Slash - Wikipedia: Fact or Fiction? 

botman you are probably right

amibanani yeah he does

Only because sunglasses beg to sleep with Slash.

amibanani with Kerry King

Plus 🎩

hyper biscuit LOL!! 😂 I can say I have seen his eyes. They’re brown lol

I’m Dead😂😂😂😂

For hair it says "Hat"

Don't do it man, I got interested and searched for images of slash without hat and aviators. He looks weird.

Wait..he has eyes?

Its a self conscious thing. I wear sun glasses all the time to hide behind them. Not saying that Slash does the same but he does seem like that type a dude

Sydaball no you’re right. He a pretty shy and introverted guy and he said that beginning his musical career when he’d go on stage he’d wear sunglasses to hide from the crown kind of. Now it’s just become his thing

Yes

"that must be a pretty rare thing, like ive never heard of anyone else doing that" says me whos wearing aviators watching this at 11: 30 at night in my room w no lights on

Avenged Sevenfold would definitely be there

As much as i think its gonna be an anniversary that the world is gonna remember, the new Woodstock! I just dont want to think about that day. Slash git ne to play guitar and i legit dont know what ill do if he will just one day stop making songs for me to push my limits with, and get better

That would be like 95% of rock bands and I'm being conservative

@@diegojosegonzalez so probably a 5 day concert. And I am being conservative

@@WilzeyLad they were my first thought when I read this

aahahhah

:D

mywave inwoods wait another 25 years to see his eyes \,,/

Lol. He must be balding.

I highly doubt he’s balding. He has a lot of hair. He’s a legendary long haired man. Bret Michaels is balding and wears stuff to cover its. But Slash’s hair hasn’t changed. I’m 36 with long hair and losing it scares me lol. I think I’m good tho it would of happened already.

Diego Alejandro “ did you say baGUITAR!”

thank god for that guitar teacher

Think about those advices (probably happening all the time) we will never hear about.

@Diego Alejandro I know only love cats plan bass! So nice ! 😅😅😅

Sounds like he didn’t WANT to play bass. He was relegated to the bass until the teacher steered him in the direction that he actually wanted to go. He never owned a bass.

Hey SNES drunk! Unrelated, but love your videos bro

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSNES DRUNK!

The new one is the best pinball game I've ever played

Pin ball is so up and down. Some days rock others I wanna smash the glass. I get bad potty mouth 🚽

So would he.

Especially at 8:00 !

TacomaPaul yes

I wet the bed last night.

Up the Potters!

that's so sweet!

Lemmy lived in Stoke On Trent too

love thaaat

Wholesome as hell.

And then we found the baseball cap

Slashs top hat was stolen from him. Not sure how but he said in an interview that he had it stolen. Ill try n send you the link n post it for you

@@chrisharrington4373 and then the tick that stole it from him decided to sell it on Ebay and he bought it back

I DIDN'T EVEN REALIZE HE WORE THEM ALL THE TIME

He has extra hats under his hats

Excellent observation. So why does Axl regard Slash so poorly?

Syclone0044 Because Axl is a twat.

Professional.

Tyler Hicks or maybe because you weren’t there to see what happened when the two had their falling out so you don’t know what Slash did that made Axl so mad, dumbass

@@Syclone0044 from what I heard. Slash worked with Michael Jackson (a suspected child molester) and Axl was molested by his father when he was a child

Damn you good sir, now I can't unsee it either.

+Toni Horvat Dammit

+Toni Horvat hhahaha man you killed me :')

Fuck, now i cant either

FUCK!

John van Gurp What’s so bad about Gene?

I just saw the Gene interview, and I dont know what to think other than separate the art from the artist. He is 50% asshole and 50% tolerable

@@LeftHookLegend he's a self centered, egotistical asshole who thinks he is the best thing to ever happen to humanity

@@LeftHookLegend He's a total douchecanoe.

Nolan Nez Yea I figured it out that same day😂. But I love the guy tho.

Right? I'm only 20 and not even close to being in that good of shape! So kudos to slash for keeping in shape.

I heard he used steroids

nahh

lol no. @Jedi Mercury

Can we just appreciate steroids for older gentlemen

November Rain music video shows his eyes briefly during the first solo.

Just google it lol :D

I've never seen Joey Ramone's eyes.

+Ballbreaker 2112 it might be better that you don't. Don't get me wrong, I love the Ramones. However Joey looks like Howard stern with downs.

