"Remember when our singers planned on killing each other?"
"Remember when i died in your house?"
LMAO
I just pissed myself!
OK, that's pretty good.
After all that...You are sitting in one of my rooms worth more than you can imagine...
Where’s that at
When you realise both of them died and came back to life.
Know ur guitare players
and slash several times
I believe Slash but not Nikki.
@@paws_offury yeah, because it's not a matter of public record that Nikki Sixx was D.O.A. I mean, it only went out over the AP newswire. 🙄
@@paws_offury I think it's Nikki, but not Slash. I'm certain Nikki had to be revived with not one, but two shots of adrenaline straight to the heart! It's a crazy story, you should look it up. Basically, the EMT on the scene was a fan, so he knew who he was attempting to save. He gave him the first shot straight to the heart and it didn't make it start beating again. Apparently, him being a fan, he was extra motivated to save him, so he gave him a second shot and that one worked. There's more madness to the story. It goes, Nikki signed himself out of the hospital two or three hours later, against the doctor's recommendation. He went straight home, left a message on his answering machine that said "Hi, this is Nikki, I can't come to the phone, I'm dead" then shot up more heroin! He woke up the next day with the needle still in his arm, that was the moment he decided to try and get help to get clean. It's not hard to find him telling the story, you should look it up, absolutely insane!
Slash, "Ya know, I should be dead"
Nikki, "Ya know, I did die"
Nikki and Slash, "Did we just become best friends"
Let's go play our guitars in the garage! Da da da da da da daaaa
Didn't Slash die?
@@TheOnlyHollywood1 He overdosed and went into Cardiac Arrest for like 8 minutes if I remember right but no he didn't die
What's so great about overdosing?
Yup!!!!!😀
Is it just me or has Slash been like 36 for the last 30 years...
David some of them just don’t seem to age.
@@iganpparamarta8813 And then there's the hair dye that they all insist on using. 60-year-old guys with not a single grey hair. I would get abused if I used hair dye! ;)
iceonaboy they’re like comic book characters who live in alternate universe. Always appear at same age all the time he he
MegaZazzy d’oh!
@@leth9320 not if you did it right.and you guys look great with the silver
I could listen to these two legends talk about grocery shopping and still be in awe...
Right! Listen to slash fidget and toy with his guitar? Yes please! \m/
that made me laugh for the day
😂😂😂I'm wheezing
It's a miracle that those 2 can speak without mumbling
Mr. Gonzo it really is
Ozzy left the chat
They achieved sobriety early. It was too late for Ozzy to become sober, now he mumbles🤣
Keith Richards watched with jealousy
I mean, it's a miracle that those two even sit there, if you think about it.
Nikki seems a LOT happier than he did in the past. No sunglasses, updated look, lots of smiles. Happy for him! Love this version of Nikki Sixx.
Great to see both sober!
Fake wig! Hahahaha
Not dead
Receding hairline behind a bandana
Still looks like a straight up tool with that bandana.
I went to Guns & Roses in Las Vegas 1992. Slash was outside by himself and bumb’d a cigarette off of me. That’s it
Bahaha. Funny
@William Lewis HA! That very same thing happened in Cardiff, UK in '05.
for a free back stage pass ya can ya bum
I met Slash in Guitar Center in Sherman Oaks CA. His kid was about 7 and having a ridiculous temper tantrum literally flopping around on the floor crying, Slash was trying to get drum sticks but didn't have any money. I met a childhood hero of mine and he was utterly humiliated having a "dad moment" in public.
I told him I would pay for the sticks and he wouldn't take them for free. So weird, but I'll never forget it.
That is so cool
Get somebody who looks at you like nikki looks at slash
Obviously, Pressley you know nothing of character. "Nikki Sucks"! His face reminds me of my uncle a F*@king A-h&$! Even Nikki's mustache pull reminds me of my uncle. People that are in the industry say Nikki doesn't know much about guitar playing. He had to learn late! And the Bass guitar no less!!!
@Randy From the 602 Randy your are too stupid to understand personality theory!
Brandon S
Slash didn’t save Nikki’s life..
KaizUp yes he did. he dragged him to the shower and called the ambulance.
mmgsundar shut the fuck up
Back in the 90's, I wasn't aware Slash had actually a face.
I remember listening to Slash give an interview to WEBN radio in Cincinnati, when he said "Sweet Child of Mine is the gayest riff I've ever written".. LOL
Back as a kid in the 80's I was always under the impression rock bands were rivals. Now it is so fucking awesome to see legends who were influenced by legends.
