I was introduced to Saul Hudson better known as Slash, at the age of 11; I was pushed aside by the society for my odd taste in music. As a kid, I was into hard rock. The first band I fell in love with was guns’ and roses. Songs like November rain and Sweet Child o’ Mine . I actually saved my recess money and bought their debut album Appetite for Destruction , 50 cents per day, 40 days of starvation.  I didn’t have a CD player, so I bought the cassette, and it was worth every penny. I played it over and over again on my walkman, at one point the tape came out. I was bummed
I’ve grown up listening to slash. At the age of 17 I decided to start playing the guitar. I got my interested by watching slash perform on TV and youtube. I try to imitate his moves. I still do need loads of practice, I’m still a rookie.  Slash has posed as a role model in my life, mostly the guitar-part. I would say I’m his biggest fan , more like a stalker .
“…It`s not so much how good a player you are, it`s how cool you are”.-Slash

Slash is my favourite rockstar, why? Simple. He’s different from the rest. He has a different sense in style. It’s unique. Slash has his signature “top hat” and his Gibson Les Paul. Slash is my personal favourite from the beginning. He knows how to rock his guitar. He gives young people the interest, to play the guitar, he gives them hope or at least for me, he did. He also is willing to teach some of his riffs on youtube. This is excellent. It helps those who can’t afford to take up guitar class. Slash’s has almost impossible guitar solos, in my point of view, no one can beat that. Slash has the best solos like on november rain,sweet child of mine and welcome to the jungle. Slash is also a decent guitar player . He also helps the needy , Slash and McKagan appearing with the band Great White at a “Children of the Night” Benefit concert in LA for abused homeless children, it helped raise money for housing to aid the underprivileged .
So tell me , what’s not to love about the God Of Rock ?
“I don`t think it (his guitar) is a phallic symbol. I don`t think it is a symbol for anything. Basically, as far as what I use it for it`s just something to hide behind, because I`m quite shy”. - Slash Name: Gloria Charles

Hi! Good day to all of you.Ok, lets make it simple and quick! , I love Slash since he’s with Gun n Roses! November Rain is one of my all time favourite songs ever! No one can ever play like him, he’s the guitar goddest of all!.He will always be my rock star forever.He got his own style, charisma, identity and he is also humble and friendly (even tho i haven’t met him live, but i know he is! i can feel it. )  . He mesmerized all of his fans and who ever watched him play only by his strings.The musics that he play with his guitar, has their own stories whether sad or happy and also his telling all of us how precious is life.He’s telling a stories through his music.Honestly, for me, no one can ever do that.I respect him for who he was…He is one of the legend in this music industries just like Michael Jackson i must say.As far as for me, i deserve to win this contest because this is my only chance and its a once in a lifetime chance to see my favorite artist played live in front of my two eyes.It’s a dream come true! and you dont have any idea how big it means to me!. His music is always with me and my soul.Slash is my eternity love..may god bless his soul always! Thank you! Regards, Lynn Fauzi.

hi. my name is Mohd Aniq Nazmin Bin Shaik Othman. I have posted in my blog,

http://aniq6ft2pbj1234.blogspot.com/2010/07/why-slash-is-my-favourite-rockstar.html.

This is the blog post.

i still remember it clearly. that unmistakable beat that you never want to end. i heard it again, this time while watching the show melodi, tv3 two sundays ago. They were covering Slash, had a phone interview and included in the programme, the famous song, Sweet Child O’ Mine with the guitar tune that is the heartbeat of the song. One of the many famous songs Slash make famous.

immediately i went to post on facebook, asking if anybody is interested to follow me to see the Slash concert in KL. very few songs can quite move a person that way, and was surprised to see the reaction i had myself. i am sure i am not the only one who feels this way. the magic that is music. or is it the music that is magical? same difference i guess!

i was just back from a holiday trip in singapore,last thursday until monday, meeting up with my friends there. one of my friends is a big fan of slash. we discussed about slash, and i found out he is going to watch slash, in singapore….. alone!!! it is because nobody wanted to accompany him.

it is funny that we always appreciate people around us, including artiste….. fully appreciate them when it is too late. why choose to wait when the time is here now? i have been persuading people to follow me to KL too, but no one seem to be really interested. but i will keep on persuading. Why? Because nobody plays the guitar like he does. Let me know when you find someone else who does.

Slash makes guitar looks like it was part of his body,part of his hands if you like, much like how people associate the ball as part of Lionel Messi’ feet.

Carole King, Ray Charles Stevie Wonder and even Ella has collaborated with this guitar genius, and also someone that goes by the name of Michael Jackson, to the mix.

I stumbled upon the story of how Slash had the top hat look while reading The Star, on Monday 26th of July.

“I was walking down the street and looked in a store window and saw this top hat and it almost spoke to me. I went in and managed to ‘obtain’ the hat and its been something i’ve been associated with since.

His music has spoken to many. In the midst of today’s hip hop culture and dance music, Slash rock music will continue to live. “Hats” off to him. He’s been proven right so far.
