I was introduced to Saul Hudson better known as Slash, at the age of 11; I was pushed aside by the society for my odd taste in music. As a kid, I was into hard rock. The first band I fell in love with was guns' and roses. Songs like November rain and Sweet Child o' Mine . I actually saved my recess money and bought their debut album Appetite for Destruction , 50 cents per day, 40 days of starvation. I didn’t have a CD player, so I bought the cassette, and it was worth every penny. I played it over and over again on my walkman, at one point the tape came out. I was bummed
I’ve grown up listening to slash. At the age of 17 I decided to start playing the guitar. I got my interested by watching slash perform on TV and youtube. I try to imitate his moves. I still do need loads of practice, I’m still a rookie. Slash has posed as a role model in my life, mostly the guitar-part. I would say I'm his biggest fan , more like a stalker .
"...It`s not so much how good a player you are, it`s how cool you are".-Slash
Slash is my favourite rockstar, why? Simple. He’s different from the rest. He has a different sense in style. It’s unique. Slash has his signature “top hat” and his Gibson Les Paul. Slash is my personal favourite from the beginning. He knows how to rock his guitar. He gives young people the interest, to play the guitar, he gives them hope or at least for me, he did. He also is willing to teach some of his riffs on youtube. This is excellent. It helps those who can’t afford to take up guitar class.
Slash’s has almost impossible guitar solos, in my point of view, no one can beat that.
Slash has the best solos like on november rain,sweet child of mine and welcome to the jungle. Slash is also a decent guitar player .
He also helps the needy , Slash and McKagan appearing with the band Great White at a "Children of the Night" Benefit concert in LA for abused homeless children, it helped raise money for housing to aid the underprivileged .
So tell me , what’s not to love about the God Of Rock ?
