After many bands, projects, and collaborations, it looks like guitar legend Slash, aka Saul Hudson, has found a place to lay down his hat again. But don’t get him wrong: although he gave it his name (or his pseudonym, rather), his latest project is a band in its own right, with “a definite chemistry”. In the following interview, the guitarist evokes something he hasn’t “really felt this since the early Guns N’ Roses days” – a strong statement. “Free”, “comfort”, “understanding” – the words the man in the hat uses explain why everything seems to be working so well with singer Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators (with Todd Kerns on bass and Brent Fitz on drums). For Slash, this is a “blessing”, a collaboration that came naturally, without being planned. The best things in life are even better when you don’t expect them.
From this union came a first album, Apocalyptic Love, then a second, World On Fire, released last September, full to bursting with rock n’ roll. Slash in all his glory. Slash in all his generosity. We were lucky enough to question him on all these subjects and many more (he confessed, in particular, to being a Gojira fan). He answered in his surprisingly soft, calm voice, so at odds with the nervousness of his music, and yet perfectly in accord with the man’s genuine class.
