Mark, please do start the conversation, but damn boy, when Slash is talking don’t interject and interrupt him. To get this opportunity because of your new position, doesn’t mean you get to be a flunky and run at the mouth. Sit tight, ask the question, and get the fook out of the way. Thank you.
That man is the reason I love Les Pauls. Also the reason I bought a Les Paul. Never forget the first time I heard Slash I think first solo I ever heard was sweet child when I was about 12 in the late late 80s. I’ve also met Slash when he was in Velvet Revolver in 05 coolest cat I ever met. Him and Duff cool asf!!! Keep jamming all u out their chase your dreams don’t look back kids!!!
Not really cuz a lot of rock bands back then used Gibson guitars. Motley Crue , Aerosmith, Kiss,U2 , Metallica, GreenDay(the list can keep going)...just to mention a couple. But yeah since GnR was very famous ...more than any other rock band ...we can say that to a certain extend. Gibson was basically "the other side of the spectrum" on the guitar tones world. You could have any other guitar in the mix but the moment you introduce a Gibson with distortion or overdrive ...its over. 🤘🏽
It's slash, you'd probably be worse or better, or the alternative is that it's his job he has to be the big energy personality while dealing with the big energy people
Mark and Slash do well together. It's obvious that Slash likes him. Have seen tons of interviews with Slash and here he speaks like a kid in a candystore. Loved it.
Man...ladies and gentlemen when they made Slash they broke the mold. He’s been my hero since they first became known. I absolutely love that man and always have. He’s a class act!!! Me and my brother and a few buddies in the late 80s had a band and we adored GnR. RIP Danny!
Considering that Slash´s guitars are rumoured to be all made by outside luthiers,they slap then the Gibson logo on them and pretend they didn´t see nothing,that´s pretty fitting.
Don't find him annoying as such but thought he was talking over Slash quite a bit but then again I guess he only had like a 10 or 15 minute window to chat to Slash so he crammed as much questions and stuff in as he could.
Great to see this review., And I feel like a tool even mentioning this but... it would have been nice if Mark could let him finish talking before you ask him something else. I know hes prob excited but we wanted to here more from him. ask the question and let him do the magic
Remember in the 80‘s when Slash‘s tattoos looked badass. Now they look like the first tattoos you got before you had it covered with something actually cool
Play authentic means "play a halfassed replica of a reissue of a 59' with Seymour Duncan copies in it", apparently. For that money it should have gotten a real ABR-1 bridge and real Duncans, at least
in 1966 my dad was that a gig there with some new band on stage. the lead singer lit up a joint and offered it to my dad who was 18 at the time. my dad wanted to be a rockstar and decided the dude on stage seemed quite awesome so my dad took the offered treasure and toked away. the band was the doors the singer was morrison. my dad is 70 something years old now and is probably smoking as I write this. the funny thing about it is in 2007 I was at the whiskey for Slash's book signing and jam, and I was talking to Mark all night. SLASH gets up there to play and there was at least a dozen people smoking cigarettes in that tiny club so I did what I always do, lit a joint. about halfway through it I get tapped on the shoulder and thinking someone wanted a hit I turned around to share and it was mark. he threw me out of the f'n club. talk about irony LOL
Slash came to Buddy Guy's club in Chicago back in the 90's for a Jimi Hendrix tribute jam he didn't have a guitar or amp so i loaned him my Rig he was very Cool
Maybe next time the list of questions should look like this - 1. Slash, can you tell us about the guitars you are playing and why you like these for live shows? 2. Can you tell us about the amps you are using? 3. Do you mind if my camera guy shoots your face and maybe your gear?... Not necessarily in that order.
A Mohawk band-leader hired me in 1977, and years later he hunted me down because he promised me the first chance to buy his 1957 Les Paul, with the original receipt, booklet, pick, strap and case. That was a nice chance to get back together and share our sadness about selling it for personal reasons. He phoned a California agent and Slash bought it, saying it was his most important guitar. Why didn't I have a chance, or actually, not want it? I'm left-handed, playing my own Strat-style guitar. It wouldn't have been right to buy it just for the pickups. I almost did.
Dang Mark!, Pleasure to see this interview! Slash is definitely in my top 5 fav rock players with my number #1 favorite player being the gentleman on your shirt!
Perhaps, the most important thing when interviewing someone is... audio. That's correct folks, interviews are always better when you can hear what the people are saying.
,,,,,,yes,,,,,,,,,,,,wow,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,a day in the life.!......anything with slash,LA...me Agnesi.......good content......sooooo cool.😯..tnx,pat,,land o' lakes,wi.
I owned an Alpine White EDS 1275 but sold it to buy a 60th anniversary R9. Now when i see one i always feel sick to my f..ing stomach. I was so stupid. And the thing is.. It will be a LONG time before i have the cash to buy one and the Epiphone one will NOT cut it..
kudos for getting the interview. but please let your future interviewees speak. (that you already know something or can try and complete the answer isn't of interest to the viewer)
