I bet slash sleeps with his sunglasses
botman you are probably right
amibanani yeah he does
Only because sunglasses beg to sleep with Slash.
amibanani with Kerry King
Plus 🎩
On Slash's ID for eye color it just says aviators
hyper biscuit LOL!! 😂 I can say I have seen his eyes. They’re brown lol
I’m Dead😂😂😂😂
For hair it says "Hat"
Don't do it man, I got interested and searched for images of slash without hat and aviators. He looks weird.
Wait..he has eyes?
Slash was born with a deformity called “aviator eyes”.
Its a self conscious thing. I wear sun glasses all the time to hide behind them. Not saying that Slash does the same but he does seem like that type a dude
Sydaball no you’re right. He a pretty shy and introverted guy and he said that beginning his musical career when he’d go on stage he’d wear sunglasses to hide from the crown kind of. Now it’s just become his thing
Yes
"that must be a pretty rare thing, like ive never heard of anyone else doing that" says me whos wearing aviators watching this at 11: 30 at night in my room w no lights on
this man's funeral better be an entire concert of bands who were inspired by guns and roses.
Avenged Sevenfold would definitely be there
As much as i think its gonna be an anniversary that the world is gonna remember, the new Woodstock!
I just dont want to think about that day. Slash git ne to play guitar and i legit dont know what ill do if he will just one day stop making songs for me to push my limits with, and get better
That would be like 95% of rock bands and I'm being conservative
@@diegojosegonzalez so probably a 5 day concert. And I am being conservative
@@WilzeyLad they were my first thought when I read this
for the first time in 25 years, i see slash's ear
aahahhah
:D
mywave inwoods wait another 25 years to see his eyes \,,/
Lol. He must be balding.
I highly doubt he’s balding. He has a lot of hair. He’s a legendary long haired man. Bret Michaels is balding and wears stuff to cover its. But Slash’s hair hasn’t changed. I’m 36 with long hair and losing it scares me lol. I think I’m good tho it would of happened already.
Am I the only one satisfied by how well Slash's t-shirt matches the Loudwire logo in the lower right?
Damyan Momchev no but thank you for pointing that out!!! That's pretty damn awesome!!!!
Yes you are
Especially at 8:00 !
TacomaPaul yes
I wet the bed last night.
The GNR pinball machine is at a nearby bar where I live, and it is in fact loud as fuck
Hey SNES drunk! Unrelated, but love your videos bro
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSNES DRUNK!
The new one is the best pinball game I've ever played
Pin ball is so up and down. Some days rock others I wanna smash the glass. I get bad potty mouth 🚽
You should buy that bad boy.
Random 'Slash fact'. I live in a place called Blurton, Stoke-on-Trent, England. It's where Slash lived inbetween being born in Hampstead near London & moving to Los Angeles. A couple of doors down the street from me lives a woman who used to babysit for Slash when he was a kid. Thanks to the wonders of Social Media she got in touch with Slash a few years back, told him all about the bedtime stories she used to read to him etc... to prove it was her. Now, whenever he is playing in England he always makes sure she's on the VIP list so she can get backstage access & meet up with him again.
Up the Potters!
that's so sweet!
Lemmy lived in Stoke On Trent too
love thaaat
Wholesome as hell.
Slash: I want to play bass
Teacher: No you won't... for God sake
Diego Alejandro “ did you say baGUITAR!”
thank god for that guitar teacher
Think about those advices (probably happening all the time) we will never hear about.
@Diego Alejandro I know only love cats plan bass! So nice ! 😅😅😅
Sounds like he didn’t WANT to play bass. He was relegated to the bass until the teacher steered him in the direction that he actually wanted to go. He never owned a bass.
Slash seems to be such a mature guy. Notice how at the need he reached out to shake the hosts hand instead of the other way around. That represents class in my opinion. He seems to be like a great guy at this point in time.
Excellent observation. So why does Axl regard Slash so poorly?
Syclone0044 Because Axl is a twat.
Professional.
Tyler Hicks or maybe because you weren’t there to see what happened when the two had their falling out so you don’t know what Slash did that made Axl so mad, dumbass
@@Syclone0044 from what I heard. Slash worked with Michael Jackson (a suspected child molester) and Axl was molested by his father when he was a child
If slash ever cut his hair I'd lose my shit
sameee oh GOD
I feel like at this point it's just a God on its own you can't destroy it
Me toooooo
So would he.
@@nitro_001newman2 so true lmao
Using the latest, most precise laser technology, we have managed to finally remove slash's top hat.