Usually when someone always wears shades they look weird without them but not Slash , he looks good with or without. But Slash without the top hat is strange lol .

Ta gueule please ta gueule

Chris Redig Ferme la tienne plutôt

And rock n roll baby \m/

and fingers

You are definitely forgetting talent.

Slash Mr Potatohead

When I was a kid and sweet child would play on MTV(back when they use to play music on that channel ) I remember that I always thought Slash was a guy wearing a mask or something lol. Just the way my young brain scrambled it up for me lol. Couldn't take my eyes off of that video though. I knew something was great about it. Even at 6yrs old

it surely is on mine

69th like

Love Slash, hate Axel

Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

@Izzy Why not just love Axl, love Slash?

@Izzy you are fake fan

and will die with glasses

Dj solarsys but legends never die

@@myballsin4kultrahd278 well his persona as an artist and music will live forever but not as a human like the rest of us ya dig?

Not r/whoosh, but I think the reason why he wears shades so often is because he is so used to it because of the lights on stage that he just leaves them on.

Yes

Yes actually he is, since GnR time...he is a mellow kind of guy, he seldom react and he seldom talks...

He was also very self-conscious about his racial identity when he was younger. Nobody should ever feel ashamed of who they are or be put in a box of expectations for it. I'm sure many black rock-n-roll artists (Phil Lynott, Prince, Lenny Kravitz, Jimi Hendrix, Doug Pinnick from King's X, Bad Brains, Fishbone, Living Colour) all got crap from both sides for simply being who they want to be.

​@Inside Barry's Mind no in his autobiography he said it was because he is shy.

Wait till you read his Autobiography.

Oh, he did... he did.. 😂

@Troy Staunton Dave and Courtney are not friends. Don't fool yourself.

I can do that on my own. Poison has got to be the most horrible band in rock history

@@roxannemoser Exactly. Fortunately, GN´R was raw and real, not like those assholes

What great place to be at just the right time. I love to hear great artists pay homage to other great artists by covering their songs.

+Roy Martin From what I have heard by people in the music industry he is supposed to be down to earth and mellow.

+Ynffy likewise. I'm no guitar hero or rock star but growing up here in San Diego County, being so close to LA and the LA music scene. the bands I've been in the past, past bandmates have known him or met him and that seems to be the consensus. Have a great holiday dude.

Yes very much so 😊

Yep, I've heard the same across the board. Seems like a great guy to be friends with.

+Roy Martin Slash is after all a pretty shy guy by his own account. He's also mentioned that he doesn't have that many people he would call friends but rather many acquaintances and people he likes working with. I'm guessing that plays a part in him remaining down to earth.

that was true

Doctor Alibi probably

Gary V dr feel good

Same one as Michael Jackson tbh

+GuitarInferno Then again, the dude's wearing sunglasses. But yeah he doesn't look that old.

His hair says yes, his beard stubble says no.

Hes invincible

Sorry but how can you tell?

no he doesn't

And who is 77 likes??

A lot of guitarists gain muscle when they are constantly strumming and holding heavy guitars like a Les Paul

@@fatboydashredder9877 Except Jimmy Page

@@fatboydashredder9877 to an extent, they just workout. Holding a guitar won’t get your arms that big

@Joey Punk Punk +Che ?

@Joey Punk didn't have much to say, just felt like highlighting those two words

@Joey Punk it's that time of the month for me

@Joey Punk I hate moccasins so damn much they associate with unique smell of your peach fuzzy mustached russian neighbour

@Joey Punk I am alright I swear

two different definitions of the words

This is true, but compared to a sequinned leotard it's pretty low-key :-P

He deff laid back

Don't hate

That's how I dress. Wym

Ich bins Danke - G

My thoughts exactly! He did not interrupt the interviewee as some others do, he was sufficient in whatever Slash was talking about, and the conversation between the two was sincere. Awesome job! And to think, when he was in kindergarten, Slash was doing world tours!

That is a good point. The interviewer is relaxed and makes the whole thing like a lunch conversation with a cousin. Nice comment.

I agree! I noticed slash responds so much better and has more insightful interviews when the person interviewing him is like this guy... Well done mate!

+Ich bins hheEHehehEHEHehEHEH gO tO tRuThConTestcOm< Read thE pREseNt

Plus he figured out that once he had the pacemaker he could do as much oxy as he wanted because should he OD, the pacemaker would just restart him. He actually burned through one or two of them due to "frequent use".

