The most outstanding musical genius, the true soul of the band, formulated the band's purpose and guided the band's progress.

He is a workaholic, but he is rational. He never acts arbitrarily and always discusses things with everyone.

They are cautious about what to do and how to do it. SLASH is the only person in the band who comes from a musical family.

His father is a cover designer of Geffen Records, and his mother is also a fashion designer.

Influenced by pop music since childhood, I like singers of various styles.

Especially appreciate Rolling Stone, Led Zeppelin, Blacksmith,

He thinks Jimmy Page (the lead guitarist in Led Zeppelin) has the greatest influence on him.

SLASH,1965 was born in Hampton, London, England on July 23rd, and grew up in Stafford Dehler, England. His mother is black in America and his father is white in England. Both sides are artists and both work in the entertainment circle. His mother is a fashion designer and her clients are mainly entertainers. There are unforgettable customers like David Bowie. His father mainly provides artistic direction for recording, and his two famous clients are Neil Young and Joni Mitchell.

At the age of eleven, SLASH's parents left England and moved to Los Angeles alone. Born in Britain, I can only be regarded as an immigrant in the United States, and I have been single for several years. Finally, the family was reunited in Los Angeles, where SLASH went through a difficult transition because Southern California was still conservative. Long hair, jeans and T-shirts seemed out of place with other children at that time. Outside school, he leads a bohemian life at home. Influenced by his parents' artists and friends, SLASH has become accustomed to the extremes and emotions in the music industry. Joni Mitchell, David Geffen, David Bowie, Ron Wood and iggy pop are all frequent visitors to the Hudson family. SLASH said that these environments have prepared him for the pressure of music and the conflict between business and art in the future.

In the mid-1970s, his parents divorced. SLASH had to move in with his beloved grandmother until he could tell the difference at home. Around this time, SLASH found the BMX team, so he joined them and rode passionately. It is not surprising that SLASH almost never brakes when riding a bicycle, so he naturally became a professional BMX rider and won many awards and bonuses.

/kloc-started middle school at the age of 0/5. SLASH's grandmother gave him a guitar. Although he has only one string, he can still practice playing it. SLASH's early music was mainly influenced by Leitzen, eric clapton, Rolling Stones, Smith Spacecraft, jimi hendrix, jeff baker and neil young. He thinks the rock and roll of Smith Spacecraft Records changed his life. This is a rare opportunity in his life to play music with his idol. The performances in Paris with jeff baker and joe perry were very influential. He also played with eric clapton, the king of guitar. SLASH has also collaborated with many other artists, including Lenny Klowitz, paul rogers, iggy pop, Michael Jackson and Brian May.

Soon he threw his bike aside and devoted all his energy to guitar practice at least 12 hours a day. He often skipped classes and sat on a bench all day practicing guitar, so his lessons began to fall behind. Although he encountered problems in school, he became more sociable. Other children began to think SLASH's behavior was cool, and now he is no longer a forgotten person in society. SLASH began to join bands that kept joining other young musicians. SLASH finally had to give up studying at school, and 1 1 grade was expelled. However, another kind of education is waiting for him, and that is the band world in Los Angeles.

He met Stephen Adle and set up a road film crew. At that time, they were short of a singer. Then he met izzy stradlin, who sang many w·AXL· Ross songs for SLASH. So SLASH went to see AXL's performance and immediately had the idea of catching him, but the two Indians were very good friends. Later, SLASH found his bassist duff mckagan, who came to him according to SLASH's advertisement in the newspaper. All players change each other together, but the crystallization is guns and roses! Coupled with their innate talent and many tours, the band began to become an internationally renowned group.

However, after a legendary tour, Gun Rose began its doomed decline, and SLASH became an American citizen. Because he thought it was a waste of time to lose his green card because of all kinds of troubles in immigration, he simply joined American citizenship. At this time, he seldom takes a break and is bent on forming a new band as another way for him to continue his irreparable GNR career. Later, Matt Solom, Gilbert Clark, Mike inez, Eric Dover and Slash formed a new Snake Cave band and recorded Somewhere at Five o'clock.

SLASH was never a man who couldn't stay at home, so he continued to travel with his band. At that time, besides himself, there were other members: Gilby Clarke, Brian Teach, James Lomeso and Eric Dover. SLASH, don't mind performing in a small venue. He can blend in naturally with the audience of the club. And the record "It's Five o'clock Somewhere" began to become famous all over the world, and SLASH said that the Snake Cave band would come back again.

1In the summer of 996, SLASH was invited to perform at the Bruce concert in Budapest, Hungary. He found several musical actors from his peers to go to Europe together. From the beginning, they were called "SLASH's Blues Ball". Although this band has never recorded a record, it is still sought after by sponsors and their fans.

At the same time, however, SLASH is promoting the merger of Axl Rose and Guns N'Roses. The two bands talked about the development direction of band music. SLASH thinks GNR is a rock band, but Axl Rose wants to develop electronic music with GNR. After a series of meetings and heated discussions, SLASH quit GNR in 1996 10, but the name of the band still kept the word Rose. SLASH didn't hide at home and worry about it. On the contrary, he was busy with his blues band. This band mainly plays some blues music, so they can start jazz performances directly. From the end of 1996 to the autumn of 1997, SLASH's blue ball band traveled all over the clubs in California and went deep into the north and south. But they will soon retire temporarily or only perform occasionally, so you can't understand SLASH at all.

