart guy. Especially since he was able to survive his early years - he didn't let the drug use get the best of him.

Have you guys seen Celebrity Rehab? Steven Adler was on it last season (drummer that was kicked out of GnR for alleged excessive heroin use). It was really really sad.

During the show he often referred to Slash as being his best friend and how much he loves the guy.