+Rhythmista haha because he wouldnt dye his hair blonde haha

+Rhythmista Poison got big a few years before GnR; I wonder if her regretted that decision at the time.

haha never would have regretted it haha

:)

+Eric Hanaway Why would Slash ever regret not joining Poison? GnR was the biggest rock band in the world during their peak. They sold out every stadium across seas. Poison never reached that status.

Mannibal Lector What a delightful cause of death that would be.

How can you like partying but not like guns and roses? Does not compute

I never payed attention but your right! He only had a higher voice during the early GnR days

@@dolantho He sounds like he's in high-school in 80s

Right he was respectful to Slash, and didnt try to lead him down any rabbit holes. I gotta give the man credit where its due! Knucks dude!!

Speaking from personal experience with Slash I can tell you that he is exactly the way you see him in this interview. He's extremely mellow and incredibly humble. When I was first introduced to him I was scared to death but after spending time with him and his family I truly felt honored to call him my friend. He hosted an event for me at his house and it was amazing!! His father, Tony is incredible as well. I have some awesome pictures from my time in Los Angeles with him. I should make a video to share my wonderful memories with all of his fans. He's one of the smartest people I have ever met. His passion for animals is so important to him. Especially, Billy the elephant. We went to the LA Zoo for an interview and to see him interact with the elephant was truly breathtaking. I am so glad that you recognized how truly down to earth he is. He loves coffee!! I guess you can tell in this interview:-). Just thought I'd share my experience with this amazing human. 😊

@@KarenPerryMusic fiction

Omar Rojo he is a big guy

During 2010- basically now he has bulked the fuck up! Especially during the early 2010's he was huge!!!! Seriously look up videos. I saw him in 2011,2012,2013,2014, 2015,2016 and he was like built up.

I thought so too

Zakk got em all on roids

@@adamwilson8561 Probably right on that lol.

Elric D'André Alarie lucky u I'd love to c slash

He's invincible!

Pun intended 😂😂

😂😂😂😂 im dead

he already did pretty much before his heart operation, read his book.

Lemmy was too.

Ace Frehley too

joe perry as well

Alice Cooper is pretty cool

Gooood question, im an outside the box/random as hell thinker as well, so high five for that one. I mean if you seriously contemplate that scenario, the results could have been, wow kinda blew my mind lol good job dude aha!!👍🏼

Axl was basically kicked out of the rock and roll community. That says something when stupid dicks think somebody else is such a stupid dick that they don't want to work with them.

But he thanks the Security.

***** Thank you! - G

***** Blame the engineer (if there IS one). The host should NEVER be louder than the guest, even if the guest is soft-spoken. The engineer's job is to make their voices level.

SLASH MUMBLES HARD TO HEAR.

Zidders Roofurry Slash is naturally soft spoken. In other interviews with level sound he’s still really quiet. He’s shy, hence the glasses, the hat & his hair in his face. ☺️

Dorsae I thought so to his face says hard Binge he is drinking or using or just coming off something I think

patrick enriquez that means he’s ripped, big muscles

Iced im ur pusher

HeHoZy HAIL GRUHAMMED

It's gromit right?

Along with the worst name in the world..

No, Tidus Sloan was the first band of Slash indeed. He says it in his book.

but maybe that name was inspired by "titus alone"

+Josh Kesselman, Obviously Clara didn't watch the interview. Thanks, Josh, I was wracking my brain trying to figure out what it could've been. I was even trying to figure if it could've been 'tight as. . .'. =)

@@sweetbitter2 and now we know you didn't bother to watch or listen. 🙄

Damn, that might be it! I've been sitting here trying to think of what the guy could have been talking about or saying for Slash to have heard "Titus Sloan".

Jesus Christ that’s a weird comment

Brandon Ward I can never understand Angus talk. Maybe this time, let him bring his guitar in hahaha

Yeah i wanna hear him say guitaaaaaaaa 😁..... Anyway love Angus......

Better off with Brian Johnson because Angus isn’t a big talker.

jvoz613 and yet he still managed to write multiple songs that are widely considered as legendary in Rock N Roll History

Stratomies niin saatanasti Same here

LPS IITU ja linnea videot and youre humble too

@LPS IITU ja linnea videot That you're not humble lol

I wouldn't say 5 years is an only. I've been playing for 2 years and I can easily play almost all of his GnR solos, and that's less than half of 5. The songwriting abilities people develop after 5 years of good practice are probably pretty great. Plus he's definitely got natural talent.
