BraveWords.com caught up with Slash recently and discussed such topics as his love for the city, pre-show jitters, the gelling of his current band, working with such icons as MICHAEL JACKSON and ALICE COOPER and much, much more. The press were cautioned not to bring up the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame debacle and any mention of Guns N' Roses singer Axl Rose, but at the end of the chat Slash mentions that all the hoopla around the induction ceremony taking place April 14th in Cleveland, Ohio is being "blown out of proportion."
