Quote

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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
I dont believe in having regrets.

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.

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.

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
For me, the original Guns N' Roses is the embodiment of a certain kind of chemistry that really couldn't be duplicated.

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

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