Quote

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.

For me, the original Guns N' Roses is the embodiment of a certain kind of chemistry that really couldn't be duplicated.
Slash
Image
When that band started out, I was 18 years old. So that was my reality all the way up until I quit the band. And even then, you know, Guns N' Roses has a nasty way of sticking around.

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

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.

I think when I was a kid, and I was in England and it was all about The Stones, The Who, The Kinks and The Beatles and that's what my dad was into.

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.

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

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.

Being a rockstar is the intersection of who you are and who you want to be.

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.

Whenever society gets too stifling and the rules too complex, there's some sort of musical explosion.

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

You can't wait around for destiny to give you what you think you deserve, you have to earn it, even if you think you've paid your dues.

When we weren't being transcendent we specialized in self-inflicted disaster.

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
Image
The only time I think I've ever gotten sick of playing Guns and Roses songs really was during - after having played them in Guns and Roses, and then in Snakepit, and then playing 'It's So Easy' and 'Brownstone' in Velvet Revolver.
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.

[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.

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.
