艺人介绍
曾经是Guns N’ Roses乐队主音吉他手的Slash是80年代末和90年代初最棒的金属摇滚吉他手之一，他能演奏出最深情的吉他solo，&November Rain&，&Don't Cry&等经典歌曲中的独奏让我们体会到了真正的金属柔情。
Slash原名Saul Hudson，于1965年6月23日出生在英国，他的父母都是搞艺术的，都在娱乐圈中工作。母亲是个服装设计师，曾在David Bowie的电影&Man Who Fell to Earth&中负责过服装设计；父亲曾为很多乐手设计过唱片封套，如Neil Young和Joni Mitchell等。当Hudson上中学的时候，全家人搬到了好莱坞，那时Hudson得到了他的第一把吉他，并遇到了后来Guns N’ Roses的鼓手Steven Adler。家中的一位亲戚给Hudson起了一个绰号叫&Slash&，他很喜欢这个名字。
很快，Slash就和Steven Adler组织了一个名叫Road Crew的乐队，虽然他们的乐队一点也不成功，但认识了不少喜爱音乐的朋友，其中就包括后来Guns N’ Roses的其他成员。1985年，他们重新组建了一支叫Gunners（枪手）的乐队，这就是Guns N’ Roses的前身，在开始时乐队的名声很糟，象是一群酒鬼和毒品滥用者的集合。直到1987年，他们推出了专辑&Appetite for Destruction&（毁灭的欲望），其中有三首进入排行榜前十名的单曲&Sweet Child o’ Mine&、&Welcome to theJungle&和&Paradise City&，专辑在全球的销量达到了两千万张。Guns N’ Roses一下子成为了当时年轻人的偶像，Slash也以他独特的形象成了乐队的重要标志在一顶高高的帽子下，一头枯草似的的长发披散在脸前，嘴里叼着一只香烟.
1991年的双张专辑&Use Your Illusion&是一张制作非常艰难的专辑，酝酿了三年的时间，也许是他们的&Appetite for Destruction&的光芒太强烈了，难以超越。在录制这张专辑的时候，乐队内部已经有了意见分歧，Slash和Izzy这两名吉他手坚持硬摇滚的立场，而主唱Axl却极力要作出象Qeen那样的音乐，因此，为了满足不同的愿望，他们将各自偏爱的歌曲录制成了两张唱片。第一张显得更强硬，第二张中的&Novermber Rain&和&Coma&显示了Axl的创作野心。但Slash在两张唱片中的表现都极为出色，吉他solo演奏得酣畅淋漓，他与Izzy的配合可谓是最佳双吉他组合。&UseYourIllusion&之后，Slash逐渐被承认为最伟大的吉他手之一。
声誉和全世界乐迷的关注并没有使Guns N’ Roses们收敛他们玩世不恭的生活态度，酗酒、吸毒、打架，乐队成员不断制造着新闻。即使在非常重要的场合，他们仍不会约束自己，Slash和贝司手Duff McKagan在&美国音乐&颁奖典礼上竟醉熏熏地上台领奖，并做出下流的动作，着实震惊了在座的观众。过度快乐的生活慢慢地毁坏了乐队，尤其是当的Nirvana的&Nevermind&推出之后，Guns N’ Roses的浮夸的作风越来越受到更多人的指责。在发行了朋克专辑&Spaghetti Incident?&之后，Guns N’ Roses乐队开始走向了分裂。节奏吉他手Izzy和鼓手Matt纷纷离队，Slash和Rose虽还在一起，但Guns N’ Roses已经是有名无实了。
95年，Slash组建了自己的乐队Snakepit（蛇穴），在同年推出的专辑&It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere&中，他再次证明了自己是最伟大的吉他手。1996年，为了参加一个布鲁斯音乐节.Slash召集了几个来自不同乐队的乐手，组成了Slash’s Blues Ball乐队，主要演奏一些Slash和乐队其他成员所深爱的布鲁斯乐曲，偶尔也会演出一些Guns N’ Roses的歌。96年10月，由于Slash无法忍受Axl Rose的工业和电子音乐风格的路线，终于正式宣布退出Guns N’ Roses乐队,并表示除非Rose重新回到以吉他为根本的摇滚中来，否则他是不会再与其合作的。
Slash在器材选用上是很严肃的。&他非常清楚他想要听到什么，而且他也非常清楚吉他在他手重应该是怎样的感觉。&跟随Slash十二年的吉他技师Adam Day说。尽管Slash已经收藏了近百把吉他，但在现场演出时，他一直是使用Les Paul，在录音时他会选用BC Rich Mockingbird，他比较喜欢这种吉他的颤音。Slash使用的琴弦是Ernie Ball的.011到.048规格的弦。Marshall是Slash在功放和音箱方面所选用的品牌，而且他是Marshall公司第一位冠名生产系列产品的艺术家。Slash非常喜欢Marshall在1987年出产的Jubilee系列音箱，但这个系列只生产了一年就停产了。
Slash很难再找到同样的产品，因为他的音箱损坏的很快，每当他将体育场内的观众的情绪带领到疯狂程度的时候，也就是他开始毁坏自己心爱的设备的时候。于是他便找到了制造商，总裁Jim Marshall很快就答应他，将Jubilee加以改进推出了新版的名为Slash Marshall的音箱。在效果器上，Slash使用的不多，但很注重音质，他一般会使用Boss EQ GE-7和Boss DD3延时，再加上Dunlop的Wah踏板。Slash在演出中会在舞台上摆放好几块踏板,因为他演奏时总是不停地跑动，这样不管在舞台的什么位置，他都会随时使用踏板.
