- CNN's Piers Morgan asks legendary guitarist Slash whether he'd ever reunite with Axl Rose and Guns N' Roses.
Slash on his new album, his relationship with Axl Rose and being a Halloween costume
Lisa France byline
By Lisa Respers France
Slash says the recording of his latest album was "quite an adventure" and "a memorable experience."
"We went in and we did this album live," he told CNN in a recent interview. "We did it in about five days. It was a lot of fun to make."
The not so fun part, he said, was that they all caught Covid despite being extremely careful, including traveling to Nashville to record via bus so they could avoid flying on planes. Slash said it happened just after he got vaccinated and thankfully everyone is recovered and well.

This is the first time I've heard Slash speak. Awesome.
Jeremy White Slash has been sober for quite a long time. I don't get why you're dissing him being in the media a lot unless you're just jealous. He's totally gracious here. He does his best to not talk shit about Axl. In fact ANY time he's ever been asked about G'n'R' he does his best to downplay the negative & remind people that he's moved on. It's old news. Slash seems like a decent guy so I don't get why you seem to think he deserves hate.
Jeremy White You are sooooooo jelly.

While I wouldn't say all of a musician/bands fans are alike, making generalizations like those are just as much making insults as the name calling of common schoolyard bullies. The fact is there are always exceptions to every walk of life. Commenter who is telling others to kill themselves just bcuz their opinion or comment is disagreeable to his/her sensibilities is the worst kind of schoolyard bully bcuz they have the mindset of self important entitled ppl who think that their opinions matter more than valid points or facts. If everybody understood that the opinions of some random stranger are not going to change how everyone else feels about something, then there'd be no need for haters bcuz ppl would do what they like & ignore what they don't like. But ppl don't understand, so there's haters & bullies. About Slash, he plays with feeling more than obsessing about technical prowess. If all that mattered to ppl were technical prowess, than Yngwie Malmsteen would be more widely known, but Slash's playing is more relatable to most bcuz of his style & feel even though some of the solos are fairly simple that many ppl can copy them, the difference is that not as many would've came up with them. Copying tabs is one thing, but improvising & writing is a completely different matter. I sure as hell don't have the skills that Slash has, but for the songs I write & the lead I play, it's all feel & by ear. I can't read music, I don't know scales or theory, but I'll remember patterns for certain sounds. I have absolutely no technical ability or prowess, but I have my own style or "flavor" that's different. Technically there's no such thing as originality, just different "flavors" of styles & such. I figure that anything I do or think of has already been done or thought of, but it's my own flavor that is unique. Same goes for Slash, though I think he's got more originality in that I don't know who else was doing what he was at the time wearing the top hat, his style, even his playing posture. Nowadays, there's a lot of copy cats, but back in the mid to late 80's, I don't think there were many top hat wearing lead guitarists! Nobody has to like or hate anything, but knocking others for what they like is just weak. Why bother watching something you don't like? If ppl want to be bitter & hateful, then that's their prerogative, but knocking others for what they like or trying to convince others that their opinions are wrong just shows how insecure they are. As if trying to control others to have the same exact mindset & opinions is going to make things better. That's just as unoriginal as average generalizations. "Conform & be just like me, or else..." rather than just accept that other ppl feel differently about things & leave it at that. If everyone was exactly alike, then everything would stagnate. Variety is necessary to move forward, & contrary opinions promote arguments that can breed new ideas. Otherwise, what's the point of even existing? Anything & everything is something to someone somewhere! Who's to say otherwise? (Besides hateful, bitter, insecure ppl, that is!) RocknRoll!
Jeremy White If you think Slash was terrible cause he was wasted in the best time of his career then I wonder what you think of Jimi! Haha
The title of this video should be: Slash' last words to Axl Rose interrupted by Piers Morgan
its cnn fake news
Thats what he does best.
Problems with this video: 1) it’s cnn 2) it’s piers Morgan.
Also, Piers drools over Slash's money "7 figures? 8 figures?" Wipe your chin, old man~!
Ah , Piers the guy that came to America and bitched about our guns. So we quit watching him. His show tanked. And now he's back where he belongs.
For everything that Slash has been through he is remarkably articulate and well-spoken.
Maybe the stuff he’s been through is part of what makes him that way. He certainly seems pretty at piece.
Thank you
what he been trou , drugs ?
Ya what a terrible life, Rock Star, Millions of Dollars, never having to work for a living. Sleeping with hundreds or thousands of beautiful women. How did he recover from this trauma.
You mean for everything that's gone through Slash....
