Slash Wiki Biography

Saul Hudson, to the public known by a stage name of Slash, is a famous British-American guitarist, songwriter and musician. Slash is perhaps best known as the main guitarist in “Guns N’ Roses”, a hard rock band formed in 1985. Initially, the band consisted of the lead vocalist Axl Rose, Slash, who played guitar, a drummer Steven Adler, bassist Duff McKagan, and Izzy Stradlin, who played rhythm guitar. Currently, the only remaining member from the original band is Axl Rose. The band first debuted in the industry in 1987 with the release of their first studio album called “Appetite for Destruction”.

The album proved to be a huge commercial and critical success, as it topped the Billboard charts and spawned five singles, one of which, namely, “Sweet Child O’ Mine” became a huge hit, as well as the band’s distinguishing song. Not only did it peak at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 but also inspired many artists to create their covers of the song. It was also featured in such films as “State of Grace” with Sean Penn and Gary Oldman, “Step Brothers” with Will Ferrell, John C. Reilly and Adam Scott, and “Big Daddy” with Adam Sandler. Following the success of their debut album, “Guns N’ Roses” released a critically acclaimed “G N’ R Lies”, as well as such Platinum albums as “Use Your Illusion I” and “Use Your Illusion II”. Up to date the band has released a total of six studio albums. Inductees into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, “Guns N’ Roses” are considered to be among the best hard rock artists of all time. A famous lead guitarist for “Guns N’ Roses” and thought to be one of the best guitarists in the music industry, how rich is Slash? According to sources, Slash’s net worth is estimated to be $32 million. Needless to say, the majority of Slash’s net worth and wealth came from his involvement in the music industry.

Saul Hudson was born in 1965, in London, England, yet when he was five years old he moved out to Los Angeles, California with his father. Slash’s passion for music was prevalent during his teenage years. In 1979, Slash met Steven Adler who would soon become his good friend, as well as a band member. With Adler, Slash joined his very first band called “Road Crew”. The group was later joined by Duff McKagan, yet “Road Crew” soon disbanded as they were unable to find a lead vocalist. Shortly afterwards, Slash and Adler joined “Hollywood Rose”, a hard rock group that was founded by Axl Rose, Chris Weber and Izzy Stradlin. “Hollywood Rose” would soon become “Guns N’ Roses” with which Slash spent more than 11 years. Slash left the band in 1996 due to having issues with the way Rose handled and controlled the band. After “Guns N’ Roses”, Slash went on to work on other projects and founded two bands, namely “Slash’s Snakepit”, which disbanded in 2002, and “Velvet Revolver”, which consists of former “G N’ R” members Duff McKagan and Matt Sorum.

Slash Quotes

• [on Axl Rose continuing to use the name Guns N’ Roses] A lot of people think it’s sacrilegious to do that but he doesn’t really give a hot fuck.
• [on Axl Rose] As volatile as he is, all the things that you might find complicated or difficult about Axl is what fuels him to be such an amazing performer and such an amazing songwriter.
• [2010] In the 1970s, my family moved from England to the Laurel Canyon area, and my parents were very much dialed in to the whole Sunset Strip scene,” said the rocker. “They were both in the music business, and the whole reason we lived where we did was because of the recording industry. So I have very vivid memories of the Rainbow and the Roxy, and the Whisky was a huge point of interest at that time. And we practically lived at Tower Records. It was all so great; that’s where I brought my band up. It was a such a scene. I still live close to the Strip, just up the hill, and when people are visiting from out of town, the first place I send them is the Rainbow. I still go to the Roxy and the Viper Room every so often. The Rainbow and Viper Room are almost like in a time warp. They are cryptically unchanged. You see people you haven’t seen for 20 years, and they pretty much look the same now as they did then. It’s sort of a trip because I’m probably one of them. The Rainbow is like the community center of the area. It’s a cool place – they’ve got a bar, they play rock music, it’s the last vestige of cool rock ‘n’ roll in the city. People go there religiously, and that’s probably why I go there.
• I don’t see why the subject of kicking dope is such a big deal. It’s personal, really. It’s like asking how I go to the bathroom or what do I wash when I take a shower.
• Axl is like a magnet for problems. I’ve never met anybody like him. He’s the kind of guy that would get a toothbrush stuck down his throat because that particular toothbrush happened to be defective.
• I learned some of Brad Whitford’s solos, and from Joe Perry I think I just picked up slam-bam dynamics. I’ve always worked hard towards being able to play what I hear in my head. I don’t like to over-think. If something comes into my head, I want to be able to play it instantly. That’s what improvising is all about, and that’s why I go and jam a lot.
• He’s a huge hero of mine and the fact that he knew who I was was a huge compliment. Bo Diddley created a myth that was uniquely his own. An entire rhythm is owed to just one guy and that’s pretty rare. He was such a trooper and a timeless individual. I’m hoping the pioneers of rock like Bo Diddley won’t be forgotten.
• [on writing his memoir, “Slash”] The only reason I wrote it is because a lot of the stuff I was reading and seeing about the band got pretty frustrating. I just had to straighten out some shit.
• For me to sound like “me” I have to have a Marshall. That’s just the way it is.
• [Jeff Beck] is one of the most amazing guitar players the world has seen when it just comes to rock and roll guitar. He’s a real organic player.
• Sex and drugs go hand in hand when you’re a rock ‘n’ roll musician. If I were a violinist, it might be a different matter.
