“Slash Is One Of The Most Emotional Guitar Players That I’ve Ever Met. I Saw All These People Trying

“Slash is one of the most emotional guitar players that I’ve ever met. I saw all these people trying to be Eddie van Halen. And it took 5 years to find somebody who played more from the heart rather than just trying to be the fastest, to be a big rock star. He’ll be very quiet most of the time until he picks up a guitar and his heart and soul seems to pour out through the guitar. And I’ll sit right in front of his amp when he’s doing a solo. It means so much to me just to hear that.”
