Alternative Nation has transcribed an interview with Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash conducted by The Project out of New Zealand on January 25th. Following is an excerpt from the report.

The interviewer asked what keeps Slash going, especially since he’s no longer doing drugs and drinking. He asked if apart from live shows, if there is any other appeal?

Slash: "No. It’s all about the music. The only reason I make records is so I can go out and tour, because as a guitar player, I love playing guitar. I don’t love being in the studio, I don’t love sitting around my house playing the guitar, I like playing live. So I dig that, but I’m sort of rare, there’s not too many people that have been doing this as long as I have, who actually enjoy it as much as I do.”