When SLASH left Guns N'Roses, many of his fans, including the media, wanted to know what his talent and personality would do next. At first, people thought that the disagreement between Axl and SLASH was only temporary and would eventually end in reconciliation. SLASH also said that Axl Rose is willing to go back as long as she takes the road of rock records. When Rose filled GNR with hired musicians and some unknown people, SLASH made it clear that Snake Cave was his forever band. He said that he could perform with his old band once in a while, or take a short trip, but he would never perform with the misnamed Guns and Roses.

As promised, SLASH came back with his Snake Cave band! He has auditions for more than 300 musicians who want to join his band. Then he determined that Matt Laug (a former member of Venice Band) was the drummer of his band; Johnny Gripari (formerly SLASH's blues ball) is a bass player. The first guitarist was Ryan Roxey, a member of Dad's porn magazine and alice cooper. He participated in the recording of previous records, but later went to another band. SLASH then successfully invited the great Keri Kelli as the band's second guitarist. The lead singer of the band is the newcomer Rod Jackson, a rag doll band from Virginia. The band's new album was released in the United States on June 10, 2000, and the title song was "Not the grandeur of life" with a cheerful rhythm.

SLASH's Snake Cave started their tour in the northern United States, which greatly increased the band's exposure. The Snake Cave Band achieved excellent results in the Far East tour, and then began their European tour in June165438+1October of the same year. In February, 200 1, the band made a club tour in the United States and achieved good results. But in March 1 1, SLASH got the flu and the rest of the show had to be cancelled. Subsequently, the band began to perform AC/DC in the United States in March, but SLASH's flu has turned into pneumonia. It is hard to imagine that such an energetic person is now knocked down by illness, and it is not long. SLASH resumed in 200 1 may and began to plan the next tour.

This time, SLASH doesn't look at his current band and album the way he used to. 1995 He pays more attention to relaxing and enriching time. Now the band has been carefully planned and organized, but SLASH still continues the original rock music that his fans love.

Soon, SLASH's Snake Cave band will release a new album. SLASH claimed that the band's new album was halfway recorded, so they could go out on tour again soon. Then there will be more opportunities to meet fans and perform live music.

SLASH's life was once regarded as a symbol of decadent rock music, but he made people give up this view in his own way. SLASH used to be addicted to drugs, but now he has given up for several years. He is also known for his excessive drinking, and he also smokes Marlboro and Gallitano.

Since SLASH fell in love with Renee Su Ran, his life began to change dramatically. They got married in June1992+1October 10 in Marina del Rey, California. Renee didn't join the rock queue, but everyone knows that she is a beautiful and lovely girl who has always loved SLASH. She loves her career-model and actress. The couple co-starred in Howard stern's film "Private parts". But in the autumn of 1997, they parted ways, but they were still friends.

After the divorce, SLASH ran to Las Vegas, where he met a young woman he had known for many years. Her name was Pella Ferrer, and they started dating frequently. Finally, they began to live together, and soon fans could see Perla on the Snake Cave tour, in the club or on TV. This shows that Perla has a particularly important position for SLASH. In 2000, they got engaged. The dazzling diamond ring worn by Pera was designed by SLASH himself. In the same year 65438+1October 65438+May, they held a grand religious wedding in Maui. The bride wore a white wedding dress, no suspenders and wrinkles, and a bunch of flowers in her hand, which matched her long brown hair. SLASH is wearing brand-new black leather shorts and a white shirt. His black jacket and wreath match the bride's flowers. All fans, friends and family deeply wish them a happy marriage. Later, the couple returned to Los Angeles and planned to buy a house there. In February 2002, SLASH and Perla announced that they would have their first child in September! SLASH's lifestyle has changed a lot in recent years, from an avid rock singer to her husband now, and she will soon become a father. But some things haven't changed at all-Slash's obsession with music, his wife, his fans, his friends, the climate in California and his home in Los Angeles. If you live in the sunset Boulevar area, you may meet SLASH hanging out with his wife, friends or bands. He looks very healthy and happy, but you can still see his enthusiasm for rock music in his eyes.

When talking about some of his TV and movies, SLASH said he didn't want to be an actor. He just loves music and enjoys playing with many artists. When he was young, he organized one band after another. Now he hasn't changed much. He is always looking for every opportunity to play music. One of his relatives nicknamed him "SLASH". He said SLASH is always busy and has endless things to do, so it really lives up to its name.

As the chief guitarist of the first generation of Hua Gun, his band began to become an internationally renowned group. However, after a legendary journey, Slash tried his best to cooperate with the merger of Axl Rose and Guns N'Roses. The two bands talked about the development direction of band music. Slash thinks GNR is a rock band, but Axl Rose wants to develop electronic music with GNR. After a series of meetings and heated discussions, Slash quit GNR in 1996 10, but the name of the band still kept the word Rose.
