      BlueArpeggio531 Damn straight. Like I always say, I'd rather listen to a blues influenced ensemble wailer like Slash all day than endure even five minutes of a classically influenced solo-specialist shredder. They're brilliant, but boring beyond tears.
      To me the very best players can do both as musically appropriate, and more.

      BlueArpeggio531 To be honest, I agree with you, I like the more bluesy type solos he uses cause of how it feels. But if you watch Anastasia live, you'll soon learn that Slash can shred his ass off! He just prefers the feel of the music, as apposed to showing off.

      Slash said that he wanted to follow his own path, be his own man. Everyone in L.A was trying to be EVH at the time. All the hair band guitarists were playing BC Riches with bright colours. Slash came out sounding different playing a REALLY cool guitar. When Sweet Child O one came on tv in Australia I was hooked. It was just Slash’s sound, it was the the sound and look of the band. They were different, they stood out from the pack. They had attitude.

    Now when the first few chords of Sweet Child of Mine play, is there anyone on earth who doesn’t recognize that tune and have a memory associated with it?

    I actually wanted to hear him play the epiphone lp, it'd be interesting to hear him play through a $200 guitar, a nice one for $200 too. (It wont compare to a Gibby but for $200 who gives a flying fuck what it compares to)

      Andrew Gamer it wasn't cheap. it was a hand made replica, made by a famous luthier to the exact spec of a 59. It was on par, if not better than a customs shop Les Paul.

      I'm quite surprised that he didn't just solo the whole time. When I pick up a guitar, my first instinct is to play it. It would be just as frustrating to try not to play it as it is to watch him without playing it. Slash likes to play more than he does to talk. People need to let him play.
