Some crazed, shirtless banshee tackled former Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash onstage during "Sweet Child o' Mine." And we know what you're thinking, but no, it wasn't Axl Rose.

The flabulous fan makes his entrance at around the 1:15 mark of the video, swiftly followed by security. Ever the pro, Slash took it all in stride—and barely misses a note of his solo! To make things totally rock 'n' roll legendary, the Kansas City Star quoted him afterwards about the Milan experience:

"It was a rowdy crowd for sure—but amazing. The guy who nailed me didn't take me down but he busted my poor guitar. Ah well... it was a kick-ass rock show."

Sure, his fingers can fly, but Slash also knows how to rock a good conspiracy theory or five.
