Interesting that he's so down to earth considering he is essentially LA royalty, his dad made album covers for famous artists like Neil Young and his mother made outfits for famous rock stars like David Bowie and Janis Joplin, Bowie was her ex. He lived a few doors down from the Beach Boys and the Animals, Laurel Canyon was nuts back in the late 60s, even the Mason family was hanging out there

I met Slash in Guitar Center in Sherman Oaks CA around 2005. Nice dude. He IS SLASH, it isn't an act. His son was having an EPIC temper tantrum on the floor, literally kicking and screaming, and Slash was having a "dad moment" while trying to buy drum sticks. I told him I would comp the sticks so he could go but he wouldn't take them for free, he said he had credit on account, which I looked up for him and then he was just like " dude I gotta go, I'll get sticks another time." It was so weird but also very genuine, I met arguably my biggest hero of my childhood and he was in full Slash attire but couldn't have been in more of a regular dude moment.

I have never heard Slash talk about Steven Adler this much in an interview in any positive light. So that's really nice.

He's such a true-to-life character. He's not playing a role. (Kiss, Alice Cooper) Undeniably identifiable. He signs autographs or used to and talks to fans. He's almost 60 but seems so much younger. I guess 60 is the new 30 something.

Aside from being a good guitar player, He's a cool guy down to earth. That makes a great musician and human. I met him at Sweetwater and he stopped to sign autographs for everyone out back. I've seen other people who play guitar there avoid the crowd... Which usually is only 12-20 people out back by the bus. Props to Slash I'll be buying the vinyl record.

Immediately after "Appetite for Destruction" came out, I rec'd it for Christmas and blasted It on my walkman all the way to grandpa house on Christmas. They kept yelling at me to turn it down but I couldn't hear them :)

Slash is always cool as hell . Rock On !!!

What a legend this guy is... love him!!!

Why is this life? I love Slash’s energy. It’s so pure 💟

Love Slash. When GN'R dropped in the late 80s, my buddies and I were blown away. I love so much of Slash's work outside Guns.

Dude thank you for letting him talk and tell his stories, I love hearing studio stories, even if it's just about how they mic something up. If anyone's paid attention, if music isn't electronic, I've noticed more and more that, if it's not the loudness wars (still 🙄) it's the lack of "air" in recordings. No ambience. I've left comments about this elsewhere. But while reverb was a big thing in the 80s obviously and I'm not referring to that, people aren't mixing in the instruments' sound in the room! Listen to Use Your Illusion. There's "room" between the instruments. It isn't always necessary, but it definitely makes drums and percussion sound insane. Compare Full Moon Fever's sound to anything recorded for KZread by any artist today. Even sea shanties recorded today sound so compressed and with zero breathe or atmosphere. So I'm glad they mic'd up the room. I'll check out the new album (I was playing it earlier but wasn't paying attention).
