A human cartoon of
hair, super-strength cigarettes and the rock world’s most famous top
hat, Slash is one of the most iconic guitarists in recent memory.
Although born in Stoke-on-Trent, this one-off guitarist came to
prominence through the debauchery and stellar chart success of the
American west coast’s Guns N’ Roses; Slash’s highly productive but
volatile relationship with lead singer Axl Rose led to a perhaps
inevitable split in the mid-90s. Moving on first to his own Snakepit
project, then a blues band, then on to a career as one of the world’s
most sought after soloists, Slash’s profile has finally returned to
its highest peak with the formation of the outrageous and hugely
successful Velvet Revolver, a super-group of rock stars that lives life
as hard as his former band-mates ever did. His story is inevitably one of massive rock and roll excess, exhausting and famous live shows, fiery confrontations with other musicians but also of incredible discipline, a unique natural musical gift and, of course – through ‘Sweet Child O’ Mine’ and ‘Paradise City’ to name but a few – the creation of some of rock music’s most legendary songs. |
