The reason for me writing this quick blog about it is because SLASH is a genuine Legend of music, I've read his autobiography and it is so insightful and amazing, SLASH is a self taught musician, eventually becoming the WORLD FAMOUS Guitarist in the Legendary hard rock band GUNS N ROSES (also known as the "Most Dangerous Band In The World" at the hight of their fame in the 1980s), also forming the Hard-Rock Super group VELVET REVOLVER featuring ex-members of GUNS N ROSES, WASTED YOUTH and STONE TEMPLE PILOTS, and going on to a very successful solo career.
Its so interesting to hear how he talks about working with MICHAEL JACKSON, only wanting to work with him on a professional basis, and resisting getting to evolved on a personal basis with him and the reasons for this decision, when most pop acts these days CANT wait to be associated with him, to say they have worked with MICHAEL even if its a duet that's been put together after MICHAELS death (check out the MICHAEL album).
So again is it through pure talent ? or to use an established figure like MJ to boost their careers ??
I also agree with what the interview'er said in relation to the 70's music era that they just done exist any more, and yes I'm well aware of the fact that were now in the 00's and that music has to change and evolve, but in reality the 70's and 80's artists and bands paved the way for the new generation, and I just don't think personally we have the same calibur of artists we did then, and to take us forward in music.
ENIGMA.
