Tags: Far Away, In Ghost, Rad, www.butterteam.comSlash from Guns and Roses riding around his BMX bike in between shows. It’s Slash for sure even though I know it’s difficult to see him behind those gigantic handlebars.
I know this was from the late eighties but that bike looks like it much older. Any ideas on what kind of bike he’s riding in this?
Chinese Democracy anyone?

SOUND From their rope chains to their spare, bass-heavy beats, Chuck and Mikey bring a knowing wink to the style of Eighties heroes like Eric B and EPMD. Their anthem, “88,” cops a mantra from Nas’ “Made You Look”: “Do the Smurf, do the wop, baseball bat/Rooftop like I’m bringin’ ’88 back.” And yet on singles like “I Rock” and “Black Mags,” the duo sounds effortlessly of-the-moment, earning its boast of being “the black Beastie Boys.”
KEY TRACK “Black Mags” A retro-electro beat backs the duo’s slick boasts about BMX bikes.
RAP FASHIONISTAS Chuck and Mikey have been lauded for their alt-B-boy fashion sense: brightly colored vinyl jackets, shell toes, hats and scarves. But Chuck was still flummoxed when a Chicago paper did a piece on them and their style. “The stuff I wear, I just wake up out of bed and put it on,” he says. “Next thing you know, people are like, ‘That’s a cool sweater!’ ”
