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.
