Ok, not a huge GNR fan but damn Slash plays with such taste and timing. Heavenly bends!

If someone said he’s the greatest rock guitarist ever, id have no argument against. I think the Mt Rushmore is jimi, jimmy, Edward and him

That first Velvet Revolver album is my favorite stuff of his, then his first solo album.

The sound coming from his Magnatone signature amp on Appetite is killer.

Slash is one of those cats that just oozes rock n roll cool. He is a very tasty player that just seems to know what notes will sound right.

One of those guys with a signature tone within the higher gain area of the low gain spectrum… like evh, malmsteen and pre Soldano demartini

I'm going to get attacked for this...But I don't love his playing and his songwriting isn't great. There's a reason GNR started to fail when they ran out of Izzy Stradlin riffs.

Unique style and very good when he takes his time at crafting his lead parts. Relies heavily on bending to the correct note which can back fire live sometimes when he is/was wasted. Not the cleanest player but always had a great vibe. I find he over plays live for his skill level but I am a huge fan of his early work. I don't have him in my top 10 though.

One of my heroes for sure. Seeing him live for the first time was an experience.
I always thought it was funny how his live and studio sounds were completely different. Studio, very brash and brittle and snarly. Live, super warm and fat and chewy.

Big fan of GnR and Slash . GnR in 1987 opening for The Cult remains one of the most high energy kickass sets I’ve seen over the years . The Cult was blazing hot also

Supposedly the first Slash Snakepit album was material he wrote for GnR but Axl wasn’t interested . Apparently he felt the same way

Interesting.. that Snakepit album was good. Big sounding and greasy rock. I've always felt Axl is more of a melodic/ epic song writer. Those Illusion albums have his preferences all over them, some cool stuff but not for every song. I felt UYI 1 and 2 were big let downs after Appetite and that might also have been because Steven and no Izzy weren't there as well.

Slash is a great 70s inspired type classic rock guitar player. Mt Rushmore? Not for me. His best playing was on Appetite for me. I lost interest after that record. Illusion albums were far too bloated for me and grandiose. I felt like they lost their way and got too far away from what they were great at.
