It’s a miracle that this guy is still here but I’m so glad that he is.

[@DerekFrampton]

1987... and STILL rockin' in 2024!

[@Barnstorm757]

Slash is an inspiration to keep playing and growing. When I was 12 I saw him in VR in Virginia Beach. I’m 30 now and he is still the man 🎩 🎸

[@WoodsboroPunk]

My favorite guitarist of all time. Been a fan since I was about 13/14 & just a few months ago I was able to meet him through a mutual friend who surprised me with a meet and greet at one of the Serpent Festival dates he did & he was awesome enough to sign my gold top. He even did the skully logo on it too ☠️🎩

[@cidlopez]

In 1996 slash played at a now closed but excellent venue in Fort Worth called caravan of dreams. It was one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. Easily top five over my life. He opened with superstition. Blew everyone away. After the show me and a buddy stuck around to see if slash would come out. He did. He sat at a table and chatted with us for a good 20 minutes. My god he’s such a nice and genuine person. Answered every question we asked. Gave me a pick that I still have.

Congratulations to all the musical artists who have participated. Great Slash. 👍👍👍

[@jamieb7799]

My fave album at the moment. Love the choices made and Slash’s playing & guitar selection is amazing. Long live the Blues ❤

[@BudgetRC_Channel]

Slash's new album is one of the best albums of the year, and it instantly became one of my favorite albums. His blues influence is obvious in everything he plays, so it was great to finally hear his version of a proper blues album.

[@stephenreese9841]

What an awesome interview Sweet!!! I've been on the ropes of thinking to purchasing this album... now off I go to get it.... Thank you Slash and accompaniers....

[@john564holloway]

I was there for the last show, Aug 17th. Please Slash, do this Blues Ball again! Incredible show from all!!

[@26OY]

Good lord how much love I have for him.

[@mertozelmusic]

Sincerely I thank you for the years of inspiration. Many blessings Slash...

[@Sleepforus]

I want the best for you. It has everything to do with your heart. 👑

[@RafaelRodrigues-k3b]

God bless Slash!!!

[@GazMoz78]

He's the reason I picked it up. Less of in influence as I've gotten older, but I still love the man 🙂

[@zachmcelfresh]

Love slash's guitar playing.

Sweetwater, cool video

[@pelimalol]

Very interesting insight into Slashs thinking

[@barianpixandvids]

Thoroughly enjoyable!

[@timmcvittie436]

Slash is just SO frickin cool!

[@luucdentoom6955]

Cool album art as well. I should have a listen!

[@Mpcoluv]

The new album is fantastic! The title is the old bad thing about it.

[@fredc5812]

Why is there a pic with Steven Tyler infront of a vocal mic???????? Harmonica, yes seen that, but he’s singing in the picture……………where’s that song?

[@Alfredo78666]

Yo Saul, how you managed to get this far without playing shiet?:-7

[@tito.tarantula]

My fave Slash album by far. Questionable album cover though. Blues classics are sexy AF but I don't identify them with this type of overly cartoonish imagery, which is just a modern rip-off of Eddie Barnes artwork. The real deal has movement and class.

[@pgrove]

Demi Lovato is awful but most of the other songs are fantastic.

[@MisterPoppy-sc1sj]

Slash est tellement nul

[@enricotoso]

Slash ha perso il suo accento Inglese del tutto

[@MrMonopolistic]

Doing black music, using black art on cover but didn’t see any black musicians 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@kylankurkendall278]

Gary Clark Jr, Tash Neal

[@alybriere4440]

Um Slash is black...

[@MrMonopolistic]

@@alybriere4440 “um” shows a low IQ and interracial means just that!

I would never buy and amp head for 5,000.00!? kids save your money! tone is all in the fingers.

[@ChrisP3000x]

Yeah, cause you know more than the greatest, most successful guitarists in the world.

[@brandonpoole1670]

@@ChrisP3000x You mean the ones trying to sell you a $5k head? They didn’t get famous playing those.

[@ChrisP3000x]

@@brandonpoole1670 of course not. The greatest, most successful guitarists never concerned themselves with gear. They learned from people like YOU that it's ALL in the hands. EVH did it all wrong. You forgot to tell him!

[@brandonpoole1670]

@@ChrisP3000x I’m not the OP. Just saying that most rock lords played stock gear or some studio equipment they stumbled upon before ever being able to collaborate on signature gear. And it’s true, 90% of what you hear is in the hands. For instance, if Picasso painted on toilet paper, people would be clamoring for reproductions printed on Scott 1000. And EVH did do it all wrong imo because I don’t like his music. Talented player tho, just not my cup of tea.

[@ChrisP3000x]

@@brandonpoole1670 exactly! YOU know better.

[@ChrisP3000x]

Great video! Slash is awesome. So cool that he donates proceeds from his S.E.R.P.E.N.T. festival to woke social justice orgs.

[@MrAwesomeSaucesome]

Woke killed my dog 😢

[@tierefuerimmer9635]

To a certain degree rock is "woke" if you think about because it's about rebelling against the norm, which is conservative and Beatles made Black Bird to rebel against racism

[@ChrisP3000x]

@@tierefuerimmer9635 The cool thing is that when buying a ticket, a woke social justice group is supported. So awesome!!!
