50th Birthday facts
While investigating facts about 50th Birthday, I found out little known, but curios details like:
Joe Perry sold his 1959 Gibson Les Paul during his 1982 divorce. Later he found the guitar was owned by Slash. Perry called Slash and bugged him for years, offering to pay more than the guitar's worth. Years later at Joe's 50th birthday party, Slash finally gave him the guitar as a gift.
The guitar Slash plays on November Rain is a 59 Les Paul that Aerosmiths Joe Perry used in the 1970s before selling it. Perry wanted it back but lost track of it until a friend saw it in a magezine article about Slash. Slash didn't want to sell, but gave it to Perry for his 50th birthday.
In my opinion, it is useful to put together a list of the most interesting details from trusted sources that I've come across. Here are 10 of the best facts about 50th Birthday I managed to collect.