Nikki is not a legend,.he doesnt even have an iconic solo
@@mrjackbilbo neither did Gene Simmons, but here we are. They are known for making their mark in music. I was more referencing Slash and his influences and vice versa.
@todd long well, wondering how much of it was sensationalism since we as kids in the 80's had to get our info from magazines and MTV. I was a little nauseous of Vince and Axl's beef. Pathetic.
Yes there was beef between Axl and Vince..They were challenging each other to a boxing match.. Would have been a great fight.
@@mrjackbilbo he’s a bassist dumbass 😂😂slash is a lead guitarist what do you expect?
Slash and Nikki obviously get along better than Axl and Vince lol
Larry Brown Ah, the boxing match that never happened.
Fukn singers bro
Singers are usually premadonnas. Even on the illusion albums they thanked Lars Ulrich in the liner notes. Yet James hates axl
Slash and Nikki probably get on better than Slash and Axl
pornoonsteroids Axl called James a racist just because supposedly Axl wanted Body Count to open up on their tour and James didn't approve.
Slash is so humble I could listen to him talk for hours an watch him teach
Its not typical for a British bloke abroad!! Haha.
Dakota Tenhet
Wait......What??
Slash is British??........
That's a serious/legit question......I don't know the dude's bio....
Mike Habic lol, yeah, he was born in England & has dual citizenship. Pretty sure it was a long time before he got his American citizenship (the 90s, I think?). His dad is English & his mom was African American.
His biography is very interesting.
but didnt he grew up in cali , leaving england when he was very young ?
wasn't me yeah, he was little when he moved over with his mom, 5-6.
anyone else love when 2 rock legends get together and talk
If you love Slash and GNR go check out the ROCK N ROLLAS PODCAST now!!!
Doesn't matter how many times I see Slash, he's still my favorite musician ever. Fuckin love that guy. He seems so humble, even after 30+ years of outrageous fame.
I never realized how much rockstars love to accesorize until now.
Jesus f'ing Christ, where have you been the last 50 years? lol I mean even if you're just 20 years old you should know this by now.
I mean, if you're blind that would be understandable, but seriously....pay attention; how can you miss such blatantly obvious stuff?
le th cooooolll babeh
Slash is the last Jedi.
To bad the Last Jedi sucked 🙃
Mick mars is still alive
@@beaukrastel7821 Slash is the last Shredi
Slash has completed the cycle, watching a man die in the eighties and then talking to him on his couch in the tens
Slash gets along with everyone. It was Axl who was the premadonna
Two undead men talking about guitar riffs
These mofos survived everything
Everyone you talk to is undead?
Jeigh Neither but they both ACTUALLY Died... and then came back so😭🤷🏽♀️
Can't kill these guys
That partied in the 80s together too
Example of rockers who aged well: Nikki Six, Slash
Examples of rockers who haven’t aged well: Axle Rose, Vince Neil
hmmmmmmm
Must be the heroin,then 😁
Seb Bach is still hot & slender & waxed up.
How does Nikki look so good though! The amount of sex drugs and rock and roll he should look like Keef
Axl
@@Rogerc1984 plastic surgery....and he's got a terrible one....LOL
He looks like a freak...
Joan Rivers....🤣🤣🤣
Slash explained how every great musician produces great music , you play until you hear something good , and then you play on it.
Great video .
I'm so glad you guys survived those crazy times God bless you .and you guys don't age WTH
It seems to be a Heroin thing. Look at all the people that did Heroin in their early years but then kicked the habit before it killed them. All of them bounce back and end up aging slower than everyone else. This isn't an advertisement for Heroin use of course, just saying that it seems to have some effect on the aging process. I'm gonna look up to see if there are any studies on it.
@@JackD89 They're probably dying their hair
@@JackD89 no dude its the surgery n stuff and a lot of money
@@JackD89 it did`ent work for keef richards.
my favorite riff *well ....Thanks to the lame ass security I'm going home*
Quit taking pictures wah wah lmao
😂😂
Holy fuck that made me laugh hysterically 😂
Haha ,I was there for that.
Bro u forget the best part of that riff...(slams mic to the ground)
Next Axl and Vince sitting together...😄
I love the thought of Jason Bonham teaching Slash how to play something on the guitar.
Forget who teach him am more humble and admirer to learn that he admit playing wrong and someone taught him...
