SLASH is the best guitarist of his generation IMO

Of course strictly an opinion, but there's no denying that his intros and solos as lead guitarist for guns n roses are the most legendary since APPETITE FOR DESTRUCTION was released in Aug 1987, with such classic openers to WELCOME TZO THE JUNGLE, Sweet Child O' Mine, as well as his monster double solos in the middle of November Rain..

GUNS N' ROSES APPETITE FOR DESTRUCTION IS A MUST FOR ANY FAN FROM LIGHT ROCK TO HEAVY METAL.. If you like Sweet child, welcome to the jungle and paradise city they are just some of the gems on that 20 million plus albums sold...

He brought back that killer hard rock bluesy sound that was missing during the 80's hair metal times... He continues to rock and be sought after by artists from every walk of music from the late michael jackson (black or white as well as history and his beat it from 95 MTV VMAS along with michael jackson's tribute back in the early 2000's playing Beat It)) to being the lead guitarist on the Hey Joe live performance with The Hendrix Band rock tribute a few yrs back along with the rock honors for KISS playing lead on God of Thunder..

Wether GnR , Slash's Snakepit, Slash's blue ball, Velvet Revolver, Camp Freddy, his new album playing with everyone in the business from Ozzy to Wolfmother & his endless team ups with everyone from Zakk Wylde, Jimmy Page, Joe Perry, Dave Navarro, Michael Jackson, and tons n tons of others.. He continues to play straight up hard rock, either rocking his vintage Les Paul, or his double neck 12 string playing Wish You Were Here..

A barely known song Called "Street Child" (not sweet child o' mine) he plays briefly but he actually makes the guitar cry with bluesy rock edge..

He is always top 5 as far as guitarist lists go either from the fans or his peers... So either youtube some songs or pick up gn'r albums AFD, lies, and the two amazing albums USE YOUR ILLUSIONS 1 & 2.. Gems like Civil War, You Could Be Mine, to the amazing solos on UYI2 ESTRANGED, and UYI 1 called COMA, along with DON'T CRY, etc.. ENjoy one of the most amazing players of our time, only in his early 40's and has enough playing for 2-3 life times..
