Born in England, but raised in LA, Slash was 15 when he first held the beat-up, one-string guitar his grandmother had discarded in a closet.
As soon as he could string chords and a solo together, Slash wanted to be in a band. He found that band in the form of Guns N' Roses, one of the greatest rock 'n roll bands of all time.
Here for the first time ever, Slash describes how he survived it all: lawsuits, rehab, riots, the women, the drugs, drink and whatever else crossed his path as he rode the most insane rock 'n' roll wave of a generation.
