Written Information : I am researching the guitarist Slash. He plays the guitar and used to play in the band Guns and Roses. He plays the genre rock and also at times plays punk rock. Rock is music that has a strong beat and a simple melody. Punk rock consists of loud, intense music with strong and sometimes abusive lyrics. Slash mostly played rock with the band Guns and Roses but later in life went alone to play.

Slash was born on July 23, 1965 in Hampsted, London. As a child slash was raised by his parents and with help from his grandparents. In 1972, Slashes brother was born. When he was 14, Slash heard an Areosmith song and learned that he wanted to learn guitar. His grandma found an old guitar in her closet and Slash got taught by his music teacher. He then started a band that was unsuccessful. He then joined the band Guns and Roses and it was a huge success. It had many number one ranking songs and had many concerts. Slash now plays alone and is still releasing albums.
