- The Slash Story. This week, we're doing a deep dive into the life, career, and enduring legacy of Slash. He co-founded Guns N' Roses and helped define the sound of hard rock. Renowned for his bluesy playing style - the music world has been influenced by his iconic riffs and solos. Slash has touched countless lives, including those of his peers (and collaborators) such as Axl Rose, Duff McKagan, Izzy Stradlin and many others. Join me in taking a look back at the career of one of the most influential rock guitarists ever.

I appreciate that Slash never went flashy in an era that was all about flashy. Dude has so much feel.
So much feel and so much honesty and who's playing
Why can't people just leave Slash alone, all he wants to do is play music for people that really appreciate him!
🤘😎🤘
Slash has always been my favorite part of GNR. Axl definitely had his place and I love his vocals, but Slash is just special. He's so cool and seems so down to earth
Exactly - he was really the balancing force of that band
early my Sr. HS year (class of '88), a friend of mine played me Appetite shortly after the album was released. we had just endured 5-6 years where new wave and hair metal dominated mainstream. never could get into it and was still listening to my parent 60s and 70s music. i also started playing guitar in the late 70s so my focus was on classic rock. but then came GnR who brought back the 70s sound with a new grungy edge. we called it raunch rock. by the time Appetitie was hitting the charts, we had already wore that record out. i also discovered Janes Addiction and RHCP shortly after GnR. It was a rebirth of rock that opened up mainstream to grunge. i finally got to see GnR in June '91. They played 3 hours 45 minutes without a break and would have played longer had the Greensboro Coliseum not turned them off at 2AM. later that AM, I had a summer school presentation to make and recall not being able to hear myself talk.
Absolutely right - that's interesting you bring that up, because in a way GNR were part of the spark that kicked off the grunge movement. And it makes sense.... For one thing they blended punk influences in. Almost like how Van Halen saved us from disco prior, guns n' roses pulled us out of that glitzy pop glam slump.
for your next video can you please do how Rock artists inspire and influence by Bob Marley.
alex
@@guitarmeetssciencethat's right. I absolutely hate it when people try to lump GNR in with the hair metal bands. Yeah I know they came up on the strip alongside a lot of those bands but they were the antithesis of hair metal, and without GNR there never would have been a Nirvana. You can't get more alternative than Welcome to the Jungle when that video hit Mtv.
I assume you see them at Inglewood what a lucky bastard you are
i ran into slash at universal studios when i was on my bachelor party at horror nights, wasn't able to get a picture cuz he said he didn't want a line to form but he was nice and told us to have a nice night, cool guy
What year was that? (I work at USH).
Very cool!
Slash taught my second cousin guitar lesson, slash is a great guitarist, I saw G&R last year in Fenway Park, they nailed it, I was very impressed!!!!
Very very cool 🤘🤘
how much it cost to have guitar lessons with slash? was long time ago or he was already famous
@@matt-SonsofLamech it was Michael Liberty boy , liberty did business in California
Patience and I Used To Love Her were the 2 best songs on the Lies album. Appetite was definitely their best album, but Use Your Illusion I and II were freaking great too. Slash is a king ❤
Slash's still as shy as he was as a youngster. Sooo cute❣️
Slash is awesome!
🤘😎🤘
Gilby Clark went on to play for Ann and Nancy Wilson. i met them at the PETRO truck stop near Roanoke Virginia in Febuary of 2001. It was about 1am, they had just played Roanoke. they were sober, very friendly and in happy spirits. it was great to meet musicians who didnt let fame ruin their talent or their social skills.
Very cool! Thanks for sharing that! 🤘🤘
Love slash, I also love buckethead, never understood why fans would choose one over the other. I love how unique and similar they are.
You're right - both are awesome!
These videos are awesome. This is quickly becoming my favorite RUclips channel. Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much!! I really appreciate your kind words! 🤘😎🤘
I love slash what a great show men
🤘😎🤘 always great to meet a fellow slash fan
Slash rules!
