I love classical music. It has left a major mark on my playing.

I got the name Slash because I used to work in a grocery store and I was in charge of reducing prices for really big sales.

Originally, I wanted to call the band 'Guns 'n Robots.' I still believe that if we had just called ourselves 'Guns 'n Robots' we'd still be together.

An anagram of Axl Rose is oral sex. Why do I know? Because when I'm not playing music I love solving erotic jumbles.

I once asked Axl why he left the 'E' off his name. He started crying and said he thought he'd spelled it right.

If you were a kid and you wanted to come out and make a statement now, you'd have to really dig deep to find something that no one has exposed already.

I don't think there's anything better than hearing your favorite band live.
