I got to meet Slash at the Viper Room in Hollywood in April 2002. I told him “Slash, you are such a huge influence for me on the guitar, thank you so much.” He smiled big and extended his hand to shake mine. I went back to some people I was talking to and wept. When your hero is as cool as you’d always hoped he’d be, it’s something that is never forgotten.

Most people have to once they hit 40. A hard night partying is easy to recover from at 20, but can take a lot longer at 40 and result in multi-day hangovers. Then there are those people with iron clad livers that can drink and snort etc until they are 80. Just as well, or the Rolling Stones would be wound up years ago (only joking, I think Keith is clean mostly these days too). I quit drinking after messing up my spine and getting disabled. Here in NZ drinking is how people socialize. Hanging out with drunk people is no fun when sober. I had to find other stuff to do. Weird because I do not drink, but I got obsessed with learning how to distill a decent vodka for a while and rely on family to test it for me. They did not mind at all. Now i just try to master pizza making. Perhaps some pedal and amp building next.

so true love the way hell hold a note instead of quickly going to the next note and that les paul helps too I'm 56 and been playing since I was 15 but liked the flashy guitars like flying V's for example but I just bought my first Gibson les paul and it makes you change how you play,a little slower with some feeling in it I love it that's why I was never a big fan of Metallica too fast and no soul. anyway you are soooo right. have a good day 😊

It stood out to me when the interviewer said that he see Slash's playing had improved and Slash said he appreciated that. I remember a few years back getting that Live From Stoke album and being genuinely blown away at how Slash had grown as a player and the new directions he was going in. His playing definitely has evolved and it's beautiful to see.

it's amazing that this man went from being a drunken drugged guy who would barely speak to the articulate person he is today.

Glad to see Slash doing so well and healthy! Love me some GnR!

As I read a lot of these comments, its so great to see how many people were inspired by him to pick up the instrument in the first place, and it makes me think of the people that inspired him to play. I love that process. He’s a pretty honest player. If you haven’t heard the “Ain’t life grand” record, check it out. Its a perfect record IMHO. I think of it as his “Rocks” (Aerosmith).

Slash is like the most chill guitar player ever

A good friend of mine from L.A., who works for a Children's fund said to me recently that he met Slash multiple times as he (Slash) was one of the biggest donors to children's well being, education, etc., and found him to be a very humble person. The way he responds to the crowd at every show, simply says what he's all about. I say this out of experience seeing him live post G'N'R as a solo artist to now where I saw him live with G'N'R in Dubai in 2017. He' still the same. A living legend.

"Guitars, that are, like ... double guitars ..."

Slash really took me by surprise. Fantastic player yet very soft spoken and a humble guy.

Everybody’s different, have perseverance, find your strengths and weaknesses. Work really hard, keep your guitar around, when ideas come, let it happen :) Slash is an absolute legend. So much you can learn from this interview alone

Slash is the reason I bought 2 Les Pauls. The guy does magic with those instruments like it's nothing, and yet he's so down to earth and humble. He gives a lot of his income to charity organizations particularly for children. I know this cause a friend of mine has worked with him for a child shelter in California.

He's just so fkn humble ... what a legend. he signed my Guitar twice - it was like COLD AS FUCK outside, but he did take his time for every fkn fan around there!

One of my heroes and the one that actually made me buy my first guitar!!! I know I am not the only one either....

Slash was my inspiration to play guitar back in the AFD days.. He is my true idol. Genuine rock n roll star, guitar god, who is humble and such a great guy to hear speaking. Great video. I never tire of listening to Slash play or speak. Such a lazy and unique style. Amazing.

Brilliant interview slash is amazing and so down too earth a true guitar legend

Slash has solidified his mark in Rock.

Slash inspired me years ago in the early 90's when he said he would play 8 hours a day before a show in a magazine interview. He is consistent and honest. Very Inspirational Slash. Thank you. Thank you also for doing this interview.

I've been lucky enough to have met slash twice in denver and atlanta,he really is a cool guy,he even gave my wife a hug!

The fact that Slash can speak on recording techniques confidently, understanding the mixing processes only make me further understand how great of an artist and how humble of a person he is

Omg man i love him so much ❤️ ❤️ he is such an amazing human

His one of my favorite guitar player.👍👍🎸😎

It is so gratifying to watch an inspiration through the years stay the same and not let celebrity status change who he is. Others need to take a page out of his book.
