It seems excessive…but that doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.
The mass of black curls. The top hat. The cigarette dangling from
pouty lips. These are the trademarks of one of the world’s
greatest and most revered guitarists, a celebrity musician known by
one name: Slash. Saul “Slash” Hudson was born in Hampstead to a
Jewish father and a black American mother who created David
Bowie’s look in The Man Who Fell to Earth. He was raised in Stoke
until he was 11, when he and his mother moved to LA. Frequent
visitors to the house were David Bowie, Joni Mitchell, Ronnie Wood
and Iggy Pop. At this time Slash got into BMX bikes and would
eventually turn professional, winning major awards and money, but
at 15 his grandmother gave him his first guitar. Sessions with
numerous local LA rock bands followed until a fateful meeting with
singer W Axl Rose…and the rest was rock history. Guns N’ Roses
spent two years builiding their reputation before Appetite for
Destruction was unleashed on an unsuspecting world. Chart success
and global domination followed but with it came the inevitable fall
– addicted to heroin, booze and cigarettes the band imploded in a
rift between Axl and Slash that is as deep today as ever. But with
a new wife, kids and new band Velvet Revolver, Slash is back on
track. As raucous and edgy as his music, Slash sets the record
straight and tells the real story as only Slash can.
