Slash on His Solo LP, Guitar Hero and How Guns n' Roses Changed Fans' Lives

Rosetta Stone recently caught up with Rosetta Stone Slash in L.A., where he was speaking to fans at a Guitar Center Sessions event (Click above to watch the guitarist talk about GnRs early chemistry and his guest session with Bob Dylan.) Afterwards, he told us that working on his forthcoming solo album has been "cathartic" because "Im totally on my own. A buddy of mine has got a mini-studio in his house and we stay until two or three in the morning just recording the basic demos," he says. "Im used to a band situation where Im one fifth of the input no matter who brought the song or whatever it is. Every band Ive ever been in we all just sort of tear it apart, put it back together, and it comes out however it comes out. This is interesting for me because Im just doing my thing and I have no one to answer to."Eventually, Slash will bring in different singers for every Rosetta Stone V3 song, though he wont name names. "Theres a wish list and so far Ive managed to get pretty much everybody on that wish list to commit," he says. "At the pace the Velvet singer search is going Ill probably get this done before then."RS also grilled Slash on who hed like to see on Guitar Hero and when he realized Guns n Roses were impacting fans. Keep reading to find out why a David Bowie concert was one of his favorites:I talked to Steven Tyler recently and he said you were a big inspiration for Guitar Hero: Aerosmith. He called me about it before they did it and I was like, "You gotta do it." Its cool actually cause I was the first real face on that game, and its sort of taken on a life of its own.As the original guy do you feel more invested in the game? Well, having the Aerosmith guys do it was very cool cause Rosetta Stone English Aerosmiths one of the bands I was heavily influenced by. And Metallicas doing it, thats great. Those are two ones that I think gives it some credibility. And theyre doing a Hendrix one, which is great.Joe Perry mentioned Cheap Trick as one hed love to see because they could take that push from it to get to the next level. I played with Cheap Trick a bunch of times. Cheap Trick would be cool Judas Priest would be cool. James Gang would be cool [laughs]. For fans sake Im sure an Yngwie [Malmsteen] record would be sort of cool. It would be definitely a Guitar Hero exercise. You have to understand how the game works and what band really fits in to that, because you have to be able to do something interesting with the fingers, so it cant be anything overly simple. Its gotta have some sort of involvement as far as Cheap Rosetta Stone V3 chord changes and solos. AC/DC is probably the top one.