And here we are and him and duff have been back in the band for 6 years
Really? Didn't think I'd see a recent comment. That's good news
Maybe I'm not looking hard enough, but every time I hear Slash speak, he always comes off as such a gentleman.
I would love to sit down and have a beer with this guy.
I agree. Slash sounds like he completely has his act together.
I absolutely agree , Slash is a gentleman very humble .
Beatrice Karau
Then perhaps a milkshake.
serialclone his sober now but i agree dudes fucking awesome
Yeah everytime I hear him talk I feel like he's a great guy
i think slash didn't take his hat and shades of since the 90s
He wont take his hat off now becaus hes almost completely bald on top--he has a real shiney head so with the showbiz lights the light is blinding bouncing off his bald head,
They've been on so long he actually CANT take them off. They're permanently bonded to his head.
😂
These comments LOL 😂😂😂😂😂
His hat is his hair
Im glad that they decided to get back together again. I just saw them last night at the rose garden and it was the best concert ive ever seen. Axl, slash and duff were amazing, and the new guitar player is almost as good as slash. Hes incredible in his own right and the whole band was just fucking awesome
Richard fortus nuevo?...paul tobias suplanto a gilby clarke...una año y poco mas...en 2002 llego richard fortus...hace 20 años es un gunners...y toco con todos buckethed izzy de invitado r.finck bumblefoot dj asbha angus young cuando lo subio con guns ...en un real gunner por derecho adquirido..y encima ahora toca con slash...un privilegiado
Richard Fortus isn't "new". He's the 3rd longest tenured member of the band behind Axl and Dizzy
@@MattyIcecubesnewer than slash.
For tus no es un gunners. VIVA IZZY@@mariaisabelherrera2407
I am so happy that they got back and are still touring around the world. One of my wish while growing up was to watch them play live and on 27 November 2022 it got fulfilled. It was an amazing show here in Sydney. Guns And Roses will always be my number one band. 🤩
Am I the only one that thinks he still looks good?
That Foxy Cruehead would you fuck him? : )
Jeremiah Daniel Um.... oh god. XD Dude... he's 49 years old! Maybe 50! Idk when Slash's birthday really is.
That Foxy Cruehead JULY 23
That Foxy Cruehead he does.
The only thing Slash needs to do to look best is shave.
why does piers morgan have to always cut him off
He does it to EVERYONE he interviews. He asks a question, doesn’t wait for the answer or just flat out interrupts the answer.
Because Piers is an asshole and does not know how to properly interview.
Because he's a wanker
He’s a twat so probably
Just like my Manager.....I have half a million sentences that are still unfinished
Slash is such an easy going dude. I hope he stays healthy....we lost too many good ones in past few years.
Slash is a very genuinely nice person. I love how he was honest & frank, no drama, no smearing.
does slash ever age?
Nope
+Cetera Noir Only his ink gets older.
+Cetera Noir Half Black don't crack !
Not if he wears that hat and sun glasses!!
He ages, trust me.
No matter what anyone says, and no matter how they feel about Axl, Slash is, and has always been, just about the coolest guy ever in Rock N Roll music. He is one class act. No matter what happens, he will always wind up in a good situation.
Agree
Slash's last words to Axl Rose UPDATED: "Great show. See you tomorrow night."
Slash speak the first time I had a band I really feel for him when he said he was done I when through similar as well
slash is a cool ass dude and a great guitarist . I always had respect for slash and I would chill with him any time
Id kick his ass and then blow his ass outta the water with a solo.
santana jackson oh yeah? You would chil with him?
yeah but would he want to chill with you?
He’ll sleep better at night knowing that
Overrated.
I'm waiting for his hat to say "GRYFFINDOR!"
lol
Ferris Romero That's funny shit!!!
omg hahaha made my day
Hahah 😂
Ferris Romero i laughed so fucking hard at this, i spit all over my keyboard by accident
I’m 26 and went years without listening to Rock or metal till recently and Slash always has been & will be the coolest dude ever
I met Slash once - an incredibly humble and nice guy.
"I left the band in 1996, so we're talking uhhh....(tries to do the math in his head, realizes his brain cells are all fried) you know....a pretty long amount of time"
I love Slash, just poking fun.
WILD THINGS 🤣🤣
ikr
WILD THINGS, maybe he just forgot what year it was.
Shit, I know I get that way after I smoke the ganj
Looks like a bafoon with that hat ! Lol !!!
Updated last words: "Man, we kicked ass tonight".
😂😂😂
updated last words: "We are working on a new album."
