Slash Speaks On Guns N Roses Rumours

The following story is courtesy of CityNews.ca:

He plays heavy metal notes with a passion few others can match. But it turns out those aren't the only notes veteran axeman SLASH kept all those years. He's assembled enough of his experiences as the guitar god for GUNS N' ROSES to put them into a book. And this road warrior isn't afraid to tell all.

The real Saul Hudson's tome, Slash, is filled with tales from his beginnings with G'nR to his new incarnation in Velvet Revolver. The man looks the same - the characteristic mane and the ever present cigarette, hat and sunglasses. But he admits he's changed over the years of seeing so many strange things happening in his life. And it's his only chance to set the record straight.

"There were a lot of rumours about Guns 'N Roses going around that was really getting to me, you know," he confesses. "It was like stuff that I usually, you know, sort of just dismiss and don't pay much attention to, but it got to be really saturating and I got fed up and I said, 'okay, the only way I'm going to be able to get some accurate information out there, from at least the way that I see it, is to actually do the book.'"

The only question is, Does anyone still care about GnR. I'd be happy never hearing about washed up 80's bands again.

A lot of people still care. Mostly the younger gen who didn't get to see GNR in their greatness, only hear about this legendary band. Are there any bands out there who actually LIVE the rock star lifestyle? NO. Very few can talk AND walk the debaucherous scenes. GNR did that and for anyone with any sort of passion over music, and inner rebellion, GNR is what we have to turn to. Im glad Slash wrote the book, he's been an Idol of mine for some time, but he's always been reserved. I've never complained because it's the dudes life and who am I to beg for insight into it, but now that he's offered it, I and plenty others are going to be interested.

No one can sing like Axl. No one comes close to imitating his voice. He may not be the coolest kat around, but he sure can wail. Too bad he is so hard to get along with, because Slash and him together create legendary music. No one comes close.
