I can't stomach the show.  I got caught up in the Sanjaya craze a couple years ago and voted for him in hopes that he'd win and ruin the show, as he was terrible.  Didn't work though.  I hate the show, I'll try to catch the Slash clips on youtube or something, but I can't subject myself to watching it live.

From what I've heard, they've had NON vocalists help out before, so it's not uncommon.

Rock week.  I predict he will try and help with "rock attitude" and "swagger", something Slash has plenty of.

I just lost a ton of respect for Slash.  Man this is so lame of him.  I lost respect for Bon Jovi for doing the same lameass thing.

I haven't lost respect for Slash for this, it's right up his alley.  I don't agree with it and could care less about it.  Unfortunately this is the state of the music industry these days.  Respected artists are now being forced to appear on that lame, yet immensely successful show.

Slash has played with everyone from Michael Jackson to Fergie, why should an appearance on American Idol be so surprising?

Yeah. Slash was dead to me as soon as he teamed with Fergie.

American Idol at least actually as SOME talent. Fergie's talent... we'll it probably ain't on stage at least. Well, unless there's a pole involved.
