Slash, born Saul Hudson on July 23, 1965, is a British-American musician and songwriter best known as the lead guitarist of the seminal rock band Guns N' Roses. His distinctive riffs, virtuosic solos, and top hat-and-sunglasses look have made him one of the most iconic guitarists in rock history. Slash's career skyrocketed in the late 1980s with Guns N' Roses' classic debut album "Appetite for Destruction," which delivered timeless hits like "Sweet Child o' Mine" and "Welcome to the Jungle." After his time with Guns N' Roses, he formed Slash's Snakepit and later co-founded the supergroup Velvet Revolver, continuing to leave his mark on rock music with his bluesy, ferocious playing style.

Beyond his band projects, Slash has cultivated a successful solo career. His recent releases, such as the "Universal Monsters Maze: Halloween Horror Nights 2018" soundtrack, showcase his versatility and capacity to create atmospheres with his guitar work. Collaborating with Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators has proven fruitful, yielding critically acclaimed albums like "4" and "Living the Dream." The live recordings "Living The Dream Tour" and "The Call of The Wild (Live)" capture the raw energy and prowess of Slash's performances. Whether through instrumental soundtracks or explosive live albums, Slash continues to captivate audiences with his virtuosity and dedication to his craft.