🤘😎🤘
That particular Riff eventually used in Sweet Child Of Mine was a mere warm up riff.
Goofing off Slash wanted to create a festive carnival type sound and again it was only warm up.
Once Izzy and Axl heard it they ran with it.
That’s what amazed Slash when it was a silly warm up riff in his eyes.
This is so well done, the writing and editing r just excellent. 👏👏👏
Thank you Johnny - that means a lot man 🤘🤘
@@guitarmeetsscience how long did all the research take?
Great deep dive!!! 🤘
Thank you Steve I appreciate it brother 🤘🤘
I was 12 and a budding guitarist when Appetite came out. I had this crappy pawn shop special guitar from the 60’s and I wanted to be Slash and get a Les Paul. I finally got one after working my ass off on the farm I grew up on all summer.
The Les Paul he used on Appetite and seen on the Welcome to the Jungle video wasn't a Gibson.
Pretty damn cool story!
@@TheRealcdawg22
I didn’t know that. My teacher told me about the used Les Paul I got from the music store I took lessons at. I fell in love with it the first time I saw it. It was built in 1978. Someone had put a Kahler on it with a locking nut. I had that removed years later. I had Zakk Wylde sign it on the back. I will never get rid of that guitar. I still play it every day and on stage.
@guitarmeetsscience Yeah, I don't remember what brand the copy was, but Gibson and Epiphone made SLASH signature models based on the look of his original (unoriginal) copy.
Since then, there have been more Slash signature models designed the way Slash wanted them. He has a bunch of Gibsons now. I am sure. There must be someone out there who has a better or more complete grasp of the story behind Slash's guitars than I do.
I have always wondered about that red Mockingbird he played in the "You Could Be Mine" video from the Terminator II sountrack and on one of the Use Your Illusion albums. I assume it was a BC Rich, but I don't know anything about it.
As far as amps go, I am aware that Slash likes and uses the Marshall Silver Jubilee. I got a good look at them one time when I saw Velvet Revolver.
He also uses a Dunlop Rackmount Crybaby unit that I think he has 4 - 6 rocker/treadle units spread around at different points on the stage that are connected to the rackmount unit.
Slash also likes Alnico II magnets in his pickups with just a slightly overwound coil at the bridge. Not aggressively overwound, as one might assume. I believe he has a Signature set with Seymour Duncan.
That's all the info that I remember about Slash. Surely, someone out there can fill it out even more.
@jamesmccormick875 That's cool! I'd love to hear more about your guitar. Just yesterday, I was telling my son the story of how/when I got Chris Cornell and Tom Morello to sign one of my guitars. It's a Hamer Double Cut (Korean) with an amber colored flamed maple top. It is very pretty. I call it Amber. I have several Les Paul double cut guitars. It's kinda my thang. I have several Hamers, some Gibsons, Epiphones, and others. I have several single-cut Les Pauls also and a bunch of other stuff.
This is amazing. Very well done
Thanks Frank - I appreciate it bud 🤘😎🤘
Really well done video. I was running around crazy in L.A. back in the early '80s and all through the decade until '95. Working with friends bands and at S.I.R. studios as stage manager during the day and doing concert lighting at night. Hanging out at the Rainbow all the time, Canter's, Bordners, the Central which became the Viper Room, my best friends were all in working bands, I was a doorman at a strip club for four years, became estate manager for Roseanne Barr, followed around by paparazzi, ended up in tabloids, then in '95 moved to NorCal to be anonymous. It kinda worked. I didn't tell people about my past and friends but they'd come over to my house and see photos and backstage passes collection and they always wondered how I got passes for almost any concert that I went to. Then found myself hanging out with very well known rock stars and dating ex wife of a well known guitar player and when I moved back to LA in 2012 i started hanging out with a girl friend of mine i've known since kindergarten and she had just finished working as Slash's personal assistant for the last 12 or 13 years. We had been running around in the same circles in LA and Bay Area knew the same people but somehow never ran into each other . So weird.
