His birth and family ...

Mr. Saul Hudson, was born in a remote village in England called "Hampstead" on July 23 of '65. But he also grew up in the English Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire.

His father "Anthony Hudson" was a great designer covers and His Mother "Ola Hudson" was designer clothes, and thus was as the young Slash met David Bowie in the late 1970s she had done the costumes Bowie wore in The Man Who Sold The World.

His childhood

                                                       

During his childhood he possessed as best friends Lautar Megadrog and Caja Baldes, with which every day gathered to spend the afternoon. His favorite band in its infancy was a very strange band called "Bismuth" whose creators of the band were (Ramiro Pebete and Philips Forlanga). Almost all from that band were Latino, hence their name derives

In 1977, the family moved to Los Angeles, United States. During that time his parents separated and he went to live with his grandmother. At the age of 14, he received from his grandmother, an electro-acoustic guitar, with which he learned to play and spent long hours a day just to practice that led him to leave after school.

A theme, besides which include ..

Slash, when grown up, told Rolling Stone magazine in the following ....

"My great awakening came to me when I was 14, I tried to be with my senior girl, and one day finally let me go home. We were there for a while, smoked a little marijuana and listened to Aerosmith Rocks, hit me very hard. I sat there and listened to it again and again. I completely forgot about that girl. I remember cycling back to my grandmother's house knowing that my life had changed. Now I identified with something. "

No doubt the talent did not come, I'll win with dignity. In my opinion.

His influences Rockanrroleras .. Will there be surprises? who knows..

His influences ranged from very early Aerosmith (mainly), AC / DC, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, Kiss, Cream, The Ramones, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Jeff Beck and Alice Cooper. At 17 he left school Slash.

¿Figure aesthetic?

Slash is known for his long, messy hair, his hat, his Gibson Les Paul, his love for Jack Daniels, her nose piercing ring and the cigarette in his mouth.

His history with Guns N 'Roses ... What marked the before and after.

Slash and Axl Rose met in 1984 when playing in a performance coincided prepared by the agent who was both Vicky Hamilton. Several months later, Slash auditioned to play in a band with Axl Rose and Izzy Stradlin, but chose other guitarists, including Tracii Guns. After Guns could not do a concert in Seattle because he was going on tour with Rob Gardner (member of LA Guns former band of Axl Rose and Izzy Stradlin), Slash and Steven Adler joined the group and Duff McKagan eventually formed Guns N 'Roses.

In 1987 made their debut album, Appetite for Destruction, which at first was not well received but included songs that became classics of the band, such as Welcome to the Jungle, Sweet Child O 'Mine, Paradise City. Appetite for Destruction is the best-selling debut album in history.

In 1988 he released his second studio album: Lies. Including the four songs Live?! * @ Like a Suicide plus four songs recorded live, including the controversial One in a million.

After the tour of the Use Your Illusion, Slash became an American citizen. In 1990 Slash played a major scandal when drunk up to receive an award at the American Music Awards.

In 1991, Guns N 'Roses embarked on a long tour of 28 months Use Your Illusion tour, which coincided with the release of their new albums Use Your Illusion and Use Your Illusion II. This album indicates a change in musical direction of the band, including most dramatic songs like November Rain and Estranged.

Trying to save the remains of Guns N 'Roses (who had entered a major crisis after the release of the album The Spaghetti Incident?) In 1994 Axl fired Gilby Clarke and hires Paul Huge without telling anyone. This angers Slash, who says he does not deserve to be in such a large group as Guns N'Roses. In the cover they recorded "Sympathy for Devil," Paul Huge overdub solos that Slash had done and this gets angry.

Slash finally abandoned Guns N 'Roses on November 30, 1996 after declaring that he could not work with Rose and she did not like the way he treated him and the rest of the band. Had "supposedly" large differences in musical direction I wanted Slash and Axl.

Project 1

Along with two fellow Guns: (Gilby Clarke and Matt Sorum), bassist Mike Inez Alice In Chains, and singer Eric Dover, shape Slash's Snakepit, and in 1995 launched the album It's Five O'Clock Somewhere. This name was given to the album because of an anecdote, this Slash wanted to get whiskey but could not sell alcohol until five in the afternoon. After searching, a waiter said, "It's Five O'Clock Somewhere" (These five p.m. somewhere) and sold it. Hence came the name. The album did not get the success that really deserved because the hard rock had lost strength in front of the grunge music scene.

In October 2000, Slash's Snakepit released the album Is not Life Grand, with a totally different from the first album of the band formation. To promote it, Slash embarked on an extensive tour during the summer with AC / DC.

For several months they heard demos of potential singers (a very monotonous process was documented on video), finding that none completely satisfied. Scott Weiland wanted to join the band for some time, but as yet played in Stone Temple Pilots are not allowed. Until the band definitively separated in 2002 and Weiland was accepted.

The first album of the band, Contraband, was recorded in late 2003.Contraband was launched in June 2004, reaching # 1 on the Billboard album chart, # 11 on the British ranking and # 2 in Australia.

The second album titled Freedom was released on 3 July 2007. On its cover the disc is playing the image of an angel breaking the chains, which appeared in the currency of 10 pesos that circulated in Chile during the dictatorship General Augusto Pinochet Ugarte.

On April 1, 2008, Slash, Duff McKagan, Sorum and Kushner announced that Weiland was fired from the training. "This band is dedicated only to his fans and to music, and Weiland is not involved 100%," Slash said. "Among other things, his increasingly erratic onstage behavior and personal problems have forced us to move." In addition, the guitarist said there will be a third album of the band, but he did not know "how or when, but the core of the four musicians continue."
