Ya it’s to bad that Steven Adler was just so far gone and burnt out that when GnR went out on that enormous tour a few years back they thought he just wasn’t ready to go out and play the set every night. But at least he got to play a couple times on the tour. It was just sad because he really practiced a lot to try and get his chops back up but it just didn’t work out lol
Strombo is the best host I've seen, always genuine and interesting and asks interesting questions. We don't have any one like him in the UK at the moment.
I play a Les Paul Gibson and going back 20 odd years :) I remember wanting one because of Slash, great guitars!! when it comes to rock!! the Les Paul really has the BALLS
Well tbh most people don’t try. Slash isn’t necessary lucky. He used to spend nearly 12 hours a day playing a guitar in his teens. Most people won’t ever try to do that because it’s “too hard” Slash sacrificed a lot and it payed off. He didn’t get lucky.
You think luck was all it was? U think he was just handed his dream and this amazing life? This is a guy who spent most of his youth homeless and penniless. Why do so many musicians develop alcohol or drug problems? B/c that’s how desperate and hopeless things get when playing your own music is all you wanna do. There’s a lot of idle existential time and it gets to a point where getting fucked up is the only way to deal with yourself. You’re choosing to live this hard life as a destitute couch surfer hoping that someday maybe a record company throws you a life line. These are guys who were willing to die as junkies and alcoholic nobodies in pursuit of a mythical rockstar dream that they think will make their lives better and solve all their problems but actually warped their entire reality and made their lives a whole lot worse. this rockstar dream almost killed him 3 times. The only luck I see is that he actually lived through and overcame all of that shit to still be able to support himself doing his own thing today and he managed to find 3 musicians and 1 psychotic singer that just so happened to have such amazing musical chemistry together. But he fucking paid for it. He earned it and a life that looks perfect and glamorous will never feel perfect or glamorous when you’re the one who has to live it.
This would have to be my favorite Slash interview I've seen out there. Being Aussie, I haven't seen this show or interviewer before, but damn, that was fantastic. Slash IS THEE most coolest person on the planet and the coolest that will ever be. I don't envy anyone more. What can I say.....I just get a buzz out of everything Slash does......he is the package. If Slash could read this, I wish I could just say thank you for existing and keeping a legendary status whilst being humble and keeping it real.
If you haven't already, you really should pick up a copy of his book "Slash". Even if you don't really like him, you'll like the book, it's pretty good. I think he should write more. Oh, and Duff's book, "Its so easy...and other lies" is really good too!
Never liked Guns n' Roses (really I just can't stand Axl's voice), but Slash always seemed like a really sincere, chill dude to me. I liked Velvet Revolver, too. I will certainly check his book out! I don't doubt he's had an interesting time of it, to say the least.
Mychael Darklighter Really, that's too bad.I think Axl is one of my top most male vocalists. But being a huge fan, I respect others opinions of him. Enjoy Slash's book!
thanks! that was really good. not the usual stupid questions that everyone seems to ask over and over again. i could listen to Slash talk for the rest of my life. he's such a real guy, he's awesome!
Strombo had just great questions. Felt more like two mate's having a casual chat than an interview. Learnt a bit from slash too and his perspective is so interesting. Really enjoyed this..thanks..
AWESOME video! Thanks so much for posting! Slash has been my Guitar God since 1992. One of the most talented, raw and real artists of all-time! Seeing Slash and Myles Kennedy LIVE for the 3rd time in September. Super pysched!
This was an amazing interview. Informative and I enjoyed it very much. Slash has made his path on the Rock and Roll road and he has been honest about his life and if you you've not read his book, you should. I respect him and always will.
I find his interviews very interesting to listen to. He presents as a very personable, sensitive and intelligent person. From what little I know about him, it sounds as if he has been through a lot. He is quite a survivor in his own right. I like what he said about taking the energy he was putting into drinking and channeling it into music and other far more productive areas. It's amazing how much energy is wasted on certain behaviors that are so unproductive. It just goes to prove that even if you are very successful (in terms of fame and fortune), there are still many challenges in life that one has to deal with or overcome. Congratulations to him for being able to do that. I'm sure with his level of fame and fortune it wasn't very easy and must be a bit of a day-to-day struggle. But he appears so focused. I admire that kind of behavior. It's very positive and I think it rubs off in a positive way on other people.
