Great riff from Slash. He always made a great effort when collaborating with others back then.

[@swiftslick]

The first time I saw this video I knew he'd bolt GN'R. Once Slash started working with Michael Jackson and Lenny Kravitz he became a in-demand session musician. Which probably made Axl into a raving lunatic.

[@OGh0st]

swiftslick Calling Slash a "session musician" is nothing but an insult to one of the most influential guitarists in the last 3 decades....the guy is a fucking legend and he didn't achieve that by being a session musician.
