Witam. Na wstępie chce zaznaczyć, że jestem nowy, więc w tym dziale zakładam wątek, najwyżej zostanie przeniesiony. Witam serdecznie wszystkich fanów.
To pytanie nie ma żadnych podtekstów, zażyłości, uprzedzeń itp. Zadaje je z czystego zaciekawienia i na wstępie zaznaczam, że oczekuję od Was tylko faktów a nie przekonań.
Zaciekawiła mnie okładka biografii Slasha oraz liczne wpisy na zagranicznych forach o tym, że ojciec Slasha- Anthony Hudson jest Żydem.
Chodzi o to(biografia):
It seems excessive!but that doesn't mean it didn't happen. Saul "Slash" Hudson was born in Hampstead to a Jewish father, an album cover artist, and a black American mother of Nigerian descent, who created David Bowie's look in The Man Who Fell to Earth.
Całość: It seems excessive!but that doesn't mean it didn't happen. Saul "Slash" Hudson was born in Hampstead to a Jewish father, an album cover artist, and a black American mother of Nigerian descent, who created David Bowie's look in The Man Who Fell to Earth. He was raised in Stoke until he was 11, when he and his mother moved to LA. Frequent visitors to the house were David Bowie, Joni Mitchell, Ron Wood and Iggy Pop, . At this time Slash got into BMX bikes, and would eventually turn professional, winning won major awards and money, but at 15 his grandmother gave him his first guitar. Even though it had just one string he began teaching himself to play, and soon school was forgotten as he devoted up to 12 hours a day to honing his skills. Sessions with numerous local LA rock bands followed until a fateful meeting with singer W Axl Rose! and the rest was rock history. Guns and Roses spent two years building their reputation before Appetite for Destruction, their debut album, was unleashed on an unsuspecting Eighties audience.Chart success and global domination followed but with it came the inevitable fall: heavily addicted to heroin, booze and cigarettes, the strain of this and 18 months touring the Use your Illusion albums finally caused the world's greatest rock band to implode, and Slash had a major falling out with Axl Rose, a rift that to this day is as deep as ever. But a new wife, kids and a new band, Velvet Revolver, have put Slash back on track -- the heroin is gone, but the cigarettes and alcohol will be there forever. The iconic lead guitarist tells in his own words the amazing tale of how a boy from Stoke ended up in Hollywood as part of Guns and Roses. Finally, all the lurid tales of sex, drugs and rock and roll are revealed as he describes the incredible rollercoaster journey as part of the biggest rock band in the world, living life to the full during the Eighties.
Wpisów internetowych nie będę przytaczał.
Wikipedia mówi natomiast:
Slash was born Saul Hudson in Hampstead, London. His mother, Ola Hudson (born Oliver; 1946–2009), was an African-American costume designer whose clients included David Bowie, and his father, Anthony Hudson, is an English artist who created album covers for musicians such as Neil Young and Joni Mitchell. Contrary to popular belief, Slash's mother was not Nigerian, nor is his father Jewish.
Strona którą znalazłem o tematyce pochodzenia gwiazd mówi:

Welcome to the Jungle, bubbelah?
It seems too weird to be true: dubiously deemed all-time guitar great Slash is often listed as a member of the tribe.
Well, he's not. His father is gentile(tł.= aryjczyjk), his mother is black, not Jewish as rumored. So we shouldn't expect any performances of "Sweet Mensch O' Mine," "Nisan Rain" or "Live and Let's Go Get A Nosh" at any upcoming Guns N' Roses reunion concerts.
And here we thought it was our chance to expand the list of cool Jewish rock stars that begins and ends with Gene Simmons. Well, that's not happening; the cross Slash is wearing in some of his videos should have been our first hint.
Hey, it could be worse. At least he's not pretending to be an English Jew like Madonna.
Verdict: Not a jew."

Zaciekawił mnie ten temat niezmiernie. Pytam bo odpowiedzi nie można szukać na forach internetowych (przykładem mit ;polished jews' który zakorzenił się na dobre w głowach wielu "znawców"). Chłodno odnoszę się te do swojego angielskiego, może jakiś anglista lub amerykanista byłby w stanie stosownie odnieść się do wątku biografii. Być może ktoś z Was pamiętaj jakiś wywiad Slasha, w którym mówił coś o swoim pochodzeniu?
Pozdrawiam i dziękuję za ew. odpowiedzi.
