Slash Music Quotations

So when I got to be about 13 or 14, I started listening - even though my parents music was way cool - to contemporary hard rock at that time, which was Aerosmith, Cheap Trick, Black Sabbath, AC/DC, Ted Nugent and all that, and that's just where I came from.

We had a really vast music collection and I was raised around rock'n'roll, it's just the way it was.

I love classical music. It has left a major mark on my playing.

Whenever society gets too stifling and the rules too complex, there's some sort of musical explosion.

... that's one of the cool things about going to local bars: seeing what people are doing and jamming with them. I'm a huge advocate of jamming with others; you learn a lot. So I love to go and do that - even if people wipe the stage up with you..
