Its obvious when you think about. When was the last time there was a HUGE world-famous rock band with killer riffs and hair-raising guitar solos...with a famed frontman and a famed guitar god? There were a bunch of them in the 1960s, 1970s, and the 1980s, and each of those bands inspired the future generations. Well, the LAST band that had those qualities was Guns n' Roses. Post Guns n Roses, rock went on a decline in sales...the guitar solo died...and rap became mainstream etc.
And because of that, Slash was the last true guitar god with profound effect on the image, style and the sound of the art of playing guitar. There are many guitar virtuosos out there today, but either these virtuosos had been around since the 1970s or 80s (Vai, Satriani, Malmsteem etc) or they are new and young, but not well known enough to make an impact (Laiho, Synyster Gates, and more etc) and solidify their reputation and their influence to future generations. Slash really was the last one
Greets Slash and fans. I am willing to donate $1,500 of my own cash for the opportunity to join you guys on stage for a live performance of your audition tune work name "Clappy" I was sent the tune (instrumental) by your management and told to write lyrics, and sing on the track. I did and sent back in less than 5 days.

I work hard at what i do, yet i don't get paid for it. I'm seeking performance-based donations or full time wage for the hours of game developing work, which i can prove to you entirely. All i want is somebody to admire and respect and merit my work ethic and that i'm a real person with real needs. Everybody else online seem to be looking for a fast buck, but not me, that's why i'm different. For more info click on my username, to see the video, then my webpage.

What is the name of the background music played in the end of the video?
Gugalnunes 2 years ago
It's Slash's new song "Sahara" feat. Koshi Inaba on vocals.
It has been released as a single in Japan on November 11. The bonus track is a new version of Paradise City feat. Fergie and Cypress Hill.
Both songs are awesome !!!

Anyway, awesome he's doing the project!

I think it's the contrary, when people is loosing hair in the top of their head, it's better to keep the hat on, specially if it's a cool hat

@fazcuna i can picture him regretting it in the mid 90's, and now knowing it's essential.
kinda like daft punk, they can't really back down on it now.
