WOW! It's extremely rare you hear the same story from both parties involved in a spat. Slash totally owned up to it just like Paul said in his book. Good on Slash for that!

I hear Paul say he didn't wanna make their album,that at the gig they were complaining about the mixing and he offered to help so the story is a bit different...though Slash does admit he rebuffed him than called for free guitars.
I am impressed that he admitted the Paul Stanley story. He comes off looking good and honest because of it. Unlike many other Rock Star/Hollywood “elite”

Slash is just the coolest laid back guy, as someone said he doesn't want to talk about 20 plus years ago. They should just focus on his present pursuits, not that anyone could forget the original GN'R. He always puts his all in his music,very passionate guy when it comes to it!
I was surprised when I heard Slash give a interview for the first time back when they were a band yet. I think he's fairly intelligent and a good speaker.
im so proud of slash for getting clean and staying that way all of these years..........

Slash gets my respect. Not just pertaining to Slash only. But how in the world can a musician get stoned or even drunk and still play live? Maybe it's because they sound so shitty while being wasted, the guy working the console shuts off the actual guitar & plays prerecorded stuff to cover the guitar players ass.

Respectfully? Lol. Like being on heroine over and over, being drunk and cussing while accepting an award, or never mentioning that Izzy was GN’R. I was the hugest guns fan but after 30 years and nothing but a song or two they can eat shit. They fucked their career away. To write good GNR songs you need hunger and youth and they have neither. Their mansion and million dollar lifestyle isn’t conducive to writing street wise shit. Not to mention they don’t even like each other.
Axl did call Slash a few years later and we had the Not in this Life Time Tour!!!
The face of pain of the guy at the end is priceless

In his book Paul writes that Slash was a guitarist candidate after Ace left. I guess the point was Slash was too young for Kiss. He was 16 at that time.

Paul was right, and Slash kinda glossed over it, but good enough.
Bro you called him gay for the way he dressed 😭 So why do u think Paul would give u respect for the way u treated him...Like slash treat people with kindness 🙃
Good on Slash for owning 👏 up and owning an awkward part of his past. Paul, for his part pulled no punches in "KISS And Tell" I think that it was a well written memoir, but I'd probably have demurred on some parts of it if I'd been the one editing/ghost writing ✍️ it!
I´m glad Slash was wrong :)
His honesty is a breathe of fresh air ! 👍 I wish more individuals would be as honest regarding personal issues with someone. I am glad they were able to work through the issue, and move forward.
Man i cant belive the comments about Slash. Saw him with GnR in Bilbao 2 months a go and he was on top off his game! Slash is way above Stanley as a guitar player as good as Stanley is.... Plus hes tone is just legendary.

Guns n roses might of actually survived if Paul produced them. They made one great album. then it went to crap.
What slash was saying that made paul mad was that"paul Stanley is gay and his wife was a trophy wife".i have no idea if its true
Man imagine having to answer the same series of questions, not just from media but from fan interactions too, consistently for over 20 years about some relationship that ended negatively. This dude has the patience of a god but you can just feel the discomfort lol.
Never say never, Slash is back with Guns and its all gravy again.
I like Slash but I don't quite think that in the early days as a little-known newcomer band with a clear goal of becoming famous, they were never interested in working with a guy like Paul who was already a famous rock star at that time. That really doesn't make much sense.

Guys, please, stop with Guns n Roses question to Slash. Everything he had to answer this kind of question, it always bring some animosity from each side fans . It never gonna happen and I am kind of glad, because whatever they had 30 years ago, they dont have anymore. Nothing good could come from a reunion. There so many good question they could ask Slash of his current work and nobody ask those. Like, there is a chance of Myles release his solo record and they make a reverse tour with Conspiratos, playing Mayfiled Four, Solo Myles, Solo Slash and Guns n Roses tracks? Could he see in a close future Conspiratos became a band and the other members envolved more in the creative process? Would his albuns would always go to straight hard rock gender, or he has plan to do something more elaborated, such it was Use Your Illusion, with songs with solos and different tempos like Estranged, Locomotive and Coma?

Axl and Slash were both go blame for GNR's split. Yes, Axl was a control freak, he was unreasonable, defensive and disrespectful to his band mates. However, Slash is very stuck in his ways, he wants everything to be done old school, he's afraid to broaden his horizons and do something outside of traditional rock n' roll. Being drunk and high all the time probably didnt help either. So in the end, both are to blame, but im thrilled they are finally taking steps to sort their shit out.
