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.
Slash
Image
A lot of vices that I've had over the years were always to make up for some sort of character deficiency, one of them being shyness.
Slash
Image
Axl [Rose] is not the type of person to make something up. So I was sort of shocked that he went that direction. That caused me a lot of problems.
Slash

If you were a kid and you wanted to come out and make a statement now, you'd have to really dig deep to find something that no one has exposed already.
Slash
Image
Guitars are like women. You'll never get them totally right.

Restlessness is a fickle catalyst it can drive you to achieve or it can coax your demise, and sometimes the choice isn't yours
Slash
Image
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
Image
Risk isn't a word in my vocabulary. It's my very existence.
Slash
Image
I was the one that allegedly quit and joined my old band. That wasn't true. But it was said so matter-of-factly on the Internet that the guys weren't really sure what I was up to.
Slash
Image
I've been on the road for so long that it's a part of my being. Even after all these years, I love playing. I love recording. I love writing. I love rehearsing. I love touring. I love all that stuff.
Slash
Image
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
Image
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
Image
When it comes to actually writing, I like to write in a full room with the amps blasting, and a big drum set.
Slash
Image
[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
Image
If I could hang out with Jimi Hendrix, it wouldn't be over dinner.
Slash
Image
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.

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
Image
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
Image
But if I was still trying to be in Guns N' Roses while I wasn't in the band... I wouldn't want to maintain an image like that.
Slash
Image
I always loved rock guitar. I just never put it together that that's what I'd end up doing.