Youd be surprised at what you learn from someone as a musician. You can learn something at 60. That's the beauty of music.. you can teach and even be the greatest on the planet, but you're always a student.
this channel is so great, just found out about it and binge watching
Slash is great. No one says 'fuck' more modestly and naturally...
John 5 is CRAZY good....loved that hyped up jazz guitar he played...Joe Pass would be proud.
Damn I'm gonna miss this show but continued success Nikki
+Mike m. Yeah man,me too.I never dug G&R, but Slash seems to be a super cool dude. And Nikki is a great guy all around. He won`t tolerate bullies at shows ,etc., glad that not all superstars are wacko.
Great effin segment! FACT: These two guys alone are responsible for millions of hard rock albums heard/sold/seen in the 80's. Much love to both!
Wow, i am reliving 1986. I did bong hits with both of these guys at the Brown Derby in Hollywood.
I was a minion behind the scenes
So many stories. The strip was so insane back in the day. So happy for all of the Crue. Good times and glad to see they are all still alive and well.
Brimstone now that’s a flex 🤣
I think hearing Page play "Whole Lotta Love" years later, was the motivating factor that pushed me to re-examine the Les Paul as an instrument, after years of playing Strats and Strat style guitars like Krammer. Nikki, I remember driving from Pittsburgh, PA to Millington, TN as a young Marine in my 71' Chevelle, back in 1988 with a friend. We listening to the album , "Shout at the Devil" over and over. The guitar was so sharp and cutting and the bass was so thunderous and punchy. Good times...
Comparing this Nikki to the Nikki in heroin diaries is insane, just a super chill dude great vibe. Best of luck in 2018 and thanks for this show truly enjoyed it.
Jim Barnes. it's hard to believe it's the same Nikki, huh? That's because Nikki is a great liar.
Roxanne Moser a liar would be an individual such as yourself using a fake profile to leave ignorant comments on people's post because obviously you don't have enough heart to do it with a real profile of yourself so crawl back into the shadows of no existence and pretend to be someone your not
I’m just glad that he lived to be 60. I never would’ve thought that in a million years after what happened to him!
NIKKI IS THE KEITH RICHARDS OF METAL \m/
umm riffs? hey Nikki, there's this guy called Mick Mars I'm not sure if you've heard of him 😁🤘
I love how any rocker can say “ozzy” instead of Black Sabbath or ozzy osbourne and you automatically know
So sad to hear that this is the last episode. But Slash rocked
I heard they loved it so much they'd die for it
Why is this the last one. Dam lol. So many more to interview....
I love seeing a sober Nikki! such a good time in his life, he's the type of guy I'd love to just sit down and drink a beer with! Thanks Nikki!
Slash was there when Nikki Sixx overdosed and died for 2 minutes
Gabriel Emin yup it was a party at his house and Nikki was there when he ODed
@Mike w You got this man the drugs are not a part of who you are.
@Mike w Good luck mate.
Absolutely my favorite guitar player ever. Like him or not, you KNOW when it's Slash playing, his sound is his own.
It almost surreal to hear slash talk about learning guitar. The man is so good in my opinion. It is almost like is has just always been a guitar god. I can picture him being born and the doctor handing him a Les Paul.
C'mon, that is Nikki Sixx interviewing the most important musicians in the world with only 28k subscribers? God damn! What's happening to the world?
He doesn't have tits.
As James once said, sad, but true! ;)
Autotune and EDM, unfortunately.
sixx is obviously not relevant and this is a painful attempt to be
SJW Rapper crap
I love that Slash was there, in the same room, in the Hollywood hotel Nikki overdosed in back in 1987 (and died) and now here they are…
I read Nikki´s book a while back, I can´t believe this is the same person... good for you Nikki. Looking good.
Last episode? Daaamn this was my favorite show on UA-cam
Thank you Sixx. I somehow had forgotten the Crue Brew, but recently watching the band history on Netflix I fell in love all over again. I can't wait to watch the rest of favorite riffs. I've watched the dirt four five times over the last week and a half. What great memories. Thank you
I love this. They're super famous rock stars but they both seem so down to earth.
Do Mick Mars. He is one of the greatest guitar player
Pur3Trag3dy idk if Nikki knows who this Mack mars is
Mars is a legend
Pur3Trag3dy I’d love to just see them on the couch talking...
Nikki said in one of these I believe it was the John 5 one that he has Mick lined up I come on the show it’s just a timing thing
@@cellblocknine5385 It was a joke
"Is that even 4/4?" "Is it not?" - Been there done that...LOL - love these guys...
