Let me start this out by saying: Slash is the coolest guitarist playing music today. I don’t care what anyone says, that’s my opinion and I’m stickin’ to it.

Now, on to Slash news. Apparently he’s set to write his autobiography with the help of ghost writer Anthony Bozza. Although the words ‘Slash’ and ‘memoires’ probably aren’t normally thought of together, his book should make for a very interesting read, and I can’t wait to see what Slash has to say.

After all, my first concert experience was at a Brian May and Guns N’ Roses concert. Not only were they the first bands that I saw play live in a large venue, I was able to pull some strings and work as security, first selling tee shirts with my friends, and then I convinced the head of security to let us into the show once Brian May started his set.

I’ll never forget when Guns N’ Roses came on stage, with the lights off, the first chords of the first song began. It was just amazing and I was able to walk around where I wanted as I proudly wore my security shirt. I remember having a short conversation with Axl’s security guard. He was cool - and very big. But what made it a day to remember was the fact that I was so close to Slash as he played his guitar!

Since Guns N’ Roses, Slash went on to form his own band Slash’s Snakepit and more recently he plays guitar with Velvet Revolver and will sometimes sit in with Camp Freddy.

At this point the only date given for Slash’s autobiography is that the memoirs are expected to be completed autumn 2007; publisher Harper Collins.