What a dynamic well spoken Legend!! He seems very grounded and intelligent! He made it clear that Axl is a douche without saying it too!! Congrats on your sobriety Slash!! youre a great Artist and guy!
Many years ago I was studying to earn my PhD in School Psychology from Loyola in Chicago. At the time, psychologists were studying problem solving and creativity. I learned that there was no correlation between drug use and creativity- which is a really positive thing. Drugs don't increase creativity. That whole thing is just a myth that so many people buy into. They think the more drugs they take the more creative it will make them. But it just doesn't fly. I think that's what Slash was trying to communicate here.
Once in a blue moon, we get to see a really good guitarist... But once in a lifetime, we get to see Slash... One of the most iconic if not the best guitarist the world has ever had the privilege to listen and to watch. Certainly a hero of mine and undoubtedly the man that made me look at a guitar as an art not just an instrument. An icon... A legend... I'm so happy that he is still playing and producing music for the future generations to hear... Slash is not just a name, he's a legend... Congratulations on the Hall of Fame Awards... Truly deserving... I still have the "Appetite For Destructions" album on cassette tape... One of my prized possession... :)

What an increadibly likeable person Slash is, seems so laid back and humble about everything.
thats the magic effect of his sunglasses
Slash is just awesome. I wish he was real...
what??
Yeah, I hear ya. He is like a god. :-)
Its a Southpark reference - they made him like Santa Clause in an episode and all the kids find out he isn't real
like kanye
that's fuckin funny
is it just me or is slash reeeeeeally reeeeally an interesting person??
mattylga01 he's one of the most interesting people living right now. Not many people come close to his swag..he's such a chill dude as well..
+mattylga01 Really interesting. Really nice too, and he's one of the last of the pre-1990 rockers still putting out new music
+mattylga01 You got that right and yes he is.
+mattylga01 He's . without a question of a Doubt
Compared to most former drug addicts/alcoholics, he's very smart and articulate
I like Slash . He's so reserved , and Very articulate when he Speaks .
What a sweet guy, Slash is and i love the interviewer's friendly way of interacting with him.
Is it me or does Slash have a voice like aged wine? A very gentle and calm but textured voice?
scyllaandcharybdis yes he does
It is you, and it's a fine observation. ☆
No it's not just you. I've always noticed that about him and as he gets over it softens. It's beautiful isn't it?
he still has the same old laugh
Agreed ....can listen to him talk all day
At the end of the day, all this time later, Axl and Slash did reunite. And it's been awesome.
I didn't know Slash was so soft-spoken haha. He lets his guitar do the talking.
Like how this interviewer let's him talk.
George is awesome
George is one of the best
Yeah, unlike Piers Morgan. He never lets him talk.
Slash is so well spoken
I respect Slash for never giving up on Steven Adler. That's true friendship.
I agree, they been friends forever, they r like brothers
Ya it’s to bad that Steven Adler was just so far gone and burnt out that when GnR went out on that enormous tour a few years back they thought he just wasn’t ready to go out and play the set every night. But at least he got to play a couple times on the tour. It was just sad because he really practiced a lot to try and get his chops back up but it just didn’t work out lol
@@nicholasjarvis8958lol? That doesn’t seem appropriate
This interviewer is fantastic. So rare to see an interviewer who isn't just poking at the subject, trying to get salacious sound bites. Kudos, sir.
SLASH IS AWESOME
The mans a fucking godsend.
Slash speaking? Oh my gawd!
it's been said so many times but I say it again: Strombo's approach is refreshing
except when he calls out people for their political beliefs.... like Dave Mustaine.
That was a setup
TheBillproject I would've told Stroumboloupoloupalus or whatever his name is to shove it.
There is something creepy about the dude to me; the way he stares without blinking and then does that fake ass laugh of his..
Strombo is the best host I've seen, always genuine and interesting and asks interesting questions. We don't have any one like him in the UK at the moment.