Anyways great video. Really well done
Man - you've got some cool stories! I appreciate you sharing that, and I think it's going to be a great read for folks arriving here in the comment section. And also thank you for the kind words, from somebody who's been on the scene that is truly a huge compliment. I really do appreciate it!
@@guitarmeetsscience --- thanks for taking the time to reply and for the kind words.
I gave the brief story, not dropping a whole bunch of names and a lot the wild life I lived and still live. Hahahaha I've had a lot of people tell me I should write a book or record an interview telling about my life. Sometimes I agree and sometimes I think no one would be interested in my stories. Hahahahaha
@13_13k You definitely should - if you have enough first hand accounts there are always people out there who will eat stories up like that.
We used to have so much fin dancing to GNR when I was in Middle School 💜💃They had the best energy!
They absolutely did! Love some GNR 🤘🤘
I stole my older sister's GnR cds- appettite and both illusions- no regrets! Thanks, sis- one of the greatest bands ever ❤ 🤘
Bte- this was back in the 1900s- God bless my big sister, also introduced me to Danzig and Tool- mom was already a KISS fan, so I was dealt a good hand. Plus, Motorhead 🖤
Oh yes the age of cassettes. That is awesome! We did some trading in our day too!
Bought Slash a beer and a shot in Honolulu at Gussie Lamores after 1st tour Snakepit show. He was very cool and approachable. Might have been stoned LOL
Pretty cool story - no doubt he might have been lol
When I first heard the intro of Sweet Child of Mine, I at once fell in love with the guitar-sound. From loving the guitar-sound to loving the guitar-player it was only a very short hop. And I love him still, after all these years. ❤
That is awesome you found inspiration there. Sweet child is a great tune and slash's playing on it is incredible.
I love that they brought up Axl being late all the time. When I went to see Guns & Roses on the Use Your Illusion tour, Skid Row opened up, and it wasn't till almost 2.5 hours before Guns finally decided to show up. Axl made a bunch of excuses as to why, but in my honest opinion, Skid Row could have played longer, OR they could have had another opening band. Whatever the reason, Axl finally brought up that they're used to rehearsing late at night and wanted to give us the best show possible. A year later, I met Slash, and I have to say he really was the coolest dude.
Very cool experience aside from the late part! And it turns out slash is really big on punctuality - so it must have drove him nuts too.
Was that at the Alpine Valley gig or did they just do that so the time?
@@TwistOfFate444 This happened at the Nassau Coliseum on Long Island, NY, in, I believe, 1991. Great show, even though they showed up about 2.5 hours later than they should have. Skid Row could have played another set, OR they could have had a 2nd warm-up band.
I saw that same tour in Denver and Skid Row blew them Off the stage. This was the first concert I ever saw TV’s all around the stage with the lyrics scrolling across the screen for Axl. I Lost any and all respect
I had for him at that point. Who can’t remember the lyrics to their own songs? They had one of the greatest debut albums of all time with appetite and sucked hind tit after that.
I love Slash's new album it is great.
It is definitely great - The Brian Johnson track really surprised me. Never heard his voice tamed down like that lol
What a fantastic video have a wonderful day Jimmy also how was your weekend ❤😊
Thank you Amin! It was a wonderful weekend and I hope yours was too! 🤘😎🤘🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
@@guitarmeetsscience it was okay I went to a wedding on Saturday
Interesting Dude !!!
🤘🤘
I'm with Izzy, without Steven Adler GNR lost their swing/groove and became a parody of their former selves, but at least they gave us 'Live ?!★@ Like A Suicide' , 'Appetite' and 'Lies'
Absolutely right on!
Screw James Brown. THIS is the hardest working man in showbiz.
He is definitely hardworking!
