Metro.co.uk conducted a 60 Second Interview with guitar legend Slash (VELVET REVOLVER, ex-GUNS N' ROSES) recently. Here are a few excerpts from the chat:

Metro.co.uk: What was the high point of your time in Guns N’ Roses?

Slash: "The whole thing was a high point. It was the best thing I could have got involved with. I always judged how successful we were by the response from the fans. Towards the end it was overwhelming. The biggest concerts we did were two Rock In Rio festivals, where we played to more than 190,000 people. Playing in front of that many people is a lot to take in so I hid behind the guitar, the hat, the hair, the cigarette – but you can definitely still feel them out there."

Metro.co.uk: Will you ever work with Axl Rose again?

Slash: "I always say ‘never say never’ but it’s not going to happen in the foreseeable future."

Metro.co.uk: You’ve worked with a variety of famous musicians. With whom did you get on best?

Slash: "I really got on great with almost all of them. MICHAEL JACKSON’s record was a special moment, so was working with IGGY POP, LENNY KRAVITZ and RAY CHARLES. A not-so-great one was with Bob Dylan. That was a huge learning experience. I was recommended for a guitar solo on his track 'Wiggle Wiggle' during one of his darker periods in the late 1980s. I put a solo on there that I was quite proud of and put an acoustic rhythm track underneath it. When I heard it, only the acoustic track was there. Apparently he took the solo off because it sounded too much like Guns N’ Roses."

Metro.co.uk: You were dead for eight minutes after a drugs overdose. Did you see a white light?

Slash: "No I didn’t. That would have been awesome. I was too inebriated to recall anything. That time was a oneoff. I’d kept my nose clean prior to that. I stayed away from drugs for a little while after."

Metro.co.uk: How did you hit upon wearing a top hat on stage?

Slash: "I just saw it in a store one day and thought it was cool. It just spoke to me and became an item I wore all the time."