@@Laura_Seicean wait what
@@Laura_Seicean r u serious
@@shayanrustomji8097 Yep,I am.
Slash 2022: See you tomorrow Ax.
Hes such a good person
Always loved him. So sorry he lost his dear Mom. Both mine are gone. They would want us to carry on.
Slash tweeted Axl saying happy birthday today, I never expected that. Wish they would put there differences aside & do one last tour, might not ever happen but I can hope!
Did he answer? :D
MikaHakkinen83 Nope.
Aww thats cute. Slash is such a sweet guy!
Wait are you serious
no no Yes, he tweeted him that on his birthday & last week Slash confirmed they have talked recently.
..so i clicked on this interview to hear Slashs' last words to Axl..so there i am trying to listen and trying to ignore the interviewer interrupting him every 3 seconds then I realize its Piers fucking morgan ugh no wonder
if it doesnt matter get rid of it..
janeswurld My words are profound and my interview skills are top notch. I am a very interesting person. Just listen to me instead.
if i wanted to hear you talk i would of watched through the whole video Piers :)
+Piers Morgan what a nonse
Nice profile pic dude 👏🏼
Slash is the smartest guy in the band. Both his parents were very smart people. He is the one member who didn't run away from home to be a rock star. A true genius & American treasure. The real talent of the band right here.
tankthomas44 um, actually Axl is the one with a genius IQ. And they’re all the talent of the band.
I saw them at Glasgow a week ago, absolutely blew me away. Brilliant performance
slash is a gentleman and a rock God
Dannella Bergey
Small g.
Dannella Bergey In other words...he's a douchebag
Correct
The rock god is John from RHCP. But slash is also the special one.
Dannella Bergey yeah he's such a gentleman he wants to push your stool 💩 in LoL
"What were your last words?"
"Basically umm, "I'm done.""
"Did you say that?"
....really Piers?
IKR it got me so mad
4 yeats later and hes back on stage with axl and duff to make the fans happy and reunite somewhat the old lineup
Slash is one talented chill dude, and I think Axl was jealous. 😎👍
Since when can slash talk?
When this video started I was like "THAT'S WHAT HE FUCKING SOUNDS LIKE?!"
ask his parents when he started talkin
actually a GNR concert would often start with Slash coming up to the mic and screaming AAAAY MOTHERFUCKEEEERS so yeah XD
Hahaha yes! Just talking about this. God I never thought I'd miss the 90's. (Shudders)
Olivia Florence Jesus chill he’s just making a joke. It’s just that Slash kind of looks like the guy that never speaks lol
Piers Morgan is a God-awful interviewer.
How is he a a bad interviewer what things does he do wrong exactly?
+Ernesto Torres Cuts the hell out of Slash's sentences. And Jezza punched him, so that was pretty cool.
+Moses Cen sorry i just cant stand people who talk out of their ass
Ernesto Torres Then how do you go about understanding yourself?
+Moses Cen because i dont spew bullshit i research before i even open my mouth
Slash is the guy that Piers can't get to change his tone of voice... he's a quintessentially cool no BS person
In every interview I have seen with Slash in the last 15 years he has seemed lile super chill and nice person. So I believe he has all he needs and only does what he likes.
"i left in 1996 we're talking... (counting counting counting counting, think slash, how many years) you know... Pretty long amount of time"
Seen them play together twice now since this. Truly an amazing show.
Saul Hudson will always be the coolest. I’m glad they’re touring again. While Slash hasn’t really changed since even this interview, much less 1985 when they started, poor Axl has begun to look like Mama Fortelli from the Goonies
Sonovabitch. That's who he looks like now. I couldn't quite figure it out. Thanks. I think.
So interesting to see this knowing that in 2016 thy did get back together its 2023 now an theyre rocking the world - and Axl and slash look so happy … times a great healer
Slash makes a good speaker, maybe he should run for president in four years.
He's british tho
it doesn't matter
it doesn't matter
Gabriel Mello Gabriel Mello his mom's American therefore he's American too and therefore a natural born citizen like Ted Cruz born in another country but has an American mother and was able to run so theoretically slash can run but what are the odds him doing that I don't think he wants to go into politics and celebrities should stay out of politics
Alex Monfort you have to be born in America to be a president idiot
slash has a level of accuracy playing guitar that is amazing. the intro to sweet child o mine isnt the most technical piece ever but he plays it so clean and spot on every time. the second performance at the ritz is spectacular
It was actually just a finger timing exercise and he turned it into a riff
Without doubt, the masterpiece of Appetite from beginning to end was flawless. Slash was the most important ingredient to that success, IMO. That is how you play a guitar. 30 years I have been an obsessed guitarist and I am still in awe of how so much hot dog guitar playing excellence was packed into one album
I mean, there’s no one person band. They all did well, and Axl was just as iconic
"masterpiece"? Wow
@@robertfreeman5231it is a masterpiece dawg
It’s wholesome to know it’s very likely they’re with one another now and have shared many laughs and pleasant memories since this interview.