And then we found the baseball cap
Slashs top hat was stolen from him. Not sure how but he said in an interview that he had it stolen. Ill try n send you the link n post it for you
@@chrisharrington4373 and then the tick that stole it from him decided to sell it on Ebay and he bought it back
I DIDN'T EVEN REALIZE HE WORE THEM ALL THE TIME
He has extra hats under his hats
I just can't unsee that ear stickin' out.
Damn you good sir, now I can't unsee it either.
+Toni Horvat Dammit
+Toni Horvat hhahaha man you killed me :')
Fuck, now i cant either
FUCK!
Can we just appreciate the fact that Slash is over 50 yrs old is still fucking ripped as fuck?
Right? I'm only 20 and not even close to being in that good of shape! So kudos to slash for keeping in shape.
I heard he used steroids
nahh
lol no. @Jedi Mercury
Can we just appreciate steroids for older gentlemen
Slash is like the opposite of Gene Simmons.
John van Gurp What’s so bad about Gene?
I just saw the Gene interview, and I dont know what to think other than separate the art from the artist. He is 50% asshole and 50% tolerable
@@LeftHookLegend he's a self centered, egotistical asshole who thinks he is the best thing to ever happen to humanity
@@LeftHookLegend He's a total douchecanoe.
Nolan Nez Yea I figured it out that same day😂. But I love the guy tho.
Thinking about it now, Slash has come close to death many times. I'm very glad the legend is still alive.
Slash is so cool. He's humble and just down to earth, not full of himself. Good guy.
To this day I have never seen Slash's eyes.
November Rain music video shows his eyes briefly during the first solo.
Just google it lol :D
I've never seen Joey Ramone's eyes.
+Ballbreaker 2112 it might be better that you don't. Don't get me wrong, I love the Ramones. However Joey looks like Howard stern with downs.
Usually when someone always wears shades they look weird without them but not Slash , he looks good with or without. But Slash without the top hat is strange lol .
For a living legend, this man is an absolute gentleman with no pretense or ego whatsoever.
Slash here is the chillest chill that ever chilled. Love it.
as famous as Slash is he seems down to earth as far as I've heard for a guitar icon.EDIT:5/8/2020, WOW! 2k thumbs up! Thanks a lot everyone & stay safe during this pandemic!
+Roy Martin From what I have heard by people in the music industry he is supposed to be down to earth and mellow.
+Ynffy likewise. I'm no guitar hero or rock star but growing up here in San Diego County, being so close to LA and the LA music scene. the bands I've been in the past, past bandmates have known him or met him and that seems to be the consensus. Have a great holiday dude.
Yes very much so 😊
Yep, I've heard the same across the board. Seems like a great guy to be friends with.
+Roy Martin Slash is after all a pretty shy guy by his own account. He's also mentioned that he doesn't have that many people he would call friends but rather many acquaintances and people he likes working with. I'm guessing that plays a part in him remaining down to earth.
How can anyone not like Slash? love the guy
69th like
Love Slash, hate Axel
Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.
@Izzy Why not just love Axl, love Slash?
@Izzy you are fake fan
Slash sounds quite bright, reasonable, fairly personable, and a classy guy. He didn't swear once.
I love how down to earth Slash is and how honest he is about speaking on personal music issues.
with parents like that, this dude was destined for greatness
Ta gueule please ta gueule
Chris Redig
Ferme la tienne plutôt
That handshake at the end has got to be a check on your bucket list of life. :P
it surely is on mine
I remember reading in a very old interview that Slash said the reason he always had his hair covering his eyes or had sunglasses on because he was so shy and that was his way of not making eye contact with anyone.
He was also very self-conscious about his racial identity when he was younger. Nobody should ever feel ashamed of who they are or be put in a box of expectations for it. I'm sure many black rock-n-roll artists (Phil Lynott, Prince, Lenny Kravitz, Jimi Hendrix, Doug Pinnick from King's X, Bad Brains, Fishbone, Living Colour) all got crap from both sides for simply being who they want to be.
@Inside Barry's Mind no in his autobiography he said it was because he is shy.
Slash is just nose, lips, sunglasses, hair, piercing and hat XD
And rock n roll baby \m/
and fingers
You are definitely forgetting talent.
Slash Mr Potatohead
When I was a kid and sweet child would play on MTV(back when they use to play music on that channel ) I remember that I always thought Slash was a guy wearing a mask or something lol. Just the way my young brain scrambled it up for me lol. Couldn't take my eyes off of that video though. I knew something was great about it. Even at 6yrs old
Nice try, but we all know Slash isn't real.
