I love how Slash is the first one to audition, because he will play a gig for ANYONE.

[@charlieross-BRM]

Not a big listener of GNR and they dripped menacing attitude on video (par for the style) BUT I have seen Slash on a short documentary where he's on his own and he's like a little kid, blushing and giggling. That was pretty disarming. A death metal guy I knew was a huge bear of a man but after an outdoor concert he'd talk for a while and then say, "Sorry but I have to get home before I'm late. Mom's putting on a supper for me and the guys." Just another real person.

Wow...my heart is breaking for the loss of Dusty Hill and Michael Stanley. Michael Stanley, who died March 5th beat incredible odds, having had a first heart attack at age 43 in 1991, had prostate cancer, later that year a second heart attack, underwent a successful quadruple bypass, lost his 3rd wife, Denise, to cancer, and then, his 4th wife, best friend of his 3rd wife, saw him succumb to lung cancer. This guy was a trooper, and I suspect that all his family members were, as well. God Bless his twins, and I send my condolences for the loss of their father. All of these guys, with a strong mention of Dusty Hill, brought joy into my life with, not only their personalities and personas, but in the sharing of their personally inspiring struggles, which made me love and appreciate them more as fellow human beings, as well as being crazy for their unique talents. You think God only likes that mushy, churchy music? Think again- God Rocks! He's the one that blessed them with their talents and abilities! No doubt in my mind about that one!

It's like David Gilmour--creative and soulful but a bit on the slower side.