Slash is definitely one of those intellectual and articulate (laid back too) rock stars that don't just do music, he is an amazing person
Slash is so nice and polite person! Great Interview!
great interview
I love you Slash of my heart
The English in him
I play a Les Paul Gibson and going back 20 odd years :) I remember wanting one because of Slash, great guitars!! when it comes to rock!! the Les Paul really has the BALLS
This is probably the first Slash interview where they didn't ask about Axl. Those questions always pissed Slash off.
@Talksense He is NOT most responsible for Slash's rise to fame
@Talksense Slash would've been taken into a hundred different bands, it's not like Slash need GnR to be successful
😂😂😂😂
I freakin LOVE slash he's so amazing and talented. I love him so much!!!
Slash is very lucky he got to live his dream while most of us couldn't.
Well tbh most people don’t try. Slash isn’t necessary lucky. He used to spend nearly 12 hours a day playing a guitar in his teens. Most people won’t ever try to do that because it’s “too hard” Slash sacrificed a lot and it payed off. He didn’t get lucky.

Not luck, he earned it.
i had no idea slash was so well connected before the gnr days and his parents and stuff. good interview!!
What an awesome interview, Slash is the man.
I still remember the day my parents told me slash isn't real, I felt so sad.
This would have to be my favorite Slash interview I've seen out there.
Being Aussie, I haven't seen this show or interviewer before, but damn, that was fantastic. Slash IS THEE most coolest person on the planet and the coolest that will ever be. I don't envy anyone more. What can I say.....I just get a buzz out of everything Slash does......he is the package. If Slash could read this, I wish I could just say thank you for existing and keeping a legendary status whilst being humble and keeping it real.
Slash is the only guy who can spot a top had and still look bad ass.
Wow man just wow. Two guys that have mastered their craft. Strombo and slash you both are effing awesome. Cheers !
Strombo is the fucking Boss host.
Too bad the interview with Dave Mustaine was so short and ended on a sour note.
*****
Yeah I've come to realize Dave is somethin else. lmao
he's super chill and he's greatt
He does exist!
It’s my dad
Very smart and aware.
One of the best interviews I’ve with him
Slash rocks on stage and seem nice and cool
Guns N Roses one of the most know bands GLOBALLY and he still says Michael Jackson was just too famous............Humble and true
Great interview. So much well articulated perspective and insight. I would like this vid 5 times if I could.
A classic man whos keep it real!
I love Slash..
Kudos to the interviewer. Great questions and not many interruptions. The best interview I've seen.
Amazing interview!
George is one of the best at what he does.
cool guitarist. and good style.
He is always so laid back! He has never boasted about his fame, just very humble! Love ya Slash.
wow i never fail to be amazed at how well spoken he is
such an amazing guy
Two of my favorite people together on one stage :)
Congratulations Slash on everything 💥
It doesn't seem that long ago,and yet it feels like a lifetime ago.....Slash is so right.
I love this interview
I love slash
So that's how he sounds like!
EPIC!!!!
If you haven't already, you really should pick up a copy of his book "Slash". Even if you don't really like him, you'll like the book, it's pretty good. I think he should write more.
Oh, and Duff's book, "Its so easy...and other lies" is really good too!
Slash's book is fantastic, Just about to start reading Duff's & then I'll move onto Matt Sorums.
Stevie Wonder Good to know. Luv biographies.
Never liked Guns n' Roses (really I just can't stand Axl's voice), but Slash always seemed like a really sincere, chill dude to me. I liked Velvet Revolver, too.
I will certainly check his book out! I don't doubt he's had an interesting time of it, to say the least.
Mychael Darklighter Really, that's too bad.I think Axl is one of my top most male vocalists. But being a huge fan, I respect others opinions of him. Enjoy Slash's book!
+Stevie Wonder It's such a good read!
i love you slash,i cant wait to see you soon at metro city perth !
thanks! that was really good. not the usual stupid questions that everyone seems to ask over and over again. i could listen to Slash talk for the rest of my life. he's such a real guy, he's awesome!
