I didn't know that Slash was a rich kid who hung out with celebs. How come he ended up meeting Axl/Izzy who were poor guys trying to make a living? He didn't hang out with Kravitz in highschool and Kravitz wasn't a celeb in highschool. His parents had jobs and were clients of celebrities but that doesn't mean they were rich either. Not everyone in Hollywood back then or now is rich. Also Slash's parents friends in the music business had no influence on the band getting signed or anything like that. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post traddfolks Posted May 25 Popular Post Share Posted May 25 I'm not sure what Slash's family has to do with anything in Guns N' Roses aside from Axl telling Slash's granny to go fuck herself and then jumping out of a moving car. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GnR Chris Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 On 5/23/2024 at 10:03 AM, lunastar said: The same question for Izzy. When and where did he meet Nikki Sixx? In one of the chapters of the book The Dirt, Nikki Sixx talks about his grand parties, Izzy's name is mentioned among the party guests. Judging by the details, we are talking about the composition of GNR with Tracii Guns. So, how did Izzy get to know these guys, one of whom was the bassist of an already famous band at that time and the other from a very bohemian family? Drugs, probably. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nikki was there at the beginning of London in the late 70s but left probably in early 1980s. Izzy joined in 1984. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post WhazUp Posted May 27 Popular Post Share Posted May 27 On 5/23/2024 at 6:40 AM, rocknroll41 said: Slash’s mom designed costumes for David Bowie (and even dated him at one point) and knew David Geffen (though apparently Geffen didn’t know that Slash was Ola’s son until after AFD came out). I think slash’s dad also designed album covers for bands or something. I have no problem with nepo babies, tho, as long as they prove they have talent of their own (and slash certainly did). Plus it isn't like Slash got famous by hobnobbing with famous people, he was in the streets of LA living in the Hell House with the rest of GNR getting down and dirty and living the genuine life trying to make it as a musician - to me that deserves respect because he talked the talk and walked the walk and was just a regular dude trying to get into bands that could thrive 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More like his classic style than anything he's done in a decade. Hopefully this blues thing will help him slow down and rediscover his rhythm and groove.

Slash never lost his rhythm and groove imo. maybe he plays faster cause that's how he also wants to play so it's at least partly a choice. he doesn't overplays or plays too fast on Orgy of the damned for example. again, just to my ears. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the solo you praised from the Kimmel show and it’s every bit as fluid on the record. Edited May 29 by Free Bird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the same solo at all. You can't tell the differences? He also uses more gain on Kimmel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the solo for Papa. Of course it wasn’t played note for note. But it sounds even better in the record imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
