It seems excessive...but that doesn't mean it didn't happen. The mass of black curls. The top hat. The cigarette dangling from pouty lips. These are the trademarks of one of the world's greatest & most revered guitarists, a celebrity musician known by one name: Slash. Saul " Slash" Hudson was born in Hampstead to a Jewish father & a black American mother who created David Bowie's look in The Man Who Fell to Earth. He was raised in Stoke until he was 11, when he & his mother moved to LA. Frequent visitors to the house were David Bowie, Joni Mitchell, Ronnie Wood & Iggy Pop. At this time Slash got into BMX bikes & would eventually turn professional, winning major awards & money, but at 15 his grandmother gave him his first guitar. Sessions with numerous local LA rock bands followed until a fateful meeting with singer W Axl Rose...and the rest was rock history. Guns N' Roses spent two years builiding their reputation before Appetite for Destruction was unleashed on an unsuspecting world. Chart success & global domination followed but with it came the inevitable fall
- addicted to heroin, booze & cigarettes the band imploded in a rift between Axl & Slash that is as deep today as ever. But with a new wife, kids & new band Velvet Revolver, Slash is back on track. As raucous & edgy as his music, Slash sets the record straight & tells the real story as only Slash can.