/ is very real
+Pennman9000 Vünter Slauche yar?
oh my god that made me laugh
he is
the dieing thing was true it was way true
I can't believe Slash is that down to earth, the dude seems like an pretty nice guy.
Yes actually he is, since GnR time...he is a mellow kind of guy, he seldom react and he seldom talks...
"I was told I had 6 weeks to live and my first thought was how am I going to make up those missed shows" what a cool ass dude.
When I got my pacemaker/defibrillator a year and a half ago after my heart started failing, it made me happy that Slash has a pacemaker too. I’m only 36 so it kind of sucks but I’m fine now. I have a whole new outlook on life though. 11 years clean in August for me, Four little kids and a cool as fuck wife. Career as a sculptor and hair halfway down my back. Life is good. If it’s not good, just keep doing what you wanna do and you’ll get there.
I love that he didn't badmouth Poison.
Wait till you read his Autobiography.
Oh, he did... he did.. 😂
@Troy Staunton Dave and Courtney are not friends. Don't fool yourself.
I can do that on my own. Poison has got to be the most horrible band in rock history
@@roxannemoser Exactly. Fortunately, GN´R was raw and real, not like those assholes
The interviewer is pretty cool! He is doing an awesome job! I haven't enjoyed an interview so much for a long time! Thanks this video!
Ich bins Danke - G
My thoughts exactly! He did not interrupt the interviewee as some others do, he was sufficient in whatever Slash was talking about, and the conversation between the two was sincere. Awesome job!
And to think, when he was in kindergarten, Slash was doing world tours!
That is a good point. The interviewer is relaxed and makes the whole thing like a lunch conversation with a cousin. Nice comment.
I agree! I noticed slash responds so much better and has more insightful interviews when the person interviewing him is like this guy... Well done mate!
+Ich bins hheEHehehEHEHehEHEH
gO tO tRuThConTestcOm< Read thE pREseNt
I had the fortunate opportunity to see Slash play a concert up close(at about 30 feet) and watched intently. He was great ! At one time I thought he was just some burned out rock star but that night changed my mind... ! He came out for the encore (with that top hat on !) with that black double neck and played both parts of PF's "wish you were here"... One rock memory I will always have.... a BIG thumbs up to that guy... !
What great place to be at just the right time. I love to hear great artists pay homage to other great artists by covering their songs.
Call me crazy, but did anyone else notice the "hmm" that Slash does when he's being asked a question or when he's just listening? It's so warm and friendly!
Slash is born with glasses
and will die with glasses
Dj solarsys but legends never die
@@myballsin4kultrahd278 well his persona as an artist and music will live forever but not as a human like the rest of us ya dig?
Not r/whoosh, but I think the reason why he wears shades so often is because he is so used to it because of the lights on stage that he just leaves them on.
Yes
Damn, he seems like a super mellow down to earth guy. It makes me happy that someone with such a big name can still be human.
Slash seems like such a down to earth and mellow guy to be around. If I were Gruhamed, I’d have asked to hang with him and get more off the record answers regarding his career history and whatnot off the camera.
"I was wearing moccasins." I will repeat that til I die
@Joey Punk Punk +Che ?
@Joey Punk didn't have much to say, just felt like highlighting those two words
@Joey Punk it's that time of the month for me
@Joey Punk I hate moccasins so damn much they associate with unique smell of your peach fuzzy mustached russian neighbour
@Joey Punk I am alright I swear
I earned so much about a musician I've admired for so long. "You had weeks to live" and Slash is like "Well that was like one Doctor's Opinion." WHO IS YOUR DOCTOR BRO?
that was true
Doctor Alibi probably
Gary V dr feel good
Same one as Michael Jackson tbh
"I was dressed down to earth pretty much as I am now"
*jangles 5000 bracelets while adjusting indoor shades and backwards cap
two different definitions of the words
This is true, but compared to a sequinned leotard it's pretty low-key :-P
He deff laid back
Don't hate
That's how I dress. Wym
This guy is very mellow! So down to earth , so humble....good to have him in our music industry...
"Eh, I'm Slash and you're watching Loudwire..."
GOLD
Thank the Lord almighty that he refused the Poison slot.. Thank you God !
+Rhythmista haha because he wouldnt dye his hair blonde haha
+Rhythmista Poison got big a few years before GnR; I wonder if her regretted that decision at the time.
haha never would have regretted it haha
:)
+Eric Hanaway Why would Slash ever regret not joining Poison? GnR was the biggest rock band in the world during their peak. They sold out every stadium across seas. Poison never reached that status.
