Slash Ponders Guns N' Roses' Rock Hall Induction
Now that they’ve rectified that oversight, who is next for a long overdue induction in Slash’s mind? “The one that comes to mind right off the bat — and it’s not even a band that I’m a huge fan of but definitely is eligible — is Kiss,” he says. “And I know that they’ve been passed over every f—-ing year.”Perhaps Kiss and GNR...

Designed by committee: no Slash and Lemmy statues...
A great example of people wanting to please everyone and rejecting an idea because it’s “not broad enough”. They are looking into pursuing something much more generic and boring:Labour councillor and music promoter Matt Wilcox said he felt the statue proposal was too selective. […] ”It’s actually quite selfish to focus on these two specific artists and I think...
Slash: I draw the line at Glee. Glee is worse than...
How would you feel about Glee doing a Guns N’ Roses song or themed episode? Actually, we got asked about that once already but it got turned down. In the current climate of what’s going on in entertainment these days, I try to be more optimistic than negative because it’s really easy to get negative about it, but I draw the line at Glee. Glee is worse than Greaseand Grease is bad enough…....

AFD100 Signature Amp To Be Displayed At NAMM
After countless hours and several prototypes, the AFD100 was born with two distinct, footswitchable modes labeled #34 and AFD, both offering 100% pure Slash sounds.

The World According to ... Slash (via gibson.com)
On life throwing you a curveball, as stated in 2007 autobiography Slash“No one expects the rug to be yanked out from underneath them; life-changing events usually don’t announce themselves. While instinct and intuition can help provide some warning signs, they can do little to prepare you for the feeling of rootlessness that follows when fate flips your world upside down.

Slash's "Guitar Hero": Slash talks about Jimi...
Any particular favourite recordings?S: With Jimi, his first two recordings are my favourites. Axis: Bold as Love is my favourite Hendrix album.

To an extent you’re kind of...
