Slash Talks "BandFuse"
What makes BandFuse different from other video games out there?
From my experience, what makes it different is the fact that you’re utilizing a real instrument. That’s the big difference for me. That was the integral thing that was missing from Guitar Hero when I was doing it. No matter how much time you put into it, how much of a good time you were having, or how many competitions...

Slash Column in Esquire: What I've Learned
I never want to draw attention to myself, but that’s all I do.
Guitars are like women. You’ll never get them totally right.
Being told no was the big thing ever since I can remember. And that was always getting in the way of creativity.
Musicians never actually talk about music.
The split between Axl and I was a quiet one. But because there was so much attention on the breakup —...

He gives a smoky chuckle: “There’s a lot of good crap on those Illusion...

Slash: Clockwork Orange changed me
“I loved the movie when I was a kid so my dad gave me the book and it’s still one of my favourites,” he said. “It wasn’t the sex and the violence – it was the dialogue and the way it was written.