When you blew your amp out playing guns n' roses, now you're like what the heck did I do back then.
Hahaha Do I remember the days lol
Great video 👍
Thanks so much 🤘🤘
Slash kicks major ass with his guitar play my sons favorite but hey you kick some major ass with your shreds amazing job outstanding video BTW my tuxedo Stimpy cat has passed away he passed in his sleep no suffering but broke my heart and grieving him 😢 💔🙏🏻🐈⬛🌈 love this info. 🤘😻👌💙 big thumbs up 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
Hi Trish!!! I am so sorry to hear about Stimpy! My heartfelt condolences.... He was one pawsome dude! Thank you for the kind words - Slash is such a huge influence. Thank you so much for stopping by and for giving me the news. RIP Stimpy 🤘😸🤘 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
for your next video can you please do how Rock artists inspire and influence by Bob Marley.
Sorry for your loss😿
Tuxedos are very special cats
Love them
@@wilmathewisp8252 you are so right they are very special thank you so much x o
@@guitarmeetsscience hello thanks so much i have been here so many times leaving comments but never hearing from you so i figured youtube was hiding my comments i was surprized you got this one Stimpy was a fan of yours so i wanted you to know the king of Caturday mayhem and Tomcat foolery had passed away i miss him so much he was everything to me loved your video on Slash he is amazing thanks so much x o x o 😢💔🙏🐈⬛🌈🎸🎸🎸🎸
Great band
Great video love your stuff the whole story of appetite is interesting it only sold 200k by the end of 87 and the label declared it a dead album and then the real story maybe look into it it is a really great story of one in a million chance and some how won on a Sunday morning at 3 a.m maybe it would be a good video
Thank you so much - definitely a great story behind that one!
Love This !! Glad You did This,I'm gonna Skip To Velvet Revolver, Dam They Rocked,About a Year ago I Couldn't find my VR CD,Found One for 5 bucks at a Used Record Store, So Glad Slash didn't go With Poison, Make Up Doesn't Suit Slash,CCYes😂,I Watched the Documentary on The Guys Looking for a Singer,I Love This as I Am a Die Hard Guns Fan,Being fortunate enough To Meet them,If Only for a Few,I Will treasure my Pick Forever,These are Great Jimmy, All of Them,On to The Next,You Freakin Rock !!! I Think In Slashes Book I read Something About Michael Jackson asked Why He didn't Wear His Hat and Slash was like I Forgot It,Kinda bummed Michael Out,Either Way Hes a Great Player and So Are You🎸💯🎸💯
Thank you Rebel!! You know your stuff when it comes to rock - It would have been funny imagining him playing in poison - that would have been short-lived for sure. Michael Jackson, I could totally see that because the top hat is so synonymous with slash's look, and Michael was always very strong about appearances. Still though, it was a pretty cool partnership they had. / Is indeed probably the hardest working guitar player out there right now. Thanks so much I appreciate it Rebel!!! 🤘😎🤘🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
Rock &Roll !
🤘🤘
good video, though i found his story with Myles Kennedy completely omitted. I remember enjoying Kennedy's vocals similar to Axl's style in old GNR songs in absence of GNR at that time ))
Thanks man so true - I did not cover Kennedy whatsoever. I actually thought that it would work better on its own. So much there.
Slash is so good looking in that picture 📸
I loved AFD ,LIES and the use your illusion albums I used to listen to as a teen but SI didn't really do it for me and by that time grunge was on the rise with bands like Nirvana ,SG ,Alice in chains ,RHCP which I started listening to although Nirvana didn't really like GNR ,I could still appreciate what both bands were trying to accomplish ,GNR wanted the hard rock ,bluesy and velvet overtones while Kurt and co. Wanted fast punk ,heavy bass and a lot of distortion and mind bending licks similar to what slash plays ,I admire both Slash and Kurt for that type of playing
Matt is a badddd 🎉🎉 duff was the badest dresser . Slash is slash😊
Went to high-school with Lenny Kravitz? Did not know that. Smarter every day.
