Slash ran into Steven Adler at age 14, which happened to own a guitar wich would turn the tables for Slash. Slash moved to Los Angeles in 1976.

By some accounts, Slash was putting 12 hours a day in guitar playing. Slash and Steven Adler eventually formed Road Crew in 1983.

Slash put an ad out in a newspaper and got a response from Duff McKagan. Duff joined Road Crew, but this group would eventually split up and become Hollywood Rose. Slash was Guns n' Roses lead Guitarist. Slash quit GNR in 1994 and formed Snakepit along with Gilby Clarke and Matt Sorum. His impressive skills are also in great demand as he's performed for countless well known artists from Rod Stewart to Michael Jackson.

Slash currently plays in the band called "Velvet Revolver".
