Slash has a new solo album, “Apocalyptic Love,” to promote and, while he continues to do just that, his recent Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame induction as a member of Guns N’ Roses is still on people’s minds.
Slash spoke about the Rock Hall experience recently with Fox News' Fox 411.
“It’s really about the band,” explains Slash. “The entity that recorded that music that we were inducted for. And, so, it’s not about me personally. I don’t know if I feel that much about it personally, but I feel proud to have been involved in creating the music that that band recorded.”
Following all the drama that led up to the April 14 event in Cleveland, Slash remains pleased with the results.
“I’m glad I went,” he says. “There was a lot of mixed feelings about the whole thing. There was the positive side to it which is, obviously, being acknowledged by the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame, but then the negative side is like, ‘how are we going to pull this together.’ Given our history, it didn’t seem possible. At the end, the people that wanted to be there and accept the acknowledgment showed up and we got to play and it worked out really good and it was a great experience.”
