    His top hat is like Angus Young’s school uniform. When you see it you know who it belongs to.
  • @Rockmachine99
    I always like Slash; he always has, and still does comes across as a solid dude.
  • @JohnnySnipshow
    One of the coolest things I've ever heard is in the Strombo interview with slash and he said slash would be recognizable from just a shadow or silhouette
  • @thejonathanrath
    The hat didn't make him famous, his insane guitar playing did...🤘

    how nice watching this video was, hearing slash talking about the old days and how they work their music until getting to the use your illusion records, that is pretty amazing. looking axel with the scottish skirt, that time was just pretty wild and looking back to that time is very emotional to me. i was like 13 or so at the time, but i was so into their music. it is interesting how these kind of top amazing works get done, you get to understand how certain processes can take up to something that is unique and with great quality as their music is. Cant wait for the new record, that is going to be something special i believe.
  • Its good to see you Slash! Both guys has a remarkable hairstyle! They kinda look alike with a hat on!

    Probably got inspiration from Marc Bolan from T. Rex. Check out the album cover of T. Rex’s The Slider
