Slash’s appearances in Australia are generating quite a few articles online. Here’s a roundup:
The Daily Telegraph:
“The more alienated rock becomes, the more I feel I really have to hold the flag,” he said.
“I know there’s going to be a creative revolution where playing stuff from the heart is going to end up being more important than the cookie cutter commercial stuff.
The Australian:
“I’ve been clean (alcohol and drugs) for almost seven years,” the British-American tells The Australian.
“It just got to the point where it wasn’t fun anymore. I mean I loved it … But I found that my reputation as the party guy made it hard for people to take me seriously.
“I realised the image that was such a part of my existence was actually working against me. So I quit.”

“No, the only time I’ve ever done something like this [asking musicians to work with him] was on my last album and I had all these great people on it, so I had to do some cold calling. The other collaborations are just things that happen by chance because you’re both at the same pub and you’re common language is music and next thing you’re playing together – or sometimes I get calls saying, ‘Can you come in and put something on a record,’” he explained.