Right? It blew my mind too - I remember the collab of course, because that's one of my favorite songs always on the run - but I didn't realize their connection went much further back.
Everyone is glad Slash never ended up in a Poodle Band, a pretty boy fem band or Hair band.
Guns was the perfect fit for Slash and he went on to develop his very own look and personal brand. Top Hat and sunglasses.
Exactly - slash is such a great player though, Bret Michaels was on to it - the rest of the band not so much.
Beverly Hills High, sounds like he really struggled growing up. Ever notice how many musicians that find amazing fame, have parents in the Government or high ranking Military!?
Not military necessarily, but generally affluent - and the parents provided a good deal of support for successful players like Slash. For the rest of us toiling at the bottom, for myself anyway, I just ignore all that crap. Get good at something, do it well, and let the BS hit the tabloids.
I remember buying the original AFD lp in August '87, the one with the banned cover. I was in the record store buying old Misfits bootlegs, loved the cover, and the store owner mentioned that the music sounded like "'70s Aerosmith and The Cult on steroids, but ramped up to 11." It was an instant buy, by then no-one knew who they were until MTV played that iconic Live at The Ritz show in February '88. I distinctly remember they blew up huge after that gig.
Ha that analogy is perfect! '70s Aerosmith and the cult on steroids but ramped up to 11.... Nailed it!
The "live era" 2 CD collection is a gem, covering the music of AFD, Lies and Illusions 1& 2. Give it a listen if you have a chance.
So that's how Axl invited a riot ,security's fault tho 😅
🤣🤣🤣 The bands hate security as much as the audience do
We love Slash just leave him alone
@@ladonnatartoni9339 exactly leave him the hell of alone and just quit messing with him already 🤬
❤❤❤❤❤
🥰Serdecznie dziękuję 🥰
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Not a word about Miles Kenny and the conspirators?? Seriously?? What about those amazing albums??
Absolutely amazing - I only mentioned them in passing due to time constraints - they deserve their own video believe me.
I saw Velvet Revolver open for Black Sabbath in Prague, CZ in 2005. I don't remember being too blown away. Black Sabbath gave us about 60 minutes and one encore. It felt like their last hurrah. Still happy I caught them one last time. The last time had been when Van Halen opened for them in my beautiful San Diego, CA on Dec. 6, 1979. That show was quite a trainwreck for Black Sabbath: equipment failures, burned out legends. VH killed them that night.
Oh I can imagine - Van Halen was on fire back in those days
I loved Velvet Revolver. I saw them in Oklahoma City.
I've seen Guns and Roses also back in the early 90s. I think that it was the Use Your Illusion tour. Matt Sorrum was the drummer.
Slash made a guest appearance at one of the Alter Bridge shows I saw. He came up onstage and played a song with the band (Mark, Myles, Brian, and Scott). "Rise Today" if I remember correctly. Miles Kennedy is also the vocalist/guitarist for Slash's band, Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators.
Literally true,Alex was doing the flaming drumsticks on that tour with Sabbath and Ozzie was on his way to getting canned
my Favourite International Band Ever!, enjoyed Eastern Creek 92!, Use Your Illusion Tour?, however, when they were maybe/ probably sharing groupies!, back in 83?, i just had my eye on 1 girl?, in my class!, Never Happened!.
I definitely don't doubt it when it comes to the groupies. Those were crazy times back then lol. Thanks for that comment! 🤘🤘
Amen about michael jackson because he was so in he couldn't ever be out.
Exactly right - he was in deep. Turns out he died with a whole lot of debt as well. I just learned that.
He's been able to make a career out of the same old lead lines over and over. I'll never understand it.
@@Krullmatic Yes he has - and damn he has made a killing!
