Slash Gets Roasted For Less Than Stellar Acoustic Guitar Solo
When you are famous, there is no hiding from the public. Everybody has an opinion on what you wear, what you say, and what you weigh. With the advent of social media, it’s impossible to elude the onslaught of comments – some of them blistering and barbed – from people who consider themselves experts on practically everything under the sun. Having said that, be aware that Slash, 59, (actual name Saul Hudson) the former lead guitarist from Guns N’ Roses, is coming under a barrage of unkind scrutiny for what onlookers believe was a not-up-to-par acoustic guitar performance.
Slash Played ‘Crossroads’ At The Grammy Museum In Los Angeles Last October
It Was A Small Live Event
Let me set the stage for you, so to speak. Per Whiskey Riff, Slash was with renowned music producer Mike Clink. They got together for a small-scale event at the Grammy Museum titled An Evening With Slash And Mike Clink. The pair treated the audience to a song called “Crossroads.” According to the outlet, “…the original “Crossroad” or “Cross Road Blues” written and released by Robert Johnson back in 1936,…”
People Jumped On Slash On X With Harsh Words For His Acoustic Guitar Playing
“Seems like he is trying too hard.”
“He ain’t no Billy Strings that for damn sure!”
“Not clean and somehow soulless? Never understood the fuss about this guy’s playing. SRV [Stevie Ray Vaughan] this isn’t…”
“play acustic is sooooooooo different to play electric….average”
Others Praised Slash’s Performance With Equal Vehemence
“The strings met their true master.”
“Love it!”
“He is so good.”
“Good stuff.”
“Slash has been demonstrating his talent on guitar for 40 years.“
Guns N’ Roses Was Inducted Into The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame In 2012
Slash And His Band Mates Deserved The Prestigious Honor
Per the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame web site, “Mainstream hard rock wasn’t the same after the members of Guns n’ Roses sank their teeth into it. The band’s sound combined a reverence for classic rock titans (to name a few, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Aerosmith and Queen) with metal’s abrasive snarls and punk’s sneering dislike of authority.”
Well said!
Earlier this week, rock legend Slash found himself in the hot seat after a less than stellar acoustic guitar solo during a live performance. Fans and critics alike took to social media to roast the iconic guitarist for the lackluster performance.
Many fans were quick to point out that Slash is known for his electric guitar skills, and that perhaps the acoustic guitar just isn’t his strong suit. Others joked that it sounded like he had never picked up an acoustic guitar before in his life.
While Slash is undeniably a guitar virtuoso, this mishap just goes to show that even the best can have an off night. Hopefully, Slash will take this as a learning experience and come back stronger than ever in his future performances.
In the meantime, the internet continues to buzz with memes and jokes about Slash’s less than stellar acoustic guitar solo. It’s all in good fun, but it’s definitely a reminder that even the greatest rock stars have their off days.
