During the weekend TMZ reported that fans wearing T-shirts depicting former GNR guitar slinger Slash were to turn the shirts inside out if they wanted admittance to Axl Rose & Company’s gig in Regina, Sk., last Wednesday. The same report claimed fans wearing top hats similar to Slash’s trademark topper were told to leave the hats outside.

But now it’s looking as if the item is merely the latest less than factual factoid attributed to the band. Several media outlets claim they came up empty when trying to find anyone who actually experienced a Slash ban at a GNR show last week. Or, for that matter any week.
