More quotes by Slash
Axl and I came from completely different backgrounds. Because of that we made an interesting pair trying to figure each other out.
Slash
Whenever society gets too stifling and the rules too complex, there's some sort of musical explosion.
Slash
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.
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
Rock n' roll is about attitude and rebellion. It's supposed to be fun and spontaneous.
Slash
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
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
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
I never want to draw attention to myself, but that's all I do.
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
If I ever go bald, I'll kill myself.
Slash
If it had been any different, if I had been born just one minute later, or been in the wrong pace at the right time or vice versa, the life that I've lived and come to love would not exist. And that is a situation that I would not want to consider in the slightest.
Slash
Risk isn't a word in my vocabulary. It's my very existence.
Slash
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.
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
When it comes to actually writing, I like to write in a full room with the amps blasting, and a big drum set.
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.
Slash
It's not so much about how good a player you are, its how cool you are.
Slash
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
For me, the original Guns N' Roses is the embodiment of a certain kind of chemistry that really couldn't be duplicated.
Slash
