When velvet revolver was asked by classic rock magazine to do an article on their fav artists slash picked Aerosmith. He isnt a fan of late 80s forward Aerosmith though.

    In 1988 I saw that guitar for sale at Dixie Guitars in Atlanta. The price was $10,000.00 and it was on hold. I asked Tut Campbell who was buying it and he said "the guitar from that new band Guns And Roses". I saw them (GNR) about a month later on the American Music Awards and Slash was playing that guitar.

      It is worth what a collector will pay. It isn't worth a million as an instrument. If you want one , and they are great,
      you dint have to have one owned by a famous person. There is a very good possibility you can find one that sounds / plays better not owned by a celebrity and pay far less than a million .
      I held the Peter Green/ Gary Moore burst in my hands and a friend played it for a few songs.
      The reports I got back by a few that played it were not so good. And these were people that have played more bursts than most people.

I held it but did not play it. My friend did. He was unpressed with its sound and playability. I own one and have been told many times by good players that have played many people. They tell me mine is on of the best. So you want a good one or a famous one. Here is mine being played by J D Simo.

    When GNR was new on the scene I liked their music but didn't like their image especially Slash. I remember a few pictures of Slash holding Jack Daniels bottles like he's drinking shots right out of the bottle. I said to myself what a waste, some long hair trying to look bad with a bottle. Then I heard him in a radio interview many years later and he came across as a genuine and well spoken person. It continues today. Of course I don't know him personally but he seems to be a good guy. Just goes to show you that you can't always judge a person by just looking at a few pictures of their show business image.

      You shouldn't judge people on drug usage or alcohol drinking anyway. Chances are they're a better person than you. In fact Stevie Ray Vaughan was on many substances before he got clean and he was still the same genuine respectful Texan with or without drugs. One of the nicest people to have ever walked this planet. It's not "you can't always judge a person" it should be "you should never judge a person". Just think about it, do some self reflection and stop judging people because their lifestyle isn't exactly the same as yours.

And by the way, there's nothing equivocal or interpretational about humour "working" for me and others. It works for me [period] - there was nothing "juvenile" about a wonderfully evocative play of words on the size of his heart AND at that point the story was over...so the moment you say he ruined was past. The point at which he *could* have ruined it? Guess what - he called Slash one of the nicest guys around. You're wrong on many levels here I'm finding.

      Not likely, man. 1959 Les Pauls are rare, to the point that they are nicknamed "The Holy Grail of Guitars." There's not many around and even one that's not in the best shape will cost around 100K. Sure, there's a lot of musicians who have the money to own several, but the thing is that people who own these, like Slash in Joe Perry's story, usually don't want to sell them.

    Well, this is rock'n'roll. I think that Slash really knows what it means to a guitarist to sell his special guitar. This special guitar that makes it so easy and naturally to play. What a gesture from excellent guitarist to th other!

    Slash has always been a class act. This solidifies it.

    A rich person giving another rich person a gift only rich people can afford. What a heartwarming story!

    The irony of Joe's statement about Slash's heart is that he had developed cardiomyopathy, a heart disease of enlargement of the heart, from years of heavy drinking/smoking/drugs, and was given between 6 days and six weeks to live. This was after he left Guns and was on the road with Snakepit. Miraculously, his heart healed after he left the hospital and changed his way of living (for a time). He still, as I understand it, has the built-in defibrillator in his chest.
