Everyone's different. Me - I can't stand him. Just an average guitar player, and is usually horrible live. GNR has to be my least favorite band as well, partially because of him, mainly because of A#@hole Rose. Worst voice ever. Sounds like Janis Joplin taking a dump.

He does some great jazz/classical work. Every once in a while they play his stuff on NPR.

Slash is a pretty good guitarist. His main issue seems to be needing the right songwriting partner to bring out his best. unfortunately it would seem only Axl Rose fits that bill. His post GnR stuff has had some OK listenable moments, but it is light years away from appetite, and even the Use Your illusions stuff.

Guns N' Roses songs were for the most part written by Axl Rose and Izzy Stradlin or Slash and Izzy. On very few occasions was it Axl and Slash, I thnk only Coma, Locomotive and Estranged were just Axl/Slash. CC

I think he was the heart and soul of GnR because GnR sucks now imo. Anyways he's a better guitarist than i am. I'll say that for him.

I usually see him when my kids are playing Guitar Hero. He seems to be pretty good!

I think he's pretty good, I just prefer his G N'R material over Velvet Revolver and Slash's Snakepit...

I am pretty sure that most of the people commenting on this thread should be writing something like this.

He's got chops but I cannot listen to him for any length of time.

Actually, I could say the same about MANY of today's contemporary guitarists but we'll leave that for another post.

After I heared Buckethead's and Bumblefoot's ripping solos on the new Gn'R album, Slash's name is now Slush!