Strombo had just great questions. Felt more like two mate's having a casual chat than an interview. Learnt a bit from slash too and his perspective is so interesting. Really enjoyed this..thanks..
I WISH I COULD PLAY LIKE HIM SWEET CHILD OF MINE
Great Interview. Slash seems like such a genuine all around great guy.
I remember when my little daughter asked me if Slash was real! Had to do some real fast footwork. Didn’t want to ruin the Holiday for her.
Slash is someone whom I have great respect for.
Missed this one on the other tube.
Really good interview, Icon musician.
That was the best thing you ever did in you life slash. You and your talent will get somewhere wonderful in your life. Said With Love, JC
AWESOME video! Thanks so much for posting! Slash has been my Guitar God since 1992. One of the most talented, raw and real artists of all-time! Seeing Slash and Myles Kennedy LIVE for the 3rd time in September. Super pysched!
George rocks...used to have an awesome metal radio show. Slash is a really cool guy too
the strom just puts everyone at ease so they will talk. slash is a regular guy.
Cool interview. Slash is pretty outspoken.
One of the realist and coolest people in rock n roll history
Top 10 interview for sure. Epic content.
Great interviewer. Very relaxed,more like a conversation.
Pretty cool interview. Love slash
It's 2022 and Slash and Axl are now back together and touring. How crazy it that?
This was an amazing interview. Informative and I enjoyed it very much. Slash has made his path on the Rock and Roll road and he has been honest about his life and if you you've not read his book, you should. I respect him and always will.
I find his interviews very interesting to listen to. He presents as a very personable, sensitive and intelligent person. From what little I know about him, it sounds as if he has been through a lot.

I admire that kind of behavior. It's very positive and I think it rubs off in a positive way on other people.
Great interview,first time seen for me.Never seen any uk interviews.🎩❤
*Damn...George has good knowledge of Hard Rock music...I appreciate that*
i really enjoyed that
FINALLY! been waiting for this forever
What a dynamic well spoken Legend!! He seems very grounded and intelligent! He made it clear that Axl is a douche without saying it too!! Congrats on your sobriety Slash!! youre a great Artist and guy!
what a great interview. strombo is great as well, class act.
Slash is just such an interesting Character with so many different interest
You're a good interviewer! You ask all the right questions!
I love slash’s story! Kinda destined to make it big and stayed humble considering his fame, success and talent.
straight to the point interview
I love how this interview doesn't mention Axl and Slash's personal difficulties other than saying "other personal stuff". Good work.
Many years ago I was studying to earn my PhD in School Psychology from Loyola in Chicago. At the time, psychologists were studying problem solving and creativity. I learned that there was no correlation between drug use and creativity- which is a really positive thing. Drugs don't increase creativity. That whole thing is just a myth that so many people buy into. They think the more drugs they take the more creative it will make them. But it just doesn't fly. I think that's what Slash was trying to communicate here.
Only Slash could walk around wearing that freaking hat and still be taken seriously. What a dude.
Once in a blue moon, we get to see a really good guitarist... But once in a lifetime, we get to see Slash... One of the most iconic if not the best guitarist the world has ever had the privilege to listen and to watch. Certainly a hero of mine and undoubtedly the man that made me look at a guitar as an art not just an instrument. An icon... A legend...

Truly deserving... I still have the "Appetite For Destructions" album on cassette tape... One of my prized possession... :)
He's Always Been Genuine :)
Slash gives an awesome interview. I don't quite care for most of G n' R, and I think Slash grew creatively when he dropped the Axl baggage.
Slash is far from burnt out - He is in the top 7 Guitarist & has the number 1 image. We love you dude
THANK YOU!
I like this interview. The interviewer talks to him like his at the hardware store.
That's awesome man.
great interview
He wears it because slash fans like to see him wear it
Good interview. I've never heard of this guy before but damn he'd done his homework.
Slash is so gorgeous inside and out. Truly.
Love you Slash :')
This interviewer is awesome! He's asked the unasked questions...thank god.
Share a birthday with him and just love him to pieces. Awesome talent and cute as a button.
