I just found this pic of Slash yesterday; it doesn't look as if he has changed physically a bit since the late 80s, except that he's grown a double chin. Scroll down a bit to see:

I used to really like him, too, when he was "mysterious" as someone else said he used to be.
Someone else mentioned that he appeared to be "slow". I saw an interview with him a few years ago and he didn't seem to be very bright.
