It looks like Lindsay Lohan had an appetite for destruction music on Tuesday night.

Just prior to making her way over to the Dream Hotel in New York City, where the Liz & Dick star was arrested on suspicion of leaving the scene of an accident after she allegedly hit a bystander with her car, LiLo was taking in a Slash concert at the Hammerstein Ballroom.

"I see Lindsay Lohan was arrested last night," tweeted drummer Eddie Trunk, who opened for the former Guns N' Roses lead guitarist, along with the above photo. "She was standing next to me @Slash gig last night. I'm a bad influence..."

While the "bad influence" remark was probably made in jest, one thing for certain is that alcohol was not considered to be factor in the Lohan incident as the actress was not administered a sobriety test at the time of her being taken into custody.

Lohan was later released shortly after 4:30 a.m. on Wednesday after being issued a desk appearance ticket.

Meanwhile, Slash himself took to Twitter to defend Lohan.

"The situation last night w/Lindsey was a lame paparazzi stunt," he tweeted on Wednesday. "She didn't do anything. it's being blown out of proportion."
