Publisher’s Synopsis:
A human cartoon of hair, super-strength cigarettes and the rock world’s most famous top hat, Slash is one of the most iconic guitarists in recent memory. Although born in Stoke-on-Trent, this one-off guitarist came to prominence through the debauchery and stellar chart success of the American west coast’s Guns N’ Roses; Slash’s highly productive but volatile relationship with lead singer Axl Rose led to a perhaps inevitable split in the mid-90s.
Moving on first to his own Snakepit project, then a blues band, then on to a career as one of the world’s most sought after soloists, Slash’s profile has finally returned to its highest peak with the formation of the outrageous and hugely successful Velvet Revolver, a super-group of rock stars that lives life as hard as his former band-mates ever did.
His story is inevitably one of massive rock and roll excess, exhausting and famous live shows, fiery confrontations with other musicians but also of incredible discipline, a unique natural musical gift and, of course – through “Sweet Child O’ Mine” and “Paradise City” to name but a few – the creation of some of rock music’s most legendary songs.
