      Really? My opinion on him has kind of changed over the years. I always saw him as the cool one cause Axl was such a dick but he’s become kind of a carpetbagger. The signature Slash eds double neck? Is Jimmy Page, Alex Lifeson and Don Felder all dead. The Söash Les Paul Junior? Did he look at one once or something? I get it from Gibson‘s point of view. If they determine a Slash Junior would sell better than a Leslie West Junior than that’s what they’re gonna do. It’s on Slash to kind of have some shame. The guy will put his name on anything for a few bucks, plugs stuff constantly whenever he talks. I find him offputting at this point.

      ​@@michaelpacinus242 Reading his biography, I decided to never try oxycontin. After 20 years of heroin he described it as the best thing he'd ever experienced and as he hsd gotten a pace maker he realised he could take huge amounts of it and if he OD'd the pace maker would just restart the heart. I think after the third one was installed his doctor had long talk with him and since then he's laid off a little on the heavy opiates.

      Slash having Joe's burst is well documented. If you look at older interviews with Slash and Joe, it turns out Joe asked Slash for it back multiple times, even offered cash for it, but Slash didn't for one reason or another, to the point where Joe stopped asking otherwise it would ruin their friendship. But yeh, Slash did eventually gift it to him which was really nice of him as Joe is his hero, but it wasn't a simple case of Slash acquiring it and heading straight to Joe's house to give it him.

      Thank you so much for this Gibson and our best regards to Mark. For the guitar/techies out there... There is still a lot of mystery here and a cult following with that red Mockingbird. I've been studying that guitar for 31 years ever since it was first seen in the 1991 "You Could Be Mine" video with Arnold at The Ritz.
      Slash says here it came with a Floyd Rose when he bought it. I remember very clearly though reading an interview with him during the Use Your Illusion Tour that when he first bought it, it had a Khaler tremelo and that he had someone route the body out to modify it for a Floyd Rose. It was a big deal for all the teenage shredders at the time to see him with a guitar other than a Les Paul at the time and all of a sudden BC Rich was popular again. Out of all the great knowledge and questions Mark has (we love you Mark) he didn't have Slash clear up the long-standing mystery as to whether or not this Mockingbird with Floyd Rose here is in fact the same Mockingbird that originally had the Khaler that was used in the "You Could Be Mine" video with Arnold. It's not just me either...
      There are so many Slash and BC Rich fans who have wanted to see Slash authorize an exact replica of that guitar. A lot of people say in these online guitar forums say "BC Rich already has one and it's called the 'SL' model." That 'SL' model though is nowhere close to his. Too many specs to list, just for one though, his has a maple neck, not Mahagony.

    Say whatever you want about Slash, his image, his bands, whatever. The guy is a killer guitar player and has brought more attention to Les Pauls than probably anyone in history. He is such a cool, intelligent musician and also still very humble. This was one of the best Gibson videos yet, maybe the best. Kudos to Mark and the crew and thank you for the great guitar geek content.

      Guitars are racist. Rock music belongs to black people and was stolen from them. It’s important the we are ‘born again’ and instate a black-centric culture that corrects the inequities of the past… even if it means you have to give up things you enjoy… like playing guitar. Again, all guitar playing is racist.

    One of my biggest influences ever. I was absolutely obsessed with Slash as a young player and to this day, I think he's one of the most unique or the most unique rock n roll guitarist on the planet. He is nobody but himself in his sound and compositions. Through studying music more as I've gotten older I am even more blown away today by his solos and compositions - how everything he does serves the song perfectly... His tone, his unique vibrato, his blend of classical sounds with blues. When he released the solo Slash album with the guest singers, I was absolutely blown away by those songs as instant rock classics. So cool. Nobody sounds like Slash! great video!

I'm not saying he should have been number one but at least in the top 20 I would think.

At first I was like "Somebody's sitting in my favorite spot" and I look over at him. I saw his shaggy hair first, then his beard, and then his bracelets and watch (it was a nice one too.) I processed everything and looked at him and said "Slash?" (The only thing I could think of to say at the moment.) He smiled and said "Yeah...?" I said "Hey, I'm a big fan." He said "Thanks" and I shook his hand and went to buy my coffee. Never know who you will run into buying coffee.
