Questions for Slash?

Saulhudson_2Next week, my hirsute dreams come true.

In anticipation of Velvet Revolver's Oct. 6 stop in Tampa, I'll be interviewing Saul "Slash" Hudson, if not one of the most influential guitarists of all time, then definitely the hairiest.

But here's the deal: I'll probably get 20 minutes at best. So where do you start? Maybe lead with a few VR queries and then go for the G N' R gold? And you have to devote at least 6 minutes to his top hat, right? Gonna have to plan this sucker just right.

WHO HAS A QUESTION FOR SLASH?

Comments

I'd love to see a question or two about some of his guest appearances, like Michael Jackson's Dirty Diana, and his thoughts on Michael now, but that might be too tangential. How about the infamous G N'R/Metallica tour with the fire incident, where G N'R supposedly just left instead of saving the show with a longer set?

What impact has your collaboration with Baldy (aka Chris Daughtry) had on your career?

Who is the most famous person you've ever banged?

Ask him about his role as a Boss Battle in Guitar Hero 3.