I ❤ him
Thank you very much GOD bless Everyone Philadelphia USA 🇺🇸 Nostrovia 🎉🎉🎉
I've always thought the part in November rain with slash out in the desert was stolen from aerosmith video Angel with Joe perry out on a road in the desert.
@@dianesaienni5466 It is definitely possible, I'm not sure who was involved with the production but often bands were also sharing staff and crew. It could have been as easily as somebody saying - Hey we did that Aerosmith shoot and it worked out pretty well let's try something like that here. Nevertheless, it definitely worked well for slash and GNR. Truly a standout moment.
And arising from the rubble and ash of the LA scene. Kenny G
🤣 The hasselhoff of the music scene
7:50 I don't think that's right (for Sweet Child o mine). I heard Slash say the lick was something he'd do for practice / as an exercise since it jumped strings a certain way and then he finally merged it to a song
It’s not an excersise he said it was supposed to be some sort of circus melody if you look on the guitar center interview he did and so axel heard them so then he added lyrics to that thus creating that song
@@albertsanchez1492 you think theres one right answer? have you read slashs books?
No I have not but that’s just what I’ve heard from interviews
Lies, the last album with Adler.... didn't he do drums on Civil War?
Yes he did - I covered that as well in this video. Especially the fact that that one song is evidence of how different the groove got when they added Matt into the mix. But in terms of the actual last full album, yeah that was lies.
My birthday march 20th is a day that lots of shit happening should of just had a year tour slash and no more
Interesting, watch it to the end, but no mention of Slash's hat.
Well you're not supposed to skip the beginnings of videos or you miss all the best parts
What's the first clip in the video of Slash in red boxer shorts and no pants?
That's just a clip of him goofing around at the airport 🤘🤣🤘
@@guitarmeetsscience Okay thanks. I was wondering if it was him using a walker or he had back surgery or something crazy. I watched it on quarter speed like a dozen times trying to figure it out.
@dranklive1522 oh yeah no he was fine.... He was just clowning around. Probably just keeping sane on the road lol
🏴☠🏴☠🏴☠🏴☠🏴☠

Dude,are you the voice of Beavis?
Shuddup dum**ss....it's Butthead. If you ever call me Beavis again I'll smack u in the nutz. Besides ..Beavis will never score.
for your next video can you please do how Rock artists inspire and influence by Bob Marley.
Thank you for the suggestion!
The most unstable less lead singer? Try misunderstood. Axl is the best lead vocalist of our time.
I'm not a really a fan of Slash after reading his biography.
Why
I seen the mighty Zeppelin in "77" my senior year, ☮️
Oh that is awesome - they had to have been incredible live
Let’s face it as far as guitar players go/is OK not fantastic, has a good sound and played in a good band that’s it. Among top guitarist he is just OK not worth all the hype.
Slash with Beth Hart?! WHAT!! PLEASE, TAKE MY MONEY NOW! BETH IS THE GREATEST FEMALE VOCAL GENIUS ON EARTH!
Beth is absolutely insane - especially when she kicks into those raspy screams.... Bluesy is all hell.
And Adriana has regretted it ever since. She was drunk and coerced.
He used to sell Coke out of a new stand on Fairfax Melrose
..... Crazy times
cool story bro, to bad you made that up.
sweet child o mine is a rip off from another band on the geffin label. Australian Crawl's unpublished critics (1981)
There's a cool fun fact Thank you for that
@@guitarmeetsscience listen to them on youtube there's a few clips of it
3 GREATEST ARMS IN JEWISH HISTORY.......DAVID (Who slayed Goliath), SANDY KOFAX (Dodger pitcher called THE LEFT ARM OF GOD) AND SLASH (FOR HIS GUITAR WORK)!!!!!!!
Slash is a good guitarist unfortunate for him bands make rock and roll obnoxious guns n' roses all right axle he's obnoxious he had to get his ass kicked all the time he's on stage he's a screamer, nothing else
Axl Rose definitely is a character to say the least....