Slash looks like he could wrestle tbh.
And who is 77 likes??
A lot of guitarists gain muscle when they are constantly strumming and holding heavy guitars like a Les Paul
@@fatboydashredder9877
Except Jimmy Page
@@fatboydashredder9877 to an extent, they just workout. Holding a guitar won’t get your arms that big
@@shalashaska6658 fair enough
Any normal person: 6 days or weeks?! Oh my god
Slash: *touring the world * I got through it it’s all good
Plus he figured out that once he had the pacemaker he could do as much oxy as he wanted because should he OD, the pacemaker would just restart him. He actually burned through one or two of them due to "frequent use".
One of the greatest guitarists ever and what a classy guy
The guy is now 50! He still look like 35. Atleast!
+GuitarInferno Then again, the dude's wearing sunglasses. But yeah he doesn't look that old.
His hair says yes, his beard stubble says no.
Hes invincible
Sorry but how can you tell?
no he doesn't
I'm not big on his music, but Slash seems like a really cool guy.I'd party with him.I'd die 7 times in the process, but I'd party with him.
Mannibal Lector What a delightful cause of death that would be.
How can you like partying but not like guns and roses? Does not compute
Slash is such a inspiring guitarist and without him god knows what guitar players wouldn’t be around today
He’s in his 50s but still sounds in his 20s
I never payed attention but your right! He only had a higher voice during the early GnR days
@@dolantho He sounds like he's in high-school in 80s
Good interviewer. I like that he asked proper questions about songwriting and recording, as opposed to GnR reunions and all the other crap they get asked. Good man.
Right he was respectful to Slash, and didnt try to lead him down any rabbit holes. I gotta give the man credit where its due! Knucks dude!!
I've had the chance to see Slash live and it was one hell of a show!
Elric D'André Alarie lucky u I'd love to c slash
I think slash leanred more about his own life than the interviewer did
Is it me? Or is slash pretty buff lol
Omar Rojo he is a big guy
During 2010- basically now he has bulked the fuck up! Especially during the early 2010's he was huge!!!! Seriously look up videos. I saw him in 2011,2012,2013,2014, 2015,2016 and he was like built up.
I thought so too
Zakk got em all on roids
@@adamwilson8561 Probably right on that lol.
He has a cool voice
If Slash isn't the most unquestionably likeable figure in rock n' roll history, I'd like to hear the alternative. I wonder if it'd be the same if Axl weren't...Axl.
Lemmy was too.
Ace Frehley too
joe perry as well
Alice Cooper is pretty cool
Gooood question, im an outside the box/random as hell thinker as well, so high five for that one. I mean if you seriously contemplate that scenario, the results could have been, wow kinda blew my mind lol good job dude aha!!👍🏼
Slash is just such a cool, humble guy who just looks awesome. Plus he doesn't really age.
the hand shake at the end ..simply seals the deal as too how much of a humble guy he is ..classact
More with Graham please. Dude is funny, warm, and personable. Great interview. Should make sure the guests audio is the same level as the host though.
***** Thank you! - G
***** Blame the engineer (if there IS one). The host should NEVER be louder than the guest, even if the guest is soft-spoken. The engineer's job is to make their voices level.
SLASH MUMBLES HARD TO HEAR.
Zidders Roofurry Slash is naturally soft spoken. In other interviews with level sound he’s still really quiet. He’s shy, hence the glasses, the hat & his hair in his face. ☺️
Great interview, interesting, and funny stuff. Did anyone else notice how the "Loudwire" guitar logo bleeds into the red smoke on Slash's Frankenstein tshirt perfectly! Silly I know, but I thought that was pretty cool.
Slash seems like such a genuine Kind man for someone as famous as he is
I'll be honest, Slash is a really chill, down to earth and overall awesome dude, but I would like to see a Fact or fiction on Angus Young from AC/DC.
Slash is a badass. This rocked!
the host suppose to shake hands with slash at the end of the interview, instead slash reach his hand out first. cool dude
Speaking from personal experience with Slash I can tell you that he is exactly the way you see him in this interview. He's extremely mellow and incredibly humble. When I was first introduced to him I was scared to death but after spending time with him and his family I truly felt honored to call him my friend. He hosted an event for me at his house and it was amazing!! His father, Tony is incredible as well. I have some awesome pictures from my time in Los Angeles with him. I should make a video to share my wonderful memories with all of his fans. He's one of the smartest people I have ever met. His passion for animals is so important to him. Especially, Billy the elephant. We went to the LA Zoo for an interview and to see him interact with the elephant was truly breathtaking. I am so glad that you recognized how truly down to earth he is. He loves coffee!! I guess you can tell in this interview:-). Just thought I'd share my experience with this amazing human. 😊
@@KarenPerryMusic fiction
Love these, I learned quite a bit. Keep them coming. This is from 2014 so have no idea if these are still being put out.
