Slash Overview:
Slash is one of the most distinctive and in-demand guitarists of the last 30 years, equally confident working in hard rock and pop. As the lead guitarist for Guns N’ Roses, Slash cemented his reputation as a fluid, articulate player, but once he left that band during the ‘90s, he continued to build on his legacy by delivering high-profile guest spots on other people’s albums, not to mention signing on to be a part of the supergroup Velvet Revolver. Born July 23, 1965, Slash released his first solo album, Slash, in 2010Guns N’ Roses:
In 1985, Slash hooked up with
frontman Axl Rose, guitarist Izzy Stradlin, bassist Duff McKagan and
drummer Steven Adler to form Guns N’ Roses. Within three years, their
debut, Appetite for Destruction,
had gone platinum several times over, establishing GNR as one of the
‘80s most dynamic hard rock groups. Slash’s ferocious riffs and searing
solos quickly became the band’s signature, and the group continued
their winning streak with the release of the Use Your Illusion albums in 1991. But tension over the band’s direction eventually forced Slash to exit Guns N’ Roses in the mid-‘90s.
Slash’s Snakepit:
Around
the time that signs of trouble started brewing within Guns N’ Roses,
Slash dabbled with a side project called Slash’s Snakepit, which
contained a few newer members from GNR (guitarist Gilby Clarke, drummer
Matt Sorum) and a colleague from Alice in Chains
(bassist Mike Inez), as well as vocalist Eric Dover. The band released
two albums that failed to come close to matching GNR’s commercial
impact, 1995’s It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere and 2000’s Ain’t Life Grand
(recorded with an entirely different lineup). The albums weren’t huge
hits, but they did demonstrate Slash’s preference for classic arena
rock.
Velvet Revolver:
Slash’s next major
creative endeavor came with Velvet Revolver, a group that included GNR
bandmates McKagan and Sorum, Wasted Youth guitarist Dave Kushner, and Stone Temple Pilots singer Scott Weiland. The band produced two old-school hard rock records, 2004’s Contraband and 2007’s Libertad.
Both albums were well-received and produced some rock-radio hits,
giving Slash a platform to show off the guitar tricks that made Appetite
so memorable. But in 2008, tension between Weiland and the rest of the
band caused the singer to exit the group, forcing Velvet Revolver to go
on hiatus while they searched for a new frontman.