Yea they are now on tour together. Seeing them on stage together is just beautiful.
@@creamysauce7966 saw in London, it really was
Slash is back with guns n roses though I'm happy
Slash is such a great guy ...I thank him for his greatness .He made the 80s an awesome time ...
Slash ,still looks the same 💕 love your music . 🎸🎸🎸🎻🎻🎻🎵🎶🎵🎶 Your looking good .😃
And they ended up getting back and I saw them live 3 times! 🙌
Slash seems like a regular dude, awesome. Every time i here him give an interview he is so well spoken, i love it.
I see that all the comments before me from so many years prior agree with me that Slash is just such a cool and awesome and humble and wise dude.
2:02 then along came 2016...and I've seen them twice ❤
Piers is so insulting to Slash. Dude, not everyone sees the world in terms of dollars. I am not sure if Piers uttered one sentence that didn't contain the word "dollar" or "figure". Ok, we know where Piers' motivation is for what he does, but he can't assume his guest is like that. In summary, absolutely terrible interview.
I think it is because he does not seem to understand that there are people with actual souls who can't be bought loll
For sure it is projection on the part of Piers. Piers only cares about money and expects everyone else to think like the sleazebag he is
He reminds me of that reporter from V for Vendetta.
@@thomasgrabowski2202 I was told the V for Vendetta dude was directly based on him, so good catch.
Anyway Slash is outrageously wealthy. Even for this interview, cant imagine what they forked over.
The best bands always break up. The better the band, the uglier the break up. Fact.
yeah but there was a gnr reunion last year
Kara Camille Delonas So you're saying Green Day is crap and One Direction is amazing?
BrendonUrie'sForeheadCan'tHandleThePhandom they're both shit bands bruh
Kara Camille Delonas That’s not true. Just look at Maiden.
So that's why mötley crüe are always together
Thank you for reunited again Friday night concert was amazing , I feel so fortunate that I got to see them performing again.
Well spoken by Slash here, speaking very wise and mature things especially about a subject he could be less concise and respectful about. Intelligent man with a lot of maturity and experience, and as much as I would've loved to see the original band back together at this time, you have to respect what he says here. (Edit: I know they got back together to play, but I'm speaking about this point in time)
The way he asks questions to his guests, it's like he doesn't care about a thing they say. He's such an offensive host.
Axl-Rose - What a awesome voice!
"You could be mine" is my fave song x
one of the best guitarists of our age.
He was so calm and polite given the stupid question he was faced with, seriously
The interviewer keeps interrupting him an it irritates me.
welshwilderbeast Interviewers quite often have to keep interrupting their guests as many just wander off at tangents and get completely off the point - the interviewers job is to keep them on track, that's what they do! If you had two brain cells to rub together you'd know that! Clown!!
Arsehole!!
+Jason Bourne If you had even two braincells to rub together, you wouldn't feel the need to critique me on the finer concepts of interviewing someone.
He wasn't even off track, Piers was just interrupting him.
Shut the fuck up.
"Clown"
That's because piers morgan is an absolute dick.
That is the reason why I don't watch him,doesn't matter who it is,he interrupt
s them constantly. Drives me nuts.
Glad you guys linked up and played again. Say you last year! Amazing! Loved it!
See how that worked out for Axl. He thought Guns N Roses was his then when it was it fell off a cliff. That’s a W for Slash & crew.
love all the guitar work he did in those extended songs like November Rain and Estranged, enjoyed so much
i wasn't born when the band split but i love their music and it still hits me hard
His last words to Axl were probably something like, "Hey, pass me the cocaine and gravy."
MrMuttly55 he hates drugs
Carl Wheezer I've read his biography, during this time he was still on drugs
Carl Wheezer well not the time of the interview but when he was still talking to axl
he hates them because he did them all and cant find anymore lol
Hahaha
Slash will always be my favourite guitarist ever such a legend
Slash nice guy and a rock legend👍🇬🇧
"You don't want to sit here, banging on about Axl Rose for the rest of your life, do you?O K, so sit there and bang on about Axl Rose for me."
i dont care about what people said .. RESPECT FOR SLASH and ADLER
OMG then the reunion happened. Love this band. Can't wait for the new album this year!