I remember slash saying in his book that Dave Mustaine and him used to write a lot of super sick dark riffs together after a toke of freebase or 3.
Reading Dave's book just know and he mentions the same thing in the forward as does Dave. He speaks highly of slash riff skills
Two of my favorites!! So glad they are happy and it's great to see them talking together.
Slash may be the coolest person ever. Lol... I bet he's thinking to himself (remember when you would steal my riffs) lol
Ughhhh...I love this show. Wish it would continue. But at least we went out with a bang!!
Thanks Nikki!!!!
Wont see vince and axl in the same room ever lol
Faizan Mckagan never ever happening
Do they hate eachother? Or something
Liz xxd they had a feud back in the 90s (I don’t think they ever fought, they were just media bitching on each other), but honestly if they were to meet now, they would probably try eating each other
They need a big room probably a hotel suite
flash 22 😂👍
I love how everyone in comments is like "he didn't play whole lotta love right :,(" last I checked slash wasn't the guitarist for led zepplin and he doesn't have to impress Nikki. They are both awesome musicians that have already made their mark.
I loved these episodes and seeing all these incredible guitar legends doing what they do and reminiscing . Maybe again sometime you'll revive these gems. Until then, Thank You Nikki!
This man changed my life...
jon gibson Wow funny as fuck 😉
Same
Nikki or Slash?
Appetite for Destruction changed my life.
If I could choose only one album that had the most influence on me, that's the one.
Sometimes I sing Sweet child of mine so I understand you
Two legends with maximum talent and coolness! Great, great people! Thanks for this Nikki & Slash! I wish you the very best for the following year and always!
Mr. Sixx these videos are great! I watched them all at least twice. Please do more! Very inspiring and it is great for understanding the artist's way of creating music.
100 years from now, guitarists will be watching this video second by second. Thank you for doing this.
How come it’s ending!! This is my absolute FAVE thing on UA-cam, Nikki! I’m sure you’re probably too busy to continue but thank you for doing it. Soooo much fun!
Slash = Still cooler than you and me.
Thanks Nikki for such a great show. Gonna miss it SO MUCH. But what a great last show to have. I could listen to you and Slash chat all day long. Thanks again brother.
We are sooooo blessed that you both are still with us! All of that knowledge...🤔
This is great. First one I’ve seen, but I can’t believe it’s the last one to be done.
Two of my favorite Rock n Roll personalities together on a couch. Awesome. Do more!
The part he's talking about on Whole Lotta Love is that while you fret the D note on the A string you play the open D string while slightly bending the fretted D note upwards. It gives the riff that distinct warble and is very noticeable on the recording.
Jon Late that's right on! I learned that from Steve Stevens... lol
Exactly! Not many people play it correctly.
Didn’t expect to learn how to correctly play a zep riff correctly from a slash interview! Thanks for the cool info
Jon Late yep. and you pull it slightly sharp with a little vibrato
this just can not be the end !!! pls mr sixx keep doing this and make us all happy , by the way those two are my gods
Two of THE most kick ass rock stars of "my" era...saving the best for last and was happy to see how good both of them look! F'n rock on guys!!
Great to hear two rock legends talking music, love this and thanks for sharing these guys thoughts with their fans!
Both these guys are such a HUGE part of my life, my musicianship, inspiration, and yes, we have shared some of the same woes along the way. Thanks guys!
Isn't it strange that ALL OF US including the most popular guitar players of all time... We all have those moments where we realize we were playing something wrong or that something we have been playing is actually played much simpler. Zakk Wylde was talking about this not long ago. It may have been on this show.
My favorite riff, Nikki its been great.
….this is the ultimate evidence that sobriety completely brings out the dignity and humility in peeps who were once polluted by booze and drugs.....damn proud of Slash and Nikki for living clean and with honesty! I should know-I'm 26 yrs. sober and really living out loud-eliminating all the bullshit and connecting on a much deeper level with family and friends! Just listen to the good vibes between these two legends-INSPIRATIONAL!
This gives me life. Listening to two of the biggest rockstars in my opinion to ever exist just chatting about music. THIS is content we need.
Hey dear how are you doing over there ?
I love how Slash is such a guitar superstar and yet so humble and down-to-earth! Geez I would act like a total douchebag if I was famous like Slash!
Slash is really having a good time in this interview, Im a big fan of that guy !
