The former Guns’ N Roses guitarist, Slash, has revealed that he was only 14 years old when he picked up the guitar for the first time.
“It wasn’t about bucks, it never was. It was about guitar, it was about music. I was 14 when I picked it up, 1980 I guess it was, I got turned on to it through Steve Adler. We were best friends at the time and he had one at his house, I got into it and I’ve
been hooked on it ever since”
“Prior to that I had no inclination to play an instrument whatsoever, I liked music but I was not aspiring to do anything in the music business, never even thought of it”, Slash said while giving an interview at Rockfest.
The 46-year-old versatile musician went on to reveal that it was a great evening at Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
“It was a special evening, it was definitely cool. I went into it with mixed feelings about the whole thing but when the time actually came it turned out to be a really great night and it was a cool feeling, a cool honour”
“There’s a certain kind of energy that you get at festivals, festivals are what make people know that rock and roll is alive and well. It’s one of the key things where everyone gets together and there’s this palpable energy that happens. It’s just great
to be a part of it”, Slash concluded.
