GOT A QUESTION FOR SLASH? If it's a good one, you may see it answered by Slash himself in a forthcoming issue of GP, so please post your brilliant queries as soon as they come to mind, or email them to me directly. (By submitting a question, you agree GP that may publish it, edit it for brevity or clarity, and attribute your forum name to it. If you prefer, you may also supply your actual name, with city/region of residence.) THANKS!

Q; "Apart from the monetary aspect, how do you feel about being involved with and featured on Guitar Hero III and influencing a whole new generation of fans?"
My 2 boys 9 and 12 just love Slash, G&R and Velvet Revolver songs and it's gone beyond the GH video games now to where they and alot of their friends are getting real guitars and actually learning to play.

I like some of his stuff, most of it on the 1st GN'R album.
Seems like a cool guy, though...
I still want to know if he'd donate something like a Les Paul Custom or Supreme (or something of the sort) to the Millo cause.

I used to, I mean, he's still a great player, but I just don't care for his style, and I don't like his phrasing that much.

Q: You recorded a Smooth Jazz piece (Obsession Confession on the movie soundtrack to Curdled).
What was your motivation to do that and should we expect some more Smooth Jazz (or any other musical style not normally associated with Slash) in the future?

I heard Slash is a cool guy. He had some funny stories from his book. I don't listen to much GNR.

Dear Mr. Slash,
How much longer does the Doctor say you have to wear that hat?

Yeah...the whole hat and nose ring image is a bit "dated".
Do you plan on ever changing it?

Question:
You and Axl definitely had something special as a team with GnR. Since you split from the band, you have maintained your own image and degree of commercial and artistic success and credibility, while Axl has obviously had some difficult times. Do you consciously look for good opportunities, just do what feels natural, or take any gig you can get?
Follow Up:
Do you feel that appearing in the ads for the VW/First Act thing, and the Guitar Hero video game enhance your credibility, or is it a matter of extracting some cash from your established cred.

What's next- another Velvet Revolver album, or another Slash's Snakepit project? Something totally different?
Or Guitar Hero IV?
Any chance of you & Scott Weiland doing a cover of Amy Winehouse's "Rehab"?