If you love Slash and GNR go check out the ROCK N ROLLAS PODCAST now!!!
I feel 14 again.
....and Slash just correlated feeling a turn of musical phrase to high speed auto racing. That's a great analogy because I can appreciate it from having spent time playing Forza NASCAR. I get what he means by that accomplishment felt from picking a line through the curve to building a chord progression which becomes sublime.
I'm truly encouraged.
Slash is so cool, so few mixed black and white metal musicians
Good to hear 'Back In The Saddle' getting some love. My Favourite Aerosmith riff.
That is so cool. Glad to see these artists getting to talk amongst themselves like they would at a bar. And we get to see it. So cool.
One of the best interviews I've ever seen!
Last one this year right???? Please don't stop recording these videos! Your definitely my favorite You-tuber as well as my favorite song writer/performer.
Steve Kolish nope. According to Nikki,this is the last ever.
that sucks love this show.
2 of the sexiest band members all in one 💓💓💓💓💓
Welcome to the Jungle, the opening riff defines the 80's for me. I remember hearing it thinking, ok here come the 80's. Sink, swim or party! And party I did. Awesome time to be alive! Slash's use of his neck pickup single handedly changed my sound over the past 30 years. And many of you agree, it's a great sound!
Two legends together. Priceless
Nikki you are my Musical inspiration and I thank you for that ...best of luck 🤘🏿😎🤘🏿
Man, I love the stories of how these songs come together or are made and created (i.e, "a Cheap Trick song played backwards").
I get where they are coming from when they talk about feeling the best playing in the group setting. I played in the same band for almost 30 years before my drummer moved out of state. We obviously aren't Motley Crue or Guns N Roses, but what I miss the most were getting together with the boys and jamming out on Sunday mornings at practice. Not so much the shows - even though they were great, it was just the creative energy around those practices that I enjoyed the most - getting everything ready to go into the studio and record. While I still play my guitar all the time, and it's a part of me, I still have the "form a band, take over the world" mentality.
Legends! Thank you for the show and all the awesome music!! True and honest artist! Like them or not you have to admit they are real!! Bless you all!
Life after death interviews. The stories these guys have!
Yamaha THR10X...
Best thing I ever bought.
It gets me playing/practicing way more than ever.
Wak Job I have it and love it also! To play at home there's nothing better! Had to put my valvulate amp aside.
Wak Job I've been thinking about getting one, you definitely recommend it then ?
Glib there is a channel on UA-cam of a guy named Cameron Cooper, that dials some pretty good tones out of the thr10x, you should check it out. But yes I recommend it. As a study or apartment amp it is very nice, because you can play on a moderate noise level without losing gain, also a lot of different distortion and effect options, and it works as an computer interface.
Tiago Assis Yeh i'am just looking for a plug in and play kind of amp. I currently have a Vox VT40 and spend more time messing around with it instead of playing. Thanks for the advice I'll check out that site.
Aaron Schula Is that the 2x12 Combi ?
Honestly,who can be mad at these two? i bet even in heated arguments,their awesome energy just overpowers the flames and bad tension. Such awesome guys!❤❤
great show and idea!! So many of us love this era...
Last episode?!! damn!
Hopefully he means last for the year.....Hopefully
No he's moving on to do different projects. He's taking an indefinite break from Sixx Sense.
The Network317 yeah Jake kiska from greta van fleet. I think he showed Nikki the correct way
I know right. I was hoping he'd get Jerry Cantrell on here.
False Ego Me too! I guess we have rewatch!
Aaaand now I'm wishing there was a weekly Rock N Roll podcast with Nikki and Slash.
Slash looks better now than earlier in his career.
I could watch this all day.
I don't know if you are still looking at this, but I need to say something. This was sooo awesome. My youngest son is a guitar player, so naturally talented. I am a music freak, and gave my boys the love of great music. My youngest son has a beautiful Fender, original starburst finish, and he can play it til I wanna cry. I bought him an autistic for Christmas, he is sooo into it. He's gonna be the guy who has 10, 20 guitars lol. I love it, I am so into encouraging him. He's getting into blues, old classic country. Most parents would be like"put it down" when they are going to bed. I hear my kid playing, practicing guitar when I lay down to go to bed... I love it. It puts me to sleep with a smile 😊.
This guy is my idol.. Slash forever\m/
Slash is such a legend
Great listening to these two.
I love the humility of these guys.
if u could talk motley and guns riffs for a few hours that would be sick thanks