2000年10月，Slash的Snakepit乐队再次推出新专辑&Ain’t Life Grand&， 这是一张很正统的吉他摇滚专辑，没有太大的新意和震撼，也没有特别突出的歌曲，主要是因为Snakepit的乐队成员比起当年的Guns N’ Roses在水准上尤其是作曲能力上相差很大，但Slash的吉他主张依旧没变。
As the lead guitarist for Guns N' Roses, Slash established himself as one of hard rock's finest and most soulful soloists during the late '80s, technically adept yet always firmly grounded in the gritty Aerosmith and Stones licks he loved. Slash was born Saul Hudson on July 23, 1965, in Stoke-on-Trent, England, to artistic parents both involved in the entertainment industry; his mother was a clothing designer who worked on David Bowie's film The Man Who Fell to Earth, and his father designed album art for such artists as Neil Young and Joni Mitchell. The family eventually moved to Hollywood, where Hudson attended junior high, received his first guitar, and met future GNR drummer Steven Adler. With Hudson adopting the nickname Slash, given to him by a family friend, the two formed a band called Road Crew; although it proved unsuccessful, it was the vehicle through which they met and eventually joined up with the other members of Guns N' Roses.
The Gunners debuted in June 1985, and even before Appetite for Destruction was released in 1987, the band acquired a reputation as notorious alcohol and drug abusers. As their popularity soared, the reserved Slash established himself as an important part of the band's visual image, with a top hat and a mound of shaggy black hair covering his face as he typically staggered around the stage with a cigarette dangling from his mouth. Hedonistic excess consumed most of the band, with such incidents as Slash and Duff McKagan's drunken, profane acceptance of the band's American Music Award on live television. In 1990, opening for the Rolling Stones, Axl Rose's infamous on-stage pronouncement that he would leave the band if certain members did not stop &dancing with Mr. Brownstone& (using heroin) was primarily directed at Slash and Adler; Slash kicked his habit within a year, but Adler did not and was fired. In 1992, Slash courted controversy again with a product endorsement for Black Death vodka. Later that year, he was married to actress and model Renee Sorum, a union that lasted five years.
Meanwhile, in spite of controversy and personnel turnovers, Guns N' Roses had actually continued to record music. After the Use Your Illusion sets of 1991 and the 1993 punk covers album The Spaghetti Incident?, the band went on hiatus. Slash formed a side project called Slash's Snakepit, which consisted of fellow Gunners Matt Sorum (drums) and Gilby Clarke (guitar), plus bassist Mike Inez and vocalist Eric Dover. The group released an album in 1995 titled It's Five O'Clock Somewhere; Slash hit the road with a slightly different touring lineup, with Brian Tichy and James LoMenzo signing on as the rhythm section. In 1996, Slash put together a different band to play at a blues festival in Budapest, an endeavor that evolved into Slash's Blues Ball. Featuring vocalist/harmonica player Teddy Andreadis, rhythm guitarist Bobby Schneck, saxophonist Dave McClarem, bassist Johnny Griparic, and drummer Alvino Bennet, Slash's Blues Ball devoted themselves primarily to a repertoire of classic blues covers, plus occasional GNR and Snakepit material.
Rumors about the status of Guns N' Roses had been swirling for some time, and in October 1996 it was confirmed that, owing to his unwillingness to follow Axl Rose's interest in industrial and electronic music, Slash was no longer a member of the band (although he left the door open for a reunion if Rose decided to return to guitar-based rock & roll). He gigged off and on with the Blues Ball into 1998, although a rumored live album never materialized. Instead, Slash decided to re-form the Snakepit in 1999 with an entirely different lineup (the original members were by this time involved in other projects, and the Blues Ball was more suited to touring than developing original material). Raspy-voiced singer Rod Jackson and ex-Venice drummer Matt Laug came on board, along with Blues Ball bassist Griparic (now Johnny Blackout) and Teddy Andreadis, who contributed keyboard and harmonica work. After trying out ex-Alice Cooper guitarist Ryan Roxie, Slash settled on rhythm guitarist Kerry Kelly, who had previously worked with Warrant and Ratt.
The new Snakepit played some gigs together and in the spring of 2000 completed a new album, which was originally slated to be released on Interscope/Geffen. However, feeling that a more traditional guitar rock album would get lost in the promotional shuffle, Slash moved over to Koch, which finally released Ain't Life Grand in October 2000. A few years later, Slash teamed up again with McKagan and other notable rockers to form the supergroup Velvet Revolver, who released their first album in 2004.
