Velvet Revolver guitarist Slash has revealed that he would be best friends with Amy Winehouse if he had not quit drinking.
The rocker - who also played with Guns N' Roses - said Winehouse's drink and drug-fuelled lifestyle reminds him of his own hellraising past.
He said: "Amy talks a lot about how much she can drink and I put a lot of booze away in my day. If I was still drinking, I'm sure we'd be hanging out."
The 42-year-old is now clean but has admitted to checking into rehab in the last few years.
Slash, who has been in the UK promoting his autobiography, recently told The Independent that South America is his favourite place to hire hookers.
