Silent Jay Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 (edited) Interview made for the french Slash forum The Pit Niko : Do you plain others LP Slash Signature?Slash : not at this time. But probably in future.Niko : Why don't you use the Talk Box anymore?Slash : I do. Just not on the last record.Niko : A lot of french ppl would like to see you in the south of France, not only Paris. Do you think it's possible?Slash : that really depends on the promoter. I suggest places all the time. But it depends if there is enough of a fan base to book a show.Niko : You wouldl have a lot of ppl in Lyon.Slash: We played with AC/DC in Nice.Niko : What a great place!! The "Cote d'Azur"^^Slash : Yes. We'll see if we can get a show down there again.Niko : Would you like to do again a Slash & Friends album? Or maybe a blues album?Slash : I might do another collaboration record one day. I don't know about an entire blues record.Niko : Why did your collaboration with Adam Day stop after VR ?Slash : VR didn't make enough money for me to afford Adam Day towards the end. I might hire him back one day.Niko : Will we have the chance to see old GNR footages such as AFD and UYI recording sessions pics and videos? Even if Axl owns all the rights do you think you could do something for us to see those footages ?Slash : There isn't any UYI session footage unfortunately.Niko : Do you intend to use the silver jub' in a near future again? (There is a reedition announced today by Marshall hahaha)Slash : in using one today actually.Niko : Do you know about some french bands? If yes which ones do you like?Slash : Gojira is my favorite metal band.Niko : Since the beginning of your professional career with Guns N'Roses, in your opinion, which component of your guitar approach has evolved in the more significant way?Slash : the ability to hear what I'm playing before I play it; song writing.Niko : Among all the musical collaborations that you were able to establish, is there one that you are particularly proud of?Slash : Ray Charles, Jerry Lee Lewis & James Brown. I grew up with them. & it was an honor to work with them.Niko : Which track on AFD was recorded at Can-Am studios ? Live tracks were made at Rumbo studios, overdubs at Take one studio, but what was made at Can-Am studio ?Slash : we recorded Shadow of your love with Mike Clink at Can Am as a demo.Niko : Did you get news for the Gold Top you were searching for? The one you used in the early 90'sSlash : no news.Niko : Someone told me you bought the re-issue of the Silver Jub'. Will you play live with it? Do you feel something special with this amp?Slash : I didn't buy a reissue. I do like those amps. But I don't think I like them more than JCM800Niko : Who are the guitarists that you particularly appreciate at this time?Slash : I like Dereck Trucks is cool. I like Synester Gates. I haven't heard very many real exciting new guitarists lately.Niko : Are you friend with some guitarists of the current GNR?Slash : I've never met any of them except for the guy who wears the top hat. I can't remember his name.Niko : What do you think about the new EMB wah? Will you use it live?Slash : What is EMB Wah?Niko : you used an EMB audio wah on the Use tour and apparently you bought the new one lately...Slash : Oh, those old ones? I'm not using one now. I have a Dunlop rack mount driving multiple wahs.Niko : Who is the rythm guitarist with whom you enjoyed the most when recording?Slash : I would have to say for a 2 guitar team, Izzy sounds the most interesting at the end of the day.Niko : Why did you choose to play all the guitars on your records since "Slash & Friends", conversely to previous records? Is it to feel more free during the songwritting?Slash : Myles played Rhythm gtr on Apocalyptic Love. But I like doing all the guitars because I know what I want the parts to sound like.Niko : Might you consider sharing again the guitar work in the studio for one of your next project?Slash : I will probably do all the guitars on the next one. Myles likes to focus on singing. Frank just does the live stuff. Niko : We all noticed that your sound noticeably changed since the Snakepit era. What drove your decision to make your sound evolve in this way?Slash : I don't consciously change my sound really. I just work with whatever it is I have on hand at the time.Niko : The itw is now finished, everybody thanks you a lot for your time and your kindess! Do you have a final message for french fans?Slash : Tell the French fans they're fucking awesome. I love them. I hope the answers satisfy. The questions are very specific. http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/slash-cant-remember-current-guns-n-roses-guitarist-dj-ashbas-name/ Edited May 18, 2015 by Silent Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to put up with Izzy the whole time. I never liked playing with him. It was wonderful to escape him on this record. It sounds tighter and so much cooler than anything we've done before. I always got irritated over Izzy's way of playing. It didn't sound right. Before "Spaghetti", we erased his guitar and Gilby put on a new one. It sounded perfect!- Slash, Okej November? 1993, http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/articles/showarticle.php?articleid=13. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't sound like Slash's "voice", and doesn't even match up with other interviews where he was critical of Izzy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nico_france Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Lol... I think this says much... His prefered guitar partner is Izzy, with whom he hasnt recorded since 24 years... At least, Slash is lucid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nosaj Thing Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Man, it's too bad he couldn't find the gold top he was looking for. And yes, Dereck Trucks is an incredible guitarist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moreblack Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 (edited) Not true that him and Izzy haven't recorded together in 24 years.They did a song together for his 2010 album.And he was in and out of VR for its early stages.

Slash2baz Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Seriously, Slash can barely remember what he has done last week so don't ask him to remember the name of Dj Ashba ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvH Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Didn't he do something with Richard before?I think they played on different songs on the same album, but never played together.Somebody correct me if I'm wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