I love his voice. I could listen to him all day long.
Imagine if the doctor said to slash
In 6 days or 6 weeks
Your gonna diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiie
Lmao
He's invincible!
Pun intended 😂😂
😂😂😂😂 im dead
he already did pretty much before his heart operation, read his book.
I was so amused when Slash said that he failed the auditions with Poison basically because his too masculine looks didn't fit in their hair band:)) Well, that's actually true :D Anyways, he is an exceptional guitarist and he's still hot!
5:51 - i love how the Loudwire-guitar logo in the corner lines up with the smoke from Frankensteins cigarette.
from all these interviews you can really see who is humble, enjoying the success yet not exploiting their profits or status. slash, Corey taylor, Tom araya, etc. all seem very relaxed and down to earth guys
6:38 the difference between Slash and Axl who was always late onstage or cancelling the shows withouy any reason
Axl was basically kicked out of the rock and roll community. That says something when stupid dicks think somebody else is such a stupid dick that they don't want to work with them.
But he thanks the Security.
Geez. Gruhamed has the best job in the world!
Iced im ur pusher
HeHoZy HAIL GRUHAMMED
It's gromit right?
Along with the worst name in the world..
A living legend. He never comes across as anything other than the coolest dude in rock.
slash is just the most perfect human
i swear his death is gonna be more upsetting then the queens
btw who ever slashs guitar teacher please teach me your ways 🙏🏻
Jesus Christ that’s a weird comment
PLS level the sound! Intro and outtro are tearing my speakers apart!
Nice interview bdw, as usual;)
Really great interview. Graham comes off as someone who is both invested and a fan as well as an interviewer which seemed to keep Slash at ease. Slash seems like a really cool guy - which is great, because I love his music and always like it when folks are good people to boot. Thanks for the vid!!
God Bless!
He has the chillest voice but yet so rock n roll. I love it lol
Great interview! I have always loved Slash
Slash has some serious guns there!
Slash's totally jacked.
Dorsae I thought so to his face says hard Binge he is drinking or using or just coming off something I think
patrick enriquez that means he’s ripped, big muscles
Drove from San Diego to AZ to see Slash he was great live
First time I see Slash in an interview, what a nice guy! Seems down to earth times a million.
Slash is too cool. He's a true professional musician.
Sounds like Slash's friend was trying to tell him about the book Titus Alone by Mervyn Peake but he misheard it as Tidus Sloan
No, Tidus Sloan was the first band of Slash indeed. He says it in his book.
but maybe that name was inspired by "titus alone"
+Josh Kesselman, Obviously Clara didn't watch the interview. Thanks, Josh, I was wracking my brain trying to figure out what it could've been. I was even trying to figure if it could've been 'tight as. . .'. =)
@@sweetbitter2 and now we know you didn't bother to watch or listen. 🙄
Damn, that might be it! I've been sitting here trying to think of what the guy could have been talking about or saying for Slash to have heard "Titus Sloan".
Slash is such a timeless dude! Really enjoyed this interview!
Slash seems to be very humble man with great personality! Great guy..
Slash is so humble. Love him
well he certainly won the epic parent lottery.
The interviewer does a really good job! By behaving very ethically and really caring about people's feelings, he makes it look like an informal chat, rather than a hunt for private information. And it's cool!
Everytime I watch this I cannot help but to love Slash a little bit more
I think Slash is the only person Grahm has interviewed that he isn’t terrified of lol he manages to make almost every interview awkward at some point in the video
Slash never ages...
I’ve always loved his laid back energy
Slash muscles grew BIG!!! And he still look Young!!
Phenomenal guitarist that still writes music ahead of its time 🤘
I think Slash took notes on humility from one of his biggest hero's Jimi Hendrix. Slash has a lot of Jimi's mellow sweet mannerism's. Just a humble classy cool cat he is ;)
Same souls and styles in a way, jimmy and slash are all soul and love improvisation
Slash is so chill. Just goes with the flow and does whatever.
The GOAT, the most incredibly talented guitarist and the most humble beautiful person ❤ . I just saw him in November and he was doing a handstand at the end of the show 🎉
