Slash
As the lead guitarist for Guns N' Roses, Slash established himself as one of hard rock's finest and most soulful soloist during the late 80's, technically adept yet always firmly grounded in the gritty Aerosmith and Stones licks he loved.
Slash was born Saul Hudson on July 23, 1965, in Stoke-on=Trent, England, to artistic parents both involved in the entertainment industry; his mother was a clothing designer who worked on David Bowie's film The Man Who Fell to Earth, and his father designed album art for such artists as Neil Young and Joni Mitchell. The family eventually moved to Hollywood, where Hudson attended junior high, received his first guitar, and met future GNR drummer Steve Adler. With Hudson adopting the nickname Slash, give to him by a family friend, the two formed a band called Road Crew; although it proved unsuccessful, it was the vehicle through which they met and eventually joined up with the other members of Guns N' Roses.
