That's one of the cool things about going to local bars: seeing what people are doing and jamming with them. I'm a huge advocate of jamming with others you learn a lot. So I love to go and do that - even if people wipe the stage up with you.

I dont believe in having regrets.

I got the name Slash because I used to work in a grocery store and I was in charge of reducing prices for really big sales.

It seems like a lot of what was going on when I quit is still going on.

When I see footage of Guns N' Roses, I see that fu**ing hunger and attitude. You could not f**k with those five guys. It was just raw. It was this lean, hungry thing on its way up. It was as sincere as any rock 'n' roll that I've ever heard, and I'm proud of that.

It's not something you can find. There's a moment you arrive at --- there's no words for it. A bunch of people come together at this place where a note hits your heart and your brain tells your finger where to go. It's an otherworldly thing, like when a painter gets the right combination of colors together.

I am married and I have two kids now, and I love them all to death. So I am trying to put all that together and maintain the same pace I've been keeping. But really, I relish what we do. A year and a half sounds like a cakewalk to me.

Originally, I wanted to call the band 'Guns 'n Robots.' I still believe that if we had just called ourselves 'Guns 'n Robots' we'd still be together.

Experiencing yourself out of context, divorced from your usual point of view, skews your perspective – it’s like hearing your voice on an answering machine. It’s almost like meeting a stranger or discovering a talent you never knew you had.

I guess you could say there are two Slashes. There's the crazy, rock-and-roll Slash, he's wild. And then there's the real Slash- he collects miniature soaps and treats his hookers real nice.

It's not so much about how good a player you are, its how cool you are.

I never want to draw attention to myself, but that's all I do.

As soon as I could put together the, you know, three or four notes that made up, like, sort of a rock and roll lick, you know, like a Chuck Berry kind of thing, I was off and running. Just completely taken over.

If I ever go bald, I'll kill myself.

Risk isn't a word in my vocabulary. It's my very existence.

If I could hang out with Jimi Hendrix, it wouldn't be over dinner.

Rock n' roll is about attitude and rebellion. It's supposed to be fun and spontaneous.

I once asked Axl why he left the 'E' off his name. He started crying and said he thought he'd spelled it right.

When it comes to actually writing, I like to write in a full room with the amps blasting, and a big drum set.
