Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash is a big fan of … the Patriots?

Slash, of Guns N’ Roses fame, was born in England and moved to Los Angeles at a young age, so of course he’s a New England Patriots fan.

How this happened is a mystery, but the Patriots’ web site pointed out the strange combination. When the guitarist (real name: Saul Hudson) of the iconic rock band put up his Beverly Hills home — about $11 million for the 10,791-square-foot palace with eight bathrooms and seven bedrooms, if you’re in the market — the photos on Estately provided the proof that Slash enjoys the Patriots, in the form of some wall decor. Good catch by the Patriots’ web site folks:

Take me down to Paradise City, where the grass is green and the balls are squishy (h/t to our Jay Busbee for the one liner).

I guess when you have eight bathrooms you can have the Flying Elvis logo Fathead decorating one of them. Patriots coach Bill Belichick has been known to hang out with Jon Bon Jovi on occasion, but it’s a little tougher to picture him rocking out with Slash.

Either way, if you’re in the Beverly Hills area, always wanted to live in a rock star’s house, have the means to afford the estimated $41,942 monthly mortgage payment and like the Patriots, we’ve found just the place for you.
