Slash, the lead singer AND guitarists for the band Guns N' Roses, he is known to the world as one of the most talented guitarists to ever play. Born July 23rd, 1965 in Stoke-on-Trent, England. His family was made of artists, and they had moved to Hollywood where he started playing guitar, and met Steven Alder, who was the first drummer of Guns N' Roses. Both together had made a band called Road Crew, but the music never shot off like they had hoped. But through making this band they had met the other members of the now band called Guns N' Roses. Guns N' Roses first debute was July 1985, and had received the notorious view of alcoholics and drug abusers far before Appetite for Destruction (follow this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appetite_for_Destruction). As the band grew famous though, Slash had made himself known as being the "visual image" for the band. At the live performance in 1990, Axl Rose, Guns N' Roses singer, had made it clear he would leave the band if some of the band members, who was Slash and Adler, had not stopped doing heroine.Slash stopped but Adler didn't so he was kicked from the band. Later on in the year of Slash's recover from heroine, he married actress and model Renee Sorum, but the marriage only lasted for five years. Releasing two more albums, entitledAfter the Use Your Illusion and The Spagetti Incident?, Slash had started a side band called Slash's Snakepit which consisted of the following members, Matt Sorum (Drummer), Gilby Clarke (Guitarist), Mike Inez (Bassist) and vocals Eric Dover. They released an album entitledIt's Five O'Clock Somewhere. But as rumors were spreading it was true that Slash left GNR, and went on to continue on with his guitar career, and to be known as one of the greatest guitarists to have ever walked the Earth.
