DOZING SLASH BLOCKED OUT REVOLVER TROUBLES WITH PAINKILLERS

Rocker SLASH was so hooked on painkillers during VELVET REVOLVER's tough recording sessions for their new album LIBERTAD, he kept falling asleep in the studio.

While bandmates Duff McKagan and Matt Sorum were in rehab together and group tensions reached an all-time high following a difficult world tour, Slash tried to keep the supergroup together - but the pressure turned him onto drugs.

And he was so far gone at some points, he even contemplated joining McKagan and Sorum in rehab.

The guitarist tells Rolling Stone magazine, "There was a lot of negative s**t going on. Some of it was band stuff, some of it was home stuff... and I went on a little f**king OxyContin binge for, like, two or three months.

"I had set a date to go into rehab."
