Lemmy & Slash statues in Stoke-on-Trent?

What does Lemmy from Motorhead & Slash have in common?

You guessed it... STOKE-ON-TRENT!

Slash was actually born in Hampstead & raised in the city of Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire ("Interview with Slash", Live from Studio Five (BBC Channel 5), 28 May 2010) while Lemmy was born in there & studied in Staffordshire University (well, Staffordshire Polytechnic back in the day) spending years of his life in gloomy ol' Stoke.

If you want to support this effor to have their statues raised in Stoke-on-Trent you can have a look at the facebook page about it: http://www.facebook.com/StokeStatues

You can also hear Nile Plumb arguing about it on BBC Stoke:

Well, I hope they succeed, but I am afraid... if other kind of music orientation people hijack the idea we might end up with a Robbie Williams statue... bliach!
