Welcome to the jungle bachelorhood: Slash has filed for divorce from wife Perla Ferrar after nine years of marriage.

The erstwhile Guns N' Roses guitarist, whose real name is Saul Hudson, cited irreconcilable differences for the split, and per a petition filed today in L.A. Superior Court, he is seeking joint physical and legal custody of the couple's two sons, 8-year-old London and 4-year-old Cash.

"From his perspective, the split is amicable," the rocker's rep, Kristen Foster, tells E! News.

The 45-year-old guitar hero and the 35-year-old Ferrar exchanged vows in Hawaii back in October 2001 and he would often bring the wife and kids to various movie premieres and other events. They separated on July 15.