How’d you feel when no album came out?
@@yourfriendlyneighbourhoods8202 Disappointed. But at this point I don't even care lol.
After just having taken my niece to see them this past weekend-i just wanna say I appreciate it. Even if it’s a money grab, idc. She loved it. And slash still got it
just saw them tonight for the first time. I'm in awe how good they are
Apparently the last price tag worked, because I've just seen them on stage yesterday :D
it was short but one of the great bands that will be remembered for all times,ego kills creativity
Calm, collected, eloquent, and down to Earth in a way that says his principles aren't for sale.
can't wait for their world tour!!!!✨💖✨💖✨ so glad they put this behind them
It was BRILLIANT
slash is the guitarist i grew up with, truly love the way he threads those notes hahah
slash has always been such a class act. you may not love guns and roses but you have to love slash its like.. impossible to not love him or atleast respect him. I'm kinda glad to see Axl has trimmed down and started taking his music seriously (again?) But slash never strayed. Staying himself always truly. Gotta respect that.
Slash AIN'T NOBODY'S FOOL. A classy guy all around.
as a young boy at 11, 13 they were just huge back in the early 90´s, they were hands down the biggest rock band at the time
Love both ways he speaks through words and guitar such a gifted guy
Bro this is the first time I’ve heard his voice
and it’s amazing I-
I love Slash so much!!!! ❤
this reunion had little to do with $ from what I heard.. Duff mended the bad feelings between them enough for them to give it a shot...thanks Duff!!!
Piers Morgan: "When was the last time you took your hat off?"
Slash: "Uhhhh ... I put in on in 1996... "
More like 1985
Everything has a price, Fast forward to 2022 they’re basically back together and touring most if not every country since 2016
And they are bad as bad can be. 🤢😆
His viewpoint and his honesty @ how he feels - refreshing !
Well done Slash. Integrity intact in response to Morgan's usual crass questioning.
Flash Forward to 2018...Slash's last words to Axl , "How much do you think we made on the gate tonight?"
Axl with those price tags were going to make a mint who cares what happened 20+ yrs ago! Slash your right we actually agreed on something let's do this.
I'm so glad they are back together. I saw them a week ago for the second time with the original line up. They were Awesome! I've seen Axl's GnR twice and Slash with Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators once.
This makes me appreciate that they've gotten back together at all. Like Slash said in this interview he didn't think any amount of money would make them want to revisit what they were going through. But after so long tempers and strained relationships tend to die down.
It's like they said fuck the money because it isn't the point, we had some good times and great fuckin music so let's go play it together.
meanwhile in 2017
GUNS n ROSES - Not this lifetime Tour.
I've been really really good this year, Slash. So when you come to drink the 40 I leave out for you and the beef jerky this 4-20....PLEASE give me plenty of presents and good times Slash!
I still believe in you.
Guns n' Roses fans know that if his ex-wife Pearl didn't clean him out financially and ruin his life, there would be NO reunion tour.
Not necessarily, I think they still would’ve reunited one way or another, it might have just been at a different time
One crazy good guitarist
Slash, good. Piers, bad.
I kinda believe that the only reason Slash would be on stage is for his fans and for not being forgetten
Edvin Keskin you act like he would be forgotten😂
Edvin Keskin Correcto!
Edvin Keskin SLASH FORGOTTEN HHHHHHAAAAAAAAHHHHHHAAAAAAHHHHHUUUUHHHHAAAHHH
Luckily for us, there was Price. Thank you gnr for getting back together. Loved your concert in Ireland recently.
Slash is actually a well articulated spoken man. It shows some IQ there, behind the heavy rock facade.
So because he's a rock musician, you expected him to be of lesser intelligence?
@@keithbartholomew9433 Well, there are many not so bright talented musicians out there who have abused drugs and alcohol so much, to the point of negatively affecting their brain and behavior. IF you can believe that.
@@v.german11b yeah I get it, it just sounded like you expected less of him because of his career choice... You don't get to be in one of the biggest bands on the planet without having some sort of intelligence, not to mention being able to master an instrument.
@@keithbartholomew9433 I see. Well, many dumb asses are wealthy. Many uneducated, not-so-bright people become rich. Many highly educated with a high IQ don't become successful and well to do. All is relative. Having money is not a measure of intelligence and education.
Slash is the greatest rock star of all time IMO.
