ARTISTdirect caught up with legendary Guns N' Roses/Velvet Revolver axeman Slash for an in-depth interview session regarding the release of "Reckless Road: Guns N' Roses and the Making of Appetite for Destruction." Find out first-hand from Slash how the new release promises to bring fans closer to his music, his guitar vision for the kiddies, and more.

Here's an excerpt of the interview:

Interviewer: As a musician, you've always had that '70s maverick aesthetic. There was a sense in the '70s that anything was possible artistically, and that boundless mentality is inherent in your playing. Do you think that this clinic will promote that vibe?

Slash: "Maverick aesthetic," that's heavy! Anyway, that's the thing. There's really not that much to talk about when it comes to that. I'm playing a hell of a lot these days. Even when I really pay attention to what I'm doing, there is no real rhyme or reason to why and how I do it. It's just what I go for and what I try to accomplish from what I'm hearing in my head or whatever. I don't have a systematic approach or a methodical, conceptual idea as to how it should be done, so it's sort of ambiguous [Laughs].

What's Next?
