Velvet Revolver frontman Slash has admitted that he doesn't wear underwear as it makes him feel claustrophobic.

The 44-year-old also confessed that he had to give up his snakes and his porn collection for his marriage to Perla Ferrar.

The former Guns N' Roses guitarist told The Guardian: "I did [wear leather trousers to my wedding]. I got a leather blazer made [as well]. But I hate ties. They make me feel claustrophobic. I don't like underwear for the same reason."

When asked whether he had to give up his snakes or porn stash first he said: "When I first hooked up with my wife, before she and I got married… we kept the snakes but she said, 'What is all this?' I had a box of porn from Europe. The next thing you knew, that went. I had about 80 snakes, they were not a problem but when my first son was born we both thought better."

Slash, who appears in Guitar Hero 3, admitted that he once got addicted to the rhythm game, but isn't very good at it.

"I'm terrible at Guitar Hero because I play too much real guitar and they don't complement each other," he said. "I did get addicted at one point. Now I've unplugged it and put it away."
