More quotes by Slash
It seems like a lot of what was going on when I quit is still going on.
Slash
Axl and I came from completely different backgrounds. Because of that we made an interesting pair trying to figure each other out.
Slash
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.
Slash
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.
Slash
Whenever society gets too stifling and the rules too complex, there's some sort of musical explosion.
Slash
I always loved rock guitar. I just never put it together that that's what I'd end up doing.
Slash
I once asked Axl why he left the 'E' off his name. He started crying and said he thought he'd spelled it right.
Slash
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.
Slash
I don't physically put Appetite For Destruction in and listen to it, but I hear it on the radio or at sporting events or wherever else it pops up, and it's great. I dig everything about it. When I hear Appetite, it sounds like exactly what it was. It sounds like a record made by an angry bunch of kids.
Slash
If I ever go bald, I'll kill myself.
Slash
My dad is a huge rock and roll lead guitar fan. I didn't even really know that until recently. Everything has to have a guitar solo in it.
Slash
[the best advice about women] was from Robert Evans. The line was in his book, but he told me, When it comes to a woman's mind, I know nothing.
Slash
Rock n' roll is about attitude and rebellion. It's supposed to be fun and spontaneous.
Slash
The era itself has nothing to do with anything. We weren't really attached to that at all. I just saw this thing where they had a Poison concert on VH1, and to me, that is being attached to an era.
Slash
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.
Slash
When we weren't being transcendent we specialized in self-inflicted disaster.
Slash
One time we played a concert in Antwerp, Belgium. At least I thought it was Antwerp, Belgium. Turns out it was a Stop 'n Shop in Wisconsin somewhere, but it was fun man.
Slash
I love playing music as much as if not more so than I did when I was 19 that compared to most of my peers is pretty surprising. I wake up every day and get really excited about doing stuff that I have been doing for the last 30 years. I just love it.
Slash
Risk isn't a word in my vocabulary. It's my very existence.
Slash
I dont believe in having regrets.
Slash
