Slash by Slash | Season 4: Ep. 4

The Rock Star Autobiography Podcast

Ingredients for the Slash cocktail: gallons of vodka, heroin, STDs, one top hat, and lots and lots of snakes. Stir, pour over ice, and then plug in your defibrillator!

You know you've made it big in the world or rock and roll when you no longer need a last name: Sting, Prince, Madonna. Add to that list Slash, lead guitarist of Guns n Roses. The readers of Total Guitar voted the opening riff of "Sweet Child O'Mine" as the greatest opening riff of all time, and Guns n Roses' last tour netted 584 million in cash. But who is the man under that infamous hat? What keeps that mass of snake-like hair going? The answer is, literally, state-of-the art technology (turns out that heroin isn't actually a vitamin). Tag along with Martha and Christian as they step into Slash's sweaty leather pants, shoplift their way through L.A., sleep around town, and live in fear of Axl Rose.
