Pop/Rock
Slash

Slash is one of the most distinctive and in-demand guitarists of the last 30 years, equally confident working in hard rock and pop. As the lead guitarist for Guns N’ Roses, Slash cemented his reputation as a fluid, articulate player, but once he left that band during the ‘90s, he continued to build on his legacy by delivering high-profile guest spots on other people’s albums, not to mention signing on to be a part of the super group Velvet Revolver. In September 2008, Slash began production on his debut solo album. The album, simply titled Slash, debuted at number three on the Billboard 200 upon its release in April 2010. It featured an all-star roster of guest musicians, including Ozzy Osbourne, Fergie of The Black Eyed Peas, Adam Levine of Maroon 5, Lemmy Kilmister of Motörhead, Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters and Iggy Pop. To promote the album, Slash embarked on his first solo world tour with Myles Kennedy of Alter Bridge, who also appeared on the album on vocals, Bobby Schneck on rhythm guitar, Todd Kerns on bass and Brent Fitz on drums. They released Apocalyptic Love in 2012 and World on Fire in 2014. Slash continues to tour as a solo act. He also continues to tour with Guns N' Roses.
